The Book of Albert

[Disco]

Totally agree on Des, recruitment, and absolutely sticking with Hopoate. Kinda disagree on The Tigers part.

If they get Josh Addo-Carr, their backline will have:

01. Josh Addo-Carr (heads of agreement signed)
02. David Nofoaluma (one of the top NRL try scorers)
03. Moses Mbye (moved from fullback, great passer)
04. BJ Leilua (at his best, is explosive and aggressive)
05. Adam Doueihi (another fullback, but coming very good)
06. Josh Reynolds (when given opportunity, excelled towards the end)
07. Luke Brooks (pretty consistent)

Our best backline (as it stands). People are just assuming Des will drop players like Taufua (Barrett was the only one ever to do that), and Parker. I actually don't see it happening.

01. Tom Trbojevic (better than JAC)
02. Jorge Taufua (should be playing reggies now)
03. Brad Parker (He went backwards last season, great the season before)
04. Moses Suli (So hot and..hmmm...disappeared - like Manu Vatuvei)
05. Reuben Garrick (Great debut year, awful 2nd, can rebound)
06. Dylan Walker (Needs game time, will he be sacked?)
07. Daly Cherry-Evans (Needs a consistent running 6)

Mix the two, my team would be:

01. Tom Trbojevic
02. David Nofoaluma
03. Moses Mby
04. BJ Leilua
05. Adam Doueihi
06. Dylan Walker
07. 50 / 50 (I hate DCE's sidewards pirouette game under Des)

Hahahaha BJ Leilua

One of my closest mates is a mad Tigers fan and I text him to mix his backline and he went

1.Turbo
2.Nofo
3.Mbye
4.Suli
5.Garrick
6.Walker
7.DCE

Just shows fans are generally harsher on their own players and often see the grass as greener with other clubs

Sorry mate but putting DCE on the same level of Luke Brooks is a bit of a joke

Suli is also far better than Moses Mbye. Mbye sucks.

Combining:
1. Tom 2. Nofa 2. Suli 4. Walker / Leilua 5. Douehi 6. Schuster 7. DCE

So they have all signed with the Saints? The sign says so. I prefer the "Previous Saints" over the "Latter Day Saints", they were way more successful than the recent choking version.

That’s Lehi Hopoate. Plays fullback for Manly’s Harold Matt’s team. But yes the pants are shocking.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]
