Hastings’ comment….

James T peeling oranges

Captain Cremin of the Star Corp maybe?


I think you mean Captain Kremmen,Kenny Everett was one of my favourite comedians.When he died it was a sad loss

Yeh Kenny Everett video show was awesome heh, and very raunchy with the dancing girls, phew!

Kenny came after Benny Hill I think and the 2 shows were similar, naughty and pointed and funny.
Goodies was a another favourite, monty python and young ones are they were the days.

Pretty ridiculous tbh. I know it’s only a minor thing if it’s official, but no more press releases from the club, the emperor announces it via Twitter.

Could you imagine the PC brigade if those shows were on TV now.
 
Anyone reckon we got James Segeyaro?

Mentions in one of his videos he accepted a train and trial deal for a club yesterday but didn’t reveal which club

I’m leaning towards thinking it’s the dogs, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we gave the idea a sniff

Article from https://www.sportingnews.com/au/league/news/nrl-2022-rugby-league-super-league-england-featherstone-rovers-joey-leilua-contract-wests-tigers/

Joey Leilua's shock admission after signing with UK second-division side Featherstone Rovers
Liam O'Loughlin
NRL discard Joey Leilua has admitted he didn't know Featherstone Rovers were a second-division side, after his attempts to join the Super League were shut down.
The 30-year-old was left unsigned by the Tigers at the end of 2021 after a falling out with head coach Michael Maguire, with no other clubs in Australia willing to sign the bulldozing centre.
Leilua was looking for a move overseas into the Super League, but according to the Samoan international, that was ruined by people bad-mouthing him and his reputation.
In an interview with BBC Sport upon arrival in England, Leilua revealed he was described as a 'bad person' by an unnamed source, as well as not knowing Featherstone's standing in UK football.
“At first, I was trying to come over to different clubs and they wanted me," he said.
"They came back to my manager and my manager said to me that someone had been putting in their ear that I’m a bad person, which I already knew who it was and it’s obviously one person. It was difficult to come over.
“I got a phone call from Brian and Martin to come over here and play – I didn’t know they were second division to be honest. The way they spoke to me, I thought they were first division.
"They spoke to me and convinced me to come over and my wife said to come over and start fresh and enjoy it here. It will be good for the kids, it’s somewhere different.
“It was disappointing that my name was getting tossed around and that I was that type of person that was bad for the club. At the same time, I knew the person I was and I wasn’t going to change.
"Featherstone came along and said they don’t care about what has happened, and that’s why I respect him so much. I can’t wait to repay them the favour they showed me."
Leilua has a wealth of NRL experience, and if he is anywhere near his best, he should dominate the Championship and earn a deal with a Super League outfit.
Quizzed on his potential to dominate for the Rovers, Leilua remained coy but did reveal he hopes to replicate the form he showed at Canberra a few years ago.
“I don’t want to say too much, I’ll just have to wait and see," he said.
"For me, I want to give it my best and hopefully get that form I had three years ago at the Raiders. It was disappointing I didn’t have any form at the Tigers, a lot of things went wrong there, but that’s in the past and I want to leave that behind me.
"Right now, I feel great and after doing boxing, it has made me fit and the lungs have opened up."

I actually feel a bit sorry for him. He has the build to be the best centre in the NRL and now he's over there, playing second division.

THat is actually, genuinely hilarious. Beej has become a full blown parody of himself.

Noffa has got 1 wing spot sewn up and is on the field for the full 80 each week. Has been at the club for his whole career, so ticks a few boxes to be captain. Might not be a bad option actually. A 10 minute a game prop or an introverted halfback are probably not the answer either, so why not give him a crack?!

Because he's always looking for someone else to blame when he let's a try in

He has zero leadership qualities and is realistically a fringe starter. Tamou can be club captain and then add Doueihi and Hastings to the leadership group, and that'll do.

He's not fringe though; he will start all/most games. You may be right about the leadership stuff though, but he may grow into it if given a chance. Doueihi is certainly the captain in waiting, but as he is not playing for half the season, we need someone to start in the role now.

Twal said in the podcast Nofo is great for the energy, always gets the guys fired up, always talking.... we only see what we see on TV.

He'd be a better option than Brooks... and Tamou.

You're not related to him are you Demps?
Seriously - He would have the Lowest Football IQ in our squad I'd reckon...
Even in general he's not the sharpest tool in the shed....
If he's captain - I'd give up.

Why not, tamou no Einstein.

Grand final winner
SOO rep
Has more to offer than Noffo as captain

Not last year.
 
Tamou has nothing to offer.
Be real.

Nofo trumps him every day... and Nofo is average as it gets.
