Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Doesn't mean we should be signing him or he'd be a valuable signing for us. I don't see the point in signing Lamb, decent player but he'd want a long-term deal and a sizeable salary, not worth it.



imo

We don't offer what he wants, we offer what he is worth to us. Then he either takes it or leaves it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Because we are stone motherless last??

Because we're down on form not ability! If we lacked ability we would've been last for three straight years, like 2011-13, or the Knights prior to this year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hmm

And I was right, as proven by the experts' predictions. The fact this year turned out poorly wasn't due to the strength of the roster. It was due to internal issues that nobody could have foreseen.

But now apparently losing Semi is a big problem:

My point is it wasn't the reason for our problems this year. Losing a winger won't send you from 16 wins to potentially only three. It's idiocy to think so.

Haven’t really watched him, but he hasn’t played a great deal of grade at Newcastle this year. Has injury hampered him or is he bog average? Can he provide more than Corey?

Lamb is shank.

What? You clearly said we would have a better team, with better for and against and would win more finals games. Wrong on all counts, however you want to spin it.

Not to be pedantic or anything we didn't finish last in 2011.

Predictions are just that - predictions. There's always a chance something will go wrong.

And that's fine but when you make posts like this thinking you're the greatest rugby league expert on here you are going to get called out on it.

A better question is when have I ever been wrong about anything. The only time was with Sandow, and I learnt a lot about the game from watching his rise and demise. Since then I've been right about everything.

Yep...like your prediction. Yet another thing you got wrong.

Another thing Pou got wrong. You’re on fire this arvo Pou.

But you're comparing apples with oranges. You're talking about losing a guessing game as if it's the same thing as not understanding probabilities or cause and effect.

Are you saying all the experts that tipped us to do well this year have no idea either?

No I knew we didn't finish last. I'm usually the one to point out we didn't finish second last either. We jumped ahead of the Titans and Raiders in that final round. Here's one of my favourite posts:

But was old mate wrong in assuming they would finish ahead of us? it was the most likely outcome. Just because the dice fell a different way doesn't mean his understanding of the odds was wrong.

No but the experts aren't claiming they have never been wrong since 2012 (or whenever Sandow signed with us) like you are.

So you agree BA knows what he is doing then? He obviously isn’t f**king up our cap like others did (paying players to play elsewhere) and will only release Norman if a substantial amount of his contract is paid for by another club!!

What will it do to;

1. Norman’s confidence if he stays an eel?

2. The relationship between him and BA If he remains an eel.

If Norman stays an Eels for 2019 he'll be playing out of his skin. Contract year and all.

Who would seriously perform for their boss knowing they’re not wanted?

LOL Whoops.

Don’t forget we are down on luck.

Actually I’ve heard plenty of them say they got the eels completely wrong this year.

 

[hineyrulz]

Yes I do!! If we were getting flogged each week obviously no, but considering how poor we have been at times, we have actually lost 10 games by 10 or less points which is bugger all!! Very fixable!!

Anyhow if we are still shit next year we can look forward to a new coach in 2020!!

Deluded.
