Zorba this morning

[Briza]

One more gun prop and our forward pack is deadly, as most of us agree when Marty and afb are both off we struggle.

Paseka would be expected to be in the top 17 somewhere. Not too sure if Waddell has been that impressive in pre season preparation from one report ..

 

[ALinda]

Went to training with the bomb thrower last week;

Pardon my ignorance...who's the bomb thrower

 

[Sheikheagle]

I am concerned for the blood pressure of fellow Silvertail @Ryan ..... for the sake of his health can we please, please pretend that Dessie has signed an English International centre ......

Surely the news on Garrick and Hoppa is as good as an Aspro for Ryan?

That was my first thought hahaha. We have a white hot forward pack, that full strength has 0 holes, with quality backup. Spending coin on another forward? I could only think there's a possibility we may be releasing one, or two?

08. Marty Taupau
09. Apisai Koroisou
10. Addin Fonua-Blake
11. Joel Thompson
12. Curtis Sironen
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Manase Fainu
15. Kelepi Tanginoa
16. Taniela Paseka
17. Corey Waddell

18. Lloyd Perrett
19. Tof Sipley
20. Sean Keppie
22. Jack Gosweiski
23. Frank Winterstein

Lots of depth. Lots of options. Lots of competition for spots. Don't see where the Englishman fits apart from maybe the 17, pushing Waddell to Blacktown (who should have an amazing team!)

Blacktown may have:

01. Albert Hopoate
02. Brendan Elliott
03. Tevita Funa
04. Reuben Garrick
05. Brad Parker
06. Lachlan Croker
07. Trent Hodkinson

[KNUCKLES]

current squad
Prop George Burgess
Prop Tom Burgess
Prop James Graham
Prop Chris Hill
Prop Luke Thompson
Hooker Daryl Clark
Hooker Josh Hodgson
Lock Adam Milner
Second-row John Bateman
Second-row Joe Greenwood
Second-row Elliott Whitehead
Lock Adam Milner

So the only players not at an NRL club currently are luke thompson, Alex walmsley, Chris hill and Adam Milner. Could we throw Percival and currie into the equation. Have they represented England? Do we know if it's a current international? Either walmsley or thompson woukd be outstanding.. the rest meh

 

[brad]

Still need a Centre , winger and frontrower ( classy ) if we are to compete with top 4 .Still happy after the last 3 ****ful years

 

[Chip and Chase]

A signing would be welcome news. Let's hope he is more Kevin Ward then Hugh Waddell, whoever he may be.

Did Hoppa break Croker's 2km time trial record from last season ?? Good to see he is the anointed one to be deemed to be "training the house down"

 

[cherry_poppins]

Don't know how much stock I'd put into a rabid dog who led us to Barrett by knifing our club's biggest legend in the ****ing back so I'd suggest to not get too excited just yet

That fullstrength starting forward pack was the same pack we had last year lol . I know Sironon got injured and Ali late in the year but we had that pack for a few weeks in the early stages.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Walmsley would be a great get from what I’ve seen, but do we have the money??

I sorta think we do as we’ve lost a fair few and are no longer paying the Poo man a lets face it the signings to date haven’t been exactly “ exciting”.

Bring it on Lyall, make our day!!

What’s the radio station called?

[HoldenV8]

I have thought Suli was 300/1 against playing centre this year ..... always had him pencilled in as a powerhouse winger .... good to hear Garrick is showing some form .....

I wouldn't argue with having Suli on the wing, if that is the way Des goes. If he is, hopefully he'll be playing alongside Walker. Those two on the right are a better prospect than having Bumble and Stumble Parker in there somewhere.....

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Went to training with the bomb thrower last week;

• Team is much fitter, will be a lot better than last year. Des has put the Manly back in Manly
• Albert hoppa breaking club training records
• Reub Garrick to grab centre spot very fast
• Marty fit and happy, loving Des as coach
• A new signing/ English forward no name given

Sorry if I missed something - but did he say a Pommie international forward or just Pommie forward - big difference?

Any idea what point it is at?? Just skimmed for 10 mins and got nothing
