Lovegroves a good solid player, Watts imo has a little more to his game, mainly his ability to get the ball away.

If Moa is to leave i'd probably agree with you on O'Meley, my main worry would be signing a prop past his best, someone like Brett Kite even worse Asotasi, and using a lot of cap space on him. Theres not a abundance of props in the NRL.

Newcastle might be releasing a couple Tuimavave or Fa'aoso?

I can't see any of these young props, Kasiano, coming over, theres going to be too much money in the Nrl soon.

The club will have to go overseas for a prop to replace moa and ogre and a 1 english prop i suspect

You've only got to look at the way Watts took the pi$$ out of us in the 2010 playoff Derby to see the talent he has.
Just needs a fresh start IMO.

Think he needs a mentor type prop for a bit of guidance which Lynch would be superb at.

was that from the stand?

He didnt play in that game due to an injury

That'd work

If he's got the talent , Then we should be throwing our hat in the ring . I'm in the same boat as Rock God , I have'nt really seen enough of him .

Yeah, sorry, think its the derby before that I'm thinking. The one he scored late on in.

You beat us in that game. Think Newton and Charnley where the other try scorers for Rovers.

Can he not play well in a beaten team? Was your best forward on the park that night. Seems to have put weight on, maybe this is a reason for his poor discipline? He seemed to have good feet and an offload too.

You can take him for me. We played so much better on Sunday without him. BTW he likes a drink or 4 or 10

So he's leaving then.

Good, Westy will have someone to drink with during the week then.

I'm sure your performance was solely down to Watts being left out.

limpwrist's coaching ability on full view eh?!

Discipline was better.

Well we executed some bloody good attacking plays if that's what you mean. Shame he hasn't the players who can defend out wide. Give him time to bring in his players and he'll hopefully be assessed fairly on his coaching credentials.

yup, he'll be viewed as crap, he inherited Justin "second coming" Morgans squad afterall.

give it up Easty, we all know you're taf

We'll see come the seasons final standings. I'm confident we'll still finish above yourselves.

as confident as you where when you made your rant and lost your mods badge?

f't

I'm glad your result was down to better discipline, if it was about good attacking structures and excellent execution I'd be worried for Saturday.

Really? If we win on Saturday and our game in hand that would put us 10 points ahead with 12 games remaining. You'd have to win 6 more games than us.

Even if we don't win either game, you'd still have to win 3 more than us. I don't see that happening tbh, we'll win 6 more at least, you won't win 9.

I'm sure he'd be better under gentle, just not good enough.

bless, remember, Easty doesnt "DO" reality, he'll no doubt be telling us Hall is better than Ellis fairly soon.

When I was younger I would have worked all this out = Thanks I am LOL at your great facts.
