Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Williams was challenging his students to not accept the status quo and think of the subject in a very different way.
Sounds like the Walker Bros coaching style !

but he was as well, he was trying to make the players believe in themselves, believe that even if it is the 70min there is always a chance and to hang tough in the game. though the delivery was an issue I was not privy to the amount of physical work that went into the squad to build this level of endurance.
Obviously it was nothing like Todd Payten and his assistants set out to accomplish in the off season.

Let’s see next year after another off season of ‘training the house down’ if the gap is the roster itself or the method of the teachings.

He was so embarrassing in that doco. How any fan liked him more after that is beyond me. The whole thing came across as lame and amateur.

To me the whole club came across as lame and amateur

All this talk of Munster and Moses suggests that Douehi is either out of favour or wants to go elsewhere

Maby it’s a ploy to put pressure on him to resign

Nailed it. I heard either from Lee or WTP that the club were suprised with the angle fox went when editing.

There was apparently PR content on the board and club that never made the cut.

24/ Spine will be interesting with Muney, Brooks, Moses and Api.
Is it affordable?
Are we then hoping our young forward pack will be enough to get over the line?
Is this why Laurie is being trained as a backup half?
I wonder how Brooks feels about being demoted to 5/8 again, again. And even Marshall whom suggested after the parramatta game that Brooks should move back to Halfback hmmm.
Could Sheens do a Val Holmes on Adam Doueihi and convince him that he will become a rep quality centre if allows himself to believe that he can be more involved in a game if he is playing a position other than 5/8.

That's only adding Klemmer, Frizzell, Munster and Moses to a team we already have. Surely we can get that under the cap!

Live the dream ….. but when reality bites I think we might be happy if we just jag one of those.

Kinda think fir next year at best we’ll end up with players like Brown, Fifita, Doorey and couple of players from either NZ rugby or ESL.
But I’m here to be surprised …. please.

I like Douehi’s hustle and passion but he’s way behind those two.

Regardless of what happens

Love the fact Sheens, Marshall and Farah aren’t settling for nuffies and throwing there hats in for the big fishes - very refreshing

Worst we can do is make other clubs sweat around Moses and Munster

 

[hsvjones]

If we are serious about Munster, Brown or Moses etc... I would be having a good crack at Burton.
He is a star in the making and already played SOO and we all know the dogs cap must be close to been filled.. Even if it only makes Dogs increase offer that would be a win as them getting him for 800k is a bargain IMO. Give Gus some of his own medicine

Burton is Douhie step brother.

Did they also mention Garner to Penrith and Tuilagi to Manly ?

Jesus to Jerusalem

I'm hopeful on Jason Bateman.

Don't be. He's been a broke-down shell of himself since he returned from Canberra. That shoulder surgery did him in. Maybe the same surgeon who ruined Sammy's shoulder. The guy you should be looking at is Jack Welsby. This kid is something special. 6'2/6'3 - plays fullback but with the ferocity of a backrow forward. Quick. Explosive. Ferocious competitor. Best of all - off-the-charts rugby IQ. Scores. Huge number of assists. 20 - 21 years old? Generational talent. He's definitely going to the NRL and the club that gets him will be lucky to have him.

Garner cnd Tuilagi had all ready sign earlier in the year Madden was rumoured to be going to Penrith but has officially been signed to Bronco's

We've had this argument many times over. It's always been someone else's fault. He didn't have the spine apparently, but he had a spine with Moses, Teddy and Farah.

Then he didn't have the pack, but he had Galloway, Woods, Taupau, Gavet.

Then he didn't have the coach. Couldn't do it under Potter, Taylor, Cleary or Madge.

There's always an excuse with him. Other players and coaches have all taken the bullet when they've underperformed (I include Madge in this as well, before you try to go the apologist route on me,) it's Brooks turn.

The forwards you’ve named as his pack are quite ploddish . When has he had a good pack?
