OLD FAITHFUL PAL OF MINE: |
|
| Quote: Wellsy13 "Agree totally. Pressure off? Really? I'm pretty sure we're still supposed to be proving we're not just an also-ran. 7th is not exactly "pressure off" material to me. If anything, the pressure should be on because we're not where we want to be.
We're 2 points off 4th (likely to be four after today). All the big sides will be playing each other over the next 8 weeks. 3 of them are still in the cup. We should still be doing all we can to make the top four. It is definitely achievable still. If we believe our youngsters are ready, then great. If we have better options, use them. The last thing I want to see is us taking what I consider the lazy option of throwing in the young players, getting stuffed because we can't get relegated, completely demoralising them and ending yet another season on a damp squib.'"
My thoughts exactly!

| To be fair on the "non-sedentary" poster, he rarely goes to games, so his RL knowledge is limited. Doesn't excuse his embarrassing attack on Gareth Ellis though. Gaz must have shagged his wife and broken his favourite mug, or something.
Ellis has been incredible this year. Even the stint on Friday night showed how well he carries the ball in and the work-rate. I truly hope he gets over this terrible injury and we get another year from him.
Pryce has impressed too. Many is the time he's been battered on the field and just got on with the job. Catalans at home for instance - they killed him each time he got the ball, mostly illegally. A true professional.
We need him back.

| Think the poster has been on a downer on Ellis from the moment he got that unfortunate injury before debut at Headingley.
One of the greatest players I've had the pleasure to see in a black & white jersey.

| Any news on Sa or Yeaman? Could probably do with Sa as a back row option with Ellis out?

| Fox sport are reporting that you are going to sign Carlos Tuimavave for next year.
Carlos is a 5/8 who was a standout in the Warriors under 20s a few years ago. He only got a handful of firstgrade games at the Warriors and played fullback and centre as well as 5/8.
This year he has been playing 5/8 in the Newcastle Knights reserve grade and has had 4 or 5 games in firstgrade as a 5/8 replacement for Jarrod Mullen.
He is a very good athlete - tall, big for a half, fast, good step. He has been working all this year under Knights halves guru Allan Bell and his kicking and passing games have improved a lot.
He is 6'1" and 90kg.
He had a very good game at 5/8 for Samoa in their big win over Tonga a few months ago, and I expect he will be a regular for Samoa in the future.

I don't think we need another 6. Unless it's to play centre.
Could be to Rovers though. They haven't signed a new half back in months. Carlos' cousin Evarn briefly played for them.

Has he played any at fullback for you?
remmember him coming through and playing a few at 1 for warriors.
Rumour is shaul n rankin off so this signing would make sense as a pivot style fullback signing whilst providing cover at half whilst we still have 2 halves contracted for next yr

No.
He played one game at centre in reserve grade and scored two tries with quality footwork - but apart from that he has played 5/8 in both grades, which is what he signed for. At the warriors he was unhappy that he wasn't getting a chance at 5/8.
