News Pay confirms interest in api and Raimen

[Heckler]

Gordon Tallis is entitled to his point of view, but it's a little bit rich coming from a guy who sat out the year after ditching the Dragons to go to the Broncos.

Former Broncos and Queensland enforcer Gorden Tallis has lashed out at departing Knights centre Jesse Raimen after he was granted permission to leave the club.


Raimen announced his intentions to leave the club on Thursday after a falling out with coach Nathan Brown led to his demotion from first grade.

"The Newcastle Knights have granted Jesse Ramien permission to negotiate with other clubs," the statement said.

"The decision this week to drop Ramien from the NRL side prompted discussions for the centre to find a new home.


This decision has angered the former Australian representative, who called out Ramien for running away from the challenge presented by Brown.

"I feel sorry for our fans a little bit in that sense, that we play a tough sport and it's been going around for a long time and you challenge some person and they walk away from it"

"When he was playing at the Sharks I thought wow, this guy is going to go to Newcastle and get some quality ball...the sky's the limit," Tallis said on the Fox League pre-game show on Thursday night.

"But he looks to be heavier, he had his opportunities against the Roosters, he's dropping balls, he just doesn't look happy,

"For some reason, I think he's getting pushed, he's getting tested and doesn't want to be there."

Tallis then turned his attention to the younger generation coming through the game, who he believes lack the fortitude and toughness to face up to the challenges presented by their coaches.

"These young guys, the game needs to toughen up, when the coach tells you something, you just have to do go and do it," Tallis explained.


"I'm over them going 'I want to get out of here' because the coach is challenging you, everyone wants a challenge in life, they're playing the greatest game of all

"The coach tells them to pull their finger out and start having a go and making their tackles and stop letting their team down, and all of a sudden they pull the cord and they want out

"I feel sorry for our fans a little bit in that sense, that we play a tough sport and it's been going around for a long time and you challenge some person and they walk away from it"

Hahaha is this the same Gordon Tallis that spat the dummy at the Dragons and sat out a season?

Koroisau has been named to start for Manly against Knights today.

 

[Durie1986]

Absolute rubbish.

Lichaa has been here since 2015 and has had the likes ok Klemmer, Graham, Kasiano, Pritchard, Lane who were always getting over your advantage line.

Add to that Morris Bros, Perrett and Rona, the kid couldnt of asked for more from his team mates.

No one has been given more time and shots than Lichaa. Time to move on

Actually habib he was coached to play the way he did by Messiah Hasler. He hasn’t started to run until Dean Pay arrived.

I would target fainuu and cust from manly....both crafty young players

Need to fix the spine first before splurging on other positions

Not getting Fainu. Just locked him up and Koroisau is the one they're going to offload.

 

[bowleggedwog]

Did you not hear Jonathan Thurston in commentary , very critical of him, took the wrong option on nearly every occasion. Time to move on

Fuck knows what it says. He is up there with Justin Hodges lol.

 

[bowleggedwog]

What the fuck...

Develop ? He’s had like 5 years of shit and you want 2 more??? Fuck no.

No lichaa no Levi.

Agree jmk is fringe. Ok from bench

I would prefer 2 years of lichaa than.spend 600k on api for next year when next year is a right off as well. 2021 is the year we recruit but 2022 we have a few developed plus more recruits, no use wasting 600 on api.

 

[EXPLORER]

Pay the master coach
Build him a statue at Belmore when we sign these guys

 

[Como Dog]

Remind me why we let him go in the first place

Des !!!

Storm making play for Ramien

Tweet from @storm

General Manager of Football, Frank Ponissi has provided a comment on media speculation this weekend:

“Contrary to reports in the media, Storm is not a club chasing the signature of Jesse Ramien. We are well stocked with quality centres.”

I'd be happy with Koroisau for 1 season (if we could get him for $400k or less, maybe 2). I don't see him as our No 1 dummy half when we've got cash for 2021 though. Ramien is a better long term option as a young strike centre with some aggression.

He has 2 seasons left on his contract so it'd have to be at least 2 seasons. I think 2-3 is what would happen if we signed him. I think we could sign Ramien for up to 5 years if we wanted.
