Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Read above. BA has Nrown and Paulo playing that role. You and I may not agree with this but that dosent make it Drowns fault. BAs role for Drown is to run and tackle. Deskilling.

Run n tackle works and this bloke would have been be a great player in 2021.

Where are the stats on TV viewers for all matches? I'm not sure the Storm and Roosters would have many less viewers than us across a season.

It was reported a year or so ago that Parramatta is the number one viewed club of any sport in the country.

As far as I’m concerned him and Ray Price should be our immortals.

I find that difficult to believe given the number of games Brisbane have on free-to-air and their the only team in that town.

In 2018 it was the Bronco's , a mile ahead of the Cowboys.
Not sure who was after that.

I liked how we negotiated with Nrown. He definitely took a pay cut. I reckon he's on about $450k

Well fair enough, you don't need to believe it. But it won't stop it from being true.

Ram, have you ever looked in detail at that website? Its full of rubbish. Even more so than here.

Was hopeful that Dyl would be another Kenny but unfortunately it has not come to pass. Dyl would have to be about the most ineffective 5/8 in the comp and our attack is suffering from it. We desperately need a better 5/8 but Rankin has been left behind, another blunder by BA, so not much will happen there this year.

What happens next year with him? I'd move Gutho to 5/8, bring in another fb or have Perham there (is he any good?), have Dyl and Peninisi as centres and promote 2 wingers from reserves (maybe not Dunster). Btw a new coach or new assistants are badly needed. Our attack and defence has been found badly wanting against the better teams.

At 31 years old next year Dylan has lost his chance to make it in the NRL. Off to England for him.

Shane Flanagan. Two year deal if we sink from here. That’s what I’m hearing.

If HOF thinks we need fresh eyes and recommends it to the Board, then I'm behind it.

Bennett has shown at the Knights and Broncos that you can't win a comp without a comp winning roster. Everyone knows that we don't have a Turbo or a Munster or a Mitchell or a Teddy etc etc, but yeah you're either a hero or zero in this game.

I have completed the difficult process of mourning (for the 35th year in a row) and am ready to be pragmatic PROVIDED that we trade up and not across or down.

Here we go again with Gutho negotiations being dragged out in the media. So what did we learn last time? Seems like FA...so is it him, his manager or the club? Moses extension was handled with a minimum of fuss and thats the way it should be...move Guth and his petulant mgr on. $750k is overs. Time to make a call and tell him $650k is tops. He's not in the same class as teddy, turbo, Mitchell, munster...no club will pay $750k for him.
Dogs - dufty
Knights - ponga
Tigers - laurie
Melb - Papenhuysen
Broncos - Nui..???
Titans - Brimson
Cows - Holmes
Panthers - Edwards
Roosters - teddy
Manly - turbo
Dragons - Sloane
Raiders - Klokstad, Savage or Rapana
Sharks - Kennedy
Souths - Mitchell
Warriors - Walsh
No-one is replacing their fullback for Gutho.
He is snookered

I'd put Gutho 8th or 9th on that list.

Would've been a great player in 2021 for sure, but not a half. He'd be a fullback or centre.

Wow. There will be ramifications to the membership base if that happens I reckon.
I for one will be seriously re-considering whether I continue my 20+ year season ticket holding.
Flanagan allowed his team to take performance enhancing drugs and while he has done his penance, I am split on whether I want someone with those level of morals coaching our team.

 

[TheRam]

Agreed, but do you honestly think that N. Brown is on $450K like pou suggested?

He would be on around that $580K figure for sure, even allowing for the slight reduction that he may have had to cop.

Interestingly, none of the articles that I have found regarding his re-signing mention a figure. I would think somewhere in the middle of 450 and 580 is probs close to the mark.
