Edwards, Mate I'm 65 with one eye and am drunk most of the time. Give me a brick

Just because you are old doesn't mean someone should hit you over the head with a brick.

Whos he play for??? What position??

Played for us in the 70s, very popular, especially among the female fans. Played every position !
Went out of favour but who knows, everything old is new again.
Like us !

The politics at Penriff is clear = unless you are a Samoan or Cleary then your job is not secure. Edmonds was MOM in GF but shunned by his teammates cos they were on Luai & Cleary side. Stains is a fullback held back by the improvement by Edmonds who BTW didn't make the OZ WC team.

Who is Edmonds?

People have to understand you just cant be 'Lets just sign premium players uleh' or 'lets look for moneyballs uleh' because you have to understand how a squad works.

You know how so many people is gender fluid now? That is how you have to be in your mind when discussing the salary cap.

This is all a balancing act and imperfect science and you have to be maleable.

We can go for a top shelf player like Klemmer or Crichton, with the same intensity as wanting a wade graham or David Hollis.

For every 700k player you need a moneyball 200k player. That is how squads are.

Cap next yr is 11mil.

11 mil divided by 30 be 366 large.

So for every dollar a player earns over that another player needs to earn under at least

So what you're saying, to pay Luke Brooks's wage. Two blokes have to play for free

Who is Edmonds?

What is Edmonds for 4 pts-Edmond(s) is a fullback for penrith.black n white replays for 20 please Eddy,1st prize is a fax machine

I think Staines will play fullback, with Laurie at five-eighth, and Doueihi at centre.

Gould has claimed for many years now that Laurie is a long-term five-eighth, not a fullback.

He was the one that initially signed him to Penrith so he’d know his game very well.

Likewise, Gould has said similar about Staines. In that when he was debuting on the wing but he is at home at fullback and it’s a matter of time that he is a first grade fullback.
Makes me wonder though both Laurie and Staines wouldn’t cost you the bank. Despite Gus waxing lyrical about the two players why hasn’t their been interest from the Dogs?
Laurie could form a lethal partnership with Burton in the halves and Staines would be more solid then Avarilo as a fullback.
It’s like he endorses these players for certain teams, but when it comes to his own roster there’s other players he’d look at first.

 

[Needaname]

Don’t kid yourself man - Staines went from back up fullback - to 4th string…
He’s only 2nd strong with us - at worst

Oh yeah? How so? Did you see Turuva play fullback for the NRL side? I must of missed it.

Staines debuted earlier in the year for Samoa.

i dont think penrith respects a fullback,not even Brandy
