Rumours and Stuff

Zero need for the NRL app.

unless you're with Telsta who end up always giving you a free NRL pass and don't count data you use for streaming

The free pass is only for mobiles. Watching a game on an iphone is fine if you are out and about only.

What about if we made everything bigger?

I mean, if we accept that bigger forwards magically win competitions, why not have bigger forwards AND bigger backs? You'd be guaranteed to win! Have a 120kg fullback and 150kg props, boom, premiership!

But then Melbourne will come back the next year with a 150kg halfback and 200kg props and we would be loosers again. LOOSERS!!!

As long as we're not deadshit loosers I can live with it tbh

You're misrepresenting him! There's a magical mark where props go from being shit e.g. Alvaro to being fat shit e.g. Paulo and that mark is where all the great game breaker props that every other team has sits. We don't need bigger props, we need specifically bigger props.

And you say we need a 120kg fullback? Are you suggesting we re-sign Hayne then?

I was thinking Inglis tbh. He'd have to be at least 120kg after doing nothing but eating KFC all year.

We should also bring back Tame Tupou....he was 120kg when he was fit, imagine what he's at now! Premiership winning winger for sure!

The Curtis Rona thing seems quiet. Maybe it was bullshit.

 

[Bazal]

I bet we DIDN'T EVEN f**kEN TALK TO HIM FFS!

that should free up some more room in their salary cap

And if you have a tablet plan as well.

Even then you don't get full screen on your tablet !

Gower re-signs for one year according to members email

Love it. Never lets us down.

I must admit that is f**king annoying!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well that's a tough question though. As with a few positions there are probably a lot more than 16 players who are good enough to fill that bottom half.

Exactly. Is there really a '32nd best winger' in the NRL? There are merkins who are automatic picks and merkins fighting for a spot and merkins whom their coaches hope they don't have to use.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But we didn't win the gf or look close too. And we won't with our present props. Isn't that why we are playing in the comp, to win it? Or did we win something, anything, finishing 4th? Apparently you're happy finishing 4th, I'm not. I want to win the gf some day before I die!!!!!!!!!

Better go forward would help obviously, but I reckon what brought us down in the finals was lack of experience in big games, especially from our halves.

You'll note we went a lot better than Junior Paulo's team.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Pou you really completely miss the point, we DIDN'T WIN against those teams when it mattered. But you're happy with a 4th and NEARLY beating the 2 gf teams.

We didn't beat these two teams who had big forwards (and Cows pack will be even bigger next year) but you insist that a small pack is the way to go. History shows that usually the teams with the bigger packs tend to win the gf, just look at recent history.

Who insists that a small pack is the way to go? I'm excited about Kane Evans arriving. He's a lot taller than that nugget Junior Paulo.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Is this the first of our 4 big signings? Sigh, yawn.......really exciting news.

If you think a club like ours - without TPAs - is ever going to buy a premiership you're off your head. We need to build to it, and then hope for some luck here and there.

If you don't like following an underdog you need to pick another team.
