Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Im with BA. He knows what to do.

Interesting last couple of pages, we'd be mad to not try and look at Hayne if we can get him for the right price. Hey he might be happy to take under and help win a premiership(dreaming i know)

If he wants to be here and command top dollar i'd say thanks but no thanks, French onion is your best bet.

 

[Gazzamatta]

This Hayne argument sums Parramatta up, honestly.

Is he gonna be as good as he was? Are we gonna be a one man team again? Probably.

People here are willing to sacrifice the good squad we have built (what's left of it) to accommodate a guy who left us high and dry and could very well be a shadow of his former self.

How about buy a f**king hooker and a prop who eats some metres instead?

Far more important in my eyes.

Yup. Exactly.
I am a huge fan of BA and trust him totally but it dosent stop some doubts in my mind. I was never a supporter of buying Jennings. For me it smelt of desperation. Yes hes a quality centre but if the figures being quoted re his cap impact next year and beyond are correct, he is totally overpaid. The original plan of Gutherson and Taka in the centres would have probably been as effective and certainly would have had a positive impact on our 2016 cap disaster. In my mind I dont think BA got that decision correct.

I think The Plane should go and play Japanese Rugby after the Olympics and then we should look at signing him after that. After all the Japanese Rugby season ends at the end of January. Maybe not even sign him up to play until the end of April.

The Plane is far more value to us as a short term signing than he is on a full season deal. We get little to no value out of The Plane from November to February to start with, which would be 1/3rd of a full season contract.

You got it chief.

You got it chief.

Its nice to dream Gaz, every week I think I'm a chance of winning the lotto and have worked out where I am going to tell my boss to shove it. Every week I head in the next day and give him an extra big good morning

 

[Gary Gutful]

Where would you get him to shove it Hiney? There are a few options.

 

[strider]

I think pou had a point. What hayne is already getting in TPAs is somewhat irrelevant ... he will be expecting $X more from NRL end of story.

Regardless of whether teams offer legit or dodgy stuff, its entirely clear NRL players and their managers expect a club to do legwork with finding these so called "TPAs" ... and they ARE entirely dependent on a player being at a club - the NRL just couldnt be f**ked making an issue of that.

And we are probably gonna struggle to get any unless we can get some really good backing onboard real soon.

We are gonna need to accomodate more of anyones salary under the cap for a period compared to other clubs

 

[Gary Gutful]

Be careful agreeing with Pou, Strider. Merkins get funny about that sort of stuff.

if i win lotto i'm going to buy a ferrari, drive it into work and do doughnuts in the parking lot

 

[parra-matters]

It's like Hayne is 32 and washed up and everyone is complaining that we might sign him.
Like he is what 27 or 28, in his prime, fit and the best athletic ability of anyone i have ever seen play Rugby League, he's a parra junior and loves the club.
Why wouldn't you move a few plodders around to sign him?

I've seen you drive, can't see you doing donuts unless it's Crispy Creme's

Dear Jarryd,

Go back to Parramatta on minimum wage and give all your earnings to charity. The 84 Baby Foundation is a good charity.

Sincerely,
The Man Upstairs

Probably a few too many Gaz, actually as far as Bosses go he's not too bad I've had a lot worse.

But just the satisfaction of going in and telling your Boss I've just won the lotto and am retiring and you can kiss my arse would be up there with the Eels finally winning another GF.

 

[84 Baby]

I'm not sure the etiquette of quoting voices in my head I've heard

+1. Also, why does everyone think that we will be prevented from getting TPAs approved in the future ? Legit TPAs will be ticked off just like any other club.

A friend of mine hated his boss. He was working in Singapore. He found a new job in Japan and burnt his bridge when he left.

He had 2 good years in japan rising up quite high up the corporate ladder.

Then his company in Japan merged with his old company and his old boss became his boss again !!

I'd actually go into work and do a really, really half-assed job (well moreso than I already do), then when I got called in to be fired I'd have the cash I'd earned in that time and say " you can't fire me, I quit and you can keep your damn money" and throw the wads of money in his face. Actually given how much I earn, it'd probably be coins.

:lol: it would be even better if you get your boss to wear a Jamie Lyon mask.
