I don’t get the interest people have in DWZ.

His form has dipped quite a bit in the last 12 months, but that could be a lot to do with the environment he is in. Before that he was a very good player, an international and way better than his brother. I reckon he will come good in a happier environment, he still has loads of talent.

Irks me that Parra will sign him. Like what the hell? How many fullbacks, wingers and centres do they need? They certainly aren’t short on talent in those positions already. It’s a signing that makes no sense to me, DWZ would be more useful to us for sure.

@Newtown
a bit

A lot!

I reckon Madge would like nothing more right now than for his current team to beat his former team and the club who sacked him, especially with them going so well at the moment. They must be due for a loss surely.

Poison them!

so with cronk finishing up,i wonder who the roosters are going to poach to play halfback?

Moses has to be a chance.

That would be a huge come down in quality.

I was chatting with my brothers the other day, and they were laughing their asses off when I said “Ryan Matterson will play origin as a utility player one day”. So much to the point that they said I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about and they were willing to take any wager I wanted to offer.

I see so much quality in this guy and I think he will be a future superstar. Am I a biased tigers fan or is this guy the real deal? I’ve been impressed with him even when he was at the roosters. His ability to be a “Mr Fix-It” when needed really stands out.

I found this video from Fittler speaking the other week and he seems to be thinking the same thing.

Certainly not impossible, however I think his chances of playing Origin would’ve been better if he’d stayed a Rooster. There are too many good backrowers running around at present, though his ability to fill in at 5/8 and centre might put him in good stead. Who knows?

I could understand this logic if we were a bottom 4 side because selectors don’t really pay attention to teams that low on the ladder. They do notice teams in the 8 though, which we are.

Yes true, though I still think there is a plethora of very good back rowers around at the moment, who just happen to be playing in the teams above us, so the competition is very stiff. If he was playing in a position that was a bit lighter on for talent and experience, he’d be a shoe in I reckon.

I believe he will get there one day, maybe not this year, but then again anything is possible. Mind you, I’d rather he was playing with us during the Origin period in any case

@Russell geez , you must have a happy life ! Seriously , you guys are the worst fans . I’m passionate too , but you guys are just disloyal and lack conviction. I would hate to have been in a trench with you mate . Say something constructive for gods sake

You do realise that Russell actually agreed with you don’t you?

@Balmain_Boy

Palmer won? I thought he got rolled?

@Spud_Murphy Please feel free to name the players on the non midget list available to come to the club that you have pencilled in .

I haven’t penciled anyone in, I just stated what I thought we need to best improve our roster.

Bevan French ? Has speed to burn and wants out of the eels before June 30 , apparently has been playing well in ISP and has a lot of NRL experience … never been a fav of mine but maybe Madge could turn his career around as OP has eluded to the team needs speed and realistically would not cost the earth probably worth a look.

Only thing is he’s a midget… We want size AND speed too

Yes we already have enough midgets. Tall, fast, long striding is what we want - just one will do! Someone to chuck the ball to when we make a break that won’t get run down by second rowers. One player like that would make a world of difference to this team.
