Rumours and Stuff

[Eelementary]

Not another who accepts mediocrity. You must accept our recruitment is poor and some players need to be dropped. French, I am a fan of his, but he has been poor since coming back from knee surgery. Needs to be dropped to regain confidence, Gutho to replace him. Gennings or Dane Aka....? to the centres to replace either Taka or Auva'a (they can't do any worse, can they?). O'Brien is another park player and we have heaps of them along with Mannah, Alvaro and Matagi. Vave can be destructive but plays only short minutes and seems well over-weight. Moses defends too upright imo so gets pushed off too easily.
Anyway, sounds like I'm a big whinger, but just look who Cleary has purchased in a couple of months compared with us. I can guarantee those purchases will propel their team into the 8 while we twiddle our thumbs hoping to make the 8! Those players were available, BA knew it, but did nothing, that is what I'm whinging about.

I'm not going to get into the playground attitude of name-calling - rationality doesn't equate to accepting mediocrity -, and I don't think you're a whinger.

I get why you're frustrated - I am, too.

But perhaps neither George Jennings, nor Dane Aukofolau, are up to First Grade yet, and hence their omission?

Maybe our second tier cap is already f**ked, and Arthur doesn't want to screw us over more?

I'm sure Arthur targeted players to fit into his system - and it's not as if we signed nobody.

Kane Evans is an astute signing.

Moses was a good decision, despite his clear flaws.

For the first time since the Brian Smith days, we have a coach with a clue, and a board with a brain; but undoing a decade's worth f destruction will, unfortunately, take some time.

We were well on our way last year - then the salary cap shit exploded in our faces, we released the NSW hooker (which I always thought was a huge mistake), and Foran's personal issues caught up with him.

Those dramas have set us back, but with our coach and board working professionally, we will turn the corner, and sooner, rather than later.

Nah anything less than instant overnight success is mediocrity

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And if you don't piss your knickers over it you're 'accepting mediocrity'.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Nah, this is just for future reference mate. After today's signing activity by the Storm.

Wow. That was subtle. Too good for this thread.

Thankyou, much more reasonable than the reply I had tapped out. Dinner time came at a good time for me tonight.

Someone here can go f**k themself. You know who you are.

 

[Bazal]

Oooh is it me? I hope it's me, I could use a good rogering....

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I dunno. What did you do?

 

[Bazal]

Well that depends. Are you in any way associated with the Australian Federal Police?

No mate, I promise.* I've got nothing to do with that fine organisation. Feel free to bear your soul.

Nate Myles, even at this stage of his career, is better than Joe Stimson, Slade Griffin, Tui Kamikamika and Mark Nicholls, which is who he will compete with for a spot in their Top 17 at the Storm for the remainder of the season.

I don't disagree. I just doubt highly that his career at the Storm will be either long nor prosperous. The large fore headed Mong will
Probably end up with a premiership now I have said that however he has regressed remarkably in the past six months.

The "acceptance of mediocrity" cry! How the circle turns. That was how we ended up with f**kwits running the club.....

In that case the only thing I've ever done is commit a series of unsolved and surprisingly vicious bank robberies dating back to the mid 1990s*

[hineyrulz]

Baz is the Postcard bandit.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Myles still works hard in defence. You need blokes like that in your team.

What? Blokes that tackle with their forehead?

 

[Bazal]

I look nothing like Tom Long

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Baz is the Postcard bandit.

Yeah but he used an asterisk to give himself a get-out clause. Our case is f**ked.

 

[Wicked Witch Of The West]

Timmy is our future....

 

[Bazal]

Hah! I knew you were the fuzz!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Goddamnit... I've gotta stop doing that!
