Rumours and Stuff

[Parra Cheeses]

Nup. 805 players and not one double-barrelled surname.

But, apparently an Ernie Wanka played 1 game off the bench for us in 1977. Probably Paul Kent's brother.

Paul and Leo's brother.

Watmough was a merkin of a signing. He was over the hill and injury prone AMD we have him 4yrs on premium dollars.
2yrs would of been an ok gamble.

Scott also was a poor signing due to 3yrs for an old man. 2yrs would of been ok.

Signing guys over 31 should be 2yrs MAX

Scott was a great signing because he eventually put watmough into retirement. Apart from that he was a shit signing.

U thinking Kent was originally a wanka and he changed it by deed poll

So he went from a wanker to almost become a c*^t.

I like your way of thinking Barry.

I'm getting keener on signing DW-Z. As far as I can recall, we've never had a player with a double-barrelled surname in our first grade team. @parra pete might know if we had one back in the day.

He also played about 5 seconds of first grade.

It turns out that Ernie Wanka is a very much respected citizen of the Northern Territory now.

 

[T.S Quint]

How was that not a penalty?

 

[T.S Quint]

Played it too fast? You’re f**king kidding me!

 

[T.S Quint]

Wrong thread. Oops.

Ernie is now the NT Gov's Director of Roads. I wonder if he had anything to do with our sponsorship with NT. He might have put a word in. Who knows?

 

[Glenneel]

You daily goal is to find ways to denigrate the club, amirite ?

I really don't need to, three shit performances did that. And if any fan is not angry with the way we've played recently they should hang their head in shame to accept that rubbish.

But last nite was a huge improvement and a pleasant surprise, totally unexpected. After praising Panthers for their speed in A & D we did the same and what a difference it makes. Now if we play like that for the rest of the year we'll win more than we lose and actually look like a decent team. Go Parra!

Let me put this differently. At the time Roberts signed for Souths were approximately 157 days remaining in the 2018-2019 contractual year. This represents about 43% of a whole year. So if Roberts is paid 200k for that period, it is the equivalent of $465k annually. If he gets paid 250k by Souths, that is the equivalent of 580k annually.

Now if GI was on $1m, and he retired on 15 April, about 45% of the contractual year had elapsed, meaning $450k would be charged against the cap. This leaves $550k available. So even if Souths paid GI $300k for gardening services, there is still $250k left over to cover a salary of 250k for Roberts (for 157 days work).

I don't get what your problem with the arrangement is.

I agree IF all those figures are correct, but...

What do you think they are?

 

[T.S Quint]

What do you think they are?

He probably thinks they are incorrect.

@Incorrect , are they you?
