Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

So was Kelly.

Robbie Rochow too. I'm sure there was even more than these three guys in his team.

 

[84 Baby]

Why would he choose the Titans over any of the big name clubs unless they were offering more money.

I'm guessing, I'm assessing. And while I might be wrong I reckon the probability of being right is much higher.

There's no chance of being wrong about that.

Profile, chance at title, thinks the other club/s are merkins. Heaps of reasons. And yeah I guess there's no chance of you being wrong about YOU reckoning the probability is higher

 

[Chipmunk]

He mustn't have wanted to live in Sydney after all.

Perhaps the mob offering to pay the most up front with a chance to make the finals this season was the real priority.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

15 other clubs didn't make massive offers to Foran either. The coach is fallible.

Regardless, I'm glad he has resigned.

He resigned? f**ken hell, I knew it would get to him eventually.

 

[Happy MEel]

I'm sure they didn't. But ours included a significant portion intended to remain outside the cap. So our offer wasn't massive either, from a salary cap point of view. Looks like Arthur refuses to spend more than about $800k of his cap on a single player.

800k isn't chump change and by your own logic, was clearly the highest offer. You have also said in the past that foran's value was his leadership and off field contribution. Turns out you and BA may have got that one wrong.

Widdop, Justin O'Neil and Procter to name a few...

 

[Happy MEel]

Yep...and then re-signed until the end of 2019

 

[phantom eel]

Maybe Maxi is aiming at providing stability but is it really the job of a temporary administrator to decide who the coach should be? Particularly when he's contracted for next year anyway.

Yes, re-signing Arthur was a no brainer - and neded to happen so we could negotiate deals with players beyond 2017.

All Hail the King!

 

[El Diablo]

...

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Liam Foran too. Widdop too.

Of course it was. What point are you trying to make?

i][/You have also said in the past that foran's value was his leadership and off field contribution. Turns out you and BA may have got that one wrong.

I said his leadership and defence, and we have proof that his defence was strong, but no proof that he didn't provide leadership. Just because his personal life is a mess doesn't mean he wasn't able to compartmentalise. That could explain why Arthur judged him poorly.

 

[phantom eel]

Wonder if Foran got onboard a 15-10 Manly bet? Two minutes to go and it's still posible...

 

[phantom eel]

I guess not... Eddie mightn't have had any money on tonight?

I never thought BA was the most insightful bloke. I think it's his temperament that makes him a good coach.

I never thought BA was the most insightful bloke. I think it's his temperament that makes him a good coach.

More importantly his love for Parra.

 

[Avenger]

I wonder how much are we offering Jordan McLean? At least $400k I reckon.

 

[phantom eel]

And a yacht on TPAs...?

Ummm....wow. I'm not sure what else is needed to convince you Foran is no leader. If BA paid 800k (and then 1.2mill) for defence then that's more of a mistake then I thought.

Do the Storm let many players go who are under contract?
