Brenton lawrence

Rumour is Rose might be headiing your way as well to join his fellow fatties in Idris and Taylor.

Cartright's game plan for 2013 is for push over tries anywhere inside the opposition 20 metres line

Truth be told rose is probably substantially fitter than you will ever be you clown.

 

[MadMarcus]

Rumour that Sandow is coming to the Titans. Geezus Christ this should be fun...

The pay packet is less but the casino is better, so he is leaning towards taking it.

Look for him to return to Sydney when Packer builds his new casino.

That's a very average comment regarding not only a current Manly player, but a genuinely good bloke.

 

[Darren]

What, George fat? No way, fancy saying that about a beloved Manly player. You should be banned.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Not sure anyone with a weight issue likes to be called a fatty!

 

[Matabele]

The Titans must be lining up a big signing to be letting all these players go. Do you think maybe they're going after Thurston for 2014?

It has been rumoured that Titans are clearing the table. 3 players gone in the space of one day. Something is definitely happening behind the scenes.

At this moment we are rumoured to be chasing Hodkinson, Sam Williams and Josh Reynolds. And also it also has been confirmed that another 2 more players want to leave the Titans. One of them have been rumoured to be Beau Henry.

Everything seems to be so rushed atm. I dont know if Thurston would be a good signing considering his age. Personally i think its time to blood a young halves combo for the future (ie Kelly, Parker Walshe etc.) but the prospect of Thurston coming to the Titans excites me. Could single handedly take the Titans to a semi finals appearance.

Could it be they are signing folau?

More likely the Titans are broke.

NRL Sea Eagles: Dark horse Brenton Lawrence sets the early pace at training
RUGBY LEAGUE
9 JAN 13 @ 01:47PM BY JON GEDDES


New Sea Eagles signing Brenton Lawrence training in the heat on Tuesday
AN unheralded 28-year-old forward who moved from the Gold Coast looking for an opportunity has emerged as a "smokey" for the Sea Eagles this NRL season.

Powerhouse prop Brenton Lawrence has shown he means business with his efforts during the club's tough pre-season training.

"Brenton Lawrence, for a big man he moves exceptionally well," said Sea Eagles speed coach Rubin Ruzicka.

The former Aussie Schoolboy lobbed at the beaches with no fanfare on a three-year deal after stints in Canberra and the Titans.

Sea Eagles coach Geoff Toovey said the club was looking for some more depth in the front row while Lawrence was searching for a starting role.

"I think they are a bit blessed up there at the Titans with frontrowers so he came down here to try and crack a full-time position in the side," he said.

"He is an impressive athlete and has been training the house down. I think he is going to have an impact this year with the team."

The start of the season can't come soon enough for Lawrence in his quest to play regular first grade.

"And to be honest that is from round one. I feel I am healthy and ready to go," Lawrence said.

"I'm looking forward to these trial games and having a good hit out with the boys and getting to know how they work together.

"So far everything has been going really well and I can't see why I wouldn't slot in comfortably."

Lawrence said the move to the peninsula has rejuvenated him.

"There are new opportunities here so you don't want to be slacking off," he said.

"You want to be your best and let the boys know you are capable."

Lawrence was signed by the Raiders aged 17. He played Jersey Flegg and in their Premier League side.

He then spent two years with the Titans where he made his NRL debut before his arrival at Manly.

In his short time at the Sea Eagles, Lawrence already appreciates the tight bond for which the club is renowned.

"Everyone is really close and helps you out with whatever you are doing at training on and off the field," he said.

Sounds like BJ (apparently that is his nickname) will give it his all at Manly

That's definitely what you want to hear from a new signing. He's a great chance of getting some time in first grade with that attitude.

 

[Darren]

Will be an awesome signing if he does well. 3 years is a smart move as if he kicks on we keep him (or top up) so great signing for depth (or even better the top 17) His speed will be happily taken.

 

[Frank]

Will be an awesome signing if he does well.

And would be a bad signing if he doesn't go well.

 

[MWSE]

I hope this guy succeeds with us. I like his style of play. Too many hulking unfit forwards that expect a walk up start in the big leagues in the modern game. By all accounts his work ethic and desire is to be admired.

 

[Titans Fan]

A good player

 

[Brookvale]

One of the fittest forwards around. Been killing it in the beep tests.

 

[Masked Eagle]

Don't want to pat myself on the back, but I said in a few threads last year that Lawrence is someone who I think would be a great fit for us, (well before he signed on). So far, so good.

 

[Rex]

Didn't want to but you felt compelled?

 

[globaleagle]

compelled's such a tart.

 

[Masked Eagle]

Didn't want to but you felt compelled?

Wait to see if he goes alright. Then watch me go!

 

[MWSE]

It was well reported how 2V wasn't happy with Gorgeous Georges fitness last year. Now we bring in someone like Lawrence. Can't help but feel that 2V is more interested on a mobile, fit forward pack (similar to NSW in SOO), rather than a large impact pack. Could spell the end of some of our lumbering forwards who are off contract at the end of the year.
