Rumours and Stuff

[Gary Gutful]

It is a bit of a wank. How will that help us?

Sorry but 3am sessions are useless if you can’t catch a f**king football.

What about a 3am session on catching and passing?

Arthur would get AFL guy to do it

Most of us forget what happened beyond last week. We are rating the squad based on form rather than on talent.

It’s why we overrated them going into 2018 and why we are now probably underrating them now.

The good news is that I’ll be pleasantly surprised when we finish 11th next year.

I’m very optimistic we will finish in the top 16, got a great feeling!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It's possible that O'Neill is looking to move them on. After all he is the head of football and is looking after these matters.

No wonder we can't work out what's going on when our new head of football is the bloke who aced the psychotropic tests.

 

[Bolgeel]

You need some new material my dude...

At least he’s consistent lol

At least he’s consistent lol

So are haemorrhoids...

 

[El Diablo]

i think Arthur will quit or be sacked before round 13 next year

hopefully they sack him at 3am

 

[El Diablo]

So are haemorrhoids...

only because you keep shoving crowbars up your clacker

 

[forward pass]

God help the opposition if we get drawn to play at 3am. They won’t know what f**king hit them. Woo hoooo.

Or on current form, a whole season of it, they are the worst performing players and thus team. Until they show improvement you are the one that is living in the past.

Current form is what matters, not reputations or old form.

Form changes. Class is the constant.

BA pulled a suprise 3am training session. f**k am I the only one that think he is running low on ideas with 1990s training stunts? Lol

Things like this aren't intended to improve merkins or 'build resiliency' (even though they are often sold that way). They are to test merkins' character, which is important with so many players off contract this year. We will want to have most of our re-signings out of the way by the end of pre-season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Both Kane Evans & Manu Mau being shopped around.

Pau won't be happy about his love child Kane

I'm happy with any moves the club makes. If Evans has a shit attitude it doesn't matter how much talent he has.

I could understand that for a bunch of new recruits who had just joined the army or something but most of these guys have been here for years. They should know their character by now. And at this point it might just seem to even the best of them that they are being punished for Arthur's and the team's failure.

I think BA has been watching too many movies.

The reason that Scott and Edwards weren't replaced in the top 30 , was because their pro rata salaries kept them in the top 30 paid players, and therefore remained in the squad from a NRL standard.

As I have said before , could you imagine another club not being able to conjure a deal for someone like JH that wants to stay, Uncle Nick and Thoroughbreds would make it happen, and the NRL would applaud them as they usually do.

Jarryd would have "re-signed for less money" if he was at the broncos

 

[strider]

Those players in the Out have got to have been on at least $2 million between them. There is no way that Lane, Davey and Sivo are costing us more than $350k in total. That's $1.65 million at least left for Junior, Ferguson and upgrades.

Minimum salary is 100k ... there is no way Lane, Davey, Sivo are not over 350k ... davey sivo are probably minimum .... lane is likely on 250k plus - he is probably top 17

 

[strider]

I actually agree re Mau but its more the point that the person who has signed these players is the same person trying to get rid of them yet he has been given the big tick of approval to keep on keeping on. Im obviously missing something.
Hopefully "Relationships 101" will prove successful.
"Now all you blokes who we are attempting to pi*s off. I want you to become bestest buddies until we find someone who will take you off our hands". Yeah. That'll work.

The whole "trying to offload xxxxx" is a bit of creative licence by journos .... i am sure every single players who has 1 yr to run on their deal has their manager approach their club for an extention .... if the club isnt willing to commit 12 months out, then the manager wants to negotiate a deal elsewhere and potentially go there immediately .... and i reckon often the current club will just say ok if the players isnt great - cool free up some cap room ..... this ends up, "player unwanted, being shopped around"

Its a result of the nrl rules about being able to negotiate 12 months from end of your contract

Current form is what matters, not reputations or old form.

Performances from one year aren't a reliable indicator of what will happen the following year. If they were we might finally have a season prediction thread where people accurately predict where the eels will finish on the ladder.

If we do well one year, most people will overestimate where we will finish the following year. Likewise, if we don't do well one year, most people will understimate where we will finish the following year.

I reckon you are one of those people.

You are a shining light of common sense in a sea of absolute stupidity.
