Rumours and Stuff

[Glenneel]

Think we only have 26 players signed at moment (that's excluding MJ) so I reckon Roache will be promoted from development to top 30. Should have a fair bit left to sign decent centre of the calibre of Corey Allen although think he is asking too much. BA likes nothing better than a new year's sale bargain, only ever buys on Black Friday sales.

Could be that if we buy another quality centre then them and Opacic are centres with Blake possibly replacing Ferguson or Sivo particularly if one injured.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Allan would be great. He was superb at the back end of this year.

Also a very suitable fullback replacement if Gutho is injured/suspended/plays SOO again. Better than anything we already have.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Burns is more than ok. He dislocated his knee in Rd 8.

Ouch!

Nah on a few fronts:

• BA doesn't manage the salary cap in its entirety and I'm fairly certain that he doesn't unilaterally decide how much to pay a player.
• We were previously over the salary cap and performing poorly.
• We are now under the salary cap and performing strongly
• We are now also in a position where as a strong club we don't have to pay overs to attract quality players.

Yep merkins need to move on from the BA bashing. If you listen to the Mark O podcast, he’s very much the cap juggler and heads the retention committee. He said that BA and the team recognised our need of depth and he has delivered. Nice that he threw BA a few projects in Hipgrave and Cartwright!

But also why wouldn’t we? Can’t blame him for buying late for a Menko replacement when we can’t even cut him from the books yet, and apart from that our starters are already signed, so remaining signings are going to be bench options at best, may as well aim to get them as cheap as possible

Agreed, merkin.

 

[Twizzle]

I wouldn't be ok if that happened to me.

I would

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah but you're a legit hard merkin like Avenger. I'm more of a whiny little twig when I dislocate my knee.

It was a joke, chill out people and have a great new year, hopefully.

Daniel Alvaro a team man till the very end. Helped us get Evans off the books, then f**ked off himself. I hope we give him a try when we play the Drags.

 

[gaffer]

[84 Baby]

Don’t think it’s been Lodged with NRL

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Certainly too soon to roll out the welcome Matt.

I need as much notice as possible to stop detesting the guy. A couple of months should do it.

 

[Gary Gutful]

One he dons the Blue and Gold we will all detest him...
