:smirk:

Too small, even though he is good in defence plus we couldn't afford him.

To be honest the only rugby players that would, have done ok in League are the outside backs. Some will disagree and say Ricky Stuart and Wally Lewis but they were an anomaly. In reality forwards rarely make an impact when they move across codes (except maybe Thorn and Price). Most dual internationals are in the backline.

I have been watching a number of League converts over the past few weeks trial in rugby and they won't make it. The basic skills of both games take years to learn, especially in the case of rugby forwards and the halves.

Maybe Thorn? He's the most successful crossover player there's ever been. Won gf's, played Origin, won a World Cup, won Super Rugby titles. Everything he ever touched turned to gold.

Ben Kennedy was pretty good, played 3 years at Manly rugby in the shute shield before transferring to league

Because he is crap and wants a lot of money. I hope Madge stays away. Im worried that with his previous ties to the club he may be looking that way but there is genuinely noone at Souffs I'd want here.

Isn’t Tommy Talau a 6 in the making?

No no no. Don’t want him. Absolutely fell apart after origin and not getting any younger.

And a Brooks and Reynolds combo wouldn't be ugly either

 

[tigerap]

My concern with signing Moylan is two fold, firstly, yes he would probably add something but would the cost equate to benefits..I doubt it.
Secondly..why would you give the Sharks a leg up by helping them move on a player and create cap space. I see it as madness.

Maybe different if there is a swap with JR in the deal. That way both clubs are getting cap relief

I'd go for that...two duds swap clubs....

Geo wouldn't even remember saying what he said 10 minutes ago

I think he supports each club for about an 1 1/2 hours everyday

From our friend The Mole this morning
TIGERS HUNGRY FOR SHARK
Now that the Tigers have pulled out of the race to sign Latrell Mitchell, they have ramped up their bid to sign Cronulla utility Matt

Moylan.
The Sharks are reportedly happy to let Moylan go after an injury-plagued season that saw him play just 11 games in 2019.
The Tigers have money to spend following Ryan Matterson's departure and see Moylan as a valuable player given his ability to play almost anywhere in the backline

Xerri please............

The worrying aspect of signing Moylan is the 11 games he only played last year and the HIA injury which manifested it self after the game
If funds are still available a boots and all offer to Xerri would be the way to go would be cheaper alternative than LM with potential (there's that word again) plus and apparently the Rorters have list interest.
