Yeah. Pattie in Flegg and Brophy in Colts also looked really good when I watched them and I know GE rates them highly as well, who has seen a lot more of them. Brophy is playing for NSW country under 18s on nswrltv this weekend if you wanted to watch him. There’s also the 2022 QLD under 19’s hooker ...

NoMan

That would be an odd signing, they have 3 really good ones from 18-20 already.

NoMan

Nice! That’s great news.

NoMan

Do I detect a hint of salt in that Rorters press release?

NoMan

Titans should’ve moved on from him I reckon. The bloke will be out fielding offers again in November.

NoMan

What a clown show.

NoMan

Sounds like another Art Dealer situation.

tbh I hope he goes to the Roosters just for the farce of it.

NoMan

Just make him a permanent employee, it would be cheaper.

NoMan

Isaiah Papali'i isnt a bad call. He is a quality player and I was surprised he is only 25, feels like he has been around forever. I'm not sure he is the good enough to sign early and hope he can force a release though, they'd have to be sure of it. Plus it won't be the Raiders without a Papa in the ...

NoMan

Well Asi is back in this week, so I guess there's no reason they'd wait on Moses returning now.

NoMan

No fullback named in NSW cup. Maybe Chevy is having an extended rest.

NoMan

I don't reckon you'll hear about it until Moses is back.

NoMan

Unless the business associate and the club figure left a paper trail the NRL won't be able to do much. I mean players could sign two contracts and still plead ignorance. I'm not sure what the NRL has to do with it though unless someone is claiming there was a cap breach. They aren't party to the agr...

NoMan

I guess it doesn't hurt to ask but Crichton has said his priority is Union, then a team that can win a comp soon. Money less of a factor. So it's very long odds of a move to Canberra unless none of the top teams are interested.

NoMan

I wasn't suggesting it's that simple to just replicate penrith, moreso that we need to pipeline and prioririse our pathways and development Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk Have a listen to this series, this is what they are doing already. It's quite reassuring in a way to hear the details. POD...

NoMan

Look at Penrith, work hard on your pathways and recruit where you need to or get an opportunity to Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk The Penrith catchment has had thousands of Polynesians move into the region in the last few decades. They’re a wonderfully athletic people who physically built for...

NoMan

Looked more like a shoulder. If it is the same shoulder... it'll be tough to come back again. :nooo :nooo Has he done his shoulder before? Seems it was his bicep last time. It was his pec. Looked like a shoulder the way they put his arm in a sling, but I’m no medical expert. I meant at the Raiders....

NoMan

Yeah, it's actually crazy if you look at how they manage to lose basically nobody decent to another NRL team. Latrell and RTS are the two in NRL history. It's almost like there is an unwritten rule from Uncle Nick that if you want to keep your Roosters privilege's you either retire or leave the code...

NoMan

Fingers crossed for HSS. It will be terrible if he has done the pec again.

NoMan

Ironically I think they just don't have the cattle.

NoMan

Good luck to him, he wasn't getting chances at the Raiders. I must admit I was constantly confusing him with Loghan Lewis (possibly not the only one in this case), and I am glad that he is still at the club.

Looks like James and Numambo are doing pretty well up there.

NoMan

I agree with the sentiment, but the Roosters weren't in the hunt when the Raiders were chasing him (as far as we know). The Raiders lost out to the Titans twice and had given up by the third time. I doubt it had anything to do with Ricky though, given Fifita just turned down the best club side in NR...

NoMan

10 years is a long time, you take it back that far and the Raiders have signed Hodgo, Whitehead, CNK, Smithies, Williams, Sezer, Fog, Tapine, Cotric, BJ, Paulo, Raps in that time, plus a heap of decent squad players like Havilli and Lui. I'd only really swap the Roosters for the Raiders list given w...

NoMan

Most of the Dogs and Wests signings don't want to leave Western Sydney and they basically have used Penrith as a feeder club for the better signings. There just seems to be less and less established players willing to move away from friends and family, which makes it a tough market for regional club...

NoMan

I don’t know if criticism is over the top, but most of it is just unfounded.

I will say Blaize did much look better at fullback but he hasn’t shown much in NSW cup and playing half and center in the NRL. He is very rocks and diamonds when I’ve watched him.

NoMan

Roosters will make enquiries for Walsh before anyone else. He hasn't signed his extension yet.

NoMan

Haha I’m cynical like Colk. It’s probably not a healthy mindset or attitude to have, but I guess the difference is thinking all the juniors are overrated and then being pleasantly surprised when a couple prove you wrong feels better than thinking all the juniors are going to be rep quality elite pl...

The life after footy bit? They've done it for years already.

Imagine what billionaires can offer Fifita off the record compared to what Don and Ricky can do.

For the Roosters, yeah.

NoMan

They aren't signing a 27 year old with 5 NRL games over the top of Chevy. It's him or bust.

NoMan

There's a few of the Colts lining up for the NSWRL City v Country Under 17s and 18s games Saturday week at 12.35pm. It's televised on NSWRL TV.

NoMan

He has been fine defensively but really Trev isn’t playing enough minutes to know how he is going.

NoMan

Yeah it works in the US because there’s no external competition for players. The NBA even had to change the rules to force players to effectively go to college or a pro-league for a year because more and more skipped it. AFL and NRL are in the same boat. You might lose the occasional Suaalii to Unio...

NoMan

In the minds of young footballers, yeah.

Maybe less so for Townsville but they are almost as bad at recruiting lately.
