Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

No wonder Dogs are a joke! $700k for Eastward, a player only worth about $300-$400k max. Imagine what Graham and Klemmer are on then. And Mbye, a player not much above park standard, on $700k, about the same amount as Moses. I can guarantee Moses has had more try assists since at Parra than Mbye has had all year.

Mbye was very good last year. I wouldn't put too much stock in the form of any 2017 Bulldogs. They are down across the board.

BMoz has the turning circle of the Queen Mary now days.

I'd still be trying to get Semi back after his Union season is over.

 

[T.S Quint]

What about Tolman? Or is he just another Alvaro?

Like you said, he plays the same kind of game as Alvaro...but Alvaro is younger, cheaper and possibly better.

We also have Mannnah who can do the grunt work. If we sign another prop, I would hope it's someone with a bit of impact and an offload. We already have the worker-types.

A bloke who made his NRL debut at age 18 is a pretty fair bet to make it in the NRL.

How many blokes in the past, who make their NRL debut at 18, who don't make another appearance in the NRL for at least 3 1/2 years, end up making it in the NRL though?

Ask Kelepi maybe?

He has history of violence. He may do something silly in the off season.

I know some bloke who was a world beater, left league for 11/2 yrs and came back extremely poor and only a shadow of his former self. So a bloke who has only played 1 game in 3-4 yrs will definitely make it eh?

I one of those two blokes was asking $1m+ per season. The other chap is at the other end of the salary spectrum.

Does it matter? He is not even 22. Eleven players who have played first grade for this year's likely minor premiers made their debuts in the year they turned 22 (or later). This includes Stimson, McLean, Kaufusi, Jacks, Glasby and Kenneath Bromwich, who have all played a dozen games or more this year.

As long as a dude is young his body can cope with time out of the game. And it's not like Meehan has been cycling around Brisbane knocking on doors. He has been knocking merkins out instead.

f**ken hope so! The game needs more personalities.

Kenneath

I find that funny. Don't know why.

It's something to do with the frequency of the a in Kenneath. A tribute to Michael Stipe.

I still have that track as a single laying about somewhere. Love it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I find that funny. Don't know why.

Yeah me too. That's why I wrote it out instead of calling him Kromwich or something.

I reckon it rhymes with 'beneath'.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Oh and who around here is pinning their hopes on Meehan? Show of hands please.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Yeah me too. That's why I wrote it out instead of calling him Kromwich or something.

I thought so.

 

[Tommy Coco]

Oh and who around here is pinning their hopes on Meehan? Show of hands please.

Count me in. I reckon he has something.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm hoping he turns out to be a low risk, high reward crowd favourite.

That would be absolutely fantastic. Me too.
