Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

For the record Bazal your one of the monkey see monkey do.

I would of been one of the Apes who got on two feet, danced and talked while you just squeeled and happily swung around in trees.

Guys like myself and Ram are the type of monkeys the the others folow.

Evolution

So you’re followed around by monkeys? If you’re using monkeys in a derogatory way, why would you want them following you? Doesn’t say much for your way of thinking

Edit - plus that’s naw how evolution works

In his defence he's admitted to being a monkey himself. And monkeys aren't renowned thinkers...

Lemurs, yes, but not monkeys.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sure can.
His tactics like Haslers worked. Smarter monkeys worked his style out.
Seems to keep trying same things while the smarter monkeys started to use round wheels rather then triangle ones. Sure the triangle ones worked ok for a while. Soon we might get a round wheel but the smarter monkeys by that stage will have developed cars.

Do you get it?

I feel like There is 5 or 6 smart monkeys on here me being one. While the stupid monkeys keep to the same page.

Monkey see Monkey do.

Arthur knows what’s wrong. We just don’t have the players to play any different style. Paulo will be a big change, but if he’s going to play longer than 40 minutes in the middle (like he did when he was here before) we can’t afford to also have a dummy half with low work rate. Or another fat prop on the field with him.

Geniuinely smart people don’t have to try and convince others that they are smart.

This is true.

I do think, though, that hindy has a good footy brain.

It's annoying that he keeps trying to prove how smart he is, though.

For a "smart monkey" you've done a really good job of missing the point of the post....

If we're talking monkeys, I kinda see you as a macaque. Really common, dime a dozen monkey, they make a hell of a lot of noise, get into places they have no business being and just generally make a nuisance of themselves, and they like to masturbate in public.

I'm the zaniest most unique monkey on here Id say. Cause im floating on a rocket,ooh yeah, Im floating on a rocket ya ya.

Easy to have a good footy brain when you claim you said one thing despite actually saying another, to be fair.

 

[hindy111]

Genuinely smart people work out how to use your/you're by about age six...

Thats just copying someones theory on how a word should be spelt.
I make my own rules and language.

I deliberately eat a low fibre diet so I've got handy little nuggets to sling about...

I east high fibre so my stools are soft. Otherwise it tears my anus

Ever heard of the stoned ape theory.

At what point did apes decide lets dance and stand on two feet, talk and paint pictures.

Magic mushrooms my friends. That is how we evolved.

Its ok I even annoy myself at times.
You know I dont have any mirrors in the house.

Papalii is playing in the middle now - a better player than Paulo, and because of his s

[TheRam]

Haha sorry, mate!

I do respect your input, too!

What are your thoughts?

Well Moses is a little bit of an enigma at present. No doubt that he has gone way back on what he showed he could do last year. But who hasn't overall in the team this year really?

Hindy made some very good points on him in his overall breakdown worth thinking about.

But what I think right now is no one really knows. Ultimately we won't find the answer to this until he plays in a team that is well balanced up front and what Hindy keeps reminding everyone about but very few seem to get it. Firstly a backrower who can run great lines is vital to a halves ball playing game and intimation factor to edge defenders. Then and also very important is the ability to run over or through defences out wide. When he has players like this who can create and bend the line up front and out wide then the whole team and playmakers opportunities and therefore psyche changes.

He is not the sort of player at this stage who can consistently make smart game management decisions in a losing mentality team. He is to erratic for that. Will that ever change sure can, but he needs to be part of a good roster and leaders within that roster that know how to guide and influence him for 4 or 5 years of mentoring on and off the field. He has never had that. He has always been part of team roster that have had drama and erratic behaviour on and off the field, so all he knows is how to act out like he saw and is seeing through these his developing years.

So how will it go? I think with a bit of luck and hopefully if BA can step up to the plate and jag a backrower, frontrower and dummy half of note and somehow he can somehow muster some real quality leadership(yeah I know, major wishful thinking here), Mannah isn't the type that I am talking about, then I have little doubt that he would settle down and very quickly we would see the best come out of young Moses.

Short of all that happening, it is a 50-50 thing if Moses will ever become a consistently good to great half. In fact I probably lean to the odds being against it. Leadership and quality players are what makes the difference in the careers of players like Moses who everybody that has lived a life can see he is in desperate need of.

Dare I say it, a Gus like figure would do wonders for him. So maybe a more realistic scenario would be Brad Filter. The club should hire him to be our halves skills coach and we all know that both Fitler and Moses have a soft spot for each other. We could do a lot worse, but hey I'm an ideas man, so what would I know. Why would the club want to bring a winner into our very successful football systems? Mad Max, Bernie and BA seems to have all the answers.

Winning!.

Also while I'm at it, anyone who still thinks that we shouldn't re-sign Hayne isn't thinking straight. He still has all the qualities that he has ever had, with the exception of speed. But that too maybe fixable providing we can address two issues.

1. He has a full uninterrupted off season to get the mileage back into his legs, which he hasn't had in 4 seasons and therefore fatigue can set in quite quickly and it can be interpreted as disinterest.

2. We get him back in training with his old sprint training mate Roger Fabri or someone else of the highest quality in this field.

Then I can see Hayne consistently reaching something like the form we all know and love. Imagine that Hayne and a good to great forward pack, a half that can manage and create and a decent dummy half and what that would mean to our performance. Hayne for mine is a keeper, actually a must for around the same money. We really couldn't do any better.

Hindy and I are only a few months out from our trans humanist singularity moment while you guys are still making sounds with your mouths...oh and El Dicko is still using his to eat out the big red anus of the boy monkey on the same branch as him.

 

[Bolgeel]

Maybe/Probably not. . But Hayne with his hands on the ball more often last night might have got us the win. . If he's in the halves, do we not maximise that chance, especially in the last 7 games of 2018 that mean jack shit for us??

Yeah possibly but the halves should be smart enough to feed the most potent weapon on the field and do so on the edges where he will create chances for the team.
They play too many forward hit ups with no 2nd phase play and then use the last 2 plays only to feed hayne etc (usually with block plays) too easy to read in defense hence the reason we are fingered this year

 

[Bolgeel]

I think Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater have had a lot to do with Bellamy’s success. He has said enough. Do you not agree?

Exactly!!!

 

[Eelogical]

It appears we can't make our mind up whether Gutherson is a fullback, winger or five eighth, Norman a five eighth or fullback, Hayne a centre, fullback or five eighth, or French a fullback or winger. When we keep shuffling them about we bring uncertainty to each players mindset, and consequently, the game plan. All great players but we have too many square pegs for round holes.

Add Taka, Tepai and Smith to that list.
