Eels trial.

[Whino]

I wasn't imagining it. Kiks was terrible

Getting practice in to play for the Dogs next year

Take Jacob Liddle.
Very highly rated at the Tigers.

Thanks for you're kind offer. But NAH.

 

[Iamback]

Liddle is injured again. No swaps.
They either put in or piss off to reserve grade.

I don't see us coming close to winning the comp with Kenny and Chris Smith starting though

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Ok, Simpkins swap and you chuck in 150 on top.

Don't think so. You hand over Simpkins + $150.000

Could be ready to go this year!

Well it's an estimate based on the likelihood of winning compared to all the other teams that are capable of winning. If you do it for every team in the comp the only rule is that it adds up to 100%

You don't need to agree on the percentages. It's just a matter of opinion with no way of knowing whether we're right or not. For a more practical application than arguing on the internet, you could use this type of modelling to decide whether betting odds represent good value, for example.

This modeling how many times would you say you have got it right

 

[murraymob]

The scars run deep.

Yeah about 20 bourbons deep the night we won the grand final .how sweet it is

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This modeling how many times would you say you have got it right

It's a model. It is neither right or wrong. Like I said, the only rule is that the percentages need to add up to 100.

As for its utility in betting, I finish in the black every year, but that doesn't mean my model is accurate. I could just be lucky each year. There's no way to know for sure.

How bout Simpkins and cash as a swap ?

Take their first round draft pick! It’s a perennial lottery pick

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I reckon API has checked out.
Your only option is an early release. Get rid of him.

Serious question, but if Api has checked out how do you feel about that as a Wests fan? If the guy can’t get motivated about playing for a team that is the defending premiers and one of the favourites for this year, do you not fear you might have another retirement package on your hands?

 

[murraymob]

All the api hate from a trial really.he will bounce back very fast .it was always going to be a different mindset start to the year from the previous year
Api is a champion and will rise again

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Is anyone surprised? Kiks and Api will phone it in this year

Interestingly the departing Eels players were fantastic

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Heavy loss in a trial isn’t the worst thing in the world. Let’s Cleary rip into them without actually losing ground on anyone.

If they fail to get up for Round 1 against a fellow contender in front of what should be a big crowd that would be concerning.

How many of the departing Eels players have a premiership ring in their back pocket?

 

[Iamback]

Interestingly the departing Eels players were fantastic

They have the hunger. We have the hangover from last year

Lol negotiating is not your talent is it?

 

[stryker]

Yeah about 20 bourbons deep the night we won the grand final .how sweet it is

Bourbon eh?
Yeah that figures…

100% I do…and I don’t like him as a man.
The fact is though, we have f**k all experienced players in our squad who can mentor the up and comers. He is needed.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Lol negotiating is not your talent is it?

I do OK.

Like with Burton last year. It comes down to how desperate you're club is......

Being serious I can't see either Api or Kiks leaving earlier than planned.


Not unless the enticement is execptional. Which I don't think will be forthcomming from you're club.

 

[Smug Panther]

They have the hunger. We have the hangover from last year

Proof of that?
