Rumours and Stuff

[I'm a loser baby...]

Anyone reckon BA will be promoting Salmon in 2019?

No. He'll probably just go back to being an assistant coach.

If we did get him, and won our first four games, what would our record look like pete?

Four an 0.....

 

[parrathruandthru]

Why is smoked salmon so much more expensive than a fillet of salmon? Is the smoking process really that expensive?

This talk of Hayne at centre or fullback reminds me a couple of years back when phantom/bart was trying to argue that centre is a more physically taxing position than fullback and that Jarryd wasn't fit enough to play centre, unlike Ryan Morgan. Therefore Morgan was a better player.

That merkin really had something against Hayne, what's happened to him?

 

[84 Baby]

He now stalks Suity in real life.

Don't tell Suity

Well, first he left us at the end of 2014 after winning the Dally M (jointly with JT).
He spent nearly 2 years in the US where he managed a starting roster spot in the NFL before coming back to Aus. in late 2016 where he signed with the Titans for the latter part of season 2016 and for 2017.
He rejoined Parra for 2018 on a one year deal at reportedly a greatly reduced salary and has been playing mostly centre for us although he has missed a chunk of games due to injury. Since getting back to Aus. he has been accused of rape in the US while he was there and is awaiting a civil trial set down for January 2020.

EDIT: between NFL and Titans he tried out and failed to make the Fiji Rugby 7's team for the 2016 Olympics.

Oh, you meant what's happened to Phantom/Bart...
Only Twizzle knows the answer to that mystery.

Bart hated Hayne the moment he replaced his favourite player Burt at fullback.

thanks scoop

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?

We'll rue the day we get rid of Norman and replace him with a nuffy who'll do little to fix our halves problem. According to the stats Moses is our problem child anyway.

 

[Glenneel]

Well you have proven me wrong sign him up for 5 years, getting a Newcastle discard is very exciting.

Would prefer Watson to Lamb tbh.

 

[Glenneel]

As I mentioned, we’ve put up with his shit for 5 years now and have been at least competitive in 3 of those 5 years. It seems ridiculous to get rid of him a year early and pay him to play elsewhere...especially when it will lead to an inferior replacement coming into the team.

From all reports Brown has a good head on his shoulders so I don’t think Norman’s behaviour is likely to rub off on him, but I sure as shit think he can learn plenty from an on-field perspective.

Wouldn't the best solution be to let Norman play out his contract and give Brown game time next year to see how he goes? Bring Brown into top 30 and play him when injuries hit our halves.

Nah we should just unload Norman at all costs and replace him with a plodder like Brock Lamb. And then make excuses on why it isn’t working.

 

[Glenneel]

Is it safe to assume Norman is BA’s scapegoat for 2108?

Bloody hell did I die for 90 years and come back reincarnated?! I see Parra are still shit!
