Rumours and Stuff

[strider]

The comforting news is that we get to play in Canberra in Canberra this weekend.

We beat the Raiders down there in 2006 so looks promising !

So you are saying we are due .... cool

 

[strider]

Are you saying we scored the same amount of tries yesterday as a team with at least 4 origin level forwards and we have none? We got beaten by decisions to take penalty goals or not?
Wow - we must have played well or those Origin candidates played shit.

They're just the forwards mate .... all their origin/rep backs aswell .... we were f**kin awesome to be competative

 

[Eelementary]

You seem like too nice a guy. Empathetic and caring.
I wish I was more like that at times.

You're the best you that there is- and you're pretty good at that, mate!

Times are tough right now, but they're bound to change!

 

[Chipmunk]

You'll be fine.

How did you get inside my house?

 

[hineyrulz]

Yes a few times. 4 or 5.

Failed every time.

Alvaro is bog average. His defense is good cause misses little tackles. But its not first class cause he doesnt hit hard with crunching tackles.His attack game is also garbage. Anyone can cart the ball up.
Lets compare him to James Graheme in his peak who is also a worker. Difference was along with his 40 tackles and 150mtrs he brought great leadership a short pass before the line and the odd crunching tackle. His running game was also superior. Why he would get MOM and was a big part of the Dogs success.



Im sure Danny is a nice guy. He is however a bog average first grade player. Handy worker but bring f**k all else. If he develops a pass before the line and an offload he may become a solid prop. At this rate in 3 yrs he will be finished in first grade due to the amount of beating he cops with his running style.

Careful Hindy, Bazal will get extremely upset if you criticise his lovechild by stating the truth. He'll come back with personal comments as his only counter.

If Alvaro is Bog average i’d hate to think What Penishands is.

To get $920,000 in the hand here in Aus, you need to gross somewhere near $1.7M p.a.
That is $1,700,000 or about $63,000 per game or just over 18% of the salary cap.

An offer of $750k would see him get about $430k p.a in the hand... so less than half of what he is getting in France.

In Aust sportspeople and artists can average their income to lessen the tax.

 

[Glenneel]

He stats are better then origin and premiership winner Tim Glabsy!!

If Alvaro continues to perform like he has, he will be playing NRL until he is at least 30 and chalk up 200 or so games!!

Every club needs an Alvaro type player!! Even the great Bellamy and future immortal Smith agrees!!

Not sure Bellemy would take Alvaro if he was available, too small for him.

We have the following middle forwards off contract:

Gower
Matagi
Scott
Stone (maybe)
Terepo
Vave

Would they free up much cash (allowing for replacements into the squad)? Only Scott and Vave would be on overs.

Cheap replacements already within the club could be:

Stone (22 next year)
Dressler (21)
Tupou (21)
Kaufusi (20)

Depending on our recruitment for next year, and we need 2 quality middle forwards, I'd let go all those off contract except Stone, and bring in those 3 players you mentioned as cheap replacements. Also keep Williams if maintains current form and bring in Faingaa while looking at what other forwards we let go. Needs to be a mixture of youth and experience.

I've got a 2 year old at home. Maybe you'd bring him into the 1st grade squad too.
I mean you've got as much knowledge as his footballing ability as you do Stone, Faingaa, Dresler, Tupou or Kaufusi

Averaging income is only to cover the 'leaner' earning years. The ATO does not give high income earners a tax cut so over time they would pay the same as anyone else.

Do you actually watch footy ? Or just talk shit?

FFS Alvaro is bigger then 2 of Bellamy's definite top 17 middle forwards - Glabsy and Bromwich!!!!

Careful, the miserable prick will say Alvaro is your lovechild or some equally brainless horseshit...

Hey Glen, I've got a mate that plays prop. I'd wager you've seen him play as often as you've seen blokes like Dressler

Stop being ridiculous!

Your 2 old is already signed with the Roosters.

CA-CHING!

Yeah but it's fairly obvious by mate you mean that in the biblical sense and of course are referring to Alvaro

Yeah, but not "officially".

Yeah, but not "officially".

But I still get a free car? Sorry my son gets a free car?
