I've seen him play possibly 20 odd times give or take (mostly live). Seem him on tele maybe 2-3 times. That said, he's gone, and who's here is here.
I'm going to stop banging on, now.....I feel physically and emotionally drained.

Where is your didnt make it narrative based on?
He was playing Juniors with the Roosters which only last the early part of the season then rugby with his school after.
He was Junior Blues camps in league and Junior Wallabies in Rugby.
Now I'm not saying he is a star or anything as I've not seen him play but but to say he failed at the Roosters and didnt make it in league is a misrepresentation.
I think your passion for Humphrey's is swaying you in this conversation.

Fair enough, you're probably right and I'm probably wrong bud. Same as everything probably.
There are those on here who bag us for recruiting from the Tigers as they are a bottom team. Now we are in awe of other clubs signing players from the Wallabies?????? Probably Australia's worst sporting team of the last 10 years!!! I give up!

Sorry mate, I shouldn't have posted that.
I think the reported 700K the Titans outplayed for Carter Gordon is a risk, his defence in the 15 man game is not the best, let alone being targeted week in week out in the 13 man game.
Walsh has youth on his side and having played league could convert easier than Gordon.
Looking forward to see how Walsh goes and hoping he smashes it and forces DCE to hooker 😂😂
Keep posting as you have, @Ryan. Just because you have a different perspective from others does not invalidate your views. For example, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on the Walsh signing. However, that doesn't mean my perspective is more valid than yours. Just do you, mate, and don't take this site so bloody seriously.
Hey I ain't proclaiming him the messiah, but he seems to be on rep selectors radars.
And regardless of the PR spin (and I agree the timing is funny) the fact he has a 3 year top 30 deal shows the club have plenty of faith.

How elite was he exactly? He hasn’t played first grade yet, so not that elite.
Your previous post said “Manly were filthy about it. They let him slip through their fingers. He wasn't left out by Siebold for ****s and giggles, put it that way.”
I’m interested in knowing how you are privy to the above?
Ryan
Journey Man
Hypothesis based upon his emission from the Bunnies game and Siebold's comments after. Like I say, I could be wrong man, about everything okay.

You implied in your post you know something.
You often do that.
Now you’re saying your claims are based purely on your own opinion?
Cool, now I know not to take you seriously.

I hope so Disco mate. Looking forward to seeing him play.

Sorry 47. Did you take me seriously previously ? I honestly think you'd take glee in watching me dissolve in a vat of acid to be fair.

Not having a go at anyone,but not sure he failed or was unwanted.
He helped take their Matt's side to second place as their 5/8 and was in the junior blues squad in 2022,he was still in their Matt's squad in 2023 but had a knee injury,coincidently their Matt's side was a failure in 2023.
He is then named captain of the U18 Wallabies side at flyhalf this year.
I have no idea why he did not play at the Roosters this year,he is a kid,maybe he decided to focus more on union(there is a big commitment to playing 2 elite sports),maybe the Roosters told him to chose one and he chose to focus on rugby and play closer to home on the northern beaches and it paid off for him.
Next year (and for the next 3) he has chosen to focus on league and bypass rugby(just like Koula and Weekes did)
We have a guy in Flegg(Carsen Patu) who did the same,was playing both but initially focussed on union,made the schoolboys side,but now wants to focus on league and has had a barnstorming year in our Flegg side.

Nah mate,you are just passionate about the club,you are probably a teensy weensy bit bipolar at times lol but your opinion is as valid as anyone's .
There is no guarantee he will be a success,a lot of talented juniors don't make it,you may end up being right.

I obviously need to change mate. Whatever I am , it's just not working. Not for me, not for anyone. It's just all a mess.

Bennett has been wrong about plenty.
