Rumours and Stuff

[Twizzle]

No but I do wonder why a claim that reports of a salary is X were deleted today, when a Tigers clown got away with telling us all that Moses on 850k was a "FACT" fpr two days without any intervention....is this not a rumours thread?

I suggest you go back and check the Tigers fan will all the goss and see how many of his posts are still standing.

The thread title does not absolve people from playing by the rules, you only have to read my post above to see why. 3 people all 3 different interpretations of what they read or heard.

Are you suggesting Evans is a poor meter maker? Not sure you're following, but he's a 10m per run guy.

His minutes seem quite low in his career so far, so clearly he is filling the battering ram role. Would be interesting to see if he can take 30-40 mpg and still be as productive.

Last season he averaged 9m a run. And less than 90m per game. He made as little as 48m in 30 odd mins and as many as 142 in 40 odd. 9 or 10 or 15m a run is little use if you only make 4 runs

I'm following just fine. He is nothing like David Klemmer at this stage and two very good games and one solid one this season doesn't make him a top flight forward. He is a big body with plenty of potential who sometimes turns up and chews off plenty of metres, and sometimes plays like Justin Poore in a moonboot. I've never suggested he's a bad signing, I just feel like you're getting a bit too carried away.

Ok so if I say the RUMOUR is 950k it's all good. Gotcha.

Nathan Peats is off contract next year isn't he?

He wouldn't be cheap, but gosh id love him back at our club, with Pritchard at No 14

Yep, Peats definitely fits the bill in terms of where we are lacking, although is there any suggestion that he is interested in returning ?

Aren't you the one getting carried away?

9m per run is excellent for a prop (for any forward!)
He is built quite a lot like David Klemmer at this stage and runs the ball with similar gusto.
Nobody has a perfect run every time.
Nobody is saying he is Origin level.
I am suggesting he is not at all like Darcy Lussick in playstyle and providing an alternative playstyle to compare him to, while at the same time using the commonly accepted 'lite', which in sporting terms evokes images of someone who has a similar playstyle, but is nowhere near as good.

How am I getting carried away by saying he isn't like Lussick, because he isn't a plodding defensive hitter, but more of a damaging ball runner?

Reynolds on the RUMOURED 950K is overs IMO, and makes the RUMOURED 700/750 and even 850K for Moses seem like a good deal.

I'm not the one who compared to him to a player who made 100m+ in every game last season and this and averages 161m a game this year.

As I said, it's very different averaging 10m a run for 10 runs one game and then 4 or 5 the next, as Evans does, and doing it at an average of 16 runs a game as Klemmer does. Calling him Klemmer Lite is getting more than a little carried away.

He doesn't believe it so it's not a fact....

it's not a fact until Brett Kenny says so

If you say so it must be Baz. My apologies for getting carried away. Please come and set me straight again in the future.

Lol. Settle petal. We'll have to agree to disagree, it's not that tough. Unless you're Pou of course.

Bulldogs apparently refusing to release players for city country game. (Source abc radio news just then.) That's a can of worms.

Something to do with a short turn around, they have the Cowboys on Thursday night after the rep round.

Tough. It's no different to the short turnaround from SOO to a Friday night game or even a Sat night game.

Hey I already said I'm sorry!
