Rumours and Stuff

Exhausting reading, now I'm excited. I'm off to buy some eggs and a kilo of prawns.

You haven’t read anything about TPAs in the past ten years? Really?

We couldn’t get legit ones so we got illegitimate ones instead. Then we got busted and now we don’t have any. But you’re right, maybe none of the other 15 clubs have them either.

I get the impression that there are a few merkins around these parts that just won't accept a common sense rebuttal.

I switch off when I hear the n word.

You do realise it is completely different simpletons every couple of years??? The only constant is the simpletons voting in the PLC elections.

Yep it's all the fans fault, you can only vote for who put their hands up to run.

Can they guarantee that we don’t need to use 32 to 33 players in the squad in one single season? If they can then I’d say they can do better ...

Well you can't help bad luck........

Agreed. How long has the new board of suits had the keys again ?

If they did there would only be three posts a day in this thread. Not very exciting.

Here is a suggestion.

Come round 6 if we are playing just as bad and copping floggings lets argue.
Untill then lets keep possitive vibes about 2019. I want to feel excited about 2019 not deflated before a ball is even kicked.

Long enough to help deliver us a spoon.

It’s a complicated issue that has a range of factors to it. I don’t profess to have all the answers like you do. Given that what BA says in press conferences represents about 2% how can you be so sure about everything?

Surely Melbourne and the Storm don’t get favourable referring calls only because of what their coach says in the media. The fact that they are both strong and well managed clubs would play a significant role don’t you think? They don’t cop shit from the NRL on any issue.

Sorry mate. Nut huggers have the answers

I am hearing we are looking at a former NSW prop / lock who is about 28 and out of form. At his best he would be a great signing. And a good one at the right price on present form.

Shut up for an hour ffs the squad isnt even finalised you whiney bitch.

You just raise issues and then when you get too many questions or challenges you fold quicker than Superman on laundry day.

OK, lets stick to the facts, then.
Fact #1. BA is the 2019 head coach.
Fact #2.We will have a new stadium due at approximately round #6.
Fact #3. Our top 30 for next year is still undecided.
Fact #4. We have a new HoF starting on 1s't November.
Fact #5. Nobody really knows who is getting paid what.

I'm sure there are plenty more facts but anything beyond that fact is pure conjecture.

Too often they have been one and the same.

I bet you just end up with curried sausages.

It was quite the letdown. I ended up with a prawn omelette.

Sorry mate I don’t like challenges.

So what makes you think some teams get lucky calls? Do you honestly think If BA went about it the right way, it may help or hinder us?

I think it's mainly to do with discipline. When a team (lets say Parra) starts giving away cheap penalties it's usually because they are finding it difficult to stay in the contest. Their discipline gets tested, the 50/50 calls start to become 60/40 against them, they start to push the pass, then the poor kicking options compound the slide, etc. This then turns to frustration, finally conceding the game even if they're still in the hunt. A well disciplined team ( Roosters, Storm and the likes) rarely find themselves in this position. If they do it's usually because of fundamental errors, not 50/50 calls or ill- discipline.
