    I really don't like Sione at fullback.
     
  2. Flack SA Flack

    A mere decade late.
     
  3. Benny BS Read

    Lol what? Best fullback/hooker when in his fit prime bout 5 yrs ago
     
  4. Flack SA Flack

    Are you saying he was the best fullback and hooker? Or the best fullback who could play hooker? The former is lies for sure, and the latter isn't even that impressive, because how many fullbacks played hooker...
     
  5. Lukic L Popovic

    There's centre/winger
    prop/lock
    five-eighth/halfback

    and of course, fullback/hooker
     
  6. Benny BS Read

    He played fullback in defence and hooker in attack for at least one season and was fucking epic doing so
     
  7. Benny BS Read

    I meant best as in gun not no.1 also
     
  8. Benny BS Read

    More pointing out that your statement of a decade late is a joke when he dominated at club level for the knights at stages within the last ten years fwiw

    I really hope that James Tamou doesn't get punted but is sold for next season. I think the Cows are a genuine chance this season and it's certainly not worth punting Tamou unless there's a gun SL player they want to sign before June 30.

    Yeah Tamou has asked about an early release to Canberra.

    What I think will happen is that it may be granted in a pretty much straight swap for David Shillington (also this season) who is massively on the outer at Canberra.
     
  11. Harry Sack SB Slippy

    Any idea about why? Seems to have been on the outer for ages.
     
  12. Julian BJ Taylor

    Stuart just makes his mind up about players/squad and sticks with it. TLL didn't play a game last when he definitely should have, for example. My guess is Stuart thinks Shillington has declined and isn't worth anywhere near as much as he's on and will command next season.

    Also I think the club sort of wanted to rid the club of the experienced blokes that have been entrenched in mediocrity for the past 6 or so seasons; Glenn Buttriss (won't be re-signed), Dane Tilse (has been moved on), David Shillington (on the outer), Josh McCrone (in reggies), TLL (moved on last year), Terry Campese (moved on last year) and Reece Robinson (moved on last year).

    They're not all shit players but clubs just have to move on sometimes.

    Yeah a clean out is needed from time to time, I think Penrith's two best years in the last decade have been on the back of fairly substantial clear outs.

    Macca re-signs till 2017, excellent news for the Broncos.
     
  15. Magic AJ Parker

    Unlucky.

    In more positive news Roosters re-signed Taukeiaho for another 2 years.
     
  16. Benny BS Read

    Darren Nicholls ----> Souths
     
  17. Old Mate M Perry

    :lol:!
     
  18. Lukic L Popovic

    Cherry Evans staying with Manly?

  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Sucks so much for the Titans, having let go of Sezer due to this. Maybe they'll be able to convince Sezer to stay now instead, but it puts them in a terrible position regardless.
