Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

exactly! this policy will actually CREATE dead rubbers

where is the incentive for teams 9 and 10 to bust their arses in the last few rounds trying to win games? they know they will be playing finals anyway

Because teams 11+ will be breathing down their necks.

Apologies if already posted. Board knocked back Isaac Luke after BA wanted him signed, according to the Mole: https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/nrl-ne...ke-board/474f90f6-1196-4c08-9b9c-1cfa9a16b38e


Parramatta’s board has all but thrown embattled coach Brad Arthur under the bus a couple of weeks before the season kick-off.

With the Eels having the youngest spine in the NRL, Arthur and his coaching staff were desperate for some experience around the rucks for the new season and wanted to bring Warriors hooker Issac Luke on board.

The Kiwi club was prepared to release Luke and it was all set to happen - but the Eels board said an emphatic no.

One of the game’s most dangerous dummy-halves on his day, Luke would have been great for the Eels.

But now it’s not to be and Arthur’s future lies in the hands of rookie hooker Reed Mahoney and playmaker Dylan Brown.

I’m sure there’s a kernel of truth to this but the media twists everything to ramp up the drama.

Most likely Arthur said something along the lines of ‘Issac Luke would be good for a year or two’ and they came back with ‘He wants too much and too many years so we said no’.

I reckon it’s more likely that his manager offered him to us, we said sure,warriors turned around offered him bit more than his current contract and we responded that we didn’t want him so much to get in bidding war

Yeh, it's in the Eels in the media thread, along with the club's denial that it is true:

Looks like Laurie Daley still holds a grudge with Gus for stealing his chair during SOO. Get on it Gronky. The Duke wont be happy.

Remember Gus saying the culture in the Laurie Daley SOO side was so bad he would prefer no Riff players were selected. Isn't Karma a bitch.
