  1. The Silverdale Phantom

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    They’ve got my money, the dog coughed up too. So long as there’s cash to gorge their faces on, they can get on with the serious business of pretending to run a footy club. If we can land May, I might go to members players day and ask Sully to sign my sneakers.
  2. The Silverdale Phantom

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    No flies on you, we are forever good friends. But in the cold light of day, if putting a competitive side together and running everything properly was 100, we’d be at 38 with the wind behind us. The club was dog paddling along a bit aimlessly after the dickheads left, but instead of throwing...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    No he got parachuted into a position well beyond his ability and intellect. If he was telling players what to do, they either didn’t listen him (bad) or did what he wanted (bad). On his watch, we got another spoon, we lost key players, virtually no one has improved and his preparation for our...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Some of the players got dragged in for being unfit after their only break while the coach took off on a family holiday overseas mid season. If that doesn’t stir up resentment, I don’t know what does. Long live the flabby five. If Benji wants to be a leader, he’s got to set the example 24/7...

    Our discipline was rubbish all year. No one learned anything. Coaching issue.
  6. The Silverdale Phantom

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Disagree on the thesis because players are more or less supposed to be implementing coaches game plans and it’s ultimately up to the coach to instil fitness and defensive guys. I think the load is shared 50/50. Exhibit A would be SGI who over achieved and had a great season with virtually no...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I think there’s a few extra drops to squeeze from the lemon. But I still have a good laugh when I picture the ambition of the dogs to over-smug them. Regrettably the Panthers era was indelibly tainted by the selection of Tyrone May a convicted pervert who abused women. And you revisit the...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Well my panther spy also told me this morning that In his view and even amongst some fair minded Panther insiders, that as a play maker, Luai was in fact being held back by Cleary. It wasn’t said as a slight on Nate, not at all, just a cold hard fact. That’s why it deserves some credence. And...

    Shhh… One of my panther spy’s thinks Cleary could be off to Rugby Union once smug is over. There’s still two years of smug left as I understand it. He’d do well there and enjoy many new experiences.

    And I can’t imagine anyone I know to be so afflicted and stuffed up by drugs that they would enter a pedo chat room. You’d start thinking of necking yourself If you got close to that kind of reasoning. Anyway, Ben had spoken a lot about his family’s best interests, they just seem to change...

    Well he just gets these really bad ideas into his head and follows through. It seems to me that those clubs who could actually use him, aren’t offering him what he wants -or he would have signed with them already. I thinks he is fair player but on the wane. And that simply means as time goes...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I stole the formula from @macnaz. Of the hundreds of footy classes he’s tried to hold, where we’ve all been at the back throwing paper aeroplanes, I recall just one of his classes where I sat in the front row and listened for a change. I lost track again when he started back on about this A...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    By my reckoning, 5 wins in the first 5 games would be otherworldly and could be a bad omen. Something dark, slimy and in the 8th dimension, a shapeless unseen evil suffocating the white elephant. The spell so alighted from the stormers or some other heartless team of grimace and perpetual...

    13th On the basis of @macnaz ‘s clutch game theory. 1. Enter last game of the season as unbackable favourites. 2. Play a side missing 4 of their stars at least. 3. Us at full strength less Api who is under suspension for something stupid. 4. Get flogged by 30+ mostly our own fault. Dropped...

    You’re right, grading him into Superleague at such a tender young age before he’s ready might ruin him. Bunt to England might result in us being chucked out of the Commonwealth. They’d be more grateful for 500 spent plutonium rods from Lucas Heights.

    Part of my recruitment theory is to matey-proof the side. Get enough good players to lessen the adverse impacts of poor preparation, Pinto planning, a bent bench, supine selections and a total lack of off field leadership.

    That’s a good point, hopefully there’s some symmetry. Another tactic would be to drag Jerome into the fight because May grew up with him. And I live deep in it here. All those smuggy lads, they argue and compete, but they are extended family, wherever they go. They’ve been playing park and...

    It’s also our responsibility to get their obligations embedded into their fat heads.
  19. The Silverdale Phantom

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    We desperately need May and another forward with some go. If we can achieve that, we might be able to call the off season useful.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Tell the kid anything to sign him up. As for for players failing standards, not surprised. We can’t demand a culture of excellence when the flag of the matey flaps freely over the white elephant!
