De Gois Rumour

[Pika]

No need to apologise.

He could well have been back home by 2.30-3.00 as the players get a few hours to themselves after video and meetings.

Could still have went down I guess, just not at 1.00.

 

[Karmawave]

I think an apology is in order

I did say unless he was physically with De Gois or knew players who were?

Team was together before 1pm as Pika stated.

Given the way players ( and some coaches ) go about their business behind the backs of their peers, it wasn't a slight against Pika at all - but simply saying that usually if things are going on, the people closest are often the last to know.

No better example than the Smith situation.

I personally don't think there is anything to the rumour anyway. Sounds like a bit of a beat up.

 

[Pika]

All good mate, I knew you were not having a go.

I am learning the hard way what 'professional' sport is all about to be honest.

It's sad hey.

 

[Pika]

It is.

But I am hardening up to it all.

Apparently Kimmorley said Degois is leaving for Bondi next season n 2SM today. he is contracted for three years. If we let him walk out we may as well fold the operation up.

Laughable if true...

Only positive I can think of is if Buderus decides to come back for 1 more year, but then we still need to find another hooker..

How is that a positive? Bringing him back would be a major step backwards, as will letting DeGois go. Even though he hasn't even been here for a year, it would be akin to when we let Kennedy go, such is the quality of talent DeGois is.

I said it would be laughable if we let him go...

How would Buderus coming back be a positive? I f**kin love the bloke

Oh some do - nuffy rejects who can't play for anyone else.

Your calling De Gois a "nuffy reject" now?

 

[voltron]

he'll say anything to promote his arguments

Oh, did I miss the part where De Gois has actually gone to the Roosters beyond just a rumour? As at 10.24am Wednesday morning August 5th, he is still a Newcastle Knight.

Unless people are suggesting De Gois came to the Knights for Smiths coaching and not the massive amount of money that tempted him away from cash strapped Cronulla?

Well mate, given that this entire thread is about De Gois possibly leaving to go to the Roosters where Smith will be coaching next season I think it was a fair question for me to ask.

I have no doubt we were the highest offer - but 'nulla did throw huge coin at the likes of Tupou at the same time they were offering unders to De Gois...

Fair enough, but I'd love to know the last time a player has even gone to the Roosters where MONEY wasn't the main factor. :lol:

 

[macavity]

its an interesting one - apparently everyone there is on 400k. I hear the pokies at easts leagues pay out VERY well....

must admit though, if you were offered the same coin by them and by dogs/penrith/wests/parra - wouldn't you prefer the eastern suburbs to St Marys or Liverpool?

 

[perverse]

i think the bondi lifestyle is a massive drawcard for the roosters when signing players. sure, they have the coin too, but we all operate under the same salary cap.

How many players that play for the Bulldogs, Tigers, Eels and Penrith do you think actually live in their clubs area?
