Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

I have to say that Matt Moylan doesn't come across as being too happy or engaged at the moment.... I realise he's a fairly miserable merkin at the best of times but even for him he seems decidedly apathetic at the moment...

You'd be miserable too if your team was busted and your fellow elite players are getting signed for squillions. Meanwhile you stupidly signed until 2021. Rumoured deal is $2.8 for 4 years.

Fancy a coach being upset about soft tries .... a new coach will definitely solve that problem .... i think its horseshit rumours

mitch rein has been given a release from the panthers. destination unknown

Rein could still become an Eel next season should the club’s bid to get Nathan Peats back from Gold Coast fail.

If it succeeds, expect negotiations with the Titans to heat-up.

Here is some RUMOURS about the panfers.

The players don't like his tactics? So they want to throw it around less and be tough in defence?

Here is some RUMOURS about the panfers.

I don't think this is even rumour anymore, but further to that another rumour I've heard is there's a deeper issue there with essentially 2 factions (not just in playing group) forming around the locals and everyone else. I reckon some in Panfers already have Griffin out the door and a specific (& obvious) replacement in line

 

[RazorRam0n]

moylan has bought his own tickets i reckon, he's listened to too many lockyer comparisons and forgotten that's he's already 26.

time is not on his side, the potential he showed lockyer was already doing that at 18. no wonder he's been setup to fail.

Surely not Gould?

I never saw the comparisons to Lockyer in him to be honest, apart from a similar running style.
He has none of the vision nor the toughness or the skill of Lockyer. He is not even in the ball park of a Lockyer.
I rate Norman higher than Moylan. Norman started as a fullback and moved to the halves like Lockyer but still is no where near his class ether.
So why do we even compare players to past greats?
Well it's the media that do it don't they.

I'm not even certain where Gould falls in the supposed factions, but there is a potential replacement who definitely fits in the local category

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Cartwright?

I reckon Moylan has a similar attitude to Jarryd Hayne. When he wants to play, he's a world-beater but when he's not interested, he plays like he has been lately.

100% right, moylan is a silkier runner than norman and not black. that's why

Cartwright?

Ding ding ding

I am only curios of the men who wont pee in urinals. They go into the cubicle. I quite enjoy the urinals - Just flop it out and let go.

I never do that Hindy, hate the thought of it hitting the trough and getting someone else's pee on it. Best to keep control otherwise its like a fire hose, goes everywhere.

Hayne at least had an attitude to defence. Moylan couldn't look any less interested in making a tackle. Can't believe he put his hand up for 5/8th for NSW. He'd be nowhere near my team

Agreed.

Hook seems pretty calm but even he appears to have lost his patience with them...

So there's one thing not in our favour when trying to convince players to come to us for less....

We are the most powerfull club in the NRL. We are PARRAMATTA. We will have the BEST stadium of any NRL team. We have the whole CITY dedicated to our team. Unlike the roosters/souths.

People outside of Sydney do not realise but the money being spent in this city is massive. It will be the biggest city behind Sydney in 10 yrs. We are competitive. A team on the rise. A good board. And great history. Players would be lining up to play for us in future.

 

[hindy111]

Surely not Gould?

The return of the DUKE. I just fainted.

 

[hindy111]

I'm weak at the knees.

I expect some massive signings if we miss out on Peats. We are way underspent for 2018. Besides Moses and Evans we are still a fair bit light on especially upfront and on the wing.

I can see us enquiring on Graham or Kasiano. I'd even try and entice Junior Paulo back even though he is still contracted to the Raiders in 2018.

Edit : Fafita is a player I'd also enquire about.

Agree, short another 1 or 2 big middle forwards plus dh. We don't appear to be in any hurry to sign anybody. Just hope others don't swoop in and get the best of the rest. Seen BJ Lailua's brother play in St George's reserve team we should go for him (I know a backrower) but big, plays big minutes, very creative and also a try scorer himself. Joe Ofangourie? & Jai Arrow still insigned by Broncos are just some of the options.
Are we waiting until cap sorted and hoping clubs have to offload players? If so they will only offload the worse of their top 25.
