Munster hunting

[night_shadow]

Munster is 27 this September Luke is already 30 (February). IF Munster came to the chooks for season '24 he would be going on 29 , Luke 32....Sadly Luke will be getting to the twilight of his career, but would Munster be worth more than a 2 year contract turning 29? I dont think we would consider it a smart play to sign him...

I agree with you. Just a few years too late. Keep developing the younger fellows.

Nah........... just Braith upping his contract value

[Johnny73]

Develop the Youngsters would be the better option - Sandon Smith / Hugo Savala for instance

Ronald Volkman.

[Mickie Lane]

Munsters a dik. No from me

He’s a dik until he signs a contract with the Chooks just like the Cheese.

We haven't seriously contended for going on three years, Uncle Nick wouldn't be happy with us finishing in the bottom of the 8 and no threat to the title. I can't see him being idle if we are getting the results that have been dished up lately.
The next 2 months against the stronger sides will be very telling in how we will move forward as a club I'd imagine and for all those saying he doesn't fit our culture there is no denying that the bloke is a winner.
He seems to have sorted himself out off the field and is playing as well as ever.

He should have thought about seriously contending when he told Latrell to hit the road!

I am surprised that there are no posts on here commenting on the saviour "Munster Almighty" after tonight's performance against the Panfers
Here was the chance for Munster Almighty to show us how good he is, to take control of the Storm, in the absence of Pappy & Hughes.
I have already said in previous posts that Pappy & Hughes are the real stars of the Storm show.
How did Munster perform - well, the usually slick Melbourne machine ran out of oil, seized its bearings and ground to a shuddering halt.
That should get Anasta reaching for his pencil and rubber, and significantly reducing the numbers that he wants for Munster.
I am also predicting that "Munster Almighty" will do nothing in this year's Origin Series, unless someone like Ponga, Ben Hunt, Cobbo, or Val Holmes does some real damage in the first place.

There’s no posts because everyone knows there’s no truth to the rumours.

Did you see Anasta afterwards in the studio trying to make out his client was damn near the best player on the field? Beyond pathetic.

Oh yeah, Storm had a couple players missing. Boo hoo.

Yeah, but they all nod their heads in agreement, and say Munster is the saviour.
We also should be moving JWH, Keary and Angus on, to fit him in our team.
It's pathetic.

Munster is the best 5/8 in the league, full stop. Most teams would be lucky to have him. I would be quite disappointed in management though if there's any truth to the rumours, which I doubt. He's relatively similar in age to Keary with an attitude, a pre-madonna mindset who would demand way too much from any team apart from the Dolphins. Keary on the other hand is a Clive Chruchill medallist, vice-captain of the team who is an excellent locker room presence. He will be with us till his contract expires in 2024, at which point he will be 32 nearing 33, and Manu will probably take the 6 spot if he decides to stay.

So true, absolute clanger.

That's how i see it playing out with Manu in the 6
.
Matt Burton should be in the Cross hairs as he can play centre or 5/8 and can kick the ball.

SMH on this Keary Munster nonsense…

FOWL PLAY

Joey Manu is far more likely than Cameron Munster to be the Roosters’ next playmaker when Luke Keary, now 30, decides to call it quits in the coming seasons.

Keary is privately fuming that stories emerged during the week that he was about to be moved on and that he and coach Trent Robinson were butting heads.

Robinson and Keary speak outside of the team environment and Keary is highly regarded by Roosters chairman Nick Politis. There are not many playmakers in the competition who have three premierships under their belt.

Keary’s agent, Paul Sutton, has expressed surprise that Keary is also reportedly earning $1.3million a season. He is not a $1m player. He is still finding his feet after a knee reconstruction last year. As for being pushed out the door?

“No one from the Roosters has ever had that discussion with us,” Sutton said. “And Luke is settled in the east and loves the Roosters.”

I expect a big game from Luke today. He lifted last week and I think he’s finally found his groove. Hopefully if our forwards can lay a platform today he will show all the doubters what he’s made of. Mind you, so much depends on the pack doing their job.
ALSO HOLD ONTO THE BALL!

Anything over a 70% completion rate significantly improves our winning chances. We've had a number of losses this year with a completion rate in the low-60s.
