My Simona

[MadMarcus]

Does my Simona have The Knack of playing centre?

I wonder if he's got more than one good hit?

 

[globaleagle]

He and young Harry aren't bad value though, fantastic to see such passion in kids so young, especially when there's so many other options pulling their strings these days.

cheese and crackers!

Anyway......

Simona would be good.

Forget Simona

There is a guy at Parra we should sign as he sounds like a real talent

Rising Eels star Clinton Gutherson is flying through pre-season, says Tim Mannah

CLINTON Gutherson was one of the Sea Eagles’ most promising prospects but his time at the northern beaches club was cruelled with serious injury.

At the Eels, the 22-year-old is a picture of health.

His transformation from broken and battered teenager into the leader of the pack on the training paddock is impressive.

Parramatta captain Tim Mannah says Gutherson has been training the house down and is head and shoulders above the rest in the fitness stakes.

“I think physically there’s the playing group and then there’s Clint, he’s in his own playing field,” Mannah said.

Fitness wise he’s a freak and he’s definitely been a standout.

“He is genetically gifted but he works really hard and he has worked really hard on his diet this year as well. And he’s put on a bit of size as well.”

Coach Brad Arthur was forced to turn to the dynamic backline star to help fill the huge gap in the halves left by Corey Norman and Kieran Foran at the back end of last season.

And despite being coined as a fullback and winger, Gutherson was a revelation in the number six jumper and now looks set to carve out a career at the Eels as a playmaker.

“He’s been training there [at five-eighth] and he’s been doing a really good job,” Mannah said.

“He had a really good season last year and Brad [Arthur] has put a lot of trust into him and the boys have a lot of trust in him.

NRL 2017: Wests Tigers outlay record $1.3 million deal for untried youngster Moses Suli
JANUARY 29, 20173:39PM

Moses Suli hasn’t finished an under-20s match for the club, but the young Wests Tigers centre is believed to have signed the most lucrative NRL deal for a player yet to appear in first grade.

The Tigers confirmed on Sunday that Suli, 18, signed a three-year extension to keep him at the joint venture until the end of the 2020 NRL season.

It’s believed the deal is worth up to $1.3 million, as the club was forced to fight off interest from a number of rivals.

Suli, who scored tries in each of his NYC matches against Canberra and Melbourne last year, has spent the summer training with the NRL squad where he has impressed coach Jason Taylor.

“We realised that he’s got something special in how he handled that experience,” Taylor said.

“We’re looking forward to having him in and around our NRL group over the next few years, because we know that everything he gains there will only help him further.”

An under-16 NSW Origin representative, Suli is 106kg and can play centre or wing.

However since becoming eligible for under-20s last June, he has been struck down by back injuries.

“I’m hoping to have a crack at first-grade as soon as possible,” Suli said.

“I only played a few games last year and then got injured, but I’m back in training now and it’s been great to be out there with the senior guys in training.”

Suli’s deal is believed to be worth more than the reported $900,000 offered to David Klemmer to stay at Canterbury days before he made his NRL debut in 2013.

$1.3 million for a player with zero first grade experience and who has played only 2 under 20's games.

Crazy. Absolutely bloody crazy.

 

[MadMarcus]

well...if tim mannah says so

Oh come on @globaleagle dont be so cynical. It's really unusual for a player to go out on a limb and say their teammate is training the house down in the preseason, so it must really mean a lot.

 

[double hoops]

First Naiqama now Simona. Tigers must have a reason to be shopping there outside backs around. Teddy be my guess. The dollars reported for this kid just can't be correct. Shirley!🙂

 

[nightster]

Do you think Simona is a one hit wonder?

maybe he'll be ok once he gets the knack of it
