Rumours and Stuff

[Gary Gutful]

He was a great signing according to some.

Yep, great post Hineysightrulz.

It’s easy to be a genius when you never take a risk and just sling shit after someone has already made a difficult decision.

He was bought to the club to provide leadership which we sadly, still lack. We bought in Foran then Scott for similar reasons. I heard Hayne say that BA wants him to be a leader. Im sure I recall identical comments from Norman, Gutho and Moses. Our latest signing, Ferguson stated that the appeal of coming to Parra is because BA wants him to be a leader.
So what happens to all this leadership ambition? I dunno and im guessing no one else does. One theory is "are these players allowed to lead"? Wtf knows.

Maybe BA is challenging each of them to step up and be a leader and none of them are up to the challenge.

Wasn’t a parra junior, he was here for 6 months or so..........

Hindysight111 isn’t concerned with such trivial detail.

Could be although Im probably a tad tough on Scott.

Like I said 80kgs wingers went out in the early 2000s
Name the last 80kg winger Bennet had?

I would build a team based on physicaly attributes. If didnt meet a certain height and build for a position you are not given a chance.

Wingers would have to be atleast 6ft 1. And then they'd face the next test. Would need a certain amount of speed. Then power etc.
It is exactly howmits done in NFL. If one slipped through nets from not meeting this test then fine.
Remis was a big kid that would of met the physical attributes while French wouldnt of.

Same would go for props and 2nd rowers.

Leon Bott.

I was meaning the younger, unproven ones such as Moses, Norman, Ferguson and Gutherson.

So did The Bern let you browse "The Review" whilst sitting next to him in First Class on the way home from "Thurstonbowl"?

Im pretty sure at the time I said it was a shit call, 4 years was pure lunacy for a bloke at his age and wear and tear.

I’m sure I wasn’t Robinson Crusoe on that one though.

Yeah. I got ya mate. Could be the case. I think Scott was a good leader. I hope he isnt lost to the club.

Plenty on here that know juniors where dissapoinred he was let go. By memory it was due to salary cap for 20s and he was the one they made way for. Rather then Dargan or Matterson who they signed for 3 yrs and let go after 1.
I like big physical players so yes I would of kept over French

FFS, why wouId keeping a fullback like French, and a half like Dargan / matterson stop us from keeping a 18 year old centre / winger in Smith who had only played a few 20 games back in 2015?

You have NFI!! Think he left as there was an issue with his manager Tyran who is also his father!’

Bet you will struggle to find one post claiming we should have kept him? Go on find one?

 

[hybrideel]

We have the masters of hindsight and "told you so" out in force today.

Would it be too much to ask for the club to actually have some foresight?

 

[Gronk]

The easiest way to win things is to leave Parra.

FMD you are relentless with the put downs. So depressing every f**king day.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I'm pretty sure that @Stagger was less than impressed when Smith left. Perhaps as much because of the way that the club had needlessly pissed off his dad as anything else

Hineyrulz and Stagger did

:lol: Keep defending clowns like Ando, no point in having an academy when you lose all your best talent. We could of passed on a useless plodder like Morgan and used his money to get someone like Remis Smith or someone else in the top 25.

This great Kearney built academy is now more like Police Academy 6.

Stagger eel said:

Well the point is our current management also need to be held accountable with decisions made that affect our current and future cap...
For eg: Reimis Smith was signed to a 3 year deal and has been released to the dogs 6 months later...

Reimis Smith will cost us big time under the cap for 16 and 17... So 6 months after we palmed of 8 clubs to sign him than played him in the 20's whilst still eligible for SG Ball we decided to flick him to the Bulldogs and the reason given by the CEO as emjaycee as my witness, 'he just didn't aim up in the 20's' that's right a 17 year old didn't aim up in the 20's whilst playing on the wing... Lol

Congratulations to Reimis Smith for making the 18s nsw side....oh hold on....

Disregard...

Surprised the Broncos aren’t looking at you as a replacement for Bennett.

Did you not want to travel from Inala?

FMD rain man how goods your memory?.....

 

[84 Baby]

Bulldogs fans should be proud of their team. Full of reserve graders or kids and look at the heart.

LOL my god you’re full of moronic shit

We pissed off Dave Smith? No wonder we never won anything under his tenure.
Hope we stick with Joel Greenberg then

Edit - mods, what if I actually want to refer to a Green turd then?
