November 1 deadline.

Lol....what an embarrassing thread....back to the premiers forum i guess!

Sadly he's 100% correct though. People get their knickers in a twist oh so easily.

The most laughable aspect of this schemozzle is someone getting upset because their expectations have not been met.

 

[Jubileeboy]

All good mate.

Carpet was found in the swamp out back of endeavour. Toyota, shark park. Remondis, Southern Cross Group Stadium. What was truely odd was a bunch of old fencing that strangely resembled that of kogarah council oki Jubilee,

Well played, sir. A trophy fence, as such !

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Really Tom, as a guy that follows a side that's won one comp in the last 35 years I would have expected that you'd have a little empathy for a long suffering sharks fan. I basically passed comment on a thread that I'm sure plenty of your fellow dragons fans would be cringing at. Time to lighten up and enjoy the mediocrity that is "Dragons footy"

It's been a pleasure doing banter with you my friend.
I'm with Hazzbeen, congrats on the win this year. I don't envy the She-rex acquisition though good luck with that one.

I don't like it much myself Tom

Look, it could go either way. Similar to the Dave Taylor signing at Canberra. He could genuinely turn his career around, or be a complete flop and end up wasting cap space like he's done for the last two or three years at the Bulldogs.

 

[2010]

I'll predict that the Saints make moves in 2018 to get one or more gun players for the team

That statement is what every club will be doing but I heard it on the grapevine in the beer garden at the local watering hole

 

[TomRedVRiver]

If we really are looking at Kalyn Ponga, I feel a bit sorry for Dufty.
I mean someone like Ponga, you HAVE to have a look, the statement "the kid could be anything" has never been more relevant with a player like him, his signature would be massive for the club. But at the same time, Dufty has worked so hard, it would be such a slap in the face. Rugby League can be such a brutal business sometimes.

 

[Too old too slow]

Oh yeah, because that was confirmed by reputable sources and you're not just pulling it out of thin air.
I wonder if some of the illegal substances that the Cronulla staff provide will do something about that extra weight he's carrying?

I think the dragons actually knocked him back .. something to do with commitment and inability to get to an organized meeting with the club because he was 'tired and emotional'.

Now what would possibly cause that ..

good luck to him .. a bullet dodged.. and I doubt the sharkies will benefit from his presence.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Yeah likewise Tom...hopefully you guys can get your shit together though its hard when you've got monkeys steering the ship....and I can tell you that from experience from many years as a Sharks fan. JMoz needs an uppercut for starting this faarrkked up thread by the way....continue on!

Kalyn Ponga from Cowboys

Doubt it. We have Dufty signed up for the next 2 years, which will oversee his transition to first grade, and while Ponga is a huge talent, Dufty isn't too far behind and we still have Dugan.

Meanwhile, we still dont have a recognised halfback and I wouldn't be surprised to see the back end of Widdop at the end of 2017.

Ponga would be a Marshall-type signing; i.e., signing someone for the sake of it with no real plan as to where he fits in.

 

[TheOnlyTeam]

We will vie for the wooden spoon ( made from the fencing that Miller mentioned) in 2017. Even then I doubt (or is that doust) there will be change.

 

[gregstar]

so did we end up signing thurston & smith or not?

the suspense is unbearable!

 

[gregstar]

i also heard from my neighbors (but i didn't give it due courtesy given their unreliable record) that a lawyer has filed an abuse report to the police naming peter doust on behalf of her client who has been in intensive therapy.

they said her client who wished to remain nameless (but is apparently named graham) has been seen frequenting therapy sessions in the cross after having suffered intense sexual abuse involving a funnel & finger.

graham as seen in happier times

 

[Old Timer]

Insightful stuff from the OP of the thread which is now 233 posts old.
Gotta love how we get entertained by all this stuff as it's about as rational as our illustrious coach's game plans and bench usage.
My favourites are in bold.
The introduction of Cussy as support crew has added to the thrill of it all.
Took his advice on his last post and stuck my head in the fridge to chill out and ended up with a hangover, bloody Asahi does it every time.
Restocking with Ching Tao.

...and let's not forget the previous 4 or 5 years he spent walking around at manly.

I wouldn't worry about it Tom.....would be great to have both, as they're great talents....and could play many positions in the backline.
Ponga is a natural who may end up at 5/8.

 

[Saints Forever]

Can Ponga play half back ?

 

[TomRedVRiver]

I'm thinking Ponga fullback, Dufty 5/8, Dugan centre.

 

[Gippsy]

Cussy hopefully over the weekend keep you posted.

Well....the weekend is nearly dusted....

What's happening.

 

[gregstar]
