NRL General Discussion Thread

Wayne would surely be making some calls to say g'day.

 

[Mustafur]

I hope the Broncos are exploring their options with this.

I don't care if we have to get rid of a few of our promising youngsters. If we can land Turbo Tom, that would elevate our side to new levels.

In order to get them I would say we would need to give them Cobbo, Haas and probably Mam, Jake would probably ask for money similar to Haas with Tommy being the cost of Cobbo and Mam.(Cobbo to be their fullback and Mam to cover the 6 they need)

Personally while it would be good to dream it's not feasible it would be alot easier if Tom didn't have his brother as a latch on.

So...where does Turbo go and more importantly, how do the Roosters justify this one?

If boththe Trbojevic boys went to bulldogs they would be an immediate premiership threat. As a footy fan I would love to see it

lol they won’t want Mam. They’re in love with the chubby lazy show pony who forced Foran out.

He was dropped for plenty of games last season, I think they jumped the gun thinking that because the talk of Foran staying was probably started from Manly.

Not to mention he was one of the players that didn't play because of some colours on a jersey.

It's honestly pretty funny how fucked Manly are.

 

[BooKhaki]

If Manly allow Trbo to leave, surely they'd want Jrbo gone too. Let's not forget Jake is on over a million and is barely worth half that.

 

[Foordy]

The comparisons to us are staggering. Hopefully it has the same effect, but surely he won't walk in and rip the guts out of the place? Bet he's got a sweet playlist worked out for the first training session though. I'm imagining a lot of Village People with several different renditions of "It's Raining Men" to feature.

this situation actually has similarities between both his stints with us AND with the Rabbitohs.

with the Rabbitohs because they have a solid finals ready roster that shouldn't need too much tinkering.

and with us because of the messy situation that he steps into

p.s. watch the bidding war, if Turbo comes onto the market (with the Dolphins likely driving up his price before missing out on him) ...

 

[Fernando]

Can't see Turbo leaving, now or ever

But if it happened, Des+Turbo for Seibold would be one of the biggest fuckups in NRL history

 

[Foordy]

So more importantly, how do the Roosters justify Turbo, Jurbo AND Haas?

come on mate, you know they still have plenty of cash from when Fittler retired

 

[Battler]

I’d love to have des around our club in some capacity, even if it’s as a consultant

Ge him on as the assistant to replace Matterson

I didn’t say it was smart from them but higher ups at the club love the dude. He’s there 6 without a doubt. Des’s treatment of him very likely played a part in his sacking.

 

[Harry Sack]

Des won't be an assistant anywhere. There's a Dragons job and possibly a Titans job up for grabs in the next year IMO. That said, if I was Tim Sheens I'd be giving him a sneaky call to see if he's interested in the Tigers job until another HC role comes up. I think Sheens only took on the job as coach for the next couple of years to mentor Benji because there were no legitimate options available to fill that role. Des could do that, allowing Sheens to maintain his focus on everything else. No idea if it would work but it would be worth a phone call.

Dragons would be a good move.

 

[Harry Sack]

Dragons would be a good move.

Flanno as the short priced favourite to take over if Hook gets the arse would have to be a little nervous I'd think.

 

[Bull Shark]

For the 74th time this year.. .

 

[Big Del]

He had to have his ankle rebuilt .
Syndesmosis . Strap the shin bones back together . That often means lower form than pre injury for a period of time .

To many cooks spoil the broth .
That`s why Ikin and Kevie weren`t friends for a while .
