Pick your preferred order!

Mines Willison, Thompson then Whyte.

Can't beat a big body haha

Willison and Whyte even for me followed close by Leo Thompson. Leo Thompson would likely mean Tyrone Thompson who’s tipped to go over with his brother and would be an interesting proposition for a union convert? Interesting seeing something the other day about 8 teams apparently inquiring on Siua Wong availability. Surely we wouldn’t be one having some great backrowers at the club, but interesting around the The Warrior Waka rumour about Naufahu Whyte

No love for Neame?

 

[Defence]

I thought he should have held on to the ball on that break. Mamm had a souths player right on him.

Yeah actually you’re right- the pass wasn’t really on- shouldve just steamrolled him.

 

[Noitall]

Thought he bombed that try- he did well to draw the fullback but then threw the pass behind his support.
Right idea- poor execution.

Thought the player was well covered and he did well just to get the ball into his teammates arms. Needed the player receiving the ball to create something I thought. I was pretty deep into a few by then too, so a wee hazy

Shit that’s a hard one- been mulling it over for 5 minutes and still can’t decide.
Thompson is proven and comes with the possible bonus twin signing.
I really like whyte- same age as willison but a bit further ahead in his development.
Willison has the most “potential “…… bit of a dirty word a round here.
I’d be stoked with any of them tbh.

Anyone heard the rumour doing the rounds of AFB backflipping on sharks deal?

 

[Makasene]

Anyone heard the rumour doing the rounds of AFB backflipping on sharks deal?

Nope. And surely a load of shite

 

[miket12]

Anyone heard the rumour doing the rounds of AFB backflipping on sharks deal?

Anything to do with the rumour of a sponsorship deal with Hudson's cookies?

 

[Noitall]

Don’t think I could think of much sweeter, to pay them back for Toby Rudolf backflip. We’d surely need to shift people on to accommodate him and JFH? And furthermore, is that smart to have such big money tied up in front rowers? Wonder if it’s potentially a backflip on sharks but to another Sydney team perhaps? Nothing changes with his situation of an ill relative?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

I also didn't like how he hung his girlfriend out in that interview with James Graham.

He just doesn't take any responsibility. It was so easy to see the kind of guy he is.

Trying to stay home and be a good boy! Get off the fucken drugs mate and go to rehab.

He’s an incredibly stupid narcissist

He can't back flip.

This would be so major that I put no relevance on it at all until it is in the media.

No I haven't and where have you heard this?

 

[sup42]

Did we sign someone? or am I in the wrong thread being a Naive dumb kient asking silly questions?

We just signed AFB! 2030!

cmon. Don’t give us blue balls. Where did you hear this?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Should ban him for this

I remember I got banned for somthing similar.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Nah we don't need AFB, he's just blocking pathways for our younger players! Over the hill and nearly 29 now.

 

[JaggedJ]

cmon. Don’t give us blue balls. Where did you hear this?

At the bottom of the jug most likely.

Someone was joking on Twitter when the Sharks were getting thrashed. Don't take it seriously lol
