Rumours and Stuff

[Legal Eel]

Oh yeah sorry, I should've said we lost Talagi due to nepotism

Talagi wasn't nepotism - it was BA's shortcomings as a coach.

You know about these shortcomings as well, but you are honour bound by the Troll Code to oppose anything said by the majority of Parra fans.

I think it was because you were bullied every day on the bus by someone throwing a Parra supporter's ball in the back of your head and you have vowed to exact revenge on Parra fans for the rest of your life....whatever gets you through your trauma I suppose...

So all the players we missed out on (including Galvin) are because of BA but all the ones we signed are because of Ryles? Do you read your shit before you hit post?

Do you read yours? I mentioned Talagi specifically. The reference to Galvin was to show that Blaize's management are not necessarily infallible themselves...but BA's shortcomings as a coach are obvious to the entire league world, even you.

Ok, I’m only going to allow myself to be pissed off about this until COB today. No point giving myself high blood pressure over it. Then I’m going to sit back and watch how it all plays out and hope like f**k it proves to be a master stroke. That’s it. Thankyou for your attention to this matter.

Thankyou for your attention to this matter.

If we had these 'genuine' TPA providers, why did we get busted paying people to redirect funds to players in 2016? Where were the wealthy fans doing it behind the scenes on our behalf?

lol we had your buddy Sharpie running the club. Are you shocked a failed plumber had no idea what he was doing???

You glugged his as well as usual.

I’m not really seeing a strong ‘combination’ with this post and the post it quoted but obviously Brisbane couldn’t afford him for next year because they currently have 3 premiership winning Origin halves.

The tried to fit him in but Andrew Gee was unavailable.

We need to be all in on this. Forward leader we need with Paulo at the end of his career.

saving money on 5/8th by developing within should help

Interesting that all the Eels top brass are over in England right now…

So the spin that we always just wanted him for a year so we didn't block pathways was just BS coverup that we got outplayed by the Broncos. No surprise there.

If you watch the Anasta ^^ Youtube / Podcast, I think that the truth (as always) is somewhere in the middle.

1. We were the ones who were going to sign him on a 1 year loan deal.
2. He then got released as a free agent.
3. Yes we were interested in a long contract, but he sees himself as a 7.
4. Broncos came in with a 7 offer after Reynolds retires and we get him for the original 1 year.
5. Ryles and Pezet are tight.
6. We are getting him cheap.

Were we outplayed or he went to play with the premiers to be their guy at 7 ?

Yes, he did a Blaize and went for the better club cos he can play his preferred position, but he and his manager still respect what we are doing.

Boondoggle is the appropriate word, they will obviously learn a lot at EPL clubs that have no salary cap. Expected nonsense

 

[Glenneel]

I have no faith in the decisions made by a sporting franchise that has won nothing in 39 years

Doing the same thing for 39 years has won us nothing. Doing something different maybe will! Might be the master stroke that nobody has thought of before.

we just spent millions on a COE, they couldn't be over there on fact finding mission to improve our brand new facilities could they?

Boondoggle - what a word! You learn something new everyday.

 

[Glenneel]

Gone for sure. He is too good for reserve grade and there is a lot of demand for halves now.

Possibly 2 spots opened up with Hands being released to continue to play overseas and Footy Dean also being rumoured to be released because of Pezet.

Yeah I hate when the club tries to think outside the box on things they can learn about running successful sports teams. We should’ve just driven half hour to Penrith to watch what they do

My mail is that we put an offer on the table for Pezet for 3 years and they looked at it seriously.

Brisbane came in with a better offer, but only starting 2027. We were asked would we consider a 1 year deal at a lesser price and given our hope for Lorenzo, et al, as future NRL players, we decided Pezet would be an improved short term solution over Footy Dean and Volkman.

Not sure that means we got played or that there is smoke being blown up anyone's ass with what is being said.
