Peta Hiku

[HoldenV8]

Why do I keep hearing rumours that Peta will sign with the Speels? I thought he wanted to play fullback......isn't that what they signed Gutho to do?

If he goes to St Merge then it would be a good bet that Mary would move Dugan to the centres and play Peta at FB.

Gordon may prefer to be in the halves again and they lost Robinson to RU.

Could be the Dalai love too

I forgot they also signed Michael Gordon and he's a noted goal kicker. They also signed him to play FB. Where will they end up playing Gutho? His options there are pretty much the same as they were at Manly. Wing, centre or NSW Cup.

Gordon has never been in the halves. Wing or fullback

Also, I thought the Eels were over the salary cap , but they keep spending?

Yes but the eels are not really signing any players to make us think wow. There just signing players.

Here is an interesting question - now the draw is out and it's **** - would you rather Matai or Hiku in the centres (seeing as durability will likely be a huge factor over those cluster periods)?

David Tyrell is a prop forward 6ft 3in @ 101kg and is lifted and thrown like a bag of sht by the most durable and devastating Kiwi back and it does not appear to look like Hiku

A big hit is all good and well @BOZO but can he play three games in ten days any more?

Did you just call Skivvy the most durable?

One big hit ? How many big hits have we seen from Matai and how many times have we seen him get up where others get carried off on a stretcher ?
I would rather be in the trenches and play along side Matai for three games in ten days than any other player .

Not disputing that. The issue is how much effort is it for him to get up for the next weekend? A lot of older guys skip sessions and so on when there is a week between games, so how will he handle the condensed schedule. That is a very legitimate question that they will need to ask because if he can't, they need back up plans...

Yes I did because when he is down he does not stay down . He gets up and keeps going like no one else feathered friend .

I have seen enough of Matai to suggest that he has the mental and physical toughness to endure more than most players

Speaking of Skivvy, is anyone wondering WTF is going on with Walker / Hiku, this seems to be really dragging out??

Now, back to Skivvy if you wish!

No news means that nothing has changed . Walker is coming and Hiku is looking for the right offer form the right club

Dugan has already declared that Mary will play him in the centres in 2016.

 

[brad]

Hope he hasn't gone walker bout.

Gordon is also an anagram for 'drongo'. Irreverent, but nonetheless somehow pertinent.

Matai 100%
His defence is 10x better than when Hiku is playing in the centres on the wing. During that time is when we will also need the guys who bleed maroon and white to stand up, and matai is one of them.
