Some caller on 2sm reported this arvo Corey Thompson to Penrith....anyone heard anything about this

Most callers on 2SM are already six schooners deep by this point. I used to listen to Talkin' Bulldogs for a laugh but it's beyond that now.

Absolutely shocking show - gave up on them ages ago. I can't stand listening to know all Tunks - he waffles on as though he is in the know and he hasn't got a clue.

Tunks is a spanner. The golf day where Blocker and Tunks were both speakers, Blocker told funny stories and got laughs, Tunks bitched about how much money players make now and how soft they are.
 
Stefano Utoikamanu. Adam Douhei will be the next two signed. We will have one spot left for a pre June 30 move. I would assume some final year players may be moved on before June 30 ET, Eisenhuth, Jennings, McQueen. Our roster management has been good Douhei will be a good 6 when Benji retires.

News is AJ wants to see out his contract with Souths and is determined to stay put. Let's see how that works out for him. On the other hand Marwene Hiroti is very keen. He's on a train and trial with the Sharks but his preference is the Tigers, most likely more opportunities.

Wheee did you see that?

A source at Souths

That’s a shame and surprising. With us has the chance to play fullback and get good money. There’s a chance with Souths he doesn’t make first grade. Weird.

He might stick it out til June. But when he’s In reggies behind

Mitchell
Graham
Burns
Roberts
Gagai

He probably changes his mind.

So will Thompson be fullback come round 1?

If tigers are SERIOUSLY after a fullback and a fullback only (Not utility) but want to save money for a NAME winger or centre then they really should go after edwards or aetkins only. Both off contract 2020 both gunning for the same spot in the same team. They rate VERY highly on the VFM ranks

Catching is not one of Edwards' strengths. Pace is also not a strength.

Catching definitely not but I thought Edwards was quick?

The Club needs to be looking at 5/8 For 2021 no doubt , whether Douhei is it who knows !

Tunks is a spanner. The golf day where Blocker and Tunks were both speakers, Blocker told funny stories and got laughs, Tunks bitched about how much money players make now and how soft they are.

Who remembers when Blocker played his first reserve grade game at Leichhardt? Tunks played for Souths and the first scrum that went down Tunks tried to put it on Blocker who stood and belted Tunks. After they were both sent off the Ground Announcer asks if Mr Roach could come to the dressing room (to cool Blocker down).

I thought we weren’t entertaining his heavily back ended deal
 
Like every season, there will be plenty of players breaking contracts and moving clubs in 2020 so there will be several opportunities to buy what we need.

Too late for him by then. WT can't wait that long for a spine position occupant.

Who do you think dropped/fumbled the least amount of kicks last year out of these?

Edwards tom turbo RTS Milford/boyd ?

No he lacks pace and is more of a strong runner.

Conspiracy theory - I keep wondering why roosters were so keen to gift us a fullback.
Only thing I can come up with is Tedesco is approachable nov this year.

No way Tedesco will ever come back. He's won two premierships in two years at the club he loved as a kid and has everything paid for him. As long as he's fit Uncle Nick will sure he'll stay.

He's gone and will stay gone.

And should stay gone. I don't want him back.

Tedesco has speed...

I thought you had finished your fishing trip up north?

What are the chances of landing adam doueihi?
 
some experts on this forum proclaimed that we don't need Tedesco, and we would be better off if we swapped him for Moylan or Weighton. talking about 'the grass is greener on the other side', however, a few years later ...

Based on what TYGA? Pascoe told the Herald he had ruled Douhei out as a target.
