Rumours and Stuff

Why? Jennings never really learnt how to pass with any confidence and has managed to forge quite a successful career. Passing the ball rates very low on the skillset required for a winger. I’d say the major responsibilities Sivo excels at.

Is he off contract at the end of this year? If so, now is exactly the time to look at extending him to avoid a bidding war as more clubs take notice.

I was more referring not to his actual passing skills but more so his poor decision making not to pass it to Jennings.
He ended up scoring the try, yes, but he could have easily been taken down in the tackle. He passes to Jennings and he goes under the posts untouched. Easier kick for Moses as well.

It all worked out in the end, but it might not next time.

Also I would actually be happy to see us upgrade Sivo.
I was more just making a point that we really didn’t need any media or manager pressure to do so, especially considering what’s been going on the last couple of months with Gutho.

he also might have f**ked up the pass travelling at full speed or Dufty May have got a hand to it. Have you seen how many forward passes we have been pulled up for this year? Is that the reason we’re holding off signing these merkins, because they can’t pass?

I reckon he took the right option backing himself against a defender half his size. Worst case scenario he gets tackled and Plays the ball to Jennings who then runs in untouched.

No the worst case scenario is he gets tackled and we don’t score that set. Or lose the ball.
If he f**ks up the pass so be it. If he got tackled there and we end up not scoring every single person on here, including you (don’t lie, you would) would be screaming about how he didn’t pass to an open man on his inside.

He scored. It was awesome. I just hope he doesn’t make a habit of taking the hard option every time when there is an obvious easier option right there.

Maybe.
Let’s just see out the year first before deciding on that.

How about he learns how to pass to his inside man before throwing money at him.
Well surely he deserves a fair bit more the.the minimum wage??

200-250k for a couple of more years seems a no brainer?? You’d only think he’s improve In that time.

Like I said above, I would be happy to upgrade Sivo at the end of this year. I’m assuming he is already contracted for next season so give him another couple of years.

That's what happened with Semi, we upgraded him and we got a bargain, then he got so good he bent us over a picnic table in Parramatta Park. Sometimes clubs can't win. Hopefully Sivo is a more ethical operator than that.

I thought he was only on a one year deal, if he’s on two that’s different. But he’s off contract in November anyway so if he keeps going like he has an extension and upgrade for him next year will be the right play.

No matter what happens lol @ Gus and Penriu.

I figured this might be a way to get Jennings some TPA money without anyone getting too suspicious.
Ahhh, so they were Manly fans throwing coins at Jamie Lyon that day at Parra Stadium, just making sure he was getting his TPA's... I knew Parra fans wouldn't be so unkind...

Well, all I know is that the next time I have a picnic in Parramatta Pk I'm taking my own folding table.

You’re not knocking working at maccas are you? Plenty of titties will get twisted!

Absolutely not!

I'm Junior Vice President In Charge - Sauces Division!

In all seriousness, though - I worked for Dominos for 5 years, first as a driver, then as a manager. It was the hardest job I ever had, and I mean that sincerely.

Working in fast food is tough, but at least McDonald's invests in its people.

I bet you could tell some good pizza delivery driver stories.

Now that's a hot chubby Hindy. My pants just got tight.

Who is she, do you know?

Her name was Rebecca but I called her Bec. She knew all the moves, well not all but plenty. Its against club policy but I could ask her to join Bones on Bones at the next meeting if your willing to bend the rules a little. Anything I need to tell Bec?
