Rumours and Stuff

He’s homesick for Baulko

He's from a laidback environment in NZ and feels that the rat race in inner west uncomfortable.

He can also say, he signed under duress as Marata got a biggie and he felt that he should too. But now realize he can be his own man and not be like Marata

Cant even tell what your position or thought actually is due to the argumentative stance you actually assume with every post!

Do you even have an opinion on whether we should retain him or not? Can you definitively say what you would prefer? Or do you just enjoy deriding both sides of the question?

I enjoy deriding anyone who thinks there’s a simple or obvious answer. I enjoy having Papali’i in the team but he’s not good enough that we should entertain paying overs. Moses probably is though, in the sense that he might be impossible to replace. But then that really depends on Dylan Brown and how much we have to pay to keep him. One thing for sure, if we lose Moses our kicking game will be significantly worse. But our defence will probably improve. It’s never simple.

Who wouldn't want to drink at the cesspit called the Bull"n"bush.

I drink there.

 

[emjaycee]

Well that's that then. Are you able to divulge anything else with the same certainty?

Ummm, maybe, kinda, I dunno.

I actually attempted to edit that post out - wasn't very nice.

But big of you to respond.

Do you want them to come out and say we are very happy clubs are raiding our juniors who are going to have their first grade careers blocked cause we have the best halfback in the comp infront of him?
Of course they are going to call foul play.

Surely no one could be

 

[hindy111]

Hopgood, Moimoise, Matele and possibly Moretti could push for rep selections.

I think all have played junior reps at SOO level (except Moretti). We also have a young buck who's name escapes me, who is a current u19 SOO rep.

I wonder how many people picked Safiti, Finucane, Paulo, etc. as Origin stars when they hadnt debuted in FG. Would be good to know.

Whats happened to Morretti? Not seen his name much of late. Injured?

 

[hindy111]

If they want a player swap, give them Nathan Brown and Makatoa.

Throw in JA.

Ffs. Did they actually watch the 2s the last few weeks?

Sounds like he’s the one with the problem, not us. I doubt we’ll up our offer. If he wants out of Wests he’ll probably need to take less money.

Objection your honour, the defense is posturing in speculation!

Agreed....Mr Pou you will refrain from outlandish speculative statements without proof in the public court of prosecution.

The jury is instructed to ignore the amateur defense attorney's leading and nonsensical statement and I instruct it to be struck from the record.

If you continue leading the public, I will find you in contempt and fine you 3 future plodders and one perfect backup player from your list of all time greats and to be replaced by Hindy111's all star lineup of genuine cheapies but goodies.

N.Brown would be on around 500k. What would he demand?
If we wanted to get as much money as we could back then the best way would be him playing 40mins in the NRL. A club may offer 300k-350k and see him as valuable. If he landed a 3yr deal he may be happy to take a 50-100k pay cut and we only chip in 100k.

Problem now is he is in NSW CUP. Clubs now would be thinking what's wrong with him and what is he worth. They know we don't want him and will low ball. Probably offer 250k Max.

Oh because you will replace him with at demon defender that tackles like a backrower?

Your honour?!!!

Mormon mission.

The Papalii thing was always going to blow up eventually once Maguire was sacked. I was told at the time the sweetner for the deal with playing under the NZ coach as Ice is clearly going to be a representative level player for long into the future. Maguire is gone now, so what exactly is the upside to going to the tigers? If we can offer the same money - then nothing.

From a contract standpoint - i dont think he should be allowed to renege on the contract unless we offer the same financial terms.
