How much did he claim Scott was on???

He reckons we would of signed a washed up Frank P for 300k :thinking:
$300K. FFS I knew for a fact that Sandow in his last year with us was on $750K as it was backloaded yet he didn't even believe that. It was his f**king manager that told the group I was with. Not good enough for Pou. The guy argues just for the sake of it. Used to get me angry now I just laugh and pity the fool.

Lol so we got a current Blue and former Kangaroo for the same Price as a 33 yr old Frankie P???

Lol he just makes it up as he goes along.

So who are your top 4 sides ? And bottom 4 sides ?

I don't have a top 4 and bottom 4 as such, but I would classify the competition into these categories.

Top teams (7) - Storm, Sharks, Roosters, Broncos, Cowboys, Raiders, Panthers - Four of these teams will fill the top 4 spots and the Premier will come from this list, as they have squads of players superior to the other 9 in the competition. Of these I'd be surprised if the Cowboys won the comp given the injury to Scott and their lack of forward power up front. Barring injuries to key personnel I don't see any of these teams missing the top 8.

Middle of the Road Teams (8) - Dragons, Manly, Parra, Warriors, Titans, Souths, Dogs, Tigers - All of these teams can challenge for the last one (maybe two of they're lucky) spot in the top 8, but all of them can also fall away and make the bottom 4. None of them are capable of winning the competition. Form will fluctuate for all 8 of these teams throughout the season and a lot of where they will finish will have a lot to do with injuries.

Knights - Knights squad is not sufficiently strong enough for them to be a chance of making the Top 8. Doesn't mean they will run last, but I dare say they won't be far away.

Yep, last year he wasn't getting much of a run. This season he has gone to another level but too be far he was a country rep as far back as 3 years ago.

He has always made over 130m+ a game, even last year. I for one could not understand Ricky's position on him and always thought he was the better meter eater in that club. I could not for the life of me see how anyone could not rate him. When they said he out priced himself, I thought he was asking for upwards of $650k, but if he was asking for around $450k, then boy have we F**KED up.

He and hooker Cameron McInnes is the main reason for the form reversal. They always had the nucleus of a good squad, they just needed a better dummy half and a real power monster up the middle.

Does this remind anyone of a certain faltering team at the moment?

NRL BIG-spenders the Parramatta Eels are poised to announce the signing of tough Kangaroos and Origin second-rower Beau Scott on a three-year deal.

The Daily Telegraph understands Scott has agreed to a $1.5 million deal and will quit the Newcastle Knights at the end of the season to link up with the Eels.

MILLION-DOLLAR MAN

Parramatta star Tepai Moeroa signed on for another two years on a deal worth north of $1 million.

While it was always expected the lock would re-sign with the Eels, Market Watch can reveal Moeroa attracted serious interest from Manly.

Suck on them two lumps of shit pou. You shitty little know it all. There is what you want to be true, and then there is reality. Somehow it just always seems to get in the way of your fanciful and generally murmuring OPINIONS.

Fake news.
Mate, believe the figures all you want. The media's job is to create a story, and that means inflating player salaries. Phil Gould had a go at a journo recently on Twitter for it.

Like Manly and the Dragons? Better stick to believing what you read in the papers, because you're too stupid to do your own analysis.
Look who's talking know it all. The sites biggest BS artist suggesting that of someone else.

Did you read in the paper we signed Franke P for 300k???

Come back when you are ever right about something.

Jackson who plays origin has 2 try assists, a line break, 5 tackle busts and 7 offloads made 196 tackles and missed 9 compared to Moeroa who doesn't play origin, 0 try assists, 0 line breaks, 0 offloads, 3 tackle busts, 99 tackles with 9 missed. Ok mate
I think Pou has finally cracked, I'm not Jacksons biggest fan but that was another truly stupid Pou statement.
