Rumours and Stuff

I dont trust Gus

He gets infatuated with players then drops off very quickly once he finds new toy ala Galvin.

I got told info tonight from someone very close to reed.

He isnt happy

Has been burnt bigtime by Gussy Boy
I’m honestly that off Gus and Dogs it’s not funny. Genuine question as I have softened slightly on my Rheed sssnce.

Having him start and swap with Smith could be a big step up. Assuming we don’t have a crack at the Tigers kid. Would anyone take him at the $650k for a 2 year deal? I’m not suggesting we block our pathways but the sell to him is he gets to stay in Sydney with his lovely GF and not even move.

Yes he’s been a villain but he’s not the first to be sold a dream by Gus and he won’t be the last.

He has a tendency to throw a penalty but maybe Ryles can work on that with a goal of a QLD berth their joint project?

He gives great service, defensively is very strong and plays aggressive, UP tempo footy which is us.

Thoughts?

I wouldn’t be against Rheed coming back. I do think him and Ryley are too similar though, I don’t think it would work.

I am stunned that your first reaction is to defend a lefty wokefest like the Offsiders …even when no-one was attacking the actual show.
I was actually having a crack at Ryan Hoffman.

Bullshit it’s not.

Does Smelly Undercarrige still host that joke of a show?? It’s probably more an anti RL show more than anything.
Its done out of a Melbourne studio with a heavily centric AFL presence but apprantley it's not an AFL show.


Lol that will do me

He goes best when he can run at a retreating defence. If the defence isn’t going backwards, he can either take the hit up himself or dump it off to his edge forward. But he absolutely shines when he’s making 15+ runs a game, like a fullback.
Cmon Pou, you were in the army. Not everyone is cut out for Officer School. Some blokes want to be led, Brown is 100% one of those.

Gee we have a decent winger pairing. Seriously decent.

When is Simonsen back seriously? I think he can cement himself as as speedster centre for a decent stretch if he can stay injury free.

Penisini next to Lomax is without doubt a better Penisini. Lomax looks on the replay like he is talking to him the whole time.

Russell you could argue has been our most consistent back. He is definitely not elite but effort and attitude are a 9.5/10 every week. He gives me Joel Reddy vibes who always busted his ass.

Saying all that we 100% have room for an elite outside back. A Joey Manu type centre would turbocharge that backline.
