This season can't end soon enough.
Any luck in finding that street whore yet, Dibs?still looking forward to your first one? Get me a microscope so we can see it and I'll see if I can find a street whore that desperate
Better luck then f*ck stick had finding his dickAny luck in finding that street whore yet, Dibs?
I think Watmough's attacking contribution is so vastly superior that it overshadows Scott's better defence. Scott is a solid first grader playing an essential role in (what was until recently) a very strong team, but he is no better than he was last year at the Knights (where he looked ordinary). Watmough made a couple of mistakes from trying too hard but he is an absolute machine.
As for edge vs middle, Scott is no more effective attacking in the middle than he was on the edge, and certainly less effective than was Watmough. And we have three edge forwards who have racked up 100+ metre games this year while Scott never did.
Don't get me wrong, I love Beau Scott and think he was a great addition to our squad. But he has been an ordinary attacking player for years. Watmough still had the speed and footwork to threaten the defence right up until the final game of his career.
We do seem to play better with him on the field. It surprises me that his stats aren't great.

do you like talking about penises or just mine?Better luck then f*ck stick had finding his dick
You prick you gave it to me.
My info was spot on. It was about Foran with an acceptable amount of prissiness.I've given it to you on plenty of occasions.
Those, however, were all about how you've turned into a prissy little bitch since you had your meltdown and ran away because your "inside info" turned out to be trash and so you didn't get the adulation you think you so richly deserve.
(For the record, you've been less prissy over the last fortnight)
I don't remember any of the times I gave it to you revolving around a disagreement in regards to Foran.
But, but, but Hayson gambles a bit and is the former owner of a notorious brothel. It's all legit. Nothing to see here.Gambler Eddie Hayson says he gave journalist Phil Rothfield money for NRL tickets
Kate McClymont
Notorious gambling figure Eddie Hayson has claimed that a $2000 cash deposit he made into the betting account of News Corp journalist Phil "Buzz" Rothfield was for NRL tickets.
This version conflicts with the account provided to Fairfax Media by Rothfield, the sports editor-at-large at The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph.
A Fairfax Media investigation has revealed that Mr Hayson, a big-time punter who has been banned from Star Casino and the TAB, has made multiple cash deposits into the TAB account of the veteran journalist.
According to the TAB's terms and conditions, only the account holder is allowed to use the account to bet.
"We take breaches of the use of our accounts very seriously and take action on such accounts where required," a Tabcorp spokesman said yesterday, adding that Rothfield's contractual arrangements with Tabcorp's affiliate Sky Sports Radio were being reviewed.
In a memo sent out to News Corp staff on Friday, Michael Miller, the company's executive chairman, assured staff that allegations levelled at our "respected colleague Buzz Rothfield" would be investigated.
"Without any prejudgement, we should remind ourselves that our conduct policies are in place to protect you and your journalism and are an important part of our commitment to great reporting and news coverage."
News Corp declined to provide details on the nature of the investigation and who would be conducting the inquiry.
Those and other cash payments made into the betting accounts of Mr Hayson's associates are now under investigation by law enforcement authorities.
In an angry call to Fairfax Media on Friday, Mr Hayson claimed the cash deposit he made into Rothfield's TAB account was a reimbursement for tickets Rothfield had obtained from the NRL and then provided to Mr Hayson.
When it was pointed out to Mr Hayson that he had made the $2000 cash payment to Rothfield in December last year, which was during the off-season for rugby league, Mr Hayson claimed that the repayment was for "five or six tickets" he had received from Rothfield over the years.
Mr Hayson said the tickets were for grand finals and State of Origin matches and that he was merely repaying his mate.
"He [Rothfield] can produce the receipts for you," he claimed.
Over the years Rothfield has written a string of positive stories about the often controversial antics of Mr Hayson without disclosing his financial dealings with the controversial gambler who has close ties to a number of well-known rugby league figures.
The veteran journalist told Fairfax Media there was nothing untoward about his dealings with Mr Hayson. "I've known him for 10 years and we are mates, and mates always have a punt together."
In 2014, Mr Hayson lost control of the brothel Stiletto and declared himself insolvent with debts of $52 million. He currently owes millions of dollars to a raft of characters including drug dealers, footballers, jockeys, boxers, family, friends and a convicted murderer.
Meanwhile, doubt hangs over Rothfield's planned "scoop" – a much sought after interview with troubled league star Kieran Foran, who sensationally walked away from his $5 million contract with Parramatta Eels earlier this month.
Mr Hayson, who appears to be acting as Foran's de facto manager, organised and attended Thursday's interview, which was conducted by Rothfield in a Fox Sports studio.
In June Mr Hayson angrily denied widespread rumours that he was behind Foran's widely reported $75,000 gambling spree.
Mr Hayson met Foran in Brisbane on May 20, the day after Foran's TAB account was allegedly used for the massive betting spree.
Rothfield's exclusive television and print interviews with Foran are scheduled to run on Sunday. Fox executives Gary Burns and Steve Crawley did not return Fairfax Media's calls.

In contrast, we were still going ok when Watmough was injured.
Speaking about watmough is he still going training and that unlike foran did cause i saw him at the game a couple of weeks back and i thought i saw a photo of him at training the other day.
He sure is. He's twice the leader and person that Foran is.
Agreed, great choice as club captain but he is not a the on field general we need.Mannah is a great player who is unfairly maligned by a hell of a lot of Eels fans, but he is not a captain's left nut. Sorry, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the decision to give Foran the captaincy.
So you do think he has been better for us than scott??? One of your best lol.He played less games, but contributed more on the field. Scott has been able to sit back and just defend. He has done it well, but couldn't have done it without so much quality around him. He is probably on a bit less than Watmough however, for this reason.
My only friend the end...........No. This is the end. The end.
