Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Maybe so but the fact is it is skewed the other way.
Not too different in league history too with, obviously, some outstanding exceptions.
Possibly more so that size determines their best positions at junior level.

That’s nonsense bro ! The best halves of the last 10 years all have a dash of either Koori or islander/ Māori blood .
I’d go so far as to even say there’s very few who doesn’t . I can only think of Cleary and Moses and Munster , with the Cleary having roots in Ukraine , and Moses being obviously Lebanese .
It’s simply an opportunity falacy. They weren’t given the opportunity because of prejudice , which then justifies the prejudice because there’s no halves given the opportunity .
Personally I couldn’t give a shit . Best player wins , I could care less about skin pigmentation , and the only thing that really matters is upbringing, and what effects that will have. Obviously if your kissed in the dick by having a last name of Cleary , your coming from the best grounding you could have , if your coming from a broken home in the middle of nowhere , not soo much .
That post was in relation to that dickhead from NQ and his obvious redneck undertones to most things he writes .

Well, I did say there were exceptions.
My point in saying size is a major factor in positions in junior footy is that big guys are usually put in the forwards.

Keppie is purely speculation based on a report about Souths potentially moving him on.

He's not a great player.

But he is a massive unit. With over 100 games at NRL level. Who averages 85m a game.

Taller than all but Sam Fainu, bigger than all but Royce Hunt. In a team that gets bullied far too often.

If he was a part of our forward mix, I'm ok with it. A few intimidating big bodies in the squad just makes the opposition defence take a peek.

He's a sloth tho. No point being big if there's no power, agility, athleticism or dynamism. You end up with the last 6 seasons of Aaron Woods
 
What about Jesse Ramien from the Cronulla Gummies .. apparently he is on the squeeze out of the Sharks due to salary cap restrictions at the club. He is currently on 600K at the Sharks .. we take him for 300 and Sharks pay the other half .. ?? Y/N .. ??

No manager will send a topline centre like Ramien to the Wests Tigers when we have May & Makasini as our projected long-term options and Starford on a multi-year deal. There is no guaranteed start.
