Rumours and Stuff

I’d probably pick ET over Jason

So would Jason’s wife.

He won’t be worth any more. Why would a player be worth more money when he’s unavailable for some games?

There are players worth less than Gutherson who get picked for a Origin, and players worth more who don’t. Whether they get picked is partially based on their ability, which determines value. But getting picked doesn’t mean their ability increased. It may just mean an incumbent was unavailable. Why should a player’s value increase just because a player at another club was injured or suspended at Origin time?

Incumbents are available. Gutho is playing better than one of them (Roberts)

My concern over Gutho is if they do not sign him, who replaces him next year? We may go for a Teddy calibre player for 1mil but our likelihood of getting that strike player isnt great. We are not going to get another player for 650/700 that brings as much professionalism, reliability and obviously not a new captain.

Just get the f**king deal done and move on.

 

[Gazzamatta]

If we dont buy a player by June 30 then we will still have money remaining to be spent before seasons end (700k?). Maybe thats when the deal will be done.

Maybe they might buy Izzy Folau. That would be quite a back 3.

Actually that’s not a bad point

Or if he doesn't sign, we will see that a reasonable request of 4 years instead of 3, was ignored and he was lost to another club and now we have no high quality fullback and it will take at least 2 or 3 years to sort out if we are lucky.

I know you love mediocrity Pou, but Bevan French will not be our fullback if we ever win a GF again.

If we’re giving long contracts to injury-prone players we won’t be winning grand finals anyway.

Seeing as though we have recruited McIlwrick and Rhys Davies has been brought into the top 30, do we have any remaining spots?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Waqa Blake has done SFA this year.

But he hasn’t lost ability.

We don’t need a fullback worth $700k. Souths, Melbourne and Canberra are doing fine without one.

Kaysa retired yet? Players could retire/be cut. Not saying it’s wright or rong but it’s certainly a point

“We don’t need a replacement for Semi”
- Pou circa 2018

Davies wouldn’t be top 30. The club made no official announcement. If he’s now training full time he’d be on a development contract.

I said former Dally M winger Hayne would be a good replacement for Radradra.

We won 40% with Hayne on the wing, compared to 21% otherwise.

Possibly. I was just going off some posts on here.

Although not confirmed my mail is that Davies has possibly been signed into the top 30. Although listed as a half, he can cover a number of positions and is a goal kicker so good to have some additional coverage for Moses and Drown/Salmon.

“We don’t need Hayne” - Pou (unverified) circa 2017

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Offer him $750K for one year, 700 for 2, 650 for 3 and 600 for 4. Hopefully he takes the one-year option and we can have this excitement every year.

But he hasn’t lost ability.

We were talking about form players and Penrith111 through Blake's name in the hat.

He certainly didn’t think it threw
