Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Iamback]

You'll have L.Bowden and Luke.B alts all over the place if thats the case.

Correct.

Hence why it is setup to not admit it was a dumb statement

Correct.

Hence why it is setup to not admit it was a dumb statement

Why is the position Luke Bowden takes a dumb statement?

Because you think so?

You are well renowned for thinking you know better than everyone else on here, that is just a given.

Anyone who dares express an opinion that does not align with your narrative is met with a barrage of stats and other data in order to support your position.

I note with interest a number of your recent posts have included (disclaimers) in order to somehow excuse you accept you are not always right? Go figure that that one. I don’t ever recall (I could be wrong) you ever owning up to being wrong, mistaken or otherwise incorrect.

I get your passion, I respect that, I don’t get your hate for those that don’t embrace your views. Opinions differ, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and most just rely on what they watch and see without necessarily dragging out stats from wherever you unearth them from.

I’ve watched this debate unfold now for 72 hours or more and I have wanted to stay away but I’ll just make one point.

Luke Bowden as he is entitled to do put forward his opinion around Soni Luke and because it doesn’t conform with the opinions of those who think they know all, he has been subjected to a barrage of reasons, statistics, and goodness knows criticism around his opinion.

Fan forums are great outlets for all fans to express opinions, and it is rather sad when in this instance fans are basically outed or ridiculed for just expressing an opinion.

That's kind of why forums exist, unless we want an echo chamber. I reckon Luke is enjoying it anyway, he is smart enough to know it's not personal. He loves the banter as much as anyone.

I don’t profess to know whether he is or he isn’t, but it doesn’t alter the fact alternate opinions should not be shut down on the basis some think they know better and this is what appears to be happening in this instance.

 

[age.s]

And if it is Api but the media and facebook say Luke?

Then it's waaaaaay closer than I'd expect and Bowden gets props for an overall pretty good call.

Zero tackle has Lenui off contract, which begs the question, Why the Roosters have not announced it or has the NRL not registered it?

No as it sits now it looks like a dumb call

One is an origin hooker

One is getting bits and pieces time off the bench.

Hence why I asked what the metrics he was using was because he could be right.

There has been heaps. Scroll the topics threads created by me. You will see a Hame Sele appreciation thread - he wasn't seen in FG again for us

I said Crichton and Spencer would stay - As I said we all get things wrong from time to time.

If I don't post stats it is seen as just picking on the player for the sake of it. There are also done with no emotion and the same across the board

Not Registered yet

If you don't like banter than you wouldn't post on here

1. Fidow
2. Isaako
3. Farnworth
4. Averillo
5. Someone

Not a bad backline. Its currently one of the worst in the NRL but Bennett has made it work.

They'll have Aiken, Gildart, Brenko Lee, Edrick Lee, Tesi Niu and Valynce Te Whare for depth. Probably one too many. Some will probably get released but I don't think we will look at any of them.

Edwick Lee would be my guess

It.

 

[Luke Bowden]

How so? You do a quick poll.

Who would you prefer as the 9 for Penrith?

1. Api
2. Luke

Tally results.

Simples.

You may need to explain what a poll is mate.

He’s a bit of a battler.

Do you know what is taking them so long? Any chance of him staying?

What’s wrong with saying, “Gee I hope you’re right, that would be cool” and leaving it at that?

Now I’m at the point where I believe that you are actually barracking for him to play poorly or pick up an injury.

 

[Fangs]

Can we add one of those dunk tank machines for the loser of the poll?

 

[Kilkenny]

I think the Soni Luke crusade to NRL is a really feel good story.

He has already overachieved really.

Regardless of what lies ahead for Soni I think it’s great he has a new deal however modest which offers him hope.

I love the feel good stories of our club. If he doesn’t progress further so be it, cost us nothing, those in the know thought him worthy of persevering with so I am comfortable with that.

That’s true, but this has become a bit much and very circular.

I don’t take anything a random punter on a website says personally. I’d be be concerned if any of my mates shared his view.

Soni is an incredibly smart player, he has been the best player in every team he’s ever played in. He’ll get his body right and will become a very good hooker. The club will certainly benefit for the faith they have shown.

Need to clear cap space.
No because we rightfully won't pay that money for a bench forward

 

[goldcoastpanther]

We have signed Joseph Nohra from South. He is playing Jersey Flegg.
