Rumours and Stuff

[Avenger]

I gave it a shot. So any Si gle cousins , Relatives, friends? No older then 35. And preferable under 100kgs

My wife has one. However I picture you as overweight and receeding. You’ll be rejected and then I’ll have to pick up the pieces.

 

[hindy111]

What gender do you prefer or are you gender neutral/agnostic?

I've shared a bed with 4 different men.Including single beds. But it was just friends. Nothing sexual. I was broke and what else could we do? So we shared.

So, you've shared a single bed with another male and did what, talk up the Panthers chances?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There is plenty wrong with the roster, just because it should be at worst competitive doesn't mean that should be acceptable. We should have a roster that is at minimum a contender.

We should be in the mix for the Top 8, but so should 15 others. We're definitely in the mix for the spoon also, with about 10 others.

These teams have all finished top four in the past five years:

Roosters
Storm
Bunnies
Sharks
Broncos
Eels
Raiders
Cowboys
Seagulls
Panthers

And these have all finished bottom four over the same period:

Cowboys
Titans
Seagulls
Eels
Warriors
Tigers
Knights
Roosters
Raiders
Sharks

Exactly ten teams in each category. Interestingly only four teams have made the top four without finishing in the bottom four (in the past five years) while only four have done the opposite.

Anyway we're doing better than some clubs but not doing well. To become a club that only challenges for the top four but not for the bottom four requires structural changes that we won't get just by sacking coaches.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You’re certain are you ? LOL

You are entering the heavyweight championships of dribbling here.

I am certain. Bernie Gurr, Ricky Stuart, even Kane Evans all achieved highly at the Roosters. Less so at Parra. Why would Trent Robinson be any different?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

A HOF is essential and the fact that everyone (including BA) didn’t think it was a priority is a big concern.

Like Max said in the recent interview, we finished top four without one. Why change what's not broken?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Like Max said in the recent interview, we finished top four without one. Why change what's not broken?

Because things change every season. If you aren’t going forward then you are going backward.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well we were going forward, for three straight seasons. It didn't stop us from going backwards.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Because things change every season. If you aren’t going forward then you are going backward.

Given our starting position this year, that may not be true.

 

[hindy111]

Because things change every season. If you aren’t going forward then you are going backward.

I feel like I am stationery at the moment.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I feel like I am stationery at the moment.

Like....a Post-it note?

 

[hindy111]

Like....a Post-it note?

More like a stapler, I keep things together,

 

[Stagger eel]

More like a stapler, I keep things together,

What about hole punch?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Well we were going forward, for three straight seasons. It didn't stop us from going backwards.

OK. It’s a stupid saying.

How about ‘You can’t rest on your laurels’?

 

[Gronk]

OK. It’s a stupid saying.

Nah

In fairness to the Sharks, they did have to play a season without their coach. It's probably unlikely they would've made the bottom 4 if they had their coach.

The Roosters have been Minor Premiers 4 of the last 6 years and a Top 4 finish one other. I wouldn't be too fussed if we won 2 comps and 4 Minor Premierships in 6 years and then suddenly had an "off" season where we ran second last, instead of 3 wooden spoons in 7 years.

This Tino Fa’asuamaleaui isn't the one that run riot for the junior kangaroos was he? If so sign him up pronto if possible. Big unit who runs very hard scattering players everywhere. Kikau 2.0
