Sounds like my little birds were on the money with Fletcher.

Your bird is a genius

Well he’s got you covered Gronkles, it’s not saying much to be fair.

This is a far more reliable gauge than just watching them play against other u19s. I thought Petrus was our best yesterday but in this grade the standouts can be deceiving. They can have weaknesses you don't see unless you are focusing on them for most of the game (i.e. off the ball).

Agreed Summer was good too. Fletcher was a class above and I barely noticed Funa-Iuta.

Your problem is you are relying on spotters and not your own assessment. Think of some of the failures who picked up development contracts.
Dogs passed on Mahoney for example. Whilst NZ didn't see Maratas potential.
Cowboys did similar with Kikau and the Hammer. Didn't rate them high enough.
People connected with club may also develop an emotional attachment to players that could sway their decision making also.

No I don't wish at all. When you get the shits it involves a 20 post 6h barrage .

Ha, you wanted to start it by questioning the quality of my little birds, you are just jealous. It’s not my fault yours keep going in circles because they can only fly to the left.

Well TBH I don't have birds and don't make crystal ball predictions on footy. As you were.

So this BarTVSports collab with NSWRL, I have a few dumb questions.

1. The NSWRL app is available on AppleTV, Samsung TV etc. Does the NSWRL app incorporate your BarTVSports subscription? Is it like an an add on ? Or does a subscription to a season or month with BarTVSports mean that you ditch the NSWRL app and just deal with BarTVSports ?

2. If the latter, it does not appear that BarTVSports is viewable other than on mobile devices or PC and streamed to your TV. Correct ?

3. Do the BarTVSports NSWRL games have commentary and graphics or is it just a raw live feed?

1) No Idea, but I was upset as NSWRL yearly subscription was only $49.95 last year so it would have been cheeper.

2_ Yes, but I had some issues as the app streaming to the AppleTV box as the app doesn't keep the device (my iPad Mini) awake so after about 5 or so minutes without touching the device it would go to sleep and that would lock up the device and then log me out of BarTV Sports.

3. Yes Commentry. The Raiders game was with a bloke that as done NSWRL games before (I recognise his use of the term EFTPOS the ball "Tap and Go") and scores times and replays in the Lisa Fiola game of tries.

You have the best birds in Australia.Maybe even the world.

You are a man without birds. Basically a birdless man

Considering you're giving detailed reports you should be given free access. Basically promoting their service for free.

Your problem is you are relying on spotters and not your own assessment.

Of course, because I am a poor judge of talent, just like you.

Think of some of the failures who picked up development contracts.

That's because, just like top 30 contracts, there are more development contracts available (6 x 17 = 102) than players good enough to fill them, so a lot of them are occupied by speculative signings.

Dogs passed on Mahoney for example. Whilst NZ didn't see Maratas potential.
Cowboys did similar with Kikau and the Hammer. Didn't rate them high enough.

Now you're believing the bullshit from players and their agents. Chased the money = old club didn't want them. It's disingenuous, and you merkins lap it up.

People connected with club may also develop an emotional attachment to players that could sway their decision making also.

I'm sure the market for players can be irrational. But also, because there is so little talent available for all the contracts (612 full time contracts in the NRL including all 17 top 30 and development lists) clubs can afford to speculate. In fact they don't really have a choice. It's not just the Eels who give (cheap) contracts to nuffies. Every club does it, but if you're only watching Parra's signings you wouldn't know.
