Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

I think a Gus type “truth / assurance” should be called a guth (pronounce gooth).

 

[T-Boon]

It’d be nice if he went back to doing it. Why does he need to be on the board to help the club?

Agreed. He should accept his situation. He isn’t going to be the eels equivalent of Politis or Gould or the like.
He could still be a heroic figure in our fight to rise to dominance again.

 

[Wally21]

Every parra fan should listen to this

thanks for the tip. What a great podcast. I’m shocked at how well Carney speaks and interviews. And how nice is it to listen to a rugby league podcast that isn’t all betting or grown men acting like idiots.

I’d be flagging now like someone said earlier about Dogs players we want.
Maybe it’s an interest in:
Preston
Xerri

Mayybe Curran.

In that order? I’d grab the first two with open arms.

 

[parra-matters]

Imagine the Dogs were just making their offer to get us to overpay and now they’re stuck with him!

i think that might be exactly what happened.

Would love both Preston and Curran Stevie

Preston would be worth $700 to $750k I reckon. Curran probably $550 to $600k. Xerri about the same as Curran probably.
I'm guessing we've probably approached their Managers already "just to check out their willingness for a pay increase". Nothing rule breaking of cause.

Why hasn't Galvin been made official at the Bulldogs yet? Now I'm getting worried that we might have signed him. (or wouldn't it be just the best if Moses has shafted the Dogs as well and he ends up at the Roosters).

I cant stand that Andrew Webster but he has nailed Gus here. With these quotes when there is a big decision made at clubs he is at like sacking coaches he claims he has nothing to do with it.


“The way that he backs away from major decisions at the clubs he is at and when it all comes out I think is really weak,” Webster said on the Off the Record podcast.

“For a big, hard man of rugby league, he did it with (Anthony) Griffin, he did it with (Trent) Barrett and now he’s trying to do the same thing with Lachlan Galvin.”

“Gus own it, just own it. The line that he had nothing to do with it has to be the biggest load of bulls*** I’ve ever heard.

 

[Twizzle]

Nah mate. Gus assured us all that it wouldn't cause a problem for them.

well he'd know because he is the main problem

I wouldn’t want Galvin now. Too much drama around him.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

No, of course not. I was only joking. The Bulldogs have made their bed but I bet the Galvin camp is more than a little nervous. Gus has not done the boy any favours either imo.

 

[Stagger eel]

I have fond memories of his tenure but I think he really screwed up by signing Hagan and ultimately I think it was a factor in his downfall. That decision set us back a very long time.

eeerr not sure about that tbh...

other than Bennett, I'm not sure who would of got us a another level at the time, Maybe Hasler or Bellamy? but like Bennett they were pre occupied at the time.

I think Hagan done a reasonable job, not great but ok.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

i think that might be exactly what happened.

I don’t. No way would clubs make offers to players they didn’t want. The reputational costs/risks far outweigh the benefits. The idea is a fantasy.

 

[Stagger eel]

why don't you ask him merkin? ...

Nobody’s been ‘shafted’ unless they overpay for him. Missing out on a signing (or retention) is easy to overcome. Covering for overpaid players can last years.

 

[Stagger eel]

How wealthy is Roy Spagnolo? How much dosh?
Give me the truth not the gooth.

lets just say that he'd still have some loose change available if he bought our club.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Because whenever he shakes my hand I lose a finger

keep dreamin mate...

if there's a roughy amongst them I would say it's curren but only if he fell in our laps like most of our signings.
