Rumours and Stuff

[Stevie]

I wonder if he knows whose coaching Manly next year.

I saw Seibs yesterday in a press conference lose the plot.

I don't see him lasting to next year.

I agree with you mate, the press conference with the journo vultures chasing a news grab moment. That sort of stuff then often has a coach gone within the week or two. If they get towelled up this weekend after the bye, I say he is gone.

Pretty close stats apart from the penalty count

I got wind the Dolphins had something cooking yesterday arvo.

But the bloke i was with wouldn't tell me what it is. He was sworn to secrecy.

I guess it was Cobbo joining them.

I was half winding him up was it George Williams coming back to the NRL trying to get him to take the bait.

Fins will have a decent backline now with him.. I assume he takes avarillos centre spot.

Good chance they can win a comp in the next 2-3 years.

If they can get Flegler back, Katoa will be better next year.

Wont have many weaknesses across the park.

They have quality across the park.

I would be enquiring about getting Ray stone back here there will be a potential squeeze on the cap with the upgrades for Katoa that will be looming.

He’s been quite impressive for them. He is just total no nonsense.

Smart move, poor forward pack, coach under pressure, poor training facilities in comparison, old ground , top heavy roster - makes sense compared to other offers

You ignored the most important factor of all. No MON, obviously.

Also, money.

And conceding penalties isn’t necessarily the sign of ill discipline. Gutherson is one of the (footy) smartest players in the game. He knows when a penalty is better than a quick play-the-ball.

Apparently Jake avarillo wants to come back to Sydney

 

[Avenger]

Just goes to show what a warrior Gutherson still is when he has stats similar a young fullback being spruiked as the next QLD SOO fullback.

In a millisecond I’d take him.

Ryles interview this morning:
- Papalii given shot at 5/8 spot but things can change if players come available
- will be active in market but focus is on giving juniors a chance. Mentioned re-signing Sammy when asked about will we recruit any big name forwards
- said we will have a few re-signings soon
- interested in TDS but so are other clubs

Conversely it shows the decision to let him go was correct, as Iongi would be a lot cheaper and a rookie. A win for all parties as we’ve said.

Would love a comparison with Iongi & Bula from the Tigers

Would be interesting the difference between the two remembering Bula has had 2 more seasons then Iongi with experience

I’m happy for us not to pursue a 6 for next season assuming we can’t get someone like Savala for a year on loan. However we need some more speed out wide and I’d be going all out for Averillo. About to turn 25, plays on the same side as Penisini but can play both sides without a problem. Has elite pace and seems to have gone past his early injuries.

Can also play FB, 5/8, HB at a pinch as well so plenty of versality.

Similar to Douiehi but a slight upgrade on him

I was disappointed we didn't have a crack when he left the dogs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Another swing and a miss for MON, the prick couldn’t attract flies rolled in Dogshit.


What are the KPI’s for MON and his Muppets??? It’s not making the finals and it’s not signing quality young players in the market.

Getting pissed and making a dick out yourself seems like his only claim to fame.

MON has gotta go!!

Cobbo to join Dolphins for 2026

Queensland Origin and Test player Selwyn Cobbo will add even more firepower to the Dolphins’ backline after agreeing to a one-year deal for NRL season 2026.

Only for 26... Assuming he goes to the Bears after that?

Yep. Bears bound for sure. TBH having him for one year wouldn’t excite me all that much. However he’s good cover for Bostock.
