    Dogs are sniffing

    Pun is unintentional. Although a good one if I say so myself.

    I've seen Laurie Daley popping up a bit seeming fairly convinced that Pearce will be back at Roosters.

    Doesn't really make sense. Honestly the Benji for 2021 and blood Walker/Lam makes the most sense, but as much as Flanagan's probably not that good, it's still a massive slap in the face for him.

    They want to win more premierships with this aging team, not build for later ones, so they would definitely gun for Pearce if they could get him and aim for another 2 yrs at title contention. Getting Benji as a stopgap seems a waste of time imo, they won't win the comp with him so may as well put Walker straight in instead.

    Benji's on rented time.
    He'll be 36 next season.
    Kearney had it in for him and the Kiwis didn't pick for 5 years straight even when our halves stocks were decimated by injury. Finally madge picked him last year for New Zealand. Tears streamed down Benji's face as he wore the black and white last year during the anthem. Very moving moment.
    What an honour it must be to represent your country in your sport.

    Perfect for those old man hamstrings.
     
  11. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Not to mention all that front on defence for his dodgy shoulders.

    That has to be the oddest move of all-time. Might as well have just kept Levi given that.

    More and more talk around Mansour leaving Penrith.

    rumour Warriors have signed Sean O'Sullivan from Broncos. Is he is any good.
     
  15. Magic AJ Parker

    Wouldn’t surprise, he’s Peter O’sullivan’s son and used to play for the Roosters so right in line with the Warriors recruitment of late.

    I like him, he’s a left footed kicker with a decent kicking game. Seems to be able to read the game really well and has a decent running game. Unfortunately injuries seemed to hamper his 2 years up in Brisbane but in the games he did get he looked pretty good for a young half in a woeful side.

    Thanks Magic :)
     
  17. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    SOS is pretty good with ball in hand. Horrible without it
     
  18. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I think this makes him out to be a better playmaker than is, who only isn't playing because of his defence.

    I think this is generous in some ways.

    For someone his age he's way ahead of the curve in organisation and long kicking. His ball playing sucks though which is a massive problem, as does his short kicking and yeah his defence, but most clubs don't expect their young young halves to be gun defenders. This is a Brisbane/Wests thing at the moment almost exclusively tbh.
     
  19. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Sure he has youth, but the cunt has had about 4 ACL injuries. I don't think he is going to turn out to be much.
     
  20. Magic AJ Parker

    Panthers punting Mansour. Would be a good pick up for quite a few clubs.

    Never the most athletic bloke and at 30yrs old there will be a natural drop off over the coming years but still better than a lot of wingers currently getting a gig in First Grade.
