Player movements and rumours

Discussion in 'The Cesspit: Rugby League Discussion' started by Julian, Apr 7, 2009.

  1. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    I hear you Lukic.

    But Warriors are based in New Zealand. All these Australians don't mind Aotearoa but it isn't home. So we are having trouble getting any Aussie to come to NZ unless he has a problem with his resume.
     
  2. Phlegm SP Phlegm

    the warriors can't sign anyone because we're terrible and players get worse when they're here

    even solomone kata improved at the storm and he was a hack. fuckin hilarious the wallabies are looking at him.
     
  3. Magic AJ Parker

    He's a good risk IMO. He's been in a Robinson set-up before and played/trained with a significant part of the squad so he's got a good head start.

    If he flops and struggles to make it back to the standards of the NRL... then he chewed up some cap space we had sitting there from Latrell Mitchell's departure anyway.

    If he succeeds then he provides us with an impact forward who can hopefully create and offer something different in attack. Something none of our other forwards really offer since we lost Radley.

    Ok fair dues
    Your team has looked less deadly since Radleys injury
     
  5. Julian BJ Taylor

    Interesting that Kata improved at the Storm whilst never playing a game.
     
    Benny, Alex and Lukic like this.
  6. Julian BJ Taylor

    AWMagic. Of course SBW is worth the risk
     
  7. Julian BJ Taylor

    The only potential problem with CHN move for this year is that he’s probably very unfit at least not match fit anyway.
     
  8. Lukic L Popovic

    Has 10 weeks to get match fit tho. Even if he starts off playing 30 or so, come finals he'd be right. Lots of players have come into firsts this year without even playing reserves and have done ok, even when playing more minutes than expected.
     
  9. Phlegm SP Phlegm

    i swear he did because i remember seeing him play, do something actually good and spewing to my mates about it
     
  10. Cribbage RG Cribb

    He didn't.

    Maybe you saw him play for Tonga after he moved to the Storm. That happened.
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    Or Melbourne Rebels.
     
  12. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    How the hell do Rugby have so much money? Seems like the whole code is a non stop shambles in Australia and yet they can fork out a few million to throw at this super kid?
     
  13. morgieb MC Burridge

    Look at the sort of people who follow union in Australia and you'll get your answer.

    That and I think they're that desperate at getting a win over league they'll shoot themselves in the foot to do so.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    Massive signing for the Titans securing David Fifita.

    Along with Fotuaika and Tino they've got the bones of a beast forward pack.
     
  15. morgieb MC Burridge

    Curtis Scott linked to the Doggies.

    Julian to cum if true.
     
  16. Lukic L Popovic

    weird cunt
     
    Benny, Boobidy, Paddy and 1 other person like this.
  17. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Especially with Milton Ulladulla Bulldogs great Justin Holbrook at the helm! Goes to show how much attention I haven't been paying, didn't know he was Titans coach. Had a golden period where he captain coached and Brent Sherwins brother was 5/8th.

    When does Shannon Boyds contract end? Seems so many players head up there and switch off.
     
  18. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Read a couple of weeks ago that Shannon Boyd was considering retiring altogether.
     
  19. morgieb MC Burridge

    He got released today apparently. So did Cartwright.
     
  20. Magic AJ Parker

    Titans making the moves. Sounds like James will be let go too.

    I just worry that if they’re going to improve as a football side a lot of it is going to have to come from external recruitment. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of talent coming through their pathways.
