Player Movements / Rumours 2011/2012

[OXY-351]

Going out on his own terms ..... well done.

I dunno. There was rumours a few days ago that he wouldn't be offered a contract for next season. Maybe this forced his hand in making the decision.

That's kinda what i was implying :wink:

Better for him to come out and announce he's retiring ..... he's been a legend of the game and at least deserves to be able to announce he going the right way.

Anasta has signed with the Tigers for 2 years. Confirmed by Rugby League Week FB page.

 

[m1c]

He'll be a great buy for them. From one of the most overrated, I reckon he is close to one of the most underrated in the comp' today. A great leader and extremely consistent in his level of performance. Loves having his hand on the ball when a big play is needed and can find a way to deliver it.

I dare say he may be the missing ingredient. They would have won the comp last year with a steady hand like his.

Agreed but I would like to know where they intend on playing him. In the 6 or at 13?? Sheens still needs to go.

 

[Jeba]

Edit. That's already been mentioned.

[Dexter]

Apparently bought to replace Gareth Ellis, and Matt Johns thinks there soft this year. He'll be a handy player but hardly a first thought to stiffen your pack.

I think he'd be good at 13. He brings great ball skills and strong leadership to the team. So much of their attack is ad-libbed and unstructured; I think having a steady hand organising the forwards will help Moltzen and Marshall continue their own nonsense.

 

[Kimlo]

I think Anasta's a good signing for the Tigers, whether Marshall will move to 7 to accommodate him is up in the air, either way he'll be a solid addition.

I'm unsure why it matters what jersey they wear. The only thing a 7 does that a 6 doesn't is feed the scrum. But yes, Marshall's played in the 7 before so I imagine that's how it would work.

Moltzen's a nuffy.

 

[m1c]

I expect him to play lock. That's the way Sheens rolls.

 

[Fozz]

Knowing Sheens, he'll play him on the wing.

 

[Browny]

That would then allow sheens to have a second winger on the bench

Agreed. If I was the Dragons I'd be happy that we didn't sign him - Morris wouldn't have been at 1 and he's been killing it there.

 

[Dexter]

Yes Morris has been good in general play but his positional play is ordinary, I hope he keeps playing well back there and the nuffy NSW selectors think they're onto something and select him.

Thurston, Cronk and Smith will expose him bigtime.

 

[OXY-351]

Thurston, Cronk and Smith will expose him bigtime.

Yep, will definitely pull his pants down

 

[Broncoman]

Morris has been shining at fullback but he and Jamie shoudn't be blamed for their performance in the 1st half on Friday. They struggled to create chances behind a beaten pack. NSW fullback should by Brett Morris or Brett Stewart.

What about Hayne?
