Rumours and Stuff

They will be getting rid of the grand final though. It's just a waste of every merkin's time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This way you can crown two premiers after the preliminary finals. How much better will that be for memberships!

 

[T.S Quint]

Why don't they just award a Premiership trophy after every game.
Imagine winning 16 Premierships in one year!

 

[El Diablo]

Can you follow Fumbleball full time please???

and take Gus and Rammy with him

 

[Gronk]

Double

Pauli Pauli also hasn't been re-signed by the Knights.

I reckon he would be a decent project player to pick up on a small contract.

Pauli Pauli was going to be our Jason Toumolololololo.

3 games of origin gives you 6 weeks of shit footy with all best players out or being rested and byes etc.
Most people I know dont follow during that period.

Of course it changes things. Parra do not get 2 points against storm for starters during origin period. We would of finished 5th. That's one change. But im sure if looked across board be a lot more results gone differently.
So many good games ruined with stars missing.

Put a sock in your mouth. Or does El dikflop do that for you?

Pauli Pauli would be a handy addition.

Latu be ok as would Kikau. RCG is the best front rower in game. Do you think he will be let go?
Tamou if Duke pays half. Make turnip head sweat and get him cheap. Big body but not worth the 600k+ reported.

You want to give the teams who spend the most even more of an advantage?

How many blockbuster games are ruined during this 6 week period.
You have 3 games of the best players. Most the time the 3rd games a dead rubber and balls just thrown around.Game not taken seriously.
During the origin period you have how many nrl games of lower quality? Id say around 25
So 2.5 games vs 25......

Stand alone Origins.

Easy

When we beat storm its not taken seriously amongst fans. They had all their best players out.
May as well just have a bye. I didnt enjoy the game either cause I knew it was basically their B side.

No issue with that. Could play some internationals thst time as well. Fiji,Samoa etc.

I was there in Melbourne for the game and LOVED it.....A win is a win. Makes up for the times when boot is on the other foot..Take em when you get em....

Still not welcome to join in.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But he can sit on the end of the bed with a six pack.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Exactly. If you want the benefits of having the best players in the game, there's going to be some downsides. No bastard will feel sorry for us next year if Gutho Brown and Moses get picked for origin. But Bazal is right too. Standalone origins, they have to find a way.

 

[strider]

Stand alone Origins.

Easy

Fans are struggling to stay interested already ... 3 weeks of little footy will drive things even more downhill

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I understand Origin is popular but I know there are plenty of fans like myself who just see it as an interruption to their club's NRL season.
