Rumours and Stuff

[TheCrowe]

so Radley cops it for organising the deal, what about the other players he supplied?

He would have to narc them. Bad look.

We took the game to Darwin for several years. Stupid heat, small local market with no chance of an NRL team in the future. Yet Perth is coming onboard, much further away, a much larger population than Adelaide which has an even larger population than Hobart. You say Adelaide is 100% AFL yet Tassie will most likely have an AFL team in the not too distant future.

Just want to clarify something regarding a replacement for Darwin (and it's not about your post per se, I just couldn't be arsed going and finding another one)...

We didn't directly just choose to take our game to Darwin and I don't think we would just choose to take our game anywhere else for that matter.
The NT government provided us with a sponsorship which was worth a lot of dollars and it was on the proviso that we play a game in Darwin each year, so we did.

If we are going to play games somewhere else, we should (and probably will) require some sort of financial incentive/sponsorship.

I assume the Chief Minister of the NT at the time, and life long Parra fan, Adam Giles, was the one and only reason we originally went to Dawrin.

Perhaps he could help us out again and have Gina Reinhardt throw us some spare change she might have laying around.

I'd say the Raiders have the best financial deal of any NRL club to play their games somewhere. They just have to play 12 games per year at the ground to get the money...

Hence the reason why they had a random pre-season trial at GIO this year because they were forced to take a home game to Vegas.

3. Tazzy is looking for a reason to hate AFL.

both sides of state govt are against the new stadium, they are gonna look silly playing park footy

opportunity for PVL maybe

 

[Glenneel]

Wouldnt be surprised if its Magic Rd, dont think we have had the last two (or is it 3?) home games up there

We are due..

The only team that doesn't have a home game up there is Broncos. Makes sense doesn't it (not)?

victor would be like signing watmong again.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

The Radley - Matterson player swap is on. You all know that it makes sense

Didn't Canberra play a game at Wagga for a few years.

Kidding yourself. Watmough was a fantastic player who was absolutely f**ked before coming here.

Radley’s form from the eye test has been huge at the end of this season. He is also a known intimidator and huge hitter and knows how to find the tryline.

He has had plenty of head knocks over the last 2 seasons which is absolutely a risk. But to suggest with 160 games at the Chooks and at 27 years old he is like Watmough is a very naive comment.

Maybe they are both a bit concussed and won’t actually notice?

Poor Broncos

All those disadvantages they get for a small tinpot club its no wonder they havent won a comp in 19 years.

Moretti played his junior league with Clovelly Crocodiles, the same local club as Roosters fan favourite Victor Radley.

Rare dual-code history for Roosters schoolboy star

A rare slice of schoolboy football history is Luca Moretti's reward for playing eight games in the space of 12 days, earning him call-ups to both the Australian Schoolboys rugby league and rugby union sides in the past fortnight.

Surely would be a first if we did sign Radley

2 x Clovelly Crocodile juniors on our Roster.

Interesting take. I had written the idea off based on the fact I thought he was past it, but I have not watched any Roosters games except Parra games maybe ever so sounds like we would be fools not to consider it if he is a possible Fox signing.

I've decided I like the idea. Throw him an Eel bone,

He barely missed a game before coming to Parra. Same with Foran. You can’t help bad luck.

I don't think a 4 year contract for a guy who was turning 32, and had played 280 FG games (a smallish forward so very high mileage) was ever going to turn out well. We did better with Beau Scott a year later, who was more of a leader and what we needed

Anthony Watmough to help Parramatta Eels improve as a physical unit, says Brad Arthur

Choc to change Eels’ physical culture

www.foxsports.com.au

In the coaches words Choc was brought in to change the physical culture

I would love to know what culture and players improved while Watmough was actually here.
