Rumours and Stuff

[Happy MEel]

So, Ken Sio is set to leave Newcastle...

Would he be worth a punt?

Only 27, a good all-round winger, and a goal-kicker.

I considered the same thing due to the fact he’s a goal kicker. I then looked up his kicking % and it was only 67.6%. On that basis I’d probably pass.

 

[Incorrect]

Could see the Dragons making a play for him now that Nene Mcdonald is off to the Cows...

Right now? Sitting in a Tuscan Villa. Drinking super Tuscan. Was live streaming the cricket for a bit, much to the confusion of several Americans.

Also I was never suspended. Well, not this time. I just figured sometimes it's best to let the LUnatics have their fun for a bit.

And that's a typo on lunatics but I'm totally leaving it there. Now I'm off to the cricket forum to mouth off drunkenly over a fantastic test

So good Baz, hopefully Oozie shut up a few of the critics. With Smith out he is easily the best batsman in the side and should of been made vice captain.

Not from what I saw last season, I’d rather we give Dunster or Parry a run. And his goal kicking is only passable.

Agree, he was ok at the knights but really isn’t the player that’s going to prove to be a difference.

There's a difference between not being able to handle it and choosing not to deal with it

Bazal is awakening spiritually. Good on him. We miss ypu Bazal

I agree some of the lunatics on here get a bit much.
Hows your trip? Had any fine food?

“and that prop Addin Fonua-Blake has also had enough of the drama and wants out of the club.”

I saw that as well but when you think about it, with Siva, and the other youngsters coming through plus French/Hayne/Gennings/Hoff or who ever the f**k ends up on the other wing, I think BA already has mapped out whom he thinks our future wingers will be

I cant see him fitting in our current roster, he's OK but not a star

Agree Hoffman is better and cant make the side.

well you cant blame anyone for wanting out of Manly

well you cant blame anyone for wanting out of Manly

He would complete our pack.

Id still like to move these guys on in this order

Hoffman
Taka
Evans
Bevan

Reasons are I dont see any being top 17. As much as people want Moses,MJ and Norman gone they are top 17 players and all 3 have potential to be great again. MJ has a habbit of 1 good followed bt a bad season. He is aging but not that old yet.

The 4 mentioned could be replace with 3 juniors on around 120k and that would perhaps leave about 600k to sign a high quality player for the 4th spot.

They also punted Ross Dog. I thought he was their fav son ?

Fan favourite Nathan Ross being shopped around by the Knights despite having two years to run on his contract

Now that would be a very smart signing. Young, good size, averaged well over 100m a game, can offload and break tackles, and has a 91% tackle efficiency according to NRL stats.

Cherry is in the press saying that if they sign Neil Henry, he'll walk.

Good times.

If we need to change the culture at the club we wouldn't be signing AFB.

He made some great points and was fun when it came to having a dig. I just reckon that living in Canberra all that time had taken its toll. Chippy, too. Hell of a place.

I'd always live in Canberra well before I'd live in Parramatta or surrounds. You'd have to pay me a lot of money to live in most of Shitney

 

[Chipmunk]

Not where I live it's not. 3ks in to town, plenty of good restaurants and bars within a 5 minute walk. Only one bogan in the street. You'd have to pay me an extra 150k to even think about living in the parts of Sydney that I'd want to live in. But I'm quite happy for you miserable merkins to not like it. Keeps you off our streets

I hear ya Baz...

He's leaving Newcastle because the offer was too low. He's worth minimum wage only and no better than Gennings. If he's not going to take minimum wage in Newcastle he's probably not going to take minimum wage at Parra.
