Rumours and Stuff

Oh we definitely need a hard head or two in the forwards.

We have plenty of money to spend for next season, our recruitment will tell us a lot about how well Ryles is thought of.

I think Jack Williams can be one of those in a sensible way

Always laugh when posts like this exaggerate players salaries to emphasis a point. Now getting paid $1.1m according to them!

He was 100% poised to get $1.2m from us.

I think you all have it wrong on POs
MON is a genius

because the way the deal was structured only way Dylan was leaving was with a stupid offer

MON due to his ineptness has destroyed the knights salary cap for the next 10-15 years

Cut it out you f**kwit

He definitely beat himself off over how too easy it was to get you there

That’s some serious 4D chess right there.

We also need players who might not be the best players in their position but have a tough mindset, particularly forwards. Those driven to succeed and have a bit of grub in them. A Ray Price clone or JWH or NAS type of player. For too long we've had prima donna players like Matto, all show and very little go, noted head droppers when things go bad. Clean the team out of those. Players who snarl at you when you make a mistake and get rid of those players giving high 5s when you make a mistake. Wtf is that these days?

I watched the Bellamy Doco last night. An interesting insight into the type of player he's keen to sign. I'd suggest Ryles will mirror this process. Lots of similarities comparing our recent pre season and Ryles approach to Bellamy's.

That type of player being?

seriously though. How does the idiot CEO and O’Neil keep their jobs? They allowed the player options. Signed off on it. Is someone accountable ? Or nothing to see here ?

They have managed one disaster after another. Remember how they tried to sign Bennett after he had done the deal with Souths, the whole BA sacking fiasco. Why are they still employed?

I’ve said it plenty of times the CEO has no f**king idea.

I’ve also said on plenty occasions they have turned us into the Tigers. These idiots were hired with no experience in managing footy clubs.

who offers a player 10 years with options in his favour? He’s Not even a top 50 player. It was only by luck that these morons found similar morons at the Knights to take 5/8 off our hands and rescue us with what would have been a long 10 YEARS.

Again where’s the accountability? but but but it’s Good Governance - coming last

I think the CEO has already departed

The type of player that can do a chicken wing, grapple, hip drop, crusher and basically do any type of wrestling in a tackle

 

[Rocket man]

He didn't end up activating the options so where's the harm?

I think the only problem with a PO is the time players are given to take up the option.
Maybe they should of made the cut of date sept 30 24

Just a thought

When you look at the big picture, he had an incredibly good deal with us. Yet the moment he got the chance, despite us backing him through two scandals—one of which made him a convicted criminal—he bailed.

Make no mistake, I’m glad he turned out to be a spoiled, entitled, and disloyal space cadet. He was never the future, and I’m certain Ryles saw it the second he arrived, which is why he didn’t even bother entertaining a bidding war with his management.

Jack Williams is one for sure as is Wishart. I reckon he is the one we will be chasing.

They asked Ryles pre game about Brown, he was hardly glowing in his appraisal.

 

[Twizzle]

I am pretty sure NRL360 said the ratchet clause will push it up to $14mill once the cap increases kick in for the new TV deal.

if that applies to his valuation in that article (although it wasn't specifically referred to) it just means that the media can put their own spin on any contract amount

if it is the case here, it is poor journalism

Plus meowing and making animal sounds to female reporters is probably something that is more tolerated in the Hunter.

But but but, he does charity work and is so giving. Guess what? Everyone f**king does.

The only thing the merkin has given Parramatta is the finger.

Who would you argue who is the bigger turncoat in the last 15 years.

Reed Mahoney going back to the Bulldogs after they punted him as a kid or Dylan Brown's defection.

 

[Eelementary]

You still want to put your best 13 players on the field. And in any universe he is one of them. I'd leave him right where he is (barring injuries).

I don't disagree.

I'm probably one of the few people sad to see Brown go.
