Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[herbert henry1908]

He moved to NQL as a teen on his own to play a game he’s never played before. I think he’s mentally tough enough to deal with Blake moving on.

If it wasn’t a big deal I doubt he would’ve deleted the tweet. Always telling when that happens.

Plus we know from Daz that he’s super tight with Blake.

 

[franklin2323]

By that logic I'd be expecting us to release Nathan soon.

Despite what I think of him. No team will release a 22 year old Origin half whether his dad was coach or not

Deleting the tweet makes me think he was worried about the club seeing it. If he’s pissed off and wants to leave as you are suggesting why would he bother deleting the tweet?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Well said. When Luke Lewis left I stopped being sentimental about players. Neither Blake nor DWZ were involved in our winning run.

Both have been less than brilliant this year. In fact I would say both have been quite underwhelming.

Both were on pretty good contracts. I have no idea about what happened or what didn't happen. (I would suggest others on this forum would be in the same boat)

I care about one thing in regard to my footy team and club. That is winning games.

In my mind nothing else matters.

Our winning run of 4 games?

You can’t read anything in to 4 wins.

 

[betcats]

That’s because of who we are moving on.

Would’ve there been a single person on these boards that said Blake wasn’t right for the squad 3 months ago?

People wanting changes to the squad doesn’t mean they want just any change to the sqaud.

3 months ago he hadn’t played ten shit games of footy in a row.

You can’t read anything in to 4 wins.

But you can read Kikaus intentions from a deleted tweet that featured one character. Righto.

So the last 4 weeks mean nothing. Nothing at all. That will do me. Too funny for words.

Exactly.

We need to get rid of Mansour and Whare. Instead we get rid of Blake and DWZ. Our 2x best backs with the highest ceilings.

Lets assume this is the case. Atm we had Luai and Egan both on the bench. Put Peachey on there instead of one them. The team is stronger.

Ivan was playing DWZ as a winger. Lets say he was on $400k. Naden can do the job for minimum wage. Which gives $300k to spend elsewhere to strengthen the props

He'll be playing centre though.....

Style we have played has played a part in that. Again though who else would someone buy that will clear space? Mansour has a heavily pregnant wife. Maloney, Tamou and Whare have school aged kids. You'd think only ESL so that mid season won't be an option.

Leaves only RCG and the 2 that went

To be honest we need a bigger sample size than 4 games against teams missing players.

Despite what I think of him. No team will release a 22 year old Origin half whether his dad was coach or not

It was a dig about people saying it's ok because they've not played great.

 

[franklin2323]

No one over here will take them
Though

 

[OldPanther]

We got told Mansour had options but ended up staying over Sivo.

No one will take our shit players. So get rid of the good ones instead? Really?

It just creates more holes in our roster

I’m not saying he wants to leave immediately or anything.

I just think the fact he put it out there and then deleted it means there’s a fair bit of emotion involved here. You’re right, he probably didn’t want to upset the club.

 

[herbert henry1908]

But you can read Kikaus intentions from a deleted tweet that featured one character. Righto.

No, I can’t. I can speculate though, which is all I was doing.

 

[herbert henry1908]

No.

It means you can’t read too much into Blake not being part of that team. That’s what you were doing.


It’s called a post hoc fallacy. X followed Y, therefore X happened because of Y.

Like Dogs getting rid of Klemmer? It happens all the time to get the most money off the cap

 

[herbert henry1908]

3 months ago he hadn’t played ten shit games of footy in a row.

10:shit games in a row means cleaning out half our squad.

 

[franklin2323]

And Parra is fine for wingers and Dogs have no money
