Rumours and Stuff

[Gary Gutful]

I agree.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The reasoning is linear. Perceived higher potential means they cost more. That’s a line not a circle.

Two years later and the perception of French’s potential has dropped significantly. That leads to reduced value. Only a f**ken idiot would call that argument circular.

Ta DB. I believe he knocked on attempting the 20m restart. Enthusiasm I suppose but unforgivable nonetheless.

It worse than Herchelle Gibbs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I agree.

See?

 

[Bazal]

It worse than Herchelle Gibbs

But not as funny as Ben Cutting

 

[Delboy]

How big is Oregon?

Well, he certainly was the biggest body out there, looks like he weighs in at the suggested 115 kg but still has good work rate and speed. interesting project this year, will definitely play more NRL than ISP.

So he looked heavier than Utoikamanu?

You use it for every single discussion on this forum and end up contradicting yourself.

I appreciate that you like to give our coach and players a fair go but you are the only idiot here when you constantly use this circular method of reasoning and then try and deny it. And you always defend mediocrity.

You’re basically f**ked in the head.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don’t think circular reasoning means what you think it means.

 

[84 Baby]

Circular reasoning = arguing that someone uses circular reasoning and that the reason you argue with them is because they use circular reasoning

Our attack sounded pretty bad but my greatest concern last night was the apparent ease with which Souths ran in trys on the edges. Id hate to think this wasnt the major focus during pre season.

On the TCT site (I know, always overly optimistic) they reckon that all the tries were due too mistakes by French, Evans and one by the Wenty halfback. Without them, maybe things would have been better.
It seems as though Gutherson will well and truly be ahead of French for the fullback spot. Apparently Salmon was ineffective at five-eight? He's trained most of the pre-season at centre and had a sub standard halves partner, so that might excuse him.
Looks like our backline will be:
1. Gutherson
2. Ferguson
3. M. Jennings
4. Salmon/ Taka
5. G. Jennings
6. Moses
7. D Brown
Not awe-inspiring but certainly has potential. We're pinning a lot of hope on Brown (who has never played first grade) and Moses (who has been very erratic so far in his career).
Still, this is definitely a development year, and I really don't think we have any expectations at all. A lot of players off-contract, which is a handy thing.

Nah, but f*cked in the head does.

Try and keep up.

I'm putting my head on the line here:

Dylan Brown will win Rookie Of The Year.

Yes, he is that good.

And yes, I have that much faith in him.

Im not sure having so many off contract together is a good idea.
One school of thought is that they will put in to enhance their worth.
Of cause the distraction of potential suitors and the pressure of an unknown future may have a greater influence of the negative variety. Why we have not sorted out Guthersons future cant be viewed anything other than poor management in my opinion.
I guess we will find out soon enough.

Meanwhile Jamie Soward has our halves ranked as 16th @ NRL.COM.

That’s ok. I rank him the worst half to ever play origin.

We would have to make the 8 for him to win it. Sadly I can’t see us making the 8. Arthur will be sacked by round 13 or a new direction announced.

Just asking. What's our record (last 10 years) on our youngin's who won Rookie Of The Year and became a playa?
