Why people get so excited about fringe players like Alex Johnston ...got me beat

He’s not a fringe player he’s still a very reliable winger.

And sometimes players just need a change of club to get the best out of them.

The main attribute of the top wingers these days tends towards size rather than speed. Sivo, Furguson, Tupou, Morris, Oates, Cotric, Feldt etc. They're not slow by any means but not plain out and out speedsters. They're all big b@st@rds though.

Wingers who can fill in at fullback aren’t what we need. We need experienced forwards with impact who can bring our young pack through.

Have we still got any players on our squad managed by Isaac Moses? Hope not! NRL needs to de-register his entire company. Sent the Tigers backwards for years, doing the same at Broncos and Warriors. Canberra had enough sense to not be played.

Yes brooks, eisenhuth (I think) probably a few more.

I can’t believe Isaac hit back At Canberra and said they are in deep cap trouble next two years surely that’s a breach of confidentiality or something?

I remember the great reviews Cotric received when he first came into the NRL. Cotric had the chance to win the game after being put into the clear but had a 60 to 70m sprint to the try line. He couldn't do it as his pace became modest after 30 metres or so. It was like drinking a glass of your favourite wine watching if my memory is correct Thurston cover tackle him (over the sideline I think). Just thinking about it made me think what a great player Thurston was for the NRL.

It’s called realism and also almost every big money player we’ve ever signed has flopped here.

There is a difference between big money and quality

I’d argue we need both. A quality winger on the left side would really improve our team and I think we are missing that origin level prop in our team however our guys are developing nicely and I have a feeling madge will trust them to lead our pack.

Bateman is a great player but you’d want nothing to do with Moses.

More clubs are going to start dealing with this grub less and less. watch his stable of clients begin to dwindle

 

[OzLuke]

Player I don't mind watching is Elliott from the Dogs....plays his guts out in a hopeless side....handy with the ball.....takes dirty hit ups....could be forced from the club IF the reports are correct

We should have gone hard for him last year. Perhaps he doesn't want to come to the club that his brother died at though. Might be too painful.

Its not his job to manage the Raiders cap
And how would he know unless all Raiders players are managed by him
It is up to Canberra who they keep and who they release
All clubs should take a stance against any player managed by moses or his company
Simple, don't sign or re sign any player that continues to be managed by Moses and his cronies

Yeah I reckon that would be part of it. Mo is a terrific players

I think there will only ever be one Fotuaika to don the Tigers jersey & unfortunately the world will never get to see him reach his full potential as a player, man & father. Hopefully his name will never be lost to the Tigers & the supporters. Perspective is a wonderful thing.

The only posts I ever read from you are those where you tell people to stop posting what they wish to post. This is a forum... What's with that?
