Rumours and Stuff

Most merkins wouldn't have known I was angry. I have very good self control.

You're a thinker. I'll go for the bigger ones. And offer them a chunky steak

But why does she have a hole above her right breast?
Has this got something to do with Ben Lee?

And why does she have a ferero roche for a head? And no arms

Look. Would you tap it or not?

I would be too distracted by the ferero roche

Apparently Ice is going to go to Tigers next year..

I would seriously go all out for David Fafita and not the twin from My Druitt....

Brown did himself no favours in contract negotiations tonight. Moses on the other hand has just put $100k a year on his next deal.

If we're poor against the Dogs next week, then Moses will cost us $1.2m a season. Brown will need to go to the Warriors to collect the high paid NZ welfare.

So you want to replace a bloke we're paying $175k to this year for a bloke on $1m?

How do you want the other $825k from the salary cap covered?

There is a couple and their 2 adult daughers, their spouses and some grandkids who sit in the 2 rows in front of me at CommBank. Nice couple, early-mid 60's probably and mad supporters who get to every game by half-time in reggies when reggies are on before the NRL game. One of the daughters moved to WA early in 2020 and they kept the tickets because of the good location - they let friends etc use them.

They were all there tonight, including the WA family of 5, all except the dad/grandad.
He passed away in the last couple of days suddenly and to honour his memory and his love for the Eels, the whole family came out to the game. His widow was quiet and the rest of them very subdued, but they came as a family because it was what they did as a family.

And our team, who don't understand what they mean to some fans, didn't turn up.
Saddens me on two fronts.

Pie and a coke!

Apparently we had enough cap space for ice next season whatever that is who knows...

We do need another game breaking forward though it's wishful thinking to get Fafita but that's what the club needs...

No good if was only mid 60s.

No good if was only mid 60s.

I am guessing that but it wouldnt have been much more. I dont know exactly but his eldest grandchild is about 10 or 11 and his youngest daughter appears early 30's at most.

I hope Moses and Drown (and their deadshit managers) realise it’s the sum of the parts and not their individual brilliance that will bring success. Drown in particular has a very long career on good coin if he stays in a competitive set up. If he chases coin now in a cellar dweller team that pay day could very quickly subside.

We need someone like Hopgood defending in the middle. Matterson can go out to Papali’i’s edge. It will improve our middle and our right edge significantly, in defence at least.

Might be what Mahoney and Papali'i realise too... too late.

Moses is worth over $1 million without Brown, at probably 10 clubs. Brown is far less without a good half, at any club.

Not only do we need to improve our defence on that edge, but we need to improve our attack with someone who is prepared to run lines and run decoys. We are absolutely shit at any movement off the ball and you could see tonight that for the most part, Souths had done their homework on (a) Papali'i coming back outside-in off the half-back and (b) Lane needing to get through the line to get his arm free for an off-load to support. South nullified both of these pretty well which meant until we started playing Parraball we had not much to bother them on either edge. It has been that way for 2 years. IMO Ice only looked the goods (and got his DallyM Second-Rower of the Year) last year because our power game had him attacking from inside the 20 more often which we have only been able to do on a couple of occasions this season.

I’m glad Mahoney is going. He is playing so poorly this season. There are much better hookers on less coin than he’s on next year. Paps will regret chasing the coin and I think will suffer financially in the long run.

Junior and RCG were terrible tonight. I have never seen them put such a lacklustre effort in.
