Publicly?

Yes on his Fox sports show.
At the start of the year.

Rod wishart absolute legend

Every time I hear Rod Wisharts name I think of the 12th man skit where Australia flogs Britian in the Rugby League by 150 points, and he's imitating Ian Maurice saying "Rod Wishart, an unhappy day with the boot, failing to land one."

Great read here on Ben Houston's train and trial deal with the team. Randwick Rugby club captain and top tackler. 196cm and 104kg. Could be a diamond in the rough, time will tell but he's "training the house down".

Randwick captain’s bold bid to earn stripes as prop with Wests Tigers

This is why Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens was happy to hand a $1000-a-week train-and-trial contract to Randwick’s rugby captain.

The only comment on the article says - "Super Rugby clubs are silly not to pick him up - easily best player in the Shute Shield."

I have zero expectations for this guy. I believe he’s too tall for league and of wants to have an impact he needs to be heavier - more around 115kg.

The guy will be all legs so easy to bring down. Union boys can’t defend.

Hmmm

Issah Yeo is 106kg and 195 cm - probably lots of others as well with similar stats
Also one of the best defensive forwards I have seen was Ray Price

So I think we wait and see what this guys does - I watched him play twice last year for Randwick and he is a quality player with a big heart

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I honestly think Moses will stay with Parra. Even with their losses, they've just come off a grand final, if Hodgson stays fit for them they'll still do OK next year. Canterbury will throw the chequebook at him as they desperately need a 7.

I think in the three horse race we're definitely well behind.

Irrelevant Benny, no one cares & what he thinks makes no difference

Actually, solely on the position of commenting on his nephew, Benny is probably as relevant here as he is ever going to be.

I used to get a free telegraph with my fish n chips..back in the day. 🥃

It will be a shame when the newspaper finally dies

Yeah time will tell if he's more Yeo or Seyfarth

Maybe so, but the rest of Ink's sentence rings true. Most don't care what rent-a-quote thinks or has to say.

Couple of the indigenous kids look alright. There's some tanks in the forwards. TT looks great. Might be his year, training with the backs. It's a big backline if we've got TT, Naden, Ken, Tupou. Naden is very quick too. Didn't sight AJ. Bula though, he's a star athlete. If he can play footy he could be anything. Bloke can fly I reckon. I can see why AD and Laurie need to earn their extensions because there's some great young athletes there.

I see Bula in the Folau type mould. Big, strong, and fairly fast. He doesn't have any ball skills though, and doesn't communicate much. Which is why he's a winger for the foreseeable future.

Shaun Lane clone hopefully.

Maybe upgrade on Seyfarth?

 

[Halbrowne61]

Interesting trivia off topic. The crowd when Parra won their first comp was 57333. Turn that upside down.

Whoa, do you have a lot of time on your hands ?

 

[deBeer]

Maybe upgrade on Seyfarth?

Wouldn't be hard to find one.

 

[Batmans Parents]

Maybe upgrade on Seyfarth?

Definitely. Then again, Arthur Beetson’ corpse would be an upgrade on Seyfarth

 

[sleeve]

Is seyfarth the new dartboard ?

 

[Fingers83]

Is seyfarth the new dartboard ?

He's certainly not a dart, would have trouble penetrating the board.

I hope he is. But the expectations of a second rower in league and Union are so different. League second rowers aren’t tall enough to play league. League second rowers are more athletic than Union second rowers.

Brad Thorne is the exception to the rule and in my opinion is the most successful dual international of all time. Reason being he played in the second row in both games and what he achieved.

Hopefully this bloke is Brad Thorne MkII

He is my new Matt Parsons - and I refused to watch a game he partook in.

Interesting fact that. I wonder if they slightly fudged the crowd numbers to achieve that result.

One thing you can't dispute is that it took them 34 years to win their first premiership but it has been longer than that since they won their last.

Mitch Moses will probably be a very old man when they win their next.
