Rumours and Stuff

Nobody. A few at 1.3
With endorsements tpas etc then probably Nathan and Ponga. Possibly H.Grant.

These are the three I would pick as top earners. Probably only Ponga earning it all under the cap though.

But if Dylan Brown is getting $1.3M the rest would be on $1.5M easy. New NRL clubs in the market means increased demand for the same level of supply. The result is inflation.

Make him wait till Orthodox Easter at least, FFS!

Good idea but he hasn’t made it to the shit list yet.

Don't tell him that. He might get the idea that you need him more than he needs you.
Hahahhaa

Marata is twice the player. Samrani is huge effort,great attitude but his lateral movement is poor and he hasn't got the explosive power of Marata.
Samrani to me is a great no 18/19 to have. With injuries he get 15-20 games OFF BENCH

I think peeps don't understand what i posted. I didnt say he is as good as marata, i said he will be used like marata so have to give him nrl experience in both positions

At the end of the day, most fans really like the energy and effort Bailey brings each game, but he’s not what you call a difference maker.not sure that Semrani is mulch different , maybe cheaper.

If the club can create room in the top 30 ( how that’s basically full for 2026 is another question given results) , then a couple of decent signings will be a springboard for next season, fairly obvious where the issues need improving, so fingers crossed there is movement in the roster .

Simrani is a shit maker

Marata is the finished product which is well and good but how often does he actually play. It seems he's way too often missing through suspension or injury.
Samrani has just commenced his journey. I see good signs with this bloke.

 

[Jake the snake]

Our current management are incapable of signing any difference makers. Their level of signings are Reserve graders, RMC and the juniors. When the hardsell comes on who would you Sign for GUS or Jim’s Mowing service and his mate the whipper snipper edge mate MON?

Our lot are not capable of selling the club, neither do they have the respect of the any players in the market. They are an embarrassment. but they do a good job on your lawns

I think he could become an OK Backrower. Seems a bit to sluggish for centre.

agree.
Marata was a bit clumsy at the start but boy I loved his game by the time he left us.
Samrani has for all his games apart from maybe 1 or 2 games performed very admirably.
Management from Sharks and Dogs have both spoken glowingly about him and have stated injuries are what have held him back.
Its also his first yr in 1st grade and not many if any are the finished product.
Let's see him go after another off season with us.
I trust Ryles here and as we have seen if he doesn't believe they are the right fit he will turf them pretty quickly.
Samrani will give 110%

Could I just get a bullet point recap on what is being discussed today (under 50 words thanks). I'll then chime in with my opinions.

- Samrani good
- Samrani shit
- 1.5 million
- Troll

 

[Gazzamatta]

Funny fu*ker.

Copy all the posts today and put them into co-pilot and ask to summarise into a paragraph.
Hindy111 has done a superb job with his summation

Gus mentioned on his pod with Mat Thompson today he hates Post Try Celebrations and trying to rev up the crowd.

In reference to the Tigers celebration,

And inferred that the NRL have encouraged & promoted it i assume through sportsbet for charity by allowing this nonsense to happen.

His sounding more cranky and miserable by the day.

The fact the Dogs are the biggest ones who carry on after a try is scored and he hasn't pulled up any of there behavior after a try is scored for 2 x years and now has a whinge.

What a Dribbler

The way he was still salty when Chammas was asking him questions on 100% Footy was pathetic.
