Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Cairnstigers]

With regards to replacing Corey for cover at fullback or wing, remember (at this stage) we have Momo coming back next year.

He can’t play for them against us, he hasn’t been named in the 21 for them, has been for us.

As the QLD boarders are closed it is the only way we can get him into QLD..so he will forget to catch the plane back..

Are we going to charge them the Air Fair

Imagine actually having an option on the last tackle to be able to kick to our wingers when in the opposition 20. We haven't had wingers capable of that for years, would be almost unheard of for us!

Once in a lifetime from Nofoluma
If he was capable of doing that a few times a year no one would be bagging him
He is certainly no Corey Oats when it comes to scoring tries like that
Some wingers seem to make those tries look easy

Once in a lifetime hey..here's 2019 efforts

I didn't say he couldn't score a try
I said Once in a lifetime referring to how spectacular that try was
It was his best try
He did some good things on other occasions but just not spectacular compared to many other wingers
IMO of course

There was no tries last year in which he gathered the ball from a kick to score, but maybe it is a game plan thing. I will say, that his try on the weekend when he broke the defence line from the drop out left me wide-eyed and incredulous - I couldn't believe it. I very much enjoyed that.

Leading try scorer Nofa is so far this year, someone said. Good on him.

Yes he did but it was his own kick
It would be nice to have a winger that can catch a cross field chip kick

Sorry yes that's what I meant. That little grubber he did though to score, that was all class, that was impressive. Maybe if we get a big tall unit on the other wing it'll take some emphasis off Nofa, as he does pretty well. He's definitely the better of our two wingers over the last few years, whoever is on the other wing.

Are spectacular one's worth more than 4 points..

No but if you can pull a ball in that is over the side line or the dead ball line but still in play and score or have they ability to score a try against all odds, then that to me is a bonus try and points we would not normally expect
That is a spectacular try to me
A try no one expects you to get
So to answer you ?
It's not worth more but it adds to the scoreboard
?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

we need cotrick next year

The Raiders have.made him their no 1 priority. He's a Cooma junior so he will stay.

 

[Fraze23]

I liked the look of Matheson Johns in the trials. It's a shame there is no reserve grade as it is really robbing some of these outside backs of a chance to earn selection. Brad Abbey is another one who I'd like to see having a run in reggies.

There was also another where he dived into the ingoal and caught a crossfield kick.

So are we looking at a degree of difficulty rating on tries now? I never like the Russian judges.

lol I thought that was a pass, and it floated a bit forward. Oh good, it was a kick. Better get my glasses.

If you head is lower than your feet when you plant the ball you get the super mario try X3 multiplier!

 

[supercoach]

The Titian’s have a winger they are not using that we tried to sign a year or so a go..Anthony Don. Fast, tall and very good under the high ball. Could there be a swap?

Is he any good? Of course he is, is Don is good!

 

[tigerbenji]

To be honest I would rather not lose Corey as he gives his 100% every week. But if he is to leave I wouldn't mind seeing us sign Uate and give him another go in the nrl.

How old is Mate?. Would be older then me, and I am 36. Lol.

 

[jrtiger]

I think we'd look to promote within with Kei or Johns potentially taking Thompson's place. other than that I can really only think of Parry potentially being signed, or Jason Saab, who for some reason can't make his way into the Dragons 17.
