Rumours and Stuff

[Eelementary]

I'm actually really pleased we signed Barrett - I've thought we needed some fresh blood for a while, and Barrett has runs on the board as an assistant coach.

If we could get an assistant coach to focus on defence, that would be awesome.

That was good PJ elbowed him in the jaw video ref says it's ok gives a try then the kick it out on the full off the kickoff

I was at that game, pretty sure it was 2006 and fullback was Wade McKinnon

We should get Ciraldo. It worked for Penrith.

I was there too and it was definitely 2005.

I know right no other coach in the NRL would hire a 2 time shit coach as an assistant..........

Oh hey Mr Bellamy.

In their defence, I think it may be as this could mean BA taking another year out of us.

geez, it's not bad enough that Jetstar have to cancel your flight but they have to wake you up at 4.00 AM to notify you

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Glad I'm not on any of them.... At least not actively....

I got off them also.It's basicaly Adds , snap shots of people's best moments hoping for a likes and people giving personal opinions on things they know little about.

Haha you got analed for being a tight arse and trying to save a few pennies with JETSTAR.
They are hopeless and your a tight arse.
Good morning twizzle

Is the cap only going up for us?

Not sure....

The point I was trying to make was that if we extended Drown on big money for 2024 and beyond, in addition to having RCG, Barlow, Gutho and Matterson on big money, then we might struggle to offer the big money it would take to secure a Moses or Burton if the cap stayed at its current limit. But if a bucket of a million or more suddenly becomes available then we have more room to move and up an offer... Barlow, RCG, Matterson and Gutho have all extended long term so we won't need to find extra money for them between now and their retirement/next deal... Unless of course their mgmt had prior knowledge about cap increases for 2024+ and negotiated incremental increases each based on that, but surely the club wouldn't be stupid enough to agree to pay these guys more in their declining years at the back end of their contracts...

And I know people will say "We CaN't ScrEw oUr CaP by SiGNinG 2 hIgH PrIcEd HalVes FFS!!!" - well I say why not give it a go? We're going on 37 years without a premiership, gotta try something otherwise we'll likely need to just settle being a 6th-10th on the ladder side for the next 5 years...

It's Jetstar or the highway merkin, although logic has never really been your strong pint

6th-10 is a great achievement for a little club like ours.

Wait till Saturday merkin. Another exciting game of Bea Bald awaits us.

Not really. We aren't putting happy snaps of ourselves and we all watch and follow rugby league so have more then basic knowledge. It isn't like we are making suggestions on how to run a country or handle a pandemic etc.

The mental health thread is going to cop an awful hammering circa 5:30pm Saturday if things go pear shaped....

How many clubs can afford two big money halves? Manly couldn't back when Foran was still a star.

Melbourne with Hughes and Munster.

I wish you a safe flight. You will fly right above my head. If it's at night which is highly likely I'll put my fairy lights on and maybe you can see them
