i think at this stage we are creating our own rumours based off fantasy hypotheticals....

Hi mate
Yesterday I got a bunch of messages saying we were going to sign Ponga but they all seemed to lead back to the same dubious FB pages
One guy said he had confirmed it with a particular journo but that journo hasn’t published anything
I decided there just wasnt enough there for me to amplify it
Separately, I am wondering about where Ponga and Manu will be going- they can’t both go to the roosters..
I wish Luke would straighten up before he passes when we run shape. Atm he's just herding everyone to the sideline......including the defence
The times we look dangerous in the red zone is when Egan plays direct and we jump on the back of that.
Also, im not a Pompey disciple by any means but i dont think he's got enough credit for that try he scored. I know the Leka try overshadowed everything but damn that was one of the best Warrior solo tries we've seen in ages. Guys would be losing your shit if Leiataua put on footwork like that.

I think we could have the best back row in the comp next year.
You couldn't begrudge any player moving to Catalans.
New Zealand Warriors star set for Super League move as suitors revealed
Catalans are among the clubs interested in signing New Zealand Warriors' Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad - and are ready to table a deal to sign the fullback.www.loverugbyleague.com
Special spot to live.
He's a Tongan born Tongan. You wanna keep him around you look after his mum...
Taj if this turns out to be nothing, can you close this thread until we actually get a signing please?
Wonder if Egan is just too important for this inexperienced halves combination at this point? Seems to be a leader on the field at present too. He’s a big factor in the wins we’re having
I have just watched the replay and only half as smashed as last night.
That was a fantastic game of league.
The game evolves quickly at times and we are trying to play an enterprising attacking style and a brutal defensive style.
This comp is wide open.
The Leka try was started by Ed Kosi leaping under pressure to diffuse a bomb about 15 metres out.
TT might have had the next run and then maybe CNK.
Then Ali scooted left from dummy half and TT had rushed from the left to the right to make the overlap.
Perfect passes from Ali and TT.
Ford was insane in his new cameo.

Barney(170 games), Egan(129) , Fish(205) , Nuikore(132), Capewell(157) , Clark(95) Afoa(138) , is as experienced as you can get. They're all over 28 years of age except Clark & Ford(80), And they're both 27.
Dwz(212) , Rts(216) , Cnk(117) are all over 29 years of age.
CHT(75) - Tuaupiki(25) are 25. Metcalf(30) Pompey(98) are 26. They're at the stage of their careers where it's make or break time. Fail, And it's hard to kick on if they haven't already.
We have enough experience. Finding the balance between the inexperienced & the experienced on the field, And the bench is crucial. Which is the only gripe I have with Webby. His bench use is mud.
Starting all the old fullas then subbing them off for the inexperienced blokes is where we trip up sometimes. Great injection of power and pace! But the top 2 inches is where they lack. Discipline, bad Defensive reads, Fumbled set plays, Fitness(Fatigue which leads to all of the above)
Start Demetric & or Ford/Afoa, Bench Nuikore(Id prefer Laban)
Bench Barnett(Blasphemous, I know) But we have captain 1 who replaces captain 2(Fish) And we lose none of that Mana or leadership.
Ali & Berry are stars. They don't need looking after.
So, I don't think we lack experience. We lack x factor in the positions that are important if we are to go to the next level.
1 - An impact prop
2 - Speed on the wings
3 - Spine - Egan is world class. Thats a tick. Halves are inconsistent. CHT gives us what is expected of him. He is no frills. He plays a good support role if we have a 7 who can do most of the organising. Cht will kick when needed. Run the ball strongly. And muck in defensively. Metcalf is a running 6. Speed, Handy ball playing , Goal kicking , Very indecisive. I personally don't see him as a 7. They've gotten by off of Egan's creativeness.
Cnk - Defensively strong. Huge motor. No ex factor or speed. It is Tuaupiki's time now at the back. If he gets it. We will be better for it.
looks like the nrl media narrative on our game is going to be that the tigers were the better team and were robbed by CNK's gamesmanship. Basically that we got lucky. So I really hope we knock off one of Melbourne/Brisbane over the next 2 weeks to prove to the Sydney centric punditry class that we are not a mirage and are indeed the real deal.
Take the money and lock up Leka and Demitric for the next 10 years.
Build a nucleus around these two.
They are the future.

Tough day to be a Tigers player. Few fans bit harsh. I thought they played great even with the missing players and only just lost by 2. After the last few years that’s an infinite improvement.
Luai facing a 1-2 week ban. Confirms he should have been binned
I can't get over how pissy Benji was in the presser - as if they we reffed out of the game, couldn't be less true - compare that to how AW answered the question about the Luai high shot - proud of our club for that sort of attitude actually
It was unequivocally a penalty. Maybe CNK's theatrics are a bit distasteful but the decision was correct. Tigers fans bitching about it can pound sand.
