Rochow will not be with us in 2019

Thank god…was very poor after a promising start to 2018..//hope he takes McQueen with him.

 

[tigerap]

Even the scarecrow knocked Farah and Marshall back… :laughing:

I can kind of cop Farah with Liddle being unable to stay on the field, but Benji, surely he must be on a pie and coke a week contract, otherwise a waste of a top 30 spot

Not less than 300k I reckon

You are probably right, I just don’t want to see Grub on the bench so Benji can play

if Grub is fit in 2019, the #6 should be his every week…..if his form is consistently poor or he is injured then Benji gets his shot...while Grub is shopped around ESL....

As we are light on in the centres does anyone think Benji could play there with grub fit. Would definitely be able to handle it defensively

Benji played centre in Luke Brooks NRL debut, but the legs are a lot older now.

He would do less miles at center . Would probably struggle with the dirty carries though

He could just do dirty carries like Michael Jennings and Latrell Mitchell - watch everyone else do them. :laughing:

Story in today's paper saying Peachey's wife doesn't want to leave Sydney. Penrith have said they can't afford to take him back.

Centre?

We should be on the phone to him and his manager asap.

Centre?

Yes!

 

[The_Patriot]

I'd also look at him as a straight swap with Taylor. Retire Taylor and play Peachey back row

I'd take him in a heart beat did he play under Ivan at all or was Ivan already gone by then?

Correct on the 3 development players moving into the NRL squad. Leaves 3 spots open, plus with McQueen rumblings, should make 4\. Rochow moving on would be nice but not sure it will happen for 2019.
Hoping we get some quality recruits in the outside backs and forwards for those spots. If so the 30 man squad will look like a nice upgrade on this season. Taking out Grant, MWZ, Sue, Tui, Godinet, Kev, McQueen, and replacing them with a mix of some good young guys and hopefully 2-3 quality new players, will make a far better squad all round- certainly a squad capable of reaching the next level. Fingers crossed!

IC was coach from 2012-2015\. Peach joined Panthers in 2014.

On 7 news just now, farah saying he'll be playing on next season.

Surely Benji retires, he was cooked in round 10

Yes agreed, watching Benji over the last few games, although playing with injury, he's not the same Benji who started the season. This season has certainly taken its toll on his body, I bet he goes home after each game and asks himself "why am I still doing this"

In 2005, my then 5 year old son in his Tigers jersey, said he wants to be like Benji .. son now currently 17, 6'4" and a 100kgs of muscle, and still a Tigers supporter, said to me after watching the game last week "crikey Benji looks like he is playing busted, he's spent, he's gone .. time to retire I think" .. lol .. wise thinking from a 17 year old .. !! :unamused:

What position does your son play?

Haha .. sorry but he's a State Rep in Rugby at the moment, he plays number 8 .. which in league would be the lock. I'm working on him to go for a few trial matches next season in League though. He's a tackling machines, he's pulled off some big hits that reminded me off Simon Dywer's big hits .. he doesn't mind a hit up and can offload .. well he can in the under 18's .. lol. I'll might have to send his highlights real from Rugby to the Tigers if he goes alright in the League trial games in the preseason .. lol Unfortunately the trial games will be with a crappy team down here .. but hey gotta start somewhere .. !!

Josh reynolds would be good for the Titans they need a 5/8\. Peachey at left centre for the Tigers.

Thanks for the info. Was thinking he would be a good future recruit because of his size alone. Sounds like he also has some talent. Keep pushing him to be best he can be. Best of luck I am sure will continue to do you proud. Hope to see him in Origin and Tigers colours in the future!!

When you say "retire", do you mean take him out back and break his knees? Because I suspect he don't want to retire. (Plus, I think Ivan likes him. Straight back into firsts and captaincy this week.)
