[Tiger Shark]

yeh there is no point to capewell when we have wilton chomping at the bit and josh finau emerging

Finau is more of a middle these days, he's defn an emerging player though. One to watch.

 

[snowman]

Chances of SJ re-signing with us?

50/50 - he does or he doesnt

Dunno if this is legit but one of my mates said we might be interested in Fergo?

Apparently Ken Mamarlo (wrong spelling I know) is on the outer @ Warriors,
for me, if we are wanting a big body winger to start our sets & be a aerial threat give me Ken over Fergo, Fergo is on the slide is only going to dip further.

I wonder if Fitz is thing Ronnie as a centre?

fergo is asking to return, fitz isnt keen

tupou and maumalo are the only 2 i would move ronnie for

Yep. Agreed.

After the well known guys Sikei and Pickering seem to be ahead in the pecking order - though neither are prominent "back rowers". Sikei switches between edge/middle, and Pickering is basically Alan Wilson. I've seen him play every position except prop.

Boyling and Hosking are decent too. Hosking is more of a 13 and part-time 9 than an edge though.

Sikei must be injured I think, he went from extended bench to starting backrower after a few games. Not named anywhere.

Maumalo was dally m winger of the year last time he played outside Sj…
Hasn’t looked the same since.

Fusitu'a was an absolute beast for them the next year in 2018 and hasn't done much since, admittedly they've played around with him at centre instead of wing since a bit I think and also went back to NZ last year and has been injured most of this year.
You wouldn't wanna pay for eithers best years but at good prices it'd be interesting to see if that old form can be unlocked again.

Good call Fitzy. Fergo can go and eat a dick.

Would happily take him at his best but he's well past that.

People still holding grudges because a guy enacted a clause we were dumb enough to give him.

Ronnie and Katoa were on fire outside of SJ last year but we don’t want SJ.

 

[CrazyMatt]

No it's not you liar

LOL I said partially

He left us at the start of his career when our club developed him, had all his peak years elsewhere, now he’s old and slow he comes crawling back and wants to bum a paycheque out of us?


****……him. Go retire you arrogant **** knuckle or find some other useless club to offer you a pity contract.

I’m just doing it as a pisstake at this point, I’ve been over that for a while now. I still think he’s an arrogant knobhead though.
