Hey, My club rumoured to be very close / or have signed shane tronc from the NQC. I understand hes been playing quite well this year, solid if not spectacular,

Can any of you give me some more info of what I can expect.?

A 27 year old bloke called Shane who plays footy.

No you are wrong convict. He plays rugby league

Cheers, least hes not over the hill, dosent want his pension yet





Footy, we dont want a **footy player we need a rugby player?

















**soccer

Think he had big knee problems too.

Yet another aging injured footy player gets big bucks off the poms

Thanks for giving another of my fellow countrymen a big pension

good summary

not a bad signing for your club though

There's a rumour on our site he's coming to us.

I actually rate Tronc quite highly. typical rugged workhorse prop that every team needs. Will grind away all day and wear down the opposition so flashier players can do their stuff. Would be a good signing for any SL team imo.

ps yes he has been playing well for Cowboys

He'll be an awesome signing, and it confirmed on tonights Footy show, he is signing for Wakefield.

BUMP Confirmed tronc to wakey 2 yr deal www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/wild ... 05980.html Any more thoughts on the signing? Ive seen he's got the MOM last two games.

He is a good solid player.
He will be an asset to any Club.
He is having a great game against the Gold Coast Titans.
His team mate Thurston is absolutely carving up the Titans at the moment.

Good hard running forward, good signing for Wakey.

He's a great signing.


Its still 2005 right?

seems we're giving you a pension too aren't we

why is it everyone thinks tronc is pretty good player but not you?

It wouldn't have anything to do with your hate of the best rugby league comp in the world would it?

Troncy may have been reasonable 4 or 5 years ago.

Look, if he was still any good they would have kept him in the NRL.

Like so many other Aussies who come to play in the Super Duper League his best years are long past him.


It's strange how so many Aussies who can no longer handle the NRL seem to end up playing well for Pommie sides.


that speaks volumes

Trent?

Do you remember a centre/wing partnership of a certain couple called Hape/Vainikolo who were one of the best in SL, who wanted to play over here instead of the NRL?

Or Joe Vagana?

There's plenty more who could have easily chosen to play in the NRL but wanted to play in SL.

Hape and Vainikolo went to SL from bloody reseve grade you diot.

And Joe vagana...are you serious?

Do you honestly believe that fat b*stard walked away from offers in the NRL to head to England because he wanted to?


You are stupid. STUPID!

Fact is that 90% of the NRL players that sign for SL would still be 1st teamers in the NRL that season if they had stayed. Either that shows up the reliance on the NRL to have past it old timers in squads or you are talking Bull0x as usual!

If they could afford him Menzies would still be in Manly's 17, Fitzgibbon and O'Meley would still be starters at the Roosters and Tronc would still be a starter at the Cowboys next year.

I know, the Aussie coaches didn't recognize their obvious ability which is why they came here. Once proven they had many opportunities to go back to the NRL to play at that level. If they were reserve grade then they wouldn't have played international as there are plenty of decent NZ players about.



Why do you feel the need to insult him? Calling him a b@stard was totally unnecessary for a start, and yes I do. At the time he was sought after by clubs from both the NRL and SL, because he was one of the best props in the competition.

You're an idiot.


I don't talk about the game with idiots because you will never be able to talk sense to an idiot.


Same reason I dont talk to JB....idiot.

No I think you mean an idiot will never be able to talk sense, that's why you talk complete $hite most of the time.

Vainikolo was first team for canberra, we turned him from a ok winger/centre to best player in the world within 2 seasons, just shows what moving to a good league can do.
