Rumours and Stuff

Ringing off the hook because merkins expect us to keep paying overs. The only way to break the cycle is to break the cycle. We need to start winning again before buying big names.

You asked for it merkin.

Mons phone was ringing off the hook.

Nek Minnet we can’t attract flies ffs!!

The trolly boy Tiger has been an utter failure at every level. @Delboy has a very valid point.

RINGING OFF THE PHONE HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

THAT WAS A GOLD NUGGET

I'm getting sick and tired from your relentless bitching about signings. I'm gonna put it on you now. Tell me who you would target from the elite players available and off contract soon and what you would pay to get them over and who you'd let go......

Cmon now, give us your 5 year plan....

Sorry mate, but I’m with @Delboy on this. It’s not about who we’re targeting — we could be interested in plenty of players. The issue is we can’t land them because the pitch, the delivery, whatever you want to call it, is hopeless.

How were the Tigers and the Dogs able to pull off such strong signings when they were stuck in the doldrums? Why can’t we?

Simple — it’s f**king Mark O’Neill. The bloke is terrible and widely known as one of the worst operators going. Whether he’s lowballing re-signings or just sitting back watching as other clubs pounce, the end result is the same: the plodder never gets to f**k the prom queen.

Don’t believe Gus for a second.

He had never met Galvin

 

[Timana]

We could use Xerri but the f**kers Mon and Jim’s mowing would not know what talent is unless the player was over 40.

C'mon Snake, he's working on the MCinnes contract. He's overworked as it is

Please don't get me wrong...I too, am pissed that we can't land any elite signings.....it seriously blows my mind....we should be a very attractive club, but we aren't cause, I agree with pou, we need to start winning, and then we hold the cards.....

No one elite would want to come to a club that can't have a genuine tilt at the premiership unless we throw overs......

So my question remains to everyone, put forward what your approach would be if you were in MONS position.....does anyone have a better solution.....I think he's between a rock and a hard place and I'm getting over the continual blame game.

Sounds like this is more of a dogs contacting Penrith directly - not an open market put your offers in type of thing

Take leaf out of the raiders recruitment..

Raided the under 19s players from other clubs.

We could give them our shit Tago

 

[T-Boon]

I'm sure they know who the good players are, but the players also know who the good clubs are.

We just fingered the premiers.

Yeah....but we all want elite rep player's...NOW

 

[Legal Eel]

That’s the difference - every other person on this forum wants parra to be one of the clubs.

but that would end your one great enjoyment in life

the Knights seem to be signing a lot of players and building a good squad without the winning part starting first. We should have a better pitch to elite players than the Knights.

We want long term success we have waited 40 years i think if we could see a plan in place that would satisfy us short term

It takes 2 to Tago.

they have a proven recruiter in O’Sullivan, we have O’Neil

Yeah.....just think about what you have said.....and how they have signed them......

It's a fine line.

They have gambled on their salary cap for the next 10 years . It could prove to be genius.....or it could be a massive disaster...

I remember when we signed Hayne on massive money and everyone was popping the champagne.....but we could only afford fringe players around him after his signing. It cruelled our salary cap

Its only when he left, that we were able to build a squad that got us to a grand final.

I’m starting to think you’re not just sharing pics of your cute puppy. I also suspect that’s not actually your dog.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How were the Tigers and the Dogs able to pull off such strong signings when they were stuck in the doldrums?

Because they had more overpaid players off contract, meaning more cap space.

Why can’t we?

In recent years we re-signed Moses, and Lomax, JAC, Williams, Walker, TDS, Pezet and Kelly. And we’re still waiting to get Paulo and Matterson off our books.

I would love us to be one of the big clubs. I’m hoping our academy will get close to the success of the Penrith academy.

But I’m not going to call us a big club until we prove we are. You’re living in fantasy land to claim otherwise, and then taking it out on me when you realise I’m right.
