right we have a lot of forwards, but not quality too,much dead wood.

Really?

Excluding hooker I really only see Jetski as deadwood?

Waddell is no world beater but fine as a depth forward. Boyle probably similar. Wouldn't be against either staying or moving on.

Jake, Addin and Marty are top tier.

Sirro is very good IMO

Paseka, Keppie, Ulakua'Atu all look to have great potential

I think out pack is grand, could possibly do with an extra edge backrower

 

[madmax]

What, does DESpicable miss three-quarters of the matches too?

So you prefer an old crock to Walker...Why not get rid of Tom instead? He spends even less time on the field!

 

[frank stokes]

I do enjoy how some people on here seem to think we could afford Stags..

Maybe we could have at the start of the season but he is above our pay grade now I reckon... we would be better off focusing on developing outside backs that we have - Harper, Burbo, Funa, Hoppa, Schuster (or as lock), Tokoula and aim to bring in a quality 6 if we have any funds... our kicking game HAS to improve because we cannot score from it and our end of set kicks are weak as p*ss and rarely win us the battle for field position or even find touch in good position... Cust to 9 or 14 for mine...

I think Cust could develop into a good nine. Or a good 6 with some more tweaks and responsiblity. Just needs to learn when to run, pass or kick a bit better, but out of dummy half he could be good.
The storm have such an advantage having a 80min half who kicks.

No, that's where you are wrong.
Stats given by one poster show that Walker misses 36% of matches, and Turbo 30%.
Plus the fact that I have never been a Walker fan. IMO he he overrated.

Watching the interview with Foran he didn't seem like he was going to be at dogs next year

please tell me he didn't seem like he was going to be at Manly either...

actually, you know what, at this point idc cause we are not going to be worse and if he sits on the sidelines then he will fit in well with the rest of our squad...

If only we hadn't of given contracts to taufua, gosiewski, and suli...

To be fair we have to fill 30 spots as well which is the balance. With DCE, the turbos etc we are not in a position to sign a high profile 3/4 who will want 700/800k min

 

[Cliffymagic]

We sign Foran on a back ended 3 year contract. End of next year we medically retire him. Freeing up 1.2 million in cap space ala the roosters !

Only problem with that is all his possible medical retirement injuries pre-exist.

We all have our favourite players.....Walker is one of mine & I don’t think he’s overrated at all. I’d like him to have an injury free season to show how good he actually is.....anyway each to their own.

I dont get people saying walker is overrated.. he is a great player not his fault he has been shifted to 6. T.baz ****ed us badly by letting green go for pearce who laughed at us and reneged or whatever he did. If we gave green the contract he deserved then walker would still be a center. Des tried and it was working and building until.... such bad luck this year with injuries. 2 of our spine players in 1 match fmd!

@Mods - why hasn’t tHis being combined into the Kieran Forum thread??

Surely this is worthy!!

 

[The better Robbo]

Link to the interview please.

Was watching Foxtel. He scratched his head and looked down at the ground and was basically saying I dunno what's gonna happen but if im not here next year then I just wanna try and finish off the year strong.
Im no expert on body language but from his reaction it seemed he already knew where he was going to be

I don't have a link. I seen it on Foxtel. After seeing the interview I would be very surprised if he was a dog next year

You say that like he hasn't already been here 5 years for all of us to form an opinion on him...

Each to their own though

He'd be great for us next year while we are without (that hooker guy who has to go to court)
Sign him for 2 years, a Des and Manly reunion kiss'n'makeup fairytale.
Let's face it, without a gun 5/8, we aint winning no grand final with Levi as hooker.
And we want to win, don't we?
