I'm guessing Robinson has some dirt on Parker for him to be kissing his arse so strongly. As for the Mole, if you're too gutless to put your name to the garbage you spread then you're not worth shit.

Any concrete evidence to back up your claim Reyno was thinking about moving North? (Just a feeling doesn't qualify as actual evidence)
I have read on other sites that Reyno wanted to move to QLD when his career was over and that's probably why he chose the broncos over the sharks, his house in Roseberry is now listed for sale in September.

Exactly!!! I'd been trying to preach this throughout the whole Reynolds saga. Not once has Solly come out and said "we're only going to offer players over 30 one year deals from now on," not once.

It's made up BS in my opinion. As you say, it will be a case by case thing.
Solly said to me when I spoke to him on the phone and my old man that due to the club being burnt re the Sam and GI situations that we won’t be offering over 30 year olds more than 1 year deals and he said the same would be happening for Cody and he was confident Cody would accept it. We had a phone conference with him earlier this year.

It was obvious to us he was lying. Lying to your diehard members is not a good thing and he didn’t seem to speak too highly of Adam. Anyway Solly will see next year when we slide.

You what? You rang him? 😂😂
so you must be aware that he would have been humouring a couple of weirdos & just blowing them off to get rid of you?
I don’t even believe he told you anything like that, he’s a smart bloke & a lawyer & there’s no way he’d be telling you private stuff about certain players
Its obviously common knowledge that the club got messed around with Burgess & Inglis but that’s only because they were retained on big money for multiple years
I can’t even imagine how awkward Solly would have felt trying to satisfy you & your old man, a pair of jibbering buffoons wanting answers based on emotion
And now you suggest he’s lied? You’re a goose son

So the club definitely said they won't offer over 30s more than one year and therefore they are NOT being honest if they are preparing to offer Chee Kam more than a year. Looks like someone owes Botany B&B an apology. Thanks for clarifying R20!

No, the club definitely didn’t say anything of the sort
If you can find a quote in the media I’ll think about it, until then it’s a perfect example of people’s vivid imagination becoming fact when it’s mindlessly repeated over & over

I have no doubts @Rabbits20 has spoken with Solly, no doubt about that at all. I remember talking to him all about it via PM at the time.

However, I'd take a comment like that with a grain of salt personally. He was probably just saying stuff like that to please you at the time and to justify Reyno departing. I highly doubt he'd be having contract discussions like this with a random member who isn't involved with the inner workings of the club. I mean no offence by that either bro, don't take that the wrong way. You get what I mean.

Anyway,

This is sad. really sad actually. Cecchin is the best in the NRL in my opinion.

I get what you're saying Callmack. I just think Backfromthegrave referring to R20 and his dad as weirdos and jibbering buffoons is WAY out of line. This guy has to pull his head in or piss off.

I'm fully prepared to accept R20s version of events. He has credibility around here, you have none.


You can accept what ever you want, makes no difference to me 😂
I can’t imagine looking so stupid accepting his wild, imagined story

those are the first descriptions that would come to mind if I was Solly
Why would you get on the blower thinking you’re owed an explanation about signings & retention? What kind of deluded sense of importance makes you think you’re owed any information like that? As if you’d know better than the staff who work with the players nearly every day & plan very carefully how the squad will take shape?
I can only imagine how pained Blake was to do it, full credit for treating them with some kind of dignity
