Thanks for that. Sad news. Yep I sure remember him in the 70's Magpies- his brother Bill was also a damn good winger for Eats.

🥺😢

Seyfarth on the bench ???

 

[innsaneink]

Gallant is pathways of some kind, so you’d reckon he’d have input.
You got the sarcasm in my post though?

Lol of course...but it dont seem to far from the truth eh

Seyfarth needed to be dropped to the bench. He’s a liability on the edge with his defensive reads and lack of lateral movement.

Much better off the bench. Bird in the backrow does seem light, however this is the week to do it as the opposing backrower will be Ben Trobojevic who is also a light weight backrower.

Space Mase to be in the NRL team for the next month at FB?

You don’t like Mase ?
I guarantee you he won’t be the reason why we don’t win at Brookvale.

Is there a reason why you post this in the signings thread every week when we have a team announcement thread?

 

[426Tlgerland]

I don't hate it

Mason to reserve grade , Staines to Fullback , and I’m happy

I post it early and can’t be bothered to make proper thread

I only really read this thread so it’s fine with me lol.

Another take on it.

Galvin leaves the club..

Everyone says how poorly the tigers are run and that Gus outsmarted us and got his man.

Then Latu Fainu gets his chance and shows us in just 30 mins at 7 (against the form team of the completion) that he is head and shoulders above Galvin...

And Gus was sitting at home last night wishing he had Latu over Galvin.

Adel Hage said when the Galvin drama was happening, let him go. Whatever we do we can't lose Latu. He said if he stays fit in 10 years it's not the Cleary Munster rivalry. It's the Latu Katoa rivalry. He said he's that good🤞

 

[liltiger]

Sounds to me like the dogs have cap issues

Gus should have thought about that before pinching a 19 year old and paying him 750k.

I have said many times I like him … but not as an NRL player right now …he is 19 and shouldn’t be at this level yet …they aren’t doing him any favours with this level of scrutiny and it exposes him to be targeted by the opposition like the past 2 weeks

FB hey ? Did he learn how to get under and catch a bomb in the past month , because he couldn’t do it before ?

The great Russell "Spider" "Flight" Mullins has passed away.
A sad day for any Magpie that had the pleasure of sitting on the Lidcombe hill watching Russell fly through the air to take a short kick off and score the winning try.

R.I.P Russell.

Thanks champion @Ron Brodrick's Spirit for this sad news.
Remember those fab/fun Lidcombe days, Mullins scoring heaps out on the wing, flying high to take marks, dependable and exciting to watch.
RIP Russell.

Sloan on a low end Top 30, or development deal/KOE deal- perfect player to have in KOE.

There is talent there. Just can't invest great dollars into it.

He'd be a player Bellamy would build into a top flight winger. It reminds me of Korobeite and JAC at WTs.

 

[Tito Santana]

It’s sounds like he’s swallowed a bucket of gravel and been punched in the throat.

100%.

Made up voice you think?

He is supposedly on $500k next season .., so I think you can bin the development idea… that money is too rich for my blood although maybe you could consider it depending on how much the Drags are putting in…

I like him as a FB … hate him as a winger … so I hope he would be satisfied playing KOE behind Bula … not a great way to get his next contract though

Would love to have him here filling in the next month though at FB

I’d be buying Sloan and Junior Tupou for around $250k a season each.

They both have raw athleticism.

Both are head of the likes of Staines, Naden, Feledy etc

Junior will need to learn to catch but i think Sloane could fit right in with Benjiball.

Only problem is they are both on contracts next year for good money (and Tupou still has 3 years to run on his). You can’t renegotiate for less time or money. Only way you save is if their existing club offers to pay a % but in Tupou’s case you have to take on the 3 years.
