Webby's starting to turn into Adam Sandler from The Longest Yard. You can do it.

Didn't Sandlers character throw games, for money?

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Webster and he would have been at panthers at the same time so possibly have a good rapport?

I believe so. Every panther I've seen in interviews when Webby is brought up praisers him. Also, I don't get when people bring up a players past when we've got our own players with a checkered history.

A Ford/Fish/DemeTruck/Leniu/Tss rotation would be elite.

Some say we don't need him? We need something like him. Hes young enough with plenty of experience. Has elite impact. And would thrive in our environment where the coaching & leaders of our club are respected throughout the world of RL.

Injuries to 2 of our starters and we are relying on a jack of all trades, master of none in EIT. A raw & unproven RTV & Jason Salalilo.

He would be more than handy.

 

[Warriorsfan92]

I can't see why anybody at the club would rate Harry Inch higher than Brandon Norris based with proven on-field results. Norris has been carving up for quite some time.

Harry Inch may have good potential but I have never seen a player like Brandon Norris where everything he touches literally turns to gold on the field.

Brandon Norris is a modern Willie Carne. Check out Willie Carne highlights - I think he is the same guy!!

Priority resign - Would hate to see him leave. Norris is going to make it!!!

Wrong Harry brah

 

[WAH MAN]

Yeah, because this guy just reeked of leadership skills, eh?

Mitch Barnett banned for six matches

Knights forward Mitch Barnett is out until round 10 after he was found guilty at the judiciary and handed a six-game ban

Honestly, I see everyones apprehension.

I'm not really advocating for getting him, per se. Just throwing some shit out there and seeing what sticks, I guess.

The magic dust Webby has for players could iron out Spencer's character issues, his lack of verbal restraint, his desire to kill everybody who disagrees with him and his general all round relatability. From there he'd be a great get. But could probably get a whole lot of money to go to Dragons, Perth, PNG or the highly despised Bulldogs

 

[KO WAI RA]

Imagine Spence teaching Jacko how to take kick off returns….!!!!
This is the only part of Fords game that eats arse….

Yeah I quoted you twice because that's some fine description you used hahaha

 

[Dead Man Switch]

Wrong Harry brah

My bad bro!! thats a brain fade!! Yep Harry Tauafiafi-Iutoi!! Kid can play an has wheels. Two exceptional wingers there. I'm leaning still towards Norris, I just think he is a very special talent but both are GUNS!!
