I saw Mummamoasia slothing it around for Newy’s reserve grade side and I thought this can’t be the bloke we’ve signed up. I was told he’s just back from injury he’s got first grade talent blah blah blah!!

Hindy has a better Strike rate than Glenn Maxwell.

For the record.

At 19yrs old I said N.Cleary is going to be one of the greatest.
No you didn't merkin, you said it when he was picked in Origin at the age of 20. Of course a player that young getting picked in Origin (in a position other than wing or the bench), has massive potential.
I also picked JFH at age 20 as becoming one of the best props in game.
And he isn't. He is overrated, which is why Penrith let him go early. He's a great defender but in attack he is just a stats accumulator. The Clinton Gutherson of forwards.
In 20022 after a trial I said Lane is set for a huge season.
You say that about plenty of players every year. One of them is bound to come true.
I spotted Morretti as a real prospect.
Is he though? He is nearly 25 and only played 22 NRL games.
And Yes I also have black booked. W.LATU.
I reckon there would be plenty more than him.
BA and you thought Sam Laizou was worth a top 30 spot. Let that sink in.
Well he was. A top 30 spot doesn't mean you're a star. I've already told you there's more top 30 spots than players good enough to play NRL. But in Loizou's defence, he hit his milestones early, and has been very good in reserve grade. That's enough for a top 30 spot at any club.
I called JA rubbish after 3 games while you picked him as a future star.
I never pick anyone as a future star. Most promising youngsters turn out to be disappointing. Examples are Moretti and Latu.
I can spot talent. I have the gift. You don't. That's fine. Your good at stats. Much better then I am with that stuff.
I am certainly better than you and most others at separating the relevant information from the @Noise.

Momoisea ???

You spotted that he was garbage before he played a game and were called a moron for calling it so early.

I guess you have got so many right you forget those nuggets that turned out correct.
I was the first one to rubbish the Momoisea signing. I always tell merkins not to get excited. That doesn't mean we shouldn't sign these nuffies, just that we have a squad to fill and cheap nuffies are part of the strategy.

The next nuffy I'm warning merkins about is Samrani. I've seen some excitement around him and I don't want you merkins to get your hopes up. Maybe he'll become a first grader and that would be awesome, but if he doesn't, there's no need for merkins to lash out at the club and its staff. Finding diamonds in the rough is a numbers game. There will always be more 'failures' than successes.

Surely as King Hugger you must be pissed you didn't get the call up???

I bet all the 10 who did at least know who Lindsay Collins is.
All you need is imagine how circular any suggestions or discussions would be if a certain all encompassing poster was part of the SGA.

You made all this up. If you can find my quotes to back yours up then I'll accept I was @Incorrect
