Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

So tiresome, so much wasted energy repeating the same narrative. Been involved in rugby league for along, long time and if you don’t win the forward battle , you can’t win. Even Gibson had to find muscle in the middle , and that was with the backline of the 80s.

One coach calls it chasing the collision, and you can’t help yourself. Why do you think Uncle Wayne played the Burgesses and smashed it up the middle, same idea . Find another way to complain and whinge, then again that wouldn’t be you

Agreed. I think also "chasing the collision" applies to defence as well. You move up and hit them in numbers to cease momentum, rather than be passive and wait for them to run into you / over you.

I’m just a fat, lazy miserable fan who just has his opinion and not much else.

Like the crazy uncle at Xmas, we still love ya mate.

When the f**k did floor coverings get a pronoun?
An old fart like me cannot keep up with all this mod shite.

What sort of rug are we talking about? The kind a bald man wears on his head? Better not be, or there'll be hell toupee

Gender fluid rugs are all the rage mate, it’s 2021 FFS!!!

The fact we now have an old man as our hooker untill the end of 2025 suggest we do not rate Hands or Schneider highly.

Or Hodgson is the style of player we needed but never available and now can offer a year or 2 with mentoring the above mentioned?

 

[amitropo]

If we can have Canberra paying half his wages in 2022 I'd be looking at having Hodgson now and boning Mahoney to the Dogs immediately.

I just can't stand the little turncoat and don't want him polluting our new fantastic looking jersey and his bullshit passion for our club.

Just f**k off.

I have that feeling that Eels, dogs and Canberra doing deals and waiting for all to fall into place. Starts with Cotric.
Release Mahoney, get Hodgson and simmonsen now. Leaves us with Hodgson, let it Rein, Roche and for desperate times rankin and Stone

Put your feet up for the rest of the year. You’ve earned it.

Eels fans unhappy with a signing? That is unheard of!!!

Chasing the collision is about mindset. Knowing league is an intense physical contact sport, it’s about preparation and embracing the fact you’re going to getting f**ken poleaxed.

Do you not think we need more experience in the squad? The only 200 game player we had this year was Ferguson and he's gone. We would have the least experienced leadership group in the NRL.

NRL experience

Parra: Gutho 139, Moses 172, RCG 155, Paulo 177, Matto 120. Total: 763 games

Penrith: Cleary 120, JFH 134, Yeo 173, Leota 105, Luai 65. Total: 597 games

Not unhappy but puzzled. Did Ennis say to BA that we need the effect he had on the Sharks at the back end of his career?

So many questions. Is BA scared of that time when we had De Gois out and Kaysa as the only hooker when Mahoney was coming through? like Why?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

interesting that Hodgson/Simonsson have been announced, but Rein hasn’t.

TCT haven’t made any mention of Rein at training (not that means he isn’t there)…..and he isn’t in any training photos…

So has he signed? Or even training?
