Law of Unforseen conseguences

Don't be such a covfefe.

I'm not saying anything in case "conseguences" is actually a word!

Haha I was waiting for that.

Is the bones of what I feel is a Premiership team. Our forwards are probably one marquee short (2 if Thompson leaves).

I wish we hadn't lost Tom Amone last/this year, I think he would have thrived under Des.
Made the NSW Cup TOTW a few times already this year and made the NSW residence team but I think he will struggle to get a game with the bunnies this year.

I have No Idea ....

But they do.

 

[Top End Eagle]

Leave your busy little heads be. It will work out. The team is playing like a manly team that means whoever comes in will do the job. The eagles are flying again feathered friends. We have the talent in the juniors and the heart in the turbos. The brains in the captain and coaches and the muscle in the front row. It will work out. Number nine is looking fine.

Like most I love Parker these days but if we need cap space I’d be prepared to let him go and sign Latrell Mitchell in his spot. That should free up enough coin to have a good crack at Ponga when he gets homesick from being away from the northern beaches - even though he’s never lived on the northern beaches.

Anyone for golf?

No mate.

His contract kicked off in 2016 and is for 6 years with a 2 year option. (8 in total obviously)

This is year 4 of the deal, so 4 years maximum left.

Don't forget the random 'free of Cap Testimonial' precedent that Chez can enjoy like sCam has as a 1 team player

I still think we need an experienced prop.

AFB's luck with injuries and suspensions means we need to carry another monster.

If Trex ever wanted to realize his potential, 2019 would be a good year to repay Des' faith in him
On his day he can run and pass but his lax attitude was a nightmare to witness 😎

My meaning was that DCE is 30. if he plays until he is 36 like Cronk we will have him for 6 more years ..... thinking of his age only ... not his contract status ....

Two players who will come into the calculation next year will be Schuster and maybe Ben Trbojevic. Its known that Des has been spending some time with young Schuster and you can be sure with a kid with that kind of talent, he'll will be somewhere in the team next year, possibly starting on the bench, but maybe at No 6 later in the year. Ben T. has shown he is quite effective in the forwards and back, possibly another Menzies type. May take him a little longer to force his way into the side but by years end (2020) I think he'll be somewhere.

 

[Woodsie]

Why do we need to buy a marquee player. Everyone's saying we must have a marquee player.... I don't get it when we have some of the best juniors in the comp coming through. Reward these hungry youthful guys and we'll reep what we sow. Ponga is a classic example and also the young 17 year old the Rorters are trying to stich up.

My only reason would be time ... I am getting old and I am not prepared to wait until Hoppa Jnr, Shuster and Burbo are old enough to give us our next premiership ...

PSS ... and I have a feeling Dessie ain't prepared to sit around and wait for the eggs to hatch either .....

 

[Woodsie]

Jeeze if you only regard his debut Cust would be second behind only DCE.

Yeah but ... is Cust a good 5/8 or just a halfback ?? ... I don't know ... but if DCE is here for x more years ..... then whoever is the better foil for him will get the inside running .... Cust, LG, Metcalf or Croker ..?? ... I don't know, just saying the decision may be made considering several factors ...

 

[Loobs]

If we can't keep Api or Fainu because they both want the minutes, is it worth getting Buhrer back as a #14?

Hr may well play until he is 36....doesn't mean it will be with us

If he he’s fit to go on for another six years... happy days.

Definitely. He is completely wasted at Newcastle and it's a shame.

 

[Manly To Win!]

It'll be interesting to see what they do with Walker

CHASing Arrow according to triple m.

 

[manlywarringah]

PSSS ..... remember we may have DCE for another 6 years .....

Thank god we signed him up to that long deal after all.

So many clubs are desperate for a top line half and if he was on a regular deal that ended over this year or next, I believe either the broncos, cowboys, Melbourne, roosters or warriors would put in a massive offer for him.

I think out of those teams, the broncos would’ve been an attraction for him.

I was always glad to have him on that long contract but after the last year or so, seeing the lack of quality halves on the market, I’m so glad we locked him up.

I barely ever agree with you, Ryan. But I do this time. @Woodise if you think we can win a premiership with Parker and Croker in the side you are a complete Muppet. At full strength, even though they are playing well, Parker and Croker are the weak links.

Buhrer is past it unfortunately
