The Rumours Thread

[KogarahWarrior]

Because he's played a lot of first grade and they are a young, inexperienced team. He's been playing very well at fullback in Cup.

He really has been good at fullback in ressies. I know he grew up playing fullback too to my knowledge in the juniors. On the other hand his brother Max, who is off contract, really hasn't been impressing at cup even though it's unlikely another club will sign him

 

[I'm Hornby]

The problem with Rava this year is he has not been up with the play (or in position) in certain attacking moves and / or hesitating in contesting kicks. He is mis-reading or not concentrating.
It cant be his defense or hit ups from the backfield on Friday as Newcastle tries all came down the middle

Ravalawa has been one of our best players in previous years and it's sad to see him regress under this pathetic excuse for a coach.

Rubbish in respect to regresssing. He has been rocks and diamonds for years but he has kept his spot because his strength is his bulldozing ability from the back and near the tryline. No coach has found someone better or fixed his flaws thus far.

 

[TheRev]

A lot of it is lack of competition, we don't have the Schiller or bostock (or even Allan) quality in waiting that are demanding one of those outside backs jerseys.. And the kids in rumble5and Williams r so young... It makes the coaches job near impossible to hold blokes accountable...

We have Sfinau and TuiP and I think they will get a game at some point soon, may well be thru injury and it may well be this week actually with birds injury.. I dont think either player is any better than ravalawa.. But.. If they impress in their opportunity then good luck to em, put some pressure on.

Who would you rather have as coach? Steve Price, McGregor, Hook or maybe Dean Young is your saviour in waiting.

Scott Fulton apparently is the one that was leaking all the dirty laundry out of Tigers and Manly. Benji and Tim did not see eye to eye with the guy so there must be something there Saints need to clarify with before they go for him? Was he also sacked from Manly or poached by the Tigers?

He does seem to have a record of attracting good talent though and good knowledge of upcoming juniors. Maybe his relationship with player managers is very good where as Saints is poor at best. From memory I hear they hated dealing with C.Young, then he left and Millward I think took over and it did not get any better.

Flanno would have a good idea on what type pf bloke he is so I assume he would have some input into why Saints are interested.

 

[Dragon David]

I think that the Dragons need to get someone who can get some decent players over the line for us and if Bobby's son Scott is the man who can do this, then I have no problems with him being signed up for the job to recruit guys that need better "encouragement" to join us.

 

[TheRev]

I think if our roster was decent we would not need a guy like Fulton or tartak etc, that was likely flannos experience in the past... But I think the situation is dire enough that we need every edge we can get and we can deal with the fallout later.

Scott the latest Fulton to leave Manly, set for Tigers

The most notable Fulton left at Manly is set to exit the NRL club with recruitment boss Scott...

www.canberratimes.com.au

The Fulton's and Des Hasler were in a Manly power struggle and eventually Scott was pushed out.

Then he was appointed by previous Tigers management led by CEO Justin Pascoe without the knowledge of then coach Tim Sheens and assistant turned head coach Benji Marshall. - So there was another shit fight as Fulton didn't have support of the coach/es

By all accounts he is well connected but can he avoid a war at the Dragons?

I'm Hornby might be death riding Flanno, hoping he fails and then we can reunite Hornby and Deano as 1st grade coach of the Dragons. His Forum name is "I'm Hornby" after all.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Lest face it, money hasn't got players over the line and Flanno still needs to coach the team.

We need to find someone who has a relationship and ability with both players and their managers to sign a "big fish" with the Dragons as the club sits know.

We can't keep waiting to jag a big name.

 

[VodkaSaint]

This team would be a different Beast had that Kings owner bought into it, but naaah keep it in the family they said

He is actually the real Deano trying to throw us of the scent with the Hornby name

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

I dont think we are too far off achieving 5 wins from 8 games

that would mean win 3 in a row next 3

well except that we have Roosters and Warriors as two of the games in the next 3 games

maybe the Tigers game next will be our platform to double on belief ?

the media talking them up

we cut them down

Scott and his sister Kristi were apparently responsible for recruitment and pathways and for the strong Polynesian (in particular) roster that Manly have built. As with the Bulldogs, there are factions at Manly and both were eventually pushed aside by the woke ownership and we saw how damaging the rainbow jersey was to club unity. Bob Fulton would be spinning in his grave.

"Woke ownership"?! If you are talking about the pride jersey then you can take a running jump. Those same players who had a moral paroxysm over wearing a pride jersey didn't object to wearing a jersey with the name of an online betting agency emblazoned on it. They're not supposed to like that either.
But, I guess, if you're gonna have standards they may as well be double standards.

Go woke, go broke !

"Woke" is just a word that right-wing nutjobs use to describe anything they don't like or take the time to understand.

Reading and understanding things is woke these days. People just let sky news and fox tell them how to think.

Im one of those “right wing nut jobs” you refer to. I spend hours reading and do understand woke is a disaster for every country that has embraced it.
