Isn't Widdop going to England?

The article is over 2 years old...hence forever linked to Dugan..

Ah, I see, sorry.

I'd rather not sign anybody than sign Dugan.

How can $1m be classified a ‘War Chest’ - we were willing to part with that for 1 player and now talk of shovelling it out for bogans like Dugan & Doueihi?
Sign BJ for sure then it’s Ado Carr at all costs for me, he offers speed and knows his way to the line.
I’d seriously turn off if I had to watch Dugan writhing on the ground in pain after each tackle then popping up to confirm the farce a minute later - just the site of those Tatts makes me vomit, skin the guy like a snake if we’re dumb enough to throw him a lifeline.
Dugan was also the instigator of “fullback money” when he was whinging and whining at the Dragons for more coin then ditched them when they didn’t relent.
I’m sick of the mention of “fullback money” on this forum, it makes you sound like a prodigy of Dugan and Buzz.

Dugan is a bogan for sure.
But Douhei? The guys family looks wealthy.
Nice home and they wear Gucci and nice clothes.
Doesnt look like a bogan at all.

Weird uninformed statement.

BJ and Brian To’o would be valuable pick ups, that is if JAC ends up at the Roosters!

2. David Nofoaluma
3. BJ Leilua
4. Talau
5. Brian To’o

Now that’s got some serious strength and some pace their too - To’o and Nofa are quite quick

For me Brian To’o is a Nofa clone, only younger.
Yes we need speed but also size on the flanks to impose ourselves on opposition. Unless you are talking JAC and good luck with that one.

Anyone know what penriths halves pairing is? Is that Burton kid getting a crack? Or are they staying with Luai?

Burton got jumped into the top 30.

Ivan might keep luai out so he doesn’t outshine his son. Penrith are a lot better team when luai plays he’s a top 5 off contract half after next season

Do we have room for BJ? If we have AD and Stef coming? It would be wise to leave that 30th spot open , unless of course we can move on some high priced non performers? imo.

Can alternate those 25-30 spots as the club sees fit.


Any news smoke?

Nothing new. Same same.

He looks mentally disabled.
Plays well though.

I like his game.
Cleary Jnr is a peasant to me.

Luai on 300k or nathan On 900k. Metrics don’t lie. Only salaries

Id take Luai on 500k.
Big future ahead, one would think.

Cleary is a constant under performer.

Interested to see what happens to that Burton, only played one game but looked the goods.

Skinny as. But yeah, looked great.
The ugly Liam fella at lock too looked good.
 
We could do a lot worse than recruit BJ Leilua to join his brother. Always looked to me to have a bit of Tuiaki about him. Big, aggressive and pretty quick for a man of his size. Can score and set up a try with the best of them on his day. Madge will ensure he's in top shape. I think we can live with the occasional penalties.

I think if he was any bigger then the 6'3 90kgs he is at 19 he probably wouldn't be considered a half lol

Maybe I misdirected the classification at Douhe.
If you’re stalking Douhe and his family and know how many times they each go to the toilet on a daily basis then I thank you for your insight and retract it but Dugan is definitely a bogan nevertheless.
 
Bronson Xerri should be our focus. We should throw the kitchen sink at him. Only just turned 19, now has 22 games experience and looks the goods with plenty of upside potential. imo

Scolari is better than brian toe.......

Yes he is and brings different skills to the game including being a lot faster than Too and Nofoloama.
 
On NITV at the moment there is a Underage Rugby game. The two wingers for Brighton look good. The 11 is ungainly but he is strong and is one of those runners who accelerates while stepping predominantly back in from the left wing. The right winger has a real turn of pace and looks a prospect. A couple of times he has caught his opponent out with his speed.
