Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Im ok with that

ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Your all looking at it wrong.......

Ryles is using him as a stop gap.

Big Dick Ryles doesn't get played..

Is it possible there's such thing as a mutually beneficial transaction?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This deal is a cucks fantasy.

it’s like having a 12 month engagement. You get to hold hands, pay for all the dates and pay for her car when it shits itself. If you are real good you might even get a kiss on the cheek and blue balls.

But once those 12 months are up she runs off and f**ks the rich good looking merkin with a glorious head of hair.

That's for merkins who come through your system and leave before playing first grade. Pezet will definitely be doing some f**king in his 12 months here. We can use the time to cruise for some other scrubber.

 

[Parra Pride]

Part of me thinks this is media beat up to try and wring more money out of us for a long term deal. Either way we should be telling Anasta to get f**ked, if we don’t you can only take it to mean Ryles has already put a line through Papalii as our #6.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I get that - Brisbane is 1000% a better prospect than Parra - which is why we know we are just being used for 2026 for the $$ and first grade reps - which is why it is a dud deal for us. Great for Pezet, great for Anasta, great for Broncos.

We will only be paying him for 2026 so why expect more? If he leaves a better player, he will be worth whatever Broncos dollars he ends up getting.

 

[Eelogical]

To be fair we have heard a lot from Ryles this year about him driving recruitment. If he accepts this deal then he has just been blowing smoke up our arse.

If true.

 

[Pazza]

What makes this even worse just listening to Michael Carryannis on SEN now and apparently we actually wanted to sign Pezet on a long term deal but he has chosen to go to Brisbane instead.

Yet we are still happy to just take him for one season until he gets to his preferred destination.

How embarrassing is that…

Why don't we just offer a 3 year deal and if he isn't keen. Just forget about it, we don't have to do him and the broncos a favour.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

he's the second most capped player in the history of rugby league, and played 30+ rep games for QLD and Australia.

If you are comparing that to Pezet you are a dead set simpleton.

What has any of that got to do with combinations? Hunt had played five games with Walsh before this year, zero with any of the other spine players.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

we have 2 centres that wouldnt make any other starting 13 in the comp.....

They are at least first graders and both better than Papalii.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We need to give him time. There is no one better than Ryles. I reckon we give him at least another 9 years.

As long as the team wins enough games, I hope we do.

 

[King-Gutho94]

As long as the team wins enough games, I hope we do.

6 wins should be enough for Ryles just like it was in 2018 with the roster he has next year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cause it cheapens the jersey

That would explain why they're 25% off.

 

[Eelogical]

That's it. I've picked Joash for my player to follow next year after following Charlie Guymer this year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ummmmmmmmmm you might want to have a chat to Ryles

Do you think Ryles wants to constantly prepare for the future? 2026 is time to start winning.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Upon further thought..

"If True" The Pezet signing still makes no f**king sense..

That's 25 games that another player could be getting valuable game time as a starting 5/8.

Should we sack Junior Paulo so he doesn't take any valuable game time from forwards who will be here in 2027?

 

[hineyrulz]

I know enough to know the club is happy with it, and the benefits are obvious. He will improve our team next year, in our weakest position. We can worry about 2027's roster in just over a week.

Of course you do.

The chair awaits!!

 

[TheCrowe]

Of course you do.

The chair awaits!!

That is his chair.

 

[Eelogical]

Of course you do.

The chair awaits!!

Do you mean Old Sparky?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How is it win-win though Pou?? we are getting a non-proven halfback to play 5/8 for one season. I honestly don't think its a sure thing that Pezet does make us any better, I still don't see how he compliments Moses whatsoever.

He is a better 6 than any of our other options. That's all that matters. He's a stop gap/

If we had of finished 5th or 6th this year and were just off the top teams and Ryles went and brought in an old head who was a proven winner who he thought could help us knock off a comp in one season then I completely understand the mindset. Like what the Roosters are doing with DCE (even though I don't agree with that call). All we are doing is getting another young guy to replace another young guy and helping him develop into a first grader for Brisbane.

You need to forget about how Brisbane might benefit. It shouldn't be a factor. Like picking Talagi in first grade last year. Without his 11 tries we might have won fewer games and run last.

We arguably would have probably won more games this season if we had of kept Gutho/RCG/Carty/Matto in our team this year BUT Ryles did the best thing for the team moving forward by f**king them off and he was 100% right in doing so. This to me is just a backwards step in so many ways.

We got rid of those guys because we didn't need them. I doubt we would have won more games. Maybe Gutherson would've gone as well as Iongi, but we had the chance to get Iongi this year. Gutherson left because he wasn't going to play fullback, not because we didn't want him to stay.

How do you think the players are going to feel with this dude rocking up knowing he is going to the Broncos in 12 months time?

I reckon they'll be professional and see him as a player who will help them win more games for a year.

it hardly sets standards or helps to breed long term culture. How often do you see teams struggle after a key player has signed to move clubs over 12 months out? there is a reason why so many are given early releases in these situations and that's when they are already in their system.

I'd say that's because the player doesn't want to be there. In this case we know Pezet wants to be at Parra for 2026. Remember we knew Papali'i, Mahoney, Kaufusi and Niukore were all gone by the start of the 2022 season but they still played good footy and got us deep into the finals.

I actually think you make a lot of sense SOMETIMES but I think you seriously will do anything to defend every decision the club makes, is ridiculous bro.

I'm not defending it, I'm explaining it. You merkins haven't even come up with an alternative explanation other than lOl RyLeS iS cUcK!!

If we win the comp with him next season I will happily eat my words and build a dedicated shrine to him in my household.... anything but though and this exercise will have been a complete waste of time.

I will be happy every time we win. You do you.

What the people buying the “spin” that this is a good thing as it allows Lorenzo to develop and not block his path are overlooking the fact we put a 4 year deal in front of Pezet. We wanted him long term, he said no, he wants to go a better club.

we didn’t give a shit about Lorenzo’s path being blocked until 2029 - so that tells you what you need to know about the clubs vision.

Lorenzo is plan b, and spinning it to make him look like plan A because we failed yet again to get the big fish we wanted doesn’t pass muster for anyone with a brain.
