Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think the Momorovski chapter is closed.

Seems like an alright guy and did alright for us, had a decent career... but we're onto bigger things.
Sure but our centre options are the aren't the best and depth there is very shallow at best. Paul is proven and would be a good buy to strengthen that area
 
He then went to Wigan and won a ton of trophies. They were easily the best team on the planet at the time largely because they were the only full time team on the planet. After that he went to Auckland - disaster. Returned to Wigan - bigger disaster. Coaches have a shelf-life - whether it be rugby, football, gridiron, whatever. When it's hot it's hot. And when it goes sideways you very rarely come back. In his final two stints in England Sheens took Hull KR up from the second division, won some games, lost even more games, made a ton of very dubious signings (Adam Quinlan was his playmaking fullback ... Adam Quinlan!), the team's form collapsed, he lost the dressing room and they ran him out the door. He then went to Widnes and was kicked out before he'd even taken off his coat. If Sheens had been all that he would have been snapped up by one of the bigger teams (like a Tony Smith or an Ian Watson). No one was interested in hiring him - beyond Widnes. No one.
We'll see

To fit the narrative you people are now comparing Montoya with the likes of Grothe Snr - Vatuvei or Tuiaki!

He ain't that special folks - but steamrolled Staines who at least got his body in front
I’d be willing to bet every fullback in the comp has had the same thing happen to them at some stage. Remember Sivo almost killing Tedesco? As a fullback you’d be lucky to stop 1/5 in that situation.
 
Why are we talking about Staines at fullback, Laurie is absolutely a better all round fullback than Staines, he will get first shot. People just banking on players to fail, Laurie will be fine
Laurie has more x factor and a better passing game but Staines from what I've seen is better under the high ball(laurie lets it bounce too much,), better at supporting around the ruck(laurie can get lazy) and has better defensive positioning
 
Wayne Bennett is after another Bronco. According to Courier Mail, Tom Flegler has been offered a monster contract from the Dolphins, worth more than 800k a season. Manly have been chasing him for months, offering him around 625k a year to head to Sydney. Also being reported JWH will either retire or head to the super league next year, with a similar story regarding Daniel Tupou & with the future of Angus Crichton up in the air, questions are being asked
 
I disagree...
He played 1 in the 2018 Flegg Grandfinal (5 Seasons ago)
with Dean Blore and Brendan Hands in the halves...

The year before that (2017 In SG Ball) he was the Fullback

The year before that, He was playing Bush Footy at home.
(All online if you care to look it up)
He played the odd game at 6 with Staines at 1...
He's been a FB predominantly for years...

I'm not saying he "Can't" Play 6,
But anyone who claims he can - Or has a "memory" of him doing it.....
Is basically making sh*it up.


Seriously....
Think Panthers worked out they had a talent,but already had a quality no 6..in their ranks....2 of em..so where where else can we play him?
No one is pretending to have a "memory" of opposition juniors from half a decade or more ago...it's simply them being pragmatic
As we need to do also
Maybe you too?
