Thanks mate..I do tend to miss things.. While we’re here were you born in ‘57

 

[WA Tiger]

Disregard it doesn’t matter.. That meet up was suggested in the past. I think me and 05 were the only ones that declined

 

[WA Tiger]

You’ve told us your age before it’s either 66 or 67… born in ‘57 would make you a Chinese sign rooster and combined with your Saggi Capricorn cusp you’d prob be a pretty powerful individual definately a social animal and prob a supervisor/boss man throughout your life.. I guess you don’t disapprove of that summation

That’s ok.. I kind of feel with some of the shit I’ve got to read on this forum, especially during quiet times. I feel like I’ve gotta give back. You know like Telethon

I certainly want to get to the 3 games at the 8th wonder & im eager to go watch us at comm bank as I’m yet to go there since it was rebuilt.Im quite disappointed that apparently they r no longer letting us stand in front of the Norman latchem Robinson stand where I stood for decades.The joy of watching the great Balmain sides of the 80’s every 2nd week at the 8th.Hope u get to a game soon Nutz & u walk out a winner.

Indeed that is a travesty that fans can't watch the game from there anymore. As that's been my spot for 20-odd years now. Absolute farce. May have to email Richo to voice our disapproval.

Geez mate unless you alert me with an @ I had no idea you were talking to me. It could have gone on for pages ha ha.
I'm not a dominant personality at heart. For example if you and I were at a pub yacking about stuff with mates I would be the one who sits back and listens more that lead a conversation.
As you know quiet well I don't take to being treated like a fool or belittled because I have PTSD and criticism is like having a red flag waved in my face.
I'm not proud of that and I actually see a shrink to help me with issues. It's all related to a serious near death experience and other tragic events in my life.
You may have noticed that I've tried hard to ease up on you and you too have made an attempt to do the same.
I like everyone to get involved in the forum and chat away giving opinions rather than just picking up on someone's errors or just posting links. It's the nature of the beast with social forums, everyone has their clicky way.
I know I sometimes come across as a know it all but I have played the game for over 20 years and have played representative footy. Sometimes I have to bite my lip and maybe I should back off on my posts a bit more. Quality not quantity as you have once quoted.
But when you near crippled with not much to do in life it's hard not to jibber. If everyone on LU were to put me on ignore I'd still be jibbering away.

Well apparently TPA's like the salary cap are heavily scrutinised, audited and and enforced You believe that don't you Dom,

What I believe is that the integrity unit and the salary cap auditors wouldn't know their arse from a wombat burrow on the side of a riverbank.

They've never caught anyone cheating unless they've been tipped off.

Absolutely useless

The Taylon May recruitment saga has gone silent?

The Taylon May recruitment saga has gone silent?

Well we are waiting for some cash.

We have made the application for Olam to be medically retired. That’s worth $600k and whatever we siphoned off for Klem.

Klems deal was big at the time, rumoured at $675 or something. We’ve never been good negotiators. Maybe we got 450 for him. The Dragons are really struggling up front.

So in the broad, we should have a decent war chest to throw into retention and maybe Taylan.

Taylan was supposed to be on about $600k. But I think some clubs are watching their seasons shrivel away and will throw something at him. The eels could really use him.

We will need something decent to throw at Galvin. The killer for us is his good performances at a tender age and hes only going to improve. I don’t want a JT situation.

I’m glad we have Latu to sober Galvo up. I think we need him at least on the bench sooner rather than later.

The other question is how long AD can last in top flight. I’d be be giving him some games off to help him with impact.

Tito is playing his way into folklore. I knew he was pretty dawn good but he’s exceeded a lot of my expectations.

With DCE moving.on from Manly I won't be surprised if they make a move to try and bring Lauta Fainu back to the club...could be a bit of high wire juggling coming up for Richo to lock either Fainu or Galvin in longterm

Geez Daz, you've read my mind. I was thinking the same thing. Manly and WT seem to have an interconnected subway for players to travel on the 144 bus.

They can have Latu only if they send Tommy turbo to concord

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

All the body language shows JL is keeping close to the Fainus as well as his smug mates.

Push comes to shove, I think they offer more as a combined unit than one Galvo.

Benji said the team is impressing him off-field which is a good thing. You can read a lot into that.

Discussion with ex rooster mate today centred around Terrell, Sam, Pole and Royce and how their games are developing. Definitely on the up.

It should be good for the boys to come home invigorated by a few wins. Everyone ready to back our side against a solid warriors outfit.

Red for Go!

Nah...hands fown rather Bula and his future

Turbo's a risk with bad hamstrings. He should have handed his whole salary back.

He's signed on here until 27, so unlikely.
Plus, I think the family connection will keep him here.
He's also on a reported $500k, that is a lot more than Galvin atm, which will make Richo earn his salary, to keep them both happy.

500k to play koe isn't bad

Agree and Gal would know exactly what he's on.

I think they signed him (on a package deal) and before they knew how good gal would go, plus they wouldn't have dreamed, they'd get Luai.
