Really? If he plays like this year at South's we've missed nothing. I hope he gets some form back but based on this year I wouldn't have broken the bank to get him.

I think he'll go well in super league. Obviously the comp is no where need nrl standard so I know where you're coming from.

Both twins seem to have lost a bit of dynamism to me, there size still makes them a handful but they dont look anywhere near as athletic as they did a couple of year ago.

Tom went OK this year. George certainly lost some of his zip.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Nov 13, 2019 8:01 am  

Tom was certainly the better of the 2, but still dont think he was as good as he has been previous and not as explosive as he was...Would still like either of them at Leeds though.

Still early days in the NRL window.

It just takes afew moves here and there to start the chain of events.

Perhaps Prior is the best available currently? Never seen him play so don't know much about him. Well I know nothing about him as I've never seen him play as I just said. Did he play in the 2016 GF? I watched that

Some big signings being made this year, it'll be interesting to see which pan out. Cause it's a cert that some clubs are gonna have their fingers burnt...

Yeah he started at prop in the 2016 grand final. Pretty sure he was the joint winner of Cronullas player of the year that season aswel along with Fifita

My biggest issue with prior on paper at least, is that at 32 he is past his best. We will get two years at most out of him and you never know how a player will settle moving across the world. All of this for big wages.

On the plus side he has lots of experience to pass on to our good young set of forwards coming through and on a two year contract he wouldn't be a long term blocker to them.

Theres a 17 min video of Priors 2016 season on YTUBE, gives a bit of insight of the type of player he is when near his best. His defence looked outstanding, especially his line speed, good offload and very athletic. Reading Cronullas fans page, they say his defence is still very good but his work with the ball has dropped off.

Like Fallon says, his age is the big worry, on the plus side, he was well ahead of Ava in Cronullas prop rotation last season, if he's as good as Ava here, we'd all take that id assume.

Prior was selected for Origin this year so he must have been playing very well.
