I've got high hopes for all of Laban, EIT and Halasima, but imo these guys aren't the ones you want doing 12+ hit ups a game where they're trying to bend/break the line.

Laban, while he has the size and could be utalised this way doesn't seem to have that mindset. He seems to be a defensive focused player who is good in the air.

EIT - doesn't quite have that big man size, and his super power seems to be his fitness where he'll run and tackle all day, but may not break the line.

Leka - you don't want your Ferrari's main role to be the grunt work. Good for some solid hit ups but I don't think we should lump him in there.

Clark was great this year and our most damaging forward, constantly bunting players and making good post contact meters. He needs help!

You've confused Leka with Demi too!!

It’s a fake video using artificial intelligence

Bro, Had to look all that up I have no socials. And I'm ancient. So I'm way lost with all this stuff.

Just listened to a AI generated song on youtube. Fucking scary shit!

Thanks for the proper reply to my question bro lol.

I once said put RTS at 6. It never flew

Must be AA - Anti Aircraft. You're welcome.

It wasn't Paul Simon's "you can call me Al" was it?

Never realised you were more ancient than I. Anyway that account that posted it states that they do AI Wahs based and all types of rubbish vids.

Anyway you call him. You can call him AI

I went to school with Frank Sinatra old. Not as old as Kos tho

Put it this way, I went to a Billy Ocean concert last night. Everyone stunk of mothballs and had a walking stick.

Without my glasses it looks like Al. As in Al Bundy. I thought i was missing out on some inside joke the first time.
Yup, Don't mind me. I'll exit stage left back to my retirement home.

In hindsight I probably shouldn't have posted it without a bit more than the Lol comment that I did.

AI is getting dangerous though

No you did the right thing. I would have posted it

So....is it bullshit? I can't tell the difference....which is kinda the point I guess.

Yes the video is fake however with the amount articles about AKP and the Warriors being allowed to talk by the Titans seems like they're in negotiations for a deal at the moment so I'd say it's highly likely he's here from next year.

Yes bro, Bs. Hard for our Koro minds to come to grips with aye? Everything is fake. Boobs, Butt lifts, Lip fillers, 40 inch eye lashes and shit. Now this. I need a sleep after this.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

“What if Webby coached the Titans, premiership edition”

We should be steady on with titans players.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I think Laban, EIT, Demi have the aggression to get metres and Clark's been doing it consistently

Do people think NAS is still on the cards after the reports? Can imagine him attracting 3-4 defenders then offload to a Metcalf or Healey. But he'll be suspended half the time unless he revert to being a speed bump when tackling. We probably have the cap for it, but double (overs) becomes quadruple if he's not playing 50% of the time

The only thing that annoys me about potentially signing him, is that in the past hes laughed at the club advances.

A part of me thinks fuck you! Go play for someone else.

We dont actually need NAS. Hes not coming here and going another level. Enough of these types of signing for now. I say fir now because we have enough leaders at the club.

I would rather us have a crack at Griffin Neame. He can come here in 27 and that can off set Barnetts departure.

I'm sure that our management team will see it the same way

I see that the shirts they are wearing have a gold trim on the Sleeves, Titans colours.

Weird that people go to such lengths to be eggs. Very strange generation. Glad I do not use Facecrack...only this place gets me looking on their.
