Will Thommo be here ?

 

[Not Paul Kent]

I think you’re getting a little bit over excited ranking Keppie above Taupau Woodsy. Great game from him last night but Taupau has showed he can do it consistently and has experience on his side.

Thompson has already been extended

I’d still like to see T-Rex added to the squad but perrett is also probably worth a life line, probably on a reduced contract as no one is exactly queuing up to sign him.

 

[bob dylan]

Keppie in front of Marty?

I guess the day will come but I don't think he will overtake him next year.

Let's hope not, that will mean a strong rotation and as you point out we look to have some real depth.

And ain't it amazing how a coach who improves players makes your roster look much stronger without changing faces.

He has done a marvellous job... Dessie maintained that the club wasn’t in a rebuild phase at the beginning of the year after we opened our account with a couple of losses. Few believed him...

His coaching record is phenomenal and a wonderful man to boot.

A part of me says that Perrett should get a base contract offer. Good for the reserves and good to be called upon like last night.

You are correct as it stands ... but by the end of next year I will back Keppie in ... I just think he is a player that will influence the result more than just metres ... I think he will be of more value overall ..

Thanks on the heads up about Thomo ... must have happened during one of my naps ...

If it is a choice between Perrett and T-Rex ... I think we all know which way Dessie leans ..

But is Des always right? He did go to the Dogs!

And made a fortune getting paid for work he didnt have to do.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

One thing I do know , if we can keep them we are going to have a kick arse forward pack in 2020.

 

[bob dylan]

And another positve thing @Woodsie is props usually dont peak until they have played up to 100 games.

So your point about Keppie, is even more encouraging.

He must be re-signed long term.

 

[winnyason]

Yeah got alot of emerging forwards. Perrett not sure there, given the talk we retained josh schuster someone does not get retained.
As we know api and hodkinson are not here. We keep thommo, parker. Not alot of spots and keppie a development squad.

Keppie already in top squad and will be staying there long term

Thommo will be there mate
If you switch Marty with Keppie and.....well thats about it....

No need to be buying any forwards.

Just a Jamie Lyon Centre.

Speaking of long term signings, what about Regan Two-Dads signing with the Faecalmatta NReeLs for five years?

I mean, what could go wrong?

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Come on lads. Less than 2 games of NRL does not make a superstar.

Keppie looks good yes. He has potential yes. But once rival coaches have a chance to dissect his game and plan for it we may find he's just good.

No way hes better than Marty and would be very lucky to surpass him in next 12 months. As said earlier come back in 100 games and let's compare but until then let's just hope the kid keeps developing and does become something special.

Okay nice. Yeah i believe he offers more than paseka, sipley, boyle. I wonder if we bring trex up there been bit of chatter on this space.

Spot on... no way known he’s better than Marty yet.

He no marty. But imo he a top 17 selection at full strength now.

No doubt hes probably ( covering my arse ) better than a few of our bench forwards.

I reckon Pasenka is a bit of a slow boil and could come good in the next few years. In fact real good. Hes growing into the fact hes a big guy and now plays against big guys. Pasenka types who have always been bigger than others in the juniors sometimes struggle more with the step up.

Would at this very moment say Keppi is a better option than Boyle. Sipley will be a wreaking ball.

What ever happens our forward pack is starting to look awesome.
