Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

So one can only assume the guys who talent spotted HOLLIS and locked him up as we wasted time developing him got it completely wrong. So are we unable to identify talent?

The talent identifiers are all at wealthier clubs. How are the Roosters dominating the lower grades ffs

So we don’t have talent identifiers?? Oh that’s right we have no money so I’m not sure why we even bother hey?? Just as long as us plebs keep turning up and paying their memberships.

Pfft you never turn up. Just like the team

Last week I realised we only had one game left that wasn’t on free to air so I cancelled my Kayo (mostly to get rid of Dribbler Dronk) and was going to go to our one non FTA game.
Now I’m just glad I don’t need to listen to Pooper Plonk

FFS!! I’ll be there in round 25 I think. So that’s one more game than the team.

No remember there was the Roosters game after we lost to the Dogs where we realised we hadn’t turned up against Dogs so we needed to turn up against Roosters. We don’t need a coach, we just need a PA to remind us to turn up to things.
Actually f**k that, if the club wants to save a few dollars, they can just set some reminders on the players phones on when they’re meant to turn up

I’m going to make one of those massive signs and go to to games with it and sit opposite the tunnel.
“Have you remembered to turn up today, you useless clods?”

Thad what Alfie probably does. He's behind the broncs all the time

And @hineyrulz you can dust off your one about Gordie’s mum being a “rig”

If form should demand selection, then how on earth is Makatoa ahead of Nrown?? Nrown's worst game is still better than anything Makatoa will/has ever produce/d....

I didn't see the footage that a few referred to of JA sitting alone in the dressing room last night, and maybe there's absolutely nothing in it, but I feel so sorry for that kid today. Getting boo'd by so-called home fans, getting 5 minutes game time when we're behind by 20. That sort of shit could break anyone. BA needs to take some blame here. From what we can gather, BA has also fostered an atmosphere of isolation and exclusion with Nrown also. Nrown stated after the Tigers game the coach basically hasn't spoken to him for a few weeks. That is unhealthy. No wonder the playing group look splintered.

Would anyone be surprised if Dylan Brown f**ked off out of this mess and signed elsewhere for 2024? That's the guy we should be giving the captaincy to and making our long term leader. Never shirks a challenge, is always the last one chasing.... Would lead by example IMO

Leading by example doesn't make you a good leader, though - take Gutherson.

Fittest merkin at the club, never gives up - horrible leader.

I heard from someone I work with that Gutherson was spotted at a local pie shop in the Parramatta area in the off season this year, and was bad mouthing the hell out of Tom Opacic...

You had me convinced until one comment. I'd be surprised if Gutho ate pies to be honest.

 

[Glenneel]

I agree but only if papa doesn't want to stay

Fifita has always been a lazy player even when a school boy. Was mentioned as probably the best sb player to come thru but in final that year wasn't sighted. So unless coaching staff can get him motivated would be a bad investment imo.

He runs like a pie eater lately.

 

[Glenneel]

It's more moving Gutho out of his position. He is stinking up the joint at the back. Id just as happily move Gutho to centre or NSW Cup and leave Brown at 6. Brown would still get a lot of touches at fullback.

Move Guth to centre to replace Peninisi & Russell to fb. Guth's form has declined alarmingly along with the team. Too many crash plays is becoming embarrassing & knocking our forwards around. Time to stop cp's and just offload at will and we may actually win one of our final games otherwise we're out of top 8 & maybe BA out of a job! Hang on! change nothing, BA out of a job sounds good!!!!

I assumed he meant Opa was at the pie shop and Gutho has just followed him there to shout abuse at him... "f**k me you dumb merkin, who buys cheese and cauliflower pies?! Arrrrrrggghhhhh!!!!"

lol, great source

some people hear what they want to hear

Huh

Brad needs to take ALL the blame

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So we don’t have talent identifiers??

All that matters is that we don’t have the best ones. Do you realise the clubs are competing off the field as well as on it?

Oh that’s right we have no money so I’m not sure why we even bother hey??

We have money. We just don’t have the most money, or even close to it. But we have more than the shit clubs.

Just as long as us plebs keep turning up and paying their memberships.

If you don’t like finishing seventh you’re going to hate where we’d finish if merkins stopped supporting the club financially.

Oh

As long as all those pensioners keep putting their pensions through the pokies we should be sweet.

It’s not just about not turning up. We definitely turned up last night. It was the first game this year where we scored first and lost. We were just outclassed.

Merkins are probably disappointed that the Broncos being shit wasn’t the new normal after all. But they are a very wealthy club. They should be challenging for the top four every single year. Look at all their Origin players.
