Arthur's wins until 55%

Looks like BA won't be getting the dream Perth role for a return to the NRL anytime soon...

NRL set to walk away from Perth expansion plans

The NRL is next week expected to announce its decision to shelve plans for a 19th team in Perth, dashing the dreams of North Sydney Bears fans yearning a return to the top level.

Maybe Bea can get the PNG gig, i hear shoes aren't as huge up there. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

His team had a bye weekend, so maybe BA fitted in a quick trip to Bali... and a PNG job interview via Zoom?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Who gives a f**k about BA?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He'll be back. And in greater numbers.

 

[the phantom menace]

BA's putting in the hard work to line up the Perth job... gee, he's not short of a quid - investment houses in three states, while living overeas!

What is your point?
Is he just good at investing his own money?

You really have comprehension troubles sometimes....

As above, the points were
a) he's talking himself up in the article to maximise his chances of landing the Perth gig (and good on him), and
b) he's not short of a quid having the three investment houses in Oz while he works in England.

In answer to your apparent point... then yes, he probably is good at investing his own not-short-of-a-quid money, during these times of high mortgage rates and cost of living crisis etc.

 

[Suitman]

Jealous much?

 

[the phantom menace]

Of your regular lack of comprehension...? Definitely.

 

[Suitman]

Ok then.
Why raise the issue of his investments then?
Him living overseas has nothing to do with investments he's made in the past, yet you make it out as so.
And why is he being "not short of a quid" an issue?
He has been paid market value for his chosen profession for years.
Whether you like that or not is your problem. Not his.

The lefties criticism of anyone’s financial success is so on course.

BAs wife is from WA, so in a sense it enables the Arthur’s to share some time with that side of the family. Phantom if you were a first grade coach then I’m sure you would look to invest your income wisely, don’t be so envious.

f**k... I made two points in one sentence above a linked article. Ignore the main one, the second one was simply a quick reflection in response to his disclosure in the article about having three investment houses.

Him living overseas has nothing to do with investments he's made in the past, yet you make it out as so.
And why is he being "not short of a quid" an issue?

Make it an issue? It was a throw-away comment bro.... But seems to be an "issue" to you? Maybe it's time to check the dosage on those blood pressure tablets.

He has been paid market value for his chosen profession for years.
Whether you like that or not is your problem. Not his.

The point is I don't like it or not - I'm completely neutral about the matter/revelation. So in this interaction, I think we can clearly see where the problem lies...

No criticism was offered... apart from in Suity's mind it seems.

Yes, as BA stated in the article for anyone who read it. No envy posted or implied... apart from in Suity's mind again, it seems.

 

[Suitman]

Yes, I'm sure we all can.

 

[the phantom menace]

Lol, indeed. Is the next usual step where you claim I'm targeting you, simply by replying to posts where you've chosen to quote me...

 

[hineyrulz]

Brad was that upset that he was missing Sydney he’s moving back to Perth instead.

 

[Suitman]

No.
Just calling you out for targeting BA and his private financial situation, which is no one's business.
No different to others calling out Albo for purchasing a multi million dollar property on the Central Coast.
Yet, you've done the same.

Targeting? Nonsense.... Commenting dude - there's a difference. That's probably the worst attempt at slander I've read all day - and that includes reading some of Dutton's campaigning quotes.

But you seem geared up to have a fight, so you do you. I hope the rest of the long weekend goes smoother for you...

 

[the phantom menace]

Haha, yes so it seems.

I reckon he's made sure the place has a room (floor?) each for Jake and Matt too, when they sign to play for the Bears.
