The Rumours Thread

Being tall doesn't mean you can catch under pressure.

No but it helps.

No but it helps.

How many really tall fullbacks do we have, not many !

 

[BLM01]

Seemed really Odd to me during the Flanno Pressor that he was rather comfortable with the Lomax Departure
Making light hearted banter instead of concern
Our Skipper didnt come out rushing with support either
Club should make every opportunity for a last ditch effort to sort out this mess and keep him before the ink is dry on an Eels Contract
Still believe we are Not being told the whole story

Lomax has done his dash with the club and coach and they wont be trying to talk him around..lets move on

 

[BLM01]

There is a rumour that The Mole may have finally written a good sports article in saying that St GI officials should sit with Lomax during the contract cooling off period and try to reestablish a relationship in the hope of keeping him at the club.

Wont happen OT too late, where was the Mole a few weeks ago saying the same thing when it was clear he was going after this year

The mole is a fraud.

Dragons unique offer to Turuva revealed

Sunia Turuva could be in a battle with Tyrell Sloan to earn the fullback position if he moves to the club.

So if Turuva can establish himself as a fullback he’s on $600,000. As a winger $450.000. Interesting. Apparently unique .
Maybe we should start paying players per game based on their match stats.

Annoying that we have yet another mooted signing playing out in the media again

....and with our history, we miss out. I thought that Flanno wanted to keep things hushed up and the signings then revealed once the player puts pen to paper?

Crap if he is almost a done deal does it mean we have been unable to lure Jordan Petaia from yawnion.

Dont mind if we miss this guy. Check out his affective tackle stats , no better than Sloans were last year. Sloan is special in attack and now he has a renewed intensive attitude he is a must to keep. But does Flanagan see his future as custodian or an outside back.

And even weirder to have the structure of the offer out in the market….
Just lets your competition know what they need to do to beat you.
Our negotiations are dead set amateur hour… need some business heads in there ffs

Again mate, the game is not played on the stat sheet. Turuva is an excellent player

Who says we're the ones releasing the info to the media?

 

[baggygreen man]

If it is about the "war chest $$$$" and adding $850 k to it to entice some marquis players then the war chest $$$$ could have also been equally enhanced by keeping Lomax and letting Hunt go (he asked often enough) and that would have been IMO a far more sensible outcome all-round.

 

[baggygreen man]

Turuva is an excellent player

Crappy defender, so not an excellent player.

Going to take a wild guess and say you don't watch him play

 

[Murfy]

Nu Brown signed for rest of season

 

[baggygreen man]

but lighter 88kg v 84kg.

Is that Sloans weight from last year or since he bulked up in the off season.
