Rumours and Stuff

Sure. But he hasn't been consistently good like he was at the Tigers. He has been up and down and stop start for us.

Head knocks have been a factor. Also, if you listen to some on here he's being utilised as a crash test dummy rather than being allowed to play to his potential in other areas.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yet he just nicked someone from Bea Arthur. Doesn’t say much for him either then.

Arthur's 'nicked' players from Cleary. It all means nothing if we don't know the values involved. And we don't.

As forgotten as your last GF in 1986?

Stop living in the past mate. 2022 is what it's all about. You must be excited about the Tigers' prospects.

Hi Eels Fans.

Thanks for the player guys. Promise to have him all finished up every season a week earlier than he's used to at the Eels. I guess the only difference will be he is part of a club that's won something during his parents lifetime.

Thanks again.

Youve been waiting in your bedroom with this line for a long time, haven't you? How does it feel now you get to come out and actually say it? Was it good? Are you hard??

Keeping Papali'i on unders is what's best for Parra.

Not if the Tigers chip in for Luciano.

Especially with the aptly nicknamed coach.

But then what's in it for them?

They get rid of a player that doesn't want to be there. He is on about $450k in 2022. Let's say they chip in $150K. We chip in for $300K and see how he goes and make an assessment mid 2022 for the future. Meanwhile we give them Papa who is on $150K. Win/win for both. We were willing to give Papa $425K as per some reports. We end up getting a player with equal ability for $300k which is less than what we were going to give Papa. The Tigers get Papa for $150K plus $150k (chip in for LB) which equates to $300K and they get their man a year early.

Manly released AFB with a year to run on his contract.

Not because they struggled to keep him. It was because of non football related issues.

Na. Pass. Blore is the kid to grab. MON should be on the phone to him tonight telling him Ice was told by Madge that hes taking his spot.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Undoubtedly Ice and Marata were our best edges season past. In fact they were elite. If they stay they are back to being shuffled between edge and middle. It will be interesting to see if that continues in 2022.
Im guessing Matto will hunt a big pay day so our edges in 2023 will be Lane and Catrwright at this stage. No doubt another will raise their hand and Lane will be back in the middle. Its fascinating actually. Cant wait. Fingers crossed Ice and Marata "do a Burton".

 

[The Rosco]

He doesn’t like playing semis.

. . . hates winning wooden spoons, too.

Imagine coming 8th and dare to dream? How good would that be?

pass. the bloke is the worst edge forward in the nrl at defence

 

[hindy111]

I think good on the Tigers. They need to take risks.
And the way we snatched Moses and Matterson was dirty. Its a victory to them imo and a deserved one.

No time to dream, avenger. Having plenty of fun reading how you guys don't care about losing IP, how we've overpaid, and how he is destined to be a second year plodder . . . Mind you, every forum is filled with bitter jealousies in these situations.
Like I said, fun to read.
Also, there's a lot to be said for accepting the reality of your footy team. You guys had more joy than us watching parra winning lately, but that was once again cruelled by the shattering repeat of semi finals failure. I watched some mates nearly crying after you lost. I found that quite rude, it's hard to repeatedly say " I told you so . . . what did you expect?" to a grown man sobbing like a lil baby.

Well said, Hindy.

 

[hindy111]

I think best we go for some young hot prospect for 2023. By 2025 he maybe a star and when we have another real crack.

Cheers mate.

I think good. You lost Teddy,Woods,Moses. Your clubs has had plenty of good kids leave, had the coach walk out. It's copped a battering.
Needed to take some risks and I hope Papa has a great career with you and play finals.

You guys are the perennial under achievers and the laughing stock of the NRL and have been for a decade, yet you want to try and trigger me with Papa? Is that all you have? You took a backrower from us? Mate we bash you guys around almost everytime and you have been our bitches and twisted sister for as long as I can remember yet all you have is Papa, Stefano (who still hasn't tasted semi final football) and one comp from a merged entity with no soul, from what 16 years ago?

LOL.
