BJ Lawrence future

[R3]

Are we playing the most dangerous game of all: All Our Eggs in One Basket"?

Drinking too early?

Meehan would have been a good swap if he was still on the Rooster roster. Who makes up our prop rotation now?
I know Marty and Myles can cover prop but besides Jake, who do you consider our (not even best) options?

I actually like the idea of Mateo coming off the bench and playing an artie beetson stint at prop. His lateral movement and size is perfect in the middle for prop at short bursts and he likes a simple role... It was always too much structure for him every time a coach threw the 6 jersey or role at him..

Biggest tick for Mateo is his ability to stand in the tackle and offload. If he comes on as an interchange prop and does that against a tired defence with say Parcell or Walker lurking - BOOM - we're off!

Not me, I only started in 1965.

Sad to see BJ go if true. Would've liked to see him in our backrow.

To answer your question though, Lussick is also a prop allegedly.

Myles, Jake, Marty, Starlo, Vave, Burgess & Lussick is solid but another top liner would be nice.

Haha I didn't exist till 1987 so better late than never!

My old Mum still has a bottle of Guinness every day and she's 93. She's cut back a bit from the old days though, remember you can never drink too much or too early.

Maybe we sign someone like James Gavet
Can not see us having money for another big name this coming year.

Sounds like he can't handle his piss, not sure he'd fit into a manly club.Just joshing but I'm getting sick of blokes with hard luck stories, let me tell you about the time...http://www.nrl.com/my-battle-with-alcohol-james-gavet/tabid/10874/newsid/81026/default.aspx...everything was so hard for

 

[Loobs]

We might do something totally out of the ordinary and sign someone from Penrith..

 

[eaglebuzz]

The club did say that we had room for Walker already and the other offloads were to make room for another big name. Seeing as the offloads are continuing it certainly seems to me like there's more coming.

Yeh I'll take her tip and cut back when ever it's needed, Dad only made it to 58 so I wanna see some longevity as well!

My old bloke fell off the side of a trawler on the way to Murmansk. Mind you he was a big whiskey drinker.
It was funny when the old man was in prison Mum decided she'd move away as far as possible and that's how I ended up out here. I wrote him letters telling him I was working on the boats.

 

[R3]

Yeh I can't believe it unless I see this one. I don't see why they would want him and that is no dig at him what so ever, I want him to rise again with us.

Losing Lawrence flies in the wisdom of the seven pillars.Richard Meinertzhagen objects....Anastasia cries in vain.

 

[Loobs]

They have probably looked at a few carryover guys that they deem to be "fringe", put them in the shop window and seen who will bite (with the addendum that they want a bite AND at a level where we will not be required to make up salary). Maybe those guys were Starling, Burgess, Mateo, BJ and more and this was the one that got a nibble. Mateo's deal is probably too big and may have a clause that if he's moved on again, the Warriors drop out of paying part of his pay and we or the new club is on the hook for the lot. Burgess is too **** to get an offer. Starling is a fringe player on a good team so not worth it.

Nothing is happening here, anybody who wants to hear any cutting edge 1960's psych/garage can follow me to the music thread.....................................................................................

Was he on the Russian convoys?

 

[Captain Moondog]

Was he on the Russian convoys?

During WW2 he was. He was Irish, for some stupid reason he volunteered for service in the Royal Navy. Being an experienced seaman they took him. He did five Atlantic convoys. The Germans did'nt kill him so he thought nothing could. A trip up to Murmansk was a piece of piss.
He used to laugh when I said I was fishing....still f**king around inshore boy, don't have to break ice off the rigging.
