Mate, some guy on Facebook just posted his Round 1 side as follows...



Talk about a wooden spoon side.

Sheesh. Say no to drugs m8.

I'm happy to give every player the benefit of the doubt on their 2018 form and give them the opportunity to make amends in 2019. However, I'd only give them a month to show us something before discarding permanently.

don't know about French unless somehow he is being shown how not to get dragged over the sideline and back over the try line

I like the first part of this post but are you telling me say French is shit for the first 4 weeks and lights it up for the rest of the season to bad he is discarded?

Best pre-season, ever!

Agree except for Mennings and Takarangi. Mennings was diabolical for both Parra and Tonga. Taka should be one of those back ups in the top 30 that Poo says you hope you never have to use. Another who needs to get his act together with Rips Boys.

That dude's use of colons to separate the numbers from names is perplexing

French and his mates have had enough chances. They've got 4 weeks and then they can light it up at Wenty and elsewhere in 2020.

Who are the two players in that 28 man squad who is getting picked in the centres ahead of Jennings?

So let’s say 8 players don’t play well enough in the first 4 weeks so you send them all to wenty for the rest of the year? So that is 25 players used already assuming i injuries. Those 8 can never be used again do you effectively have a 22 man squad until you can use development players after June. Now you cop some injuries and you are forced to pick let’s say this time it’s Moses. Moses absolutely kills it gets us into the finals and we make a prelim. However because his first month was shit that’s it for him coach Chipmunk won’t have him? If you are trying to be funny you need lessons from @hindy111. If you are serious than I have been giving you to much credit for being a rational intelligent person. I make no secret of the fact I think you carry on like a pretentious prick with your smart ass questions and a sulker who spits the dummy and then claims it never happens but I never thought you were stupid

No, I'm actually happy to right the entire 2019 season off now and I'm not fussed whether they play 4 weeks or the entire year in reality, as long as they're moved on for 2020...if they show some signs in the first 4 weeks then they can be considered for 2020 re-signings, but I wouldn't re-sign them until the end of 2019. The 4 weeks is about whether we consider them part of 2020 or just look elsewhere. Personally I'd just make the decision now, but we can give them the benefit of the doubt.

It's time for a clean out....from the front office, coaching staff and the majority of the overpaid under performing players. There group of players will never win us a comp, I'm not sure why we even bothering with some of them.

Double Post, there is something wrong with the IT system of this site at the moment....

Well there isn't a better centre in the current squad as good as Jennings, but that doesn't mean I'd consider offering him 1 cent to play for the club beyond 2019.

I’d say Gutho is now a better centre than Jennings.

 

[emjaycee]

f**k me, was this dude serious?

Seems like he may have been - his follow up post on Facebook:

Josh Hoffman has played at no 6 for Gold Coast and New Zealand; is a bit slower now ; but still has the defensive nous ; and will be a great link man ; halfback is no dissimilar to no 6 or no 1 or anywhere else ;Gutherson has played; is able in Defence; and a brilliant kicking game ; Corey Norman And Mitch Moses can share the no 9 as they both provide spark ⚡️; have good kicking games and running at tiring forwards will tear defenders apart and are good at passing; and Greg Leleuasio is 6 foot and 100 kg ; so isn’t small ; and Maika Sivo; is a comparable size and both will be outside either Jennings/Mau/, or Takairangi/Moeroa; 2 international centres and 2 international forwards ( well Moeroa would be a walk up start for Cook Islands if he made himself available) not as mad as one may think

 

[Chipmunk]

Probably true, but every team needs two Centres and who's going to play Fullback if Gutherson is playing Centre anyway?

 

[ImTheMan]

You are really going to be out of words to censor soon, but I digress. Tonight is a great night in the city of Tokyo, so while you sit at home adding more words to the censor with a strange fixation on feces like some juvenile delinquent, I'm going to enjoy some real culture. Gronk do you wish to tell me what Freudian stage you failed to pass? I think it's anal stage, correct me if I'm wrong.

Ram lets fling Gary. Rissole him.
I think we bring this guy into bones on bones.
Gary was useless anyways.... Worse then a 1 schooner screamer.

Thats fine. Your club is plop.

I’ve started my own - Bones on Bones on Bones.

It’s like BOB, but with 33% more Alpha Male.
