Rumour TPJ

[ChesoBulldog]

Tevita was telling supporters in president suite yesterday that he will be back next week. Whether he meant this week against south’s I’m not sure. But wouldn’t put it past him to tell a lie to keep fans happy

Hope this is true.
1. We need him.
2. I am sick of people here spreading rumours and making things up about his whereabouts and where he might end up.

End of the day he's with us this year and next. We have to get behind him while this is the case.

There’s no motivation to lie to fans, media yes, but not fans… if he plays, he plays. We need to have that next man up mentality. Guys like Morrin who ripped in, despite being undersized, plays with the heart of his old man, fearless and gutsy.

I'm going to assume he's talking about the Eel game.

Be assured the main reason for the uncertainty is the club making sure there is no gamble on his injury !
Like I've said before this week is a big possibility.

Whether anyone likes it or not. TPJ is contracted to us for 2023 and 2024. He will be back fresh from the his injury against Parra. He was our difference in our pack for 2022. He’s lost some weight and has changed a lot.

We instead should get rid of Thompson and try to get Haas or NAS over here.

Why would any decent middle forward come? as we still DON'T have an NRL standard no.7.. Gus' stubborness on not giving Karl O a shot is insulting to anyone who can clearly see Flanno is shot...

Isn't Jermaine injured at the moment. Went down a few weeks ago in an SG Ball game.

He actually lives with Tevita in Sydney at the moment.

The day you posted this he played for Canberra?
So is he travelling to and from Canberra for training?

The fact Gus chased Pearce shows they are looking absolutely everywhere. Better to not have buyers remorse.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

We need him more than ever for this weeks game against Souths. Him and Davey off the bench would help us immensely.

Is there anyway Kikau can play? He showed no symptoms.

According to FoxSports

Another important factor is the ability for clubs to apply for exemptions to a player’s 11-day stand-down period in “exceptional circumstances”.

Under the new guidelines, an exemption appeal would require a review by an NRL-appointed neurological expert, and only if a player meets a set of specific criteria.

It could be possible

I thought these specific Criteria included no other recent concussions, he got a concussion from the trial game he played

I don't think the club would risk it. Can you imagine the media if Kikau gets another head knock on Friday and with Gus' current stance on this concussion drama the flogs are Fox would schedule their whole week around Bulldogs and Gus.

I think at least now knowing that Kiks and RFM are not playing, it gives CC enough time to prepare.

This is also true. RFM would potentially be a chance, but as I posted above there's no way the club would risk it.

Also on RFM, how was Val not sighted for his high shot? He jumped up off the ground and his shoulder contacted RFMs head, hence the cat 1. I am sure Wade Graham was suspended for a month for the same thing lol

I'm watching the replay, he should have been cited. Didn't the Knights complain to the MRC and get a Tigers player suspended earlier this year?

Ahh bugger eh.

Definitely one that could come back to bite us in the arse in future.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

How’s the sauce?

 

[707_2Belmore]

I think maybe David is the only one who didn’t get a run in Canberra, but he was defs here playing for Rams in loca footy lol.

Raiders had Tevita, Kilu, Mosese and now Jermaine.

Sticky had him at Roosters lol

just doesn’t pick the team bra, ciro does.

That's not the kennel way though bro lol
I agree with you though, we need him fit and firing desperately
I'll judge him more harshly if the rest of the season is a shitshow and he doesn't give us 100% but until then i want him back too.

Love the avatar Philmus.

Remind me again, did they award the try to Moses? It looks like there is very minor separation between his hand an the ball.

 

[Kelpie03]

Even with thommo gone next year his money gets chewed up by Crichton who could turn out to be just as big a question mark, and we still don’t have a decent half and addressed the lack of middles.

Not to mention that King Preston Kiraz, and perhaps1 or 2 others will need an upgrade.
