Rumours and Stuff

if there will be one thing that brings arthur down it will be continually picking his reserve grade son to run around in the big game

Agreed that flop should be no where near 1st grade

History shows that players 'on the wrong side of 30' are almost essential to premiership success. I checked every year back to 2010 and the only premiers that didn't have a single 30 year old were last year's Panthers, meaning they are not the blueprint, they are the outlier. In fact the only other premiership team since 2010 without multiple players 'on the wrong side of 30' were the 2014 Bunnies, who only had one (36 year old Tuqiri).

I know you love big fat forwards and fast backs but rugby league is also a game where decisions need to be made under pressure. The players who are the best at this are the ones who've had the most practice.

Yeah agreed we need old heads for sure, but not chronically injured one. Dumb Dumb.

I think he extended his stay at Belmore over the off season, but he might have a few in front of him in the next few years, so I'd be sounding out Aaron Shoupp's manager if he is running around in reserve grade for much longer. We know Gus will cut when he needs to make space despite what he says on Twitter...

I dont mind bird as long as he's under 500

How the f**k did Campbell get away with that sliding knees. Russel is in hospital cause of it and not a word said. I've heard murmurs that it could be a punctured lung. Both the browns have done similar things and have been suspended an absolutely shocking decision by the bunker.

Campbell Jr is a protected species... media/commentators' pet too.

Jack Bird and Matterson are about the same age. The club is obviously choosing one over the other. Who would you pick? I’d say both are worth about $500k.

Bird worth 500k???? On what planet???

Matto easily.

How long would a punctured lung keep him out?

I don't feel like it was as bad as Dylan's tackle.

I'm undecided to be honest.

One has bung knees and Arthritis, it’s not even close.

And the other needs more money for the regular deductions to the Hillsong Church.

I thought he got injured falling on the ball.

There is a rumour that N.Brown and Hayne got into a punch up. Not with each other. Anyone else hear this?

It was a verbal altercation with a council worker, who made a derogatory comment about Hayne.

Stone....derrr!

He'd already be on what the Dolphins will be paying Stone next year.

Which one's that - is Matterson a happy clappy pentecostal, or Bird?

Matterson you will notice every time he scores he praises the lord.

I thought he got injured falling on the ball.

One knee directly to the ribs, the other on top of the rump/thigh. No way that was a legit tackle, in goal or the field of play - maybe not intentional, but definitely reckless. Hopefully video review panel take a closer look - sadly/probably with info regarding the impact of the injury it caused.

I used to as well... oh, you mean during football (not at the nightclubs!).
