Rumours and Stuff

[hindy111]

Shut up merkin, you don't think we're going to get to week three. You bet $50 on it ffs!

I didn't expect Roosters and Storm to cop so many injuries.
But they have had bad luck.

In 14hrs one of us will be $100 richer

I remember in years in the past when we had lots of injuries, it was considered a problem at our club .... we dont train right or something so merkins get 8njured .... the roosters must have hired an AFL guy cos they have had a few bad years now

I’ll leave it to you to fantasise which one’s which

I imagine Jarryd would be spooning Ronald McDonald

It’s very exciting

Murchie is an average safe player, a Bea Arthur bargain bin job.

Like Papali’i? He and Hopgood seem like the player types we need. Indians, not chefs.

At this stage I'm more worried about how many bombs Waqa will drop.

Apart from last week where he got the wobbles against Nathan's upper stratosphere spiral kicks, when has he really been shit under the high ball ? Happy to be corrected, but what other game did he have multiple kick return errors ?

Surely there are some Indian chefs?

 

[gaffer]

i hope that klien has been spoken to and not to make a good game into a shit show on friday night

What do you have against chefs?
Why are Indians so much better than chefs??

Just trying to understand the analogy:
You love basmati rice and the street foods of Goa - not the cleanest at times, but hearty and those Indians are trying to give you a good meal. You think a hatted chef with their fancy presentation is all show and no go.

Therefore, you love players with grit (which you might find in the food), who are wholesome and try hard
You don't like showy players who are all about the presentation.

I think that was a fair effort on my part.

In Melbourne Round 3 he dropped 3 bombs from memory.

 

[oldmancraigy]

I don't know how everyone bar BA can see this as well...

Would the team be that different if we had Russell on the bench with Gutho covering the halves/hooker position?

Russell could also cover Waqa. If he spills the first bomb, he spills them all. Quick sub as soon as he drops the first one - then Waqa can come back on if the unthinkable happens and we lose a hooker/ half/ FB or outside back

 

[oldmancraigy]

Haha nah we’re the biggest club in the game. Look at all the premierships we won before Brad Arthur joined the club ffs

The club with the most premierships went broke and got kicked out of the comp.
The club that was in second saw the writing on the wall, and was rebirthed as a merged entity to survive.




Why did I bother....

 

[JokerEel]

Ice plays on the right, Lane on the left.

In was looking at it in a mirror alright! He plays on the right same as ice.

 

[Eelementary]

He's still just 19, there was nothing wrong with him learning his trade in 2nds. And earning his spot, which he hasn't IMO.

I totally agree.

I assume that Russell got suspended because of that hip-drop tackle ? He was absent from the extended squad this week ?

The other type of Indian!

 

[Incorrect]

The other type of Indian!

The motorcycle kind??

Yep, I wear the baggy clown pants in that relationship

 

[Gazzamatta]

Murchie, Lane, Hopgood, Matto not a bad combination for the backrow/lock positions.

Squad isn't that bad next year tbh.

Lane & matto keep there form up.

Hopgood and Murchie are basically replacing Papali'i and niukore.

Just need hodgson to somehow stay fit.

Whoever is coaching us next year should get that squad to the finals.

Need to find a back up half back though.
