Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Obviously only a handful of De Gois's starts are 80 minute efforts (which I don't think he is) whereas Lichaa's are all over 80 mins.

Minutes played stats are available and everyone with a computer also has a calculator. It's easy to work out any stat per minute.

De Gois has made fewer errors per minute than every other NRL hooker bar Smith, Hodgson and Peats. He has made more LBAs per minute than McCullough, and more tackles per minute than all but 12 other players in the NRL (he is fifth amongst hookers).

But I agree stats aren't everything.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I understand the decisions made, just don't agree with them,

Not surprised that you do though, you have agreed with everything that has happened at the club since you first started started posting on here.

No I've just refused to whinge about it. Understanding why the decision might have been made certainly helps.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

u a degois fan too pau? more quality talent IDing by you bahahhaha, you lets have degois as the main dummy half and sign Roberts cause he is a consistent talent, we should go good next year bahahahahahahahahaha

I'll trust the pros mate. Their jobs are riding on their decisions, not yours or mine.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

yeah lets pick up a doggies reject. Reynolds went off at licha for his crap passing game so yeah lets get him to the eels. another great call

lol a young player copped a spray from a senior team mate and you think he's worthless. Mate you've got less likes than Lichaa, you're not really entitled to an opinion.

Has Moses taken his option yet with the Tiges.

I've watched a few Tiges games now and he has improved heaps. In particular his defence

I am beginning to think these options being thrown up are never going to happen. I think Marshall, the bloke from Titans, Sam Williams etc.
I think (hunch only) that BA is working for a big name signing. Time will tell, but I'm confident we'll stick with Pritchard/Deagois at 9 but we have some quality half due to sign...

Melb are after Foz. If they get him, they wont be able to afford Smith, Cronk and Slater + Foz right?

Maybe they'll let Cronk come to us.

Why didnt we have some bargaining clause with Foz? Especially when we are paying him out for this season.

Where did you hear this about Foran to Melbourne?

 

[Bazal]

And no one's mentioned any ESL options apart from Segeyaro. Hodgson turned out well and he wouldn't have cost the earth.

Not much doing in terms of ESL hookers, really. Houghton and Roby are very good players, but would cost the earth....otherwise there's not a load of standouts.

Was on one of the league sites this morning. Maybe rugby league week?

Yeah, RLW ran with the story this week.

After the NRL added his TPAs to the cap I'd say we had no bargaining power. We wanted him gone and he knew it.

Interesting buy for the Storm. You'd have to think he would initially be on a pretty low amount that would be well under his value if he went to the Storm.

Any re-signing announcements today?

No but there is a signing...

Vave aka Dave has just been confirmed.

 

[eel01s]

Good news IMO. Great replacement for Junior.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Good stuff. Always looked like a good signing but it was only a few days ago when my opinion of him really improved. Welcome, Dave.

 

[Captain BF]

2 seasons for Vave.

 

[Stagger eel]

I reckon Brown will be announce on Tuesday or maybe even Fogerty

What about tomorrow? Surely we just do a signing every day now...
