Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

RE: Rumoured Signings

Don't get me wrong I think he goes ok... I don't think he's anything special though.. just gets put up in a better light because someone with money is a fan of his. He barely offloads and when he does majority of the time it's not "decent" He does nothing more than what Tim Robinson, Vic Mauro etc could do at half the price

I am with Bennett u don't pay overs for front rowers

RE: Rumoured Signings

Agree to disagree then. Not sure on what evidence you are rating Robinson and Mauro to be in the same class as Snowden but needless to say I rate him a fair bit higher than that. Not sure if you want your props doing too many offloads. Look at David Shillington, priority no 1 for him now is to offload and his metres game has suffered big time. As I said previously, props who can play long stints are worth their weight in gold because they can save you an interchange or two and the Sharks have two good ones in that respect. I would have been more than happy to have either Douglas or Snowden with us.

Bennett setting limits on who gets what is a stunt. He'll pay overs if he wants the guy. 'Saint' Benny is not all what he seems.

Nutz can't have watched what Snowden did to us a few weeks back, 2 try assists in that game

Dunno about Nutz but Nut did. Do you reckon Snowden will make the Blues squad Kiwi? I reckon he's as good a chance as Mannah, Tolman, Kingy etc.

He's a cert. Played game 3 last year although he was a little disappointing but I'd say he's probably the first prop picked.

I don't think it is. It probably gives you a good insight into how he structures his team and what he wants each player to do. He doesn't necessarily need out of the box props with all the skills, he just wants workers. He doesn't want to spend too much on these other positions because he wants to save the coin for other positions. I find it fascinating he sticks to those rules and it seems part of the reason why he gets rid of players.

RE: Rumoured Signings

Daine Laurie oozes potential and is a human wrecking ball at his best. He must have off-field issues or be a lazy trainer or something. Would be a great pick-up if he could get his head right and playing hard.

he is a very very lazy trainer,goes missing a bit too

Yeah mate I think will be 1 of the front rowers, mannah will be there and kings form certainly has him in the mix again

RE: Rumoured Signings

I'm pretty sure Lewis is out for 5 or 6 weeks so he's no hope. LOL at Hindmarsh, didn't he retire from rep football last year.... not that he was any chance of getting picked.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

RE: Rumoured Signings

Hindmarsh played origin last year mate, and played well

 

[Chip and Chase]

RE: Rumoured Signings

I forgot they wheeled him out for another stint last year. Anyway I don't think Hindy is the answer to NSW moving forward.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

RE: Rumoured Signings

I would have agreed with you this time last year, but I now think he could provide a bit of value there, just for the unflashy clean up type of stuff

I watched him closely at Suncorp in Game 2 last season, and he was everywhere, even chopping down Slater who looked to be away for a try at 1 point

RE: Rumoured Signings

Channel 9 last night at the end of the coverage apparently said Hoppa will be re signed by end of next week - did anyone else hear that?

Bloody hell Wheel, I sure hope you are right.

Didn't hear the comment tho

 

[Blowfly]

RE: Rumoured Signings

I can definitely say Vossy DID say that about Hoppa.

Great news!
