Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Perth is paying and having to pay big $$$.
I know one player who is currently on $350k but going to the Bears because he has secured a contract for $850k...

It's criminal the Storm were able to get him that cheaply in the first place.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Still take him

I would as a winger, but we are already covered for top 17 wingers next year.

I was ridiculed for saying we should sign Perdue for the last 6 months.

Who ridiculed you mate?

Kids a gun. We have management that cannot identify talent. But they can identify a RMC player. how the f**k MON is still in a job is baffling. The f**ker has no f**king idea. He’s built a shit team. Devoid of speed and talent.

I can't believe the other 17 NRL clubs didn't get him ffs! Their scapegoats all need to be sacked!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe we can take him for a year before he goes to the club he actually wants to go to long term

I'd take him for a year. You'd be mad not to.

IMO debuting players at 18/19 is a bad idea and at the Tigers, IMO it has stunted a few players careers. Id put TDS & Brooks in that category as well as Fonau Pole. Time will tell with players like Galvin & Makasini but I could make an argument that it would have been better for both of them to develop in lower grades for another year or so. IMO unless its a Fittler, brasher type player, its better to hold them back as long as you can.

When there is demand from rivals, most clubs don't get that luxury, including yours. You need some salary cap magic to pay a youngster like a top 17 player without sacrificing a spot in your first team.

I think your two lists are evidence of that. You list these players to make the claim that Parra have blooded 10 kids to Canberras 5

Because it was claimed that Canberra promote them younger. It's irrelevant how they turn out. The claim is demonstrably wrong. Go and harass Delboy for his implication that we should be debuting them younger. Did you skim everyone else's posts looking for mine to pick apart? Have you got him on ignore?

, but of those 10, how many kicked on to become very good/elite first graders? IMO maybe 2 (out of 10) whereas clearly Raiders have held some kids back (had gun junior sides) and Id say 3 of Raiders 5 have kicked on.

So you're saying that debuting them young didn't hurt their development after all? I agree. If you look at the Origin sides, nearly every player debuted much younger than the non-Origin cohort.

[Poupou Escobar]

[King-Gutho94]

Is he a better centre than Kelly?

I think he is

Each one struck me like a droning parasite, much like India

Taulagi is available for 2027. But he will get offers close to $1M. There is no doubt a bidding war going on right now.

This is one of your more obvious attempts to start a fight.

f**k you must be a lonely merkin!

Depends if we're keeping Will Penisini. If we are then it's Taulagi and Tuala. If Penisini is leaving then Taulagi and Ramien.
