Rumours and Stuff

[Gazzamatta]

Same team, same coach, same assistants, same major sponsor, same tortured fans, same board who are happy to do the bare minimum as long as they as they keep their jobs but I can feel a different result next year just because!!

One things for sure it will be very exciting!!

*Stability.

Even when it's the same team it's never the same team. 2021 Mahoney and Papali'i were very different players to their 2020 versions. So was Blake Ferguson.

Dylan Brown went up a level the last 4 weeks and you're blind if didn't notice that.

Stone also showed his defense is top quality. He would be one of the best defenders in the NRL. Forget him at hooker and his passing. If he can work on his run game a little he is a genuine NRL player.

Kafusi dissapointed me. He has great charges but his ruck defense is a bit sloppy. His form early in the season was strong but as the season went on he dropped off. However come next season I think he will be hard to keep out of the 17.

Penisini and Dunster are only getting started and will be the biggest improvers.

Then the unknown. Hollis,Russel,Greig. And you have to imagine there is a few others who will pop up. There has been very little jnr league over the last 2yrs. That means there could be a few suprises spring up.

We are one of few finals sides who go into 2022 in a better position and a stable squad.

Storm,Panthers,Souths all get weaker somewhat. Of course they may replace the guys they lost and unearth players also.

Roosters are hard to gauge but I feel will be strong.

Manly have key players getting on in age.

Who improves? Sharks have some smart signings. So have the Dogs. Most of the others are relying on self improvement.

Sure. As Gould says players spending time together means they gel and no their roles.
It also means you build a platform. So this pre-season guys are able to learn few things extra. They don't have to work on the basic combination and their role on certain situations.
Look at Foran once he went back to Manly. He was almost back to his best.

$10k does not make sense I agree.

My dad has a gold casio.

I think Brisbane will improve. Just Reynolds alone will see them improve

Nobody notices, Pou.

Is that why you tell em every 5 minutes

As long as he still cares enough to play well ... i think its always risky getting dudes at the backend of their one club career. Some arent as committed

I thought I was middle class once upon a time. But I think now I am lower class. Yes its true. Hindy111 is a pleb.

Being a bleb in Sydney is like being a rock star life in Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta.

Most of the shit teams will improve just like most of the top teams will decline. It's called reversion to mean.

I think there's a good argument we at least won't get worse. We could even improve. Obviously we weren't a top team this year but we were close.

f##k me with a feather storm trio get one game and a few grand fine where is asada when they are needed https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...s/news-story/d90b96485f26ef943aa30e288958774f

Not entirely true. Rich people in poor countries don't even have to follow the law.

Capewell will be a great signing.

He was very underrated in that penrith pack

what about last chancer Joey Leilua https://www.zerotackle.com/square-c...er&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Zero+Tackle

Considering he's taking up boxing he'll be in great shape. I've always thought he was lazy and to hear that he is training hard, wouldn't be bad on a 1 year deal on minimum wage. Similar to Carty he's playing for his future in the NRL. Nothing greater to get a player back in form.

Also, put any good player in the tiger's team and they begin to look average. The whole team's shocking

Dragons fans are not happy about Aaron Woods.

better there than at the EELS

Braiden Burns signed for the Dogs. They seem to have a truckload of centres and even backs in general. I'd lean towards someone being let go.
