Have I missed anyone?

Why have you put Sandow in as a loss? (I shouldn't joke about it - the guy's on a short-cut to nowhere; but losing him was a gain for our team).

This is my rumour-Started by me.

Hayne leaves parra too give it a crack. RTS leaves the roosters without much Fuss prior to trials. I reckon Politis and the boys have a deal if he is not too make it he will come too the roosters.And firmly believing he wont make it is why they didn't stand in RTS way of leaving.Of course they could of matched the amount he was paid for his quality.

The fact is Hayne played great in trials.All the hype and the marketing tool he is made it an easy choice. Sure its only 2 games in but if he doesn't start too show something he will fall down the pecking order. And if he does he may get cut. If he isn't able to make the 49rs team and 28 next year I doubt too many NFL clubs would be interested in him and his marketing value would be worthless too.

Its too early too judge but at this stage id say this is about a 35 %chance of happening.You also have to wonder if Hayne would be happy being the 3rd guy who gets 3-4 plays a game.He may start too miss family-friends-Nrl and origin.

Wow i almost got threw half of that.
Man you are a boring one

Hey, Hindy111; both you and Parra 47 came across as pretty decent blokes in your "getting to know you thread" (Poo Poo, on the other hand, didn't even post in it). You must understand that this fellow delights in steering each thread away from its intended topic and on to himself. This he generally does by making controversial posts or starting arguments. (Why anyone would want to do that in a forum like this is totally beyond me; but everyone's different, I guess.) He rubs people up the wrong way (because he wants to) - some more than others. He's obviously annoyed Parra 47. If he doesn't annoy you, that's fine. But, really, it seems a shame that he's engineered an argument between you two. He must be having some sort of fun, I guess. I just ignore him now, and I'm a lot happier on here.

Personally, I don't read Pou's posts as being any more controversial or argumentative as any one else's posts - they are just of a different view than others and in fact could actually be seen to be quite conservative at times. He doesn't have an extreme view on the club, the players or our future chances at either extreme (extremely positive or extremely negative) and most times he states his opinion, backs it up with statistics and defers to the professionals when none of us understand the decision being made. He it may seem as if he is arguing but in reality, I don't see it as that - more a case of opposite views which is what makes the interweb interesting.

Oh and I don't recall him ever really being an SK worshipper as some would suggest. He did (like a few of us) want to see some stability in the coaching ranks and did make comment a few times that none of us are/were first grade coaches so obviously SK knows more than us - which is probably true whether the 'experts' on here want to admit it or not.

Yeh, pretty much my thoughts too. He does like winding people up, but he's not Robinson Crusoe in that regard.

To me it seems that Hayne prefers being a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small school in a big pond.

Bah - f**k Pou up the arse with a splintery bit of wood. Id rather listen to merkins bang on ad nauseum bout how f**ked our club is and how shit our players are. Keeps me entertained in the dearth of my existence.

I've said it before.... We have 1 full fledged wing/centre that can play fg and that's semi .... I've never seen depth being so weak in that position ever... It's embarrassing

Thanks lingard, mate most of the time I also ignore poo, sometimes I have shot back at him but I probably should just ignore him like most others on here do.

Pretty much my thoughts MJC.
Poo likes being the Devils Advocate no doubt about that yet I find he can also bring balance to the thread.
If its a choice between Poo and all the negative posters, its a no contest for mine.
Dont let them chase you away again Poo.

Our outside back strength is awful. I hope the club are doing something to fix this behind the scenes.

Telegraph reporting Reece Robinson poised to sign with the waratahs. To be announced in the coming days. Besides semi wing and center looks diabolical next year.

At full strength our 2-5 is looking like this...

2 semi
3 Morgan
4 taka
5 Rets

That's embarrassing
