Rumours and Stuff

[Sensei Cobra]

Umm but what if he accepted their offer?

I accept there’s flaws in my theory … this is one of them

 

[Incorrect]

Well then that's when the Dolphins renege and terminate the Matto deal... Don't you know? Contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on FFS!!!!

 

[Sensei Cobra]

I reckon it’s credible given his history that he would use the dolphins Offer to shop himself wherever

 

[King-Gutho94]

Papali'i did take a paycut when moving from warriors to parramatta.

That's why I was surprised he would move and go back to a shit underachieving club.

The offer must have been unrejectable.

 

[strider]

So what about this theory …
Dolphins offer to matto only to have us up our offer to tighten up our cap so they can come in and take Mitch

They have forwards they desperately need play makers

no source or basis whatsoever just a random theory

Ive had an inkling for a while we will lose Moses to the flippers

You don’t think Will Smith can drop the ball four times in a game?

No, he would have been better suited to playing 9 than putting a forward in at hooker. Dumb coaching. Cost us the game.

You wouldn't see Smith do something stupid like take a kick from dummy half when the halfback was calling for it then kick it out on the full and let the opposition get momentum back to win the game..

 

[Happy MEel]

He definitely restocks my kit. @Happy MEel isn’t happy with his 4 Pines efforts thought.

Those merkins refused to drive up to Avalon up until a few months ago. It’s the door dash deadshits that I’m ropable at. Didn’t leave it to chance today and picked up a case directly from the pub house in Newport.

I’m a bit lossed. You want Cartwright to be selected in the regular 17 or not ? Or is he down the pecking order in your opinion? Meanwhile what do you expect of him whikst playing reserve grade?

I was responding to a post that listed a best 17 for 2023 from the current contracted players. It had Cartwright as right edge.

The coaching staff have no chance of allowing Cartwright to play his natural game, and Cartwright provides nothing that most park footballers couldn't do when the coaching staff want him to play the way they want him to play. I have zero idea why either party preserves with each other. It's pointless.

So you’d play him and tolerate his errors if you were coach?

I’m not saying he’s a great player but he would have been a much better option than f**king Ray stone at 9.

We all thought the same when Smith screwed us over against the Storm too...

I wouldn't have re-signed him for two years unless I was prepared to allow him to play his natural game. Otherwise, why are we bothering?

I’m sorry mr ceo. I really am.

 

[the phantom menace]

I don't think Cartwright is getting any offers from elsewhere in a hurry. And I don't see why he'd be unhappy... he's probably only top 17 at a new club struggling to sign a roster like the Dolphins.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Surely the board selects the team.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I must have been because I missed the announcement about how the board is now doing player recruitment. What's the point of O'Neill then?

We have a recruitment committee that includes the chairman.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We have a recruitment committee that includes the chairman.

Seriously? You're trying to suggest that the board has a substantial role in player recruitment?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

FFS O'Neill must be the least trusted head of football in history. Which begs the question why we're paying him anything, much less hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Interesting that we’re willing to go that high for Matterson but not for Papali’i.

Leadership and experience count for something, merkin. Papali’i provides neither. That said, Matterson’s concussion history carries some risk.
