I wonder if this MM stuff is a ploy to get him out of there, nothing would surprise me with player agents.
Turnbull should worry about running the country and leave rugby league the f*ck aloneAbsolutely... PMs have been manipulating the media since the start of the NRL v super league war... this is no different.
I'd be very surprised if he plays another first grade game for the tigers again...
It's starting to lead to the kind of bad press that will hurt Cleary's recruiting.Absolutely... PMs have been manipulating the media since the start of the NRL v super league war... this is no different.

It's not just about whom you sign, but how much you have to pay.He has already got Reynolds, Matalino and Macqueen. I reckon if cleary gets Packer (likely) lolohea (likely) and maybe someone like hoppa or another edge player they will have done a pretty good job of recruitment - under some pretty shit circumstances.
When do you turn 23???People forget what they where like at 22.
I was very unreliable. I didnt give a f**k about anyone or anything. I was fearless.
Time and life changes you. And so does surroundings.
If you don't understand sports fandom maybe you need a different hobby.
bread and circuses
entertainment or political policies used to keep the mass of people happy and docile.
So you claim to understand the mentality yet you criticise as if it's a choice people make. It's like your loyalty to former Eels scapegoats - it is irrational and unconscious. There's no need to put shit on merkins.You are a rather simple creature at your core. It's precisely the fact that I understand sports fandom that allows me to look objectively at things without being manipulated. I even mentioned tribal psychology which probably didn't register in your primal mind. I enjoy an Eels win and a good eels team as much as the next guy, but I'm not a mindless drone that gets worked up like a little child by results and player movements. At the end of the day you are not successful just because the team is successful. You are not the Eels, you are just a consumer that pays money to watch people that are good at something perform. You can like doing or watching something and have an opinion on something all while being outcome independent.
Holding this view is called being in a position of power. You should try it out man, you won't be as combative anymore. This is just entertainment, divest your ego from it. Applies to all areas of life. It's all a game brother. It's why I can appreciate Hayne's success while others still go mental at the mere mention of his name. It's why I don't automatically hate every coach and halfback that has left the club over the last decade just because they didn't get a premiership. At the end of the day it's all just
TL;DR:
Yeah f**king smash em merkins GO THE EELS !!!! !

This post has just triggered Wicked Witch of the West.LOL
Can I shit on you as well? It would bring me immense pleasure. Perhaps we can arrange a dinner party with all of my scapegoat friends. I'd say I don't have a loyalty, it's more of an objective grasp of reality. You are still stuck in the matrix.
Id like to shit on you, Pou. Just for the irony.

Are you for real man???
I'm not comparing players, I'm comparing the situation ....
I hope the kid is another Kenny and helps us jag a premiership or 2 but I am intrigued by your statement that he's far superior to Sandow, I think you'll that Sandow was quite a player at the same age as Moses is now so I'd challenge you to tell us all how Moses is far superior...
By the way, didn't you say yesterday on another website that Cameron King was replacing Kaysa today?? ... what happened there hotshot?
Calm down Staggs. I only said King was likely as he was training in the position.
And Staggs, you forgot to commend me on last games Will Smith's debut at five-eighth scoop.
If you're willing to bag someone for a mistake, you should also congratulate them for a win

As long as you don't get any on my moustache.LOL

The principle stated in human terms is similar to 'the best indicator of future behaviour is past behaviour'. Say a friend steals from you 49 times but on the 50th occasion alone with your wallet they decide not to steal your money. Are you going to leave that person alone with your wallet for the 51st time? Are you naive enough to leave them alone after a few times?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I think you misunderstood my point. Sometimes a club/coach make what, on the balance of probabilities is a good decision, but simply draw the short straw. Separating poor decisions from bad luck is not a simple process.
