Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Latu will be in the first grade squad before we know it. Unfortunately I think Sullivan's days are already numbered and he will become an expensive KOE half (for the next 4 years - well done management).

agree think Sullivan will be a 500k Magpies player but at the time the club had no Brooks and an injured AD and at that stage were not sure on getting Luai
club needs to offer up Sullivan and take the hit and move him on at end of the year maybe we need to pay 300k of his 500k to move him off the books

if Latu kills it in cup it would be 7. Latu Fainu 6. Galvin maybe sezer on bench

Two 18 year old halves would be just about unheard of I am guessing? Not against it if they are killing it. big problems when Luai arrives next year on a million dollars though.

I don’t really see a problem it’s a shoot out to see who’s going to partner him in the half’s nothing wrong with abit of healthy competition

You mean all the same stuff you could've read on the Forum when he was with us?
A half has to have the potential to do damage with the ball in his hands.
Hastings makes decisions easy for the defence.

YEah but there isnt another half in the NRL that points like Jackson Hastings....that makes him an oRgAniSer!

I reckon we go four straight then and be the outright record holders!!!

I have to agree with you t40.
I'd be over the moon though if we were able to go one off the bottom.
Imo I've been fairly positive about our Team since I've been on the Forum, but I've given this year away already.
I'll certainly continue to watch on Kayo, but I can't see there being any joy.
If Benji and our coaching team are the real deal, they should have been able to instill more confidence and unity in the players than what they displayed last weekend.
If our next game is just as bad, imo the season is over, we'll be last again.

Having a laugh about Hastings having a sook being dropped. Lol.

Yeah especially after his carry on about playing for Michael Maguire like coaches after they rolled us last year. Suck a dick Hastings!

 

[Tito Santana]

How lame is Dean Ritchie? Pathetic. Looks like a pig.

 

[Snoz]

Is Greg Inglis still working with Jahreem? Wonder how that's going...

I don't need to read them, I wrote them...
He wasn't the answer here...
Don't think he had much to do with the Knights form last year either (Despite the praise here)
It's like saying Daniel Mortimer was the Catalyst for the Parra Run in 09... Just False!!

As I said, He tried - I don't wish him ill,

In the words of the immortal Paul Kent "Whatever the knock on Jackson is, It travels everywhere he goes"
I'm interested to see how it goes when he gets called back (And he will)
and where they play him...

Yep. If we thought Luai was a genuine chance the club surely wouldn't have got Sullivan.

It’s amazing how fast everyone turns. Sullivan wss built up the whole off season as being one of a spoiled amount of options to potentially partner Luai. One game in, he’s been binned. Same goes for Seyfarth. Had developed a little cult following back in February. Now he‘s friendless.

Sullivan has always shown a bit of promise.... Seyfarth on the other hand

Team will be known as 'Benji's babes'

He’s a plodder ( Seyfarth) but imo normally plays better off the bench than starting.

Call em whatever you like BWG, long as they improve our performances.
At least they carry no baggage !

My gut feeling is Galvin & Latu will be difference-makers for us!

In the next year, strengthen our lock & outside backs, and we can make a contest against any team.

But still a bench plodder though right?

 

[hodgo]

i feel like we are doing typical tiger fan things with these kids. One game best player ever next worst player ever. Galvin played well for his first game now he is the messiah and our only future. Bud played bad worst player ever will play cup for the next 4 years. Just give the boys a sample size before you set up their career.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Bit better than that imo, quite often plays at a higher intensity in short spurts. That would indicate stamina the problem.
But definitely not dynamic and if that equals plodder then you are correct and I’m wrong.
Let’s take another look this weekend as he’s coming off the bench.

 

[BZN]

I don't mind him, He doesn't bother me at all....
Just isn't the saviour most here gave him credit for.

He doesn't have the confidence to play at a consistent level in the N.R.L.
But he is highly respected in the English Super League where there isn't the same high level of pressure.
Some people just can't handle high pressure, and we have to understand and respect that.
