Are you gloating about us potentially losing Semi? This is a thing that's happening now?

Nah mate not quite the conspiracy that you were hoping for.

I was just trying to do a funny man/straight man routine with Korny but he didn't oblige with the straight man bit. Possibly because he didn't see a funny man.

A mid-season signing of Robbo would be like the IDG signing in 2014 - perfect fit for current needs.

And just to get you all salivating more, IF and that's a BIG IF, we lost Foran before 2017 his potential replacement would be welcomed back by long time followers of the club I reckon.

I reckon Sterling may be a bit too old for regular First Grade NRL now, mate...:sarcasm:

It's not about beating the Sharks, it's about the culture within the club. No one is bigger then the club!! f**k him, fining him will hurt the money hungry dude!!
Agreed, his teammates should rightly be pissed off and his coach. He promised he would be back on sun, then it's Weds. Now it's later in the week. It's just not good enough, he is being payed to play RL not holiday in Fiji.

It sends a bad message to the rest of the playing group they can do as they like.

Am hearing that Semi will be arriving on this afternoons plan and will probably cop a breach for running late.
Players want him in the side on Saturday so don't expect him to be dropped as punishment.

Edit: Didn't see the article posted above until after posting this.

He should cop a fine. That is BS considering he already got an extension.

Sad that Robbo left a scapegoat. 2011 was a rubbish season and poor Robbo had SK chopping and changing the 6/7 combo almost weekly.

He had Morts, Casey Maguire and Hayne as partners, plus he was pushed aside for Maitua/Hayne, Maitua/maguire, Maguire/Hayne combos as well.

I believe SK/eels actually made him an offer to stay but choose the Sharks offer

It's exactly and ONLY about beating the Sharks this weekend. All other concerns are secondary.

We are in the business of winning football games, first and foremost. The rest of the other stuff is a lower priority than winning games.

If Semi is here and is fit to play, he plays. Full stop.

He can be disciplined in other ways, without risking losing a game.
Absolute rubbish, BA has worked hard to build a culture here, allowing Semi to do as he pleases erodes that.

Interesting that we are signing robbo. Must be backup to replace Kelly and in case Normey goes. I guess he can play hooker too.

Otherwise, why waste the money this year (better to put it to upgrade someone else's contract under the cap) unless we think that we can make the finals.

Cos we have a duty to our sponsors and 2017 member intake to remain competitive. If we allow team performance to drop off then that will have a knock on effect with 2017+.

Sorry guys.
