Lillyman

[Guest]

When a player is let go by the warriors after their current season there are problems, i would steer clear coming from a club with a poor on field and performance culture, he may well not be a part of that bad culture but it is guilt by association, we have enough coverage through Wyong and the 20s to cover, seriously what forward power have we lost we need to replace, pansy Guerra and Evans who is built like Tarzan and plays like Jane most games.

Just because we somehow have cap space does not mean we have to spend it.

yes good thing we steered clear of taukeiaho and maloney

I'd rather we pick up half the tab and take James Graham off the dogs.

He isn't worth half the tab ($500K).

He's played for Queensland 14 times, so he's pretty familiar with their culture as well.

Then of course, there's always the possibility that Trent and the recruitment team rate him more than you.

So you are of the opinion that we have no need to try to improve our squad? We have released Evans, Guerra, Carter & Knight. Please name the 4 players from "Wyong and the 20s" that have the talent, temperament & skillset required to replace them, ready to go in 2018, without weakening our forward pack. Most on here acknowledge we are already one good prop short. Why on earth wouldn't you want to add another quality front rower to the squad?

[John Corey]

If he came cheap, he's another L.O.D.

Not sure about that Johnny. Think you may be giving Lillyman too much credit. Decent backup tho and better than Tim Grant.

Luke O'Donnell was an origin rep like Lillyman. I hope Lillyman is like O'Donnell.

[Bigchook]

Not even close to LOD.

Not even close to LOD.

That's the way - let's write him off before he gets here in typical Chookpen fashion.

just looking his stats up for recent games hes regularly making 10m per hit up and close to 100% tackle rate thats pretty good

Not at all. We desperately need a prop so I'm happy to have him. Doesn't mean he's equal to signing LOD or a player of his quality.

[crikey chris]

I rate Taglatese and Sharks are letting him go. I think he would go well at a new club.

Lillyman is also a good option for depth and experience. You know what you will get with him.

There is only one LOD. Supporters should realise he won't be replaced.

Apparently manly are chasing Taglatese hard.

Wasn't he coming to us a while back, until Flanno found out and extended his contract at the sharks?

[Tommy Smith]

That is correct.

Flanno is a ****.

[Frozen Chook]

Yes having an older forward who has been part of strong winning culture in big games (Queensland) and whilst they dont always get it right all the time i will trust our recruitment team on this one.

[theGman]

That is correct.

Flanno is a ****.

I'll 2nd that !!!

nobody forced tagatese to re-sign with the sharks he chose to stay
