These journos ring / tweet the player managers every day to get some sort of scoop info.Gotta laugh at these 'journo's".
Apparantely, Hooper must have 'sat-in" on the first official meeting about his (McInnes) contract situation. Noting, no contract offered and more 'exclusively' a preference to live in Sydney. And of course we are still chasing McCullough and the Tigers are still monitoring the situation.
Riveting journalism there!
As I stated in a previous post, someone is telling Porkeys.
When you think back to what Elliott said on radio the other day, something the 'Club' hasn't come out and refuted or back tracked on.
Back row issues sorted.
Bravo Millward!

Possibly explains why we need more size in our pack this year..Well they all look as if they could eat you for lunch , in fact the greedy looking chap on the bottom looks as if he snack-out the top fella’s thumb !
Bennett had to devise new attacking combinations and defensive structures to suit the skill set of the players he inherited. In addition he recruited players that had what he deemed necessary to do the job. In my book, Griffin is doing the same only he has a much bigger job to do.
Hey Wollongong is in Greater sydney dont you know. Covid rules said so.McInnes has a preference to live in Sydney? Well, Balmain is in Sydney, Wollongong isn’t, I think we are behind the eight ball here.
Where you a Magie or a Tiger TSP ?Hoops didn’t know Mary had taken that junket to the usa. I had to let him know.
Then in our negotiations with nofo he’s spreading rumours about the eels chasing him.
That cost a bit, I hope he got a backhander from the nrls most handsome winger. I should manage Hoops!
But Hoops needs to be loyal to the Tigers and put more bias in his stories.
An career ending injury to Laurie rumour may assist.
We know that if they aren’t tabling a deal to McInness, that can mean only one thing..

Hey, it could be worse..If there was a dislike button I'd be smashing it until I have no appendages left.
Yes, ALL appendages.
Where you a Magie or a Tiger TSP ?
Love your input.

Soft spot for the Magies me, I worked a second job at the club in the early seventies.Thanks for that! I try to enjoy the forum.
Instead of previously basket weaving in a suburb near Balmain, as a current residential Magpie, I now know how to steal an already woven basket. Easy street.
The new coaching arrangements at sgi is where the action is now. Hook is a very good coach, great win percentage, he has a good mind for the game. Who cares if he’s a bit of an introvert about footballing things? He’s not here to party, doesn’t care who likes him or not. He’s here to win football games, end of story.
And no big headed Gus Gold to do a review at the end of the year. That’s a bonus there and then. Where’s the DNA Gus? Did you eat it buddy?!
Matty Elliot worry’s me a bit as my research on the bloody hippies and Management by Design last year (that Mary and bj dragged in) uncovered that he had indirect connections with the hippy group. Crystal worshipping nonsense, long haired freaks. Going vegan and whole-cactus diets didn’t help the broncos. Trying to mind meld the ball and Friz’s hands with the line wide open didn’t work very well either.
These were all part of the corporate bullshitters that the club paid for with little or no dividend.
Remember when Mary started referring to players as assets and try’s became deliverables and all that hemp suited corporate psycho babble stuff? I’m sure my accountant got a half mongrel at the press conferences, but it bored me to tears.
Matty has already been quoted in the press about matters sgi. He’s spent a lot of time trying to lift up that f**king idiot bubbling alco Todd Carney as well.
He was just a lout. A Pearce without an immortal dad or whatever. A Josh Dugan without a fake mullet.
Matty is not a bad guy, not at all, but I’d restrict him to focusing on footy things. He wanders off a bit, gets delusional about himself running Citibank or something. Just keep him quiet.
Gentle is excellent, very experienced and composed. A Hook without the MAGA hat!
Miller’s still has a job and I take that as a major swipe against Mary. Mary killed Millwards signings, not miller’s fault. But even so, he’s lucky to get though the cull. A rat with a gold tooth, lol. The rascal in all this, kept his job as a 100 to 1 chance. I say good luck to him! I hope he signs a Suli but one with class, not a flaccid wingnut like the real thing.
So it’s quite a coaching team you’ve got and if they can’t fix the resolve of the group, I’m not sure who can!
No wonder the players are looking a bit anxious an edgy. It’s been awhile!
All good cc cheers. I think it’s possibly on this year, it’s going to be a wild ride. An awakening, let’s hope you guys don’t roll off the bed!
Back row issues sorted.

Agree Slippery.McInness played at lock and made NSW showing his versatility. At hooker he did not get selected because of that, so the more game time he gets at lock it will only improve his game. All coaches know he is a quality hooker and can probably slot in there anytime. How do you know McInness does not want to pursue the lock position and be play a Cameron Murray role.I think there is a lot we don't know but surely that would be something to consider for Cameron Smith. Journo's are just trying to stir the pot.
Plus when Bennett took over he brought in the experienced Luke Priddis. This Peats / McCullough talk maybe just that. Hook and Bennett are not much different in their way of thinking I am assuming when it comes to squad depth.
Agree Slippery.
Also the talk of the club “wanting” to get rid of McInnes is just that, Talk.
How do we know that McInnes isn’t unhappy about the idea of playing a Radley type roll of a hard tackling 13 with a passing game who can also play 9.
