Rumours and Stuff

I thought his point was that Brett Finch was an Origin plodder and therefore can't help a team to a grand final. Just like Josh Reynolds.

He referred to Finch as a "massive plodder", to which you said:

I'd be happy with Origin plodders who help us make grand finals. I'd even prefer players who don't get picked in Origin so we get more games out of them.

He took it very literally and thought you were suggesting that Finch helped 'us' i.e. Parramatta make GFs. He could probably be forgiven for thinking that was what you were saying tbh.

Why would I say Finch helped us to a grand final? I know full well we played against the merkin in our last ever finals appearance.

My point was that Origin plodders are still solid first graders who can help teams to a grand final. Just because they never helped us to a grand final doesn't mean they can't help another team (or us in the future) to reach the dizzying heights of runners up on grand final day.

No way to Reynolds, no way.

Watching Peats last night after being out for 6 weeks, I would take him back in a heart beat.

His line speed in defense was so so crucial for us we miss him badly. People bag his service but I don't think it's that bad his a guy who will give you 100% week in week out and I think people forget how big of a loss for us he was as was Paulo.

Really hope he makes a return to us I will be delighted.

I think we all realise that Peats is a fine player and could bring a lot to our team. The only concern is his injury history. He has never played a full season of FG, and has had more than one season-ending injury.

His price would have to reflect the risk of him missing plenty of games. But then if he signed and ended up injury free he would whinge that he sold himself short.

I guess this is where match payments could come into it. However many games Peats plays this year, that's how many games he counts for match payments under next year's salary cap.

Good question. Only you know the answer to that. All I know is that your sloppy language meant that this is what you appeared to suggest.

Just be more f**ken careful next time, alright.

I didn't read this bit but I assume it is something about LBAs.

A bigger signing than Moses?

There could only be 2 - Cronk or Widdop (and the second is questionable as to whether it's bigger than Moses).

I don't think we'll go after either of them as we already have our halves.

Is there someone I've missed? Would Woods be a bigger signing than Moses? Any other possibilities? I can't think of any.
How the f**k could Widdop be a bigger signing than Moses? It's not even questionable. Moses has so
much more upside. Keep thinking, if we pull it off it will be a massive signing and a little surprising seeing that we seem to be sorted for this position.

Sounds like a fullback then.

The only position we're really sorted for is the two halves. Outside of that there is plenty of room for improvement in the sqaud.
