Rumours and Stuff

[the phantom menace]

Well you spoke about half the teams making the eight and the other half missing the eight, so I assumed you were talking about pre-2023.

So what does your sentence "They don’t care if eight other teams miss the finals. It’s far worse if only seven other teams miss the finals" actually mean then?

The only scenario where eight other teams could miss the eight were when there are 17 teams in the comp... I think you've goosed yourself again perhaps?

He was doing unbelievable things.

In the GF, Superman got run down by the slowest fullback in the comp (sorry 2nd slowest if you factor in the Gutho)

[I'm a loser baby...]

I thought we'd signed Who.

 

[King-Gutho94]

It’s almost that time of year where I go and read the training reports from Cumberland Throw.

As long as it's the toughest pre-season ever we will be right.

Wouldn't say he did nothing. He did his job. But his style isn't suited to how we use that RHS edge. We want a hole hitter. Although we may have to change plans on that side, Papa was explosive and would barnstorm into holes. Haven't played close attention to Murchie's style.

Murchie is more of a hole runner, and good defender.

He's garbage and I would argue he is going backwards at a phenomenal rate of knots and no longer "way better" than Will Smith. Better yeah, but way better?? I wouldn't say so

Luke Brooks is the Derek Carr of the NRL - one of the highest paid players in the game... Why, exactly?

He was the last one standing of the big 4 at the Tigers. Should have jumped ship when the others left but the Tigers were desperate and paid him whatever he wanted.

Pretty good haircut

 

[hindy111]

My mate is convinced Vlandys and Gould are in on it together to make Tigers and Dogs strong.
He also think getting a Penrith and Parra strong was part of favouring then also based in they needed the western suburbs strong for rugby league. Afl was moving in etc.
So yes he think those two will get all the favours now.

He was going so fast I thought he was going to lift off into space

Brooks has won Dally M halfback of the year. He might be overpaid but he is way better than Will Smith.

Smith would be better defensively and on about 10% of the salary. Brooks is poison, he’s a gutless little merkin and I’d be f**king him off ASAP. I’m hardly surprised you’re in his corner. Poups the Saint of lost causes.

A brooks and Jakey halves pairing would have you blowing triple ropers in world record time.

Its funny how will smith is considered good now .... he was in paul cariage territory at one stage

Better bang for buck than Luke Brooks is not necessarily 'good'... Smith's problem has always been that he lets his brain write cheques his ability couldn't cash.... If he just learnt to stay in his lane and didn't try to over-extend he'd be a solid option...

Well he was pretty poor, but to his and the clubs credit he turned into a pretty serviceable bench option. And it might also have to with who he was replaced with

He was never that bad. Just shouldn’t be allowed to kick.

he looks like sterling in comparison to our options.

NRL news 2022: Dylan Brown response to Wayne Bennett and Dolphins poaching attempt

 

[hineyrulz]

If we lose Brown or Moses heads should roll it’s as simple as that, we’d already lost Mahoney they should of been made top priority.


The idiots in charge thought extending Captain Bald was going to be a silver bullet lol. When even the coaches Pet Guth decided to bend the club over you can really see how much “the boys love playing for BA”


Instead we have one of the undeserving players I’ve ever seen in an Eels jersey get yet another extension. Bu but but but “BeA hAd No SaY iN hIs ExTeNsIoN”

 

[yy_cheng]

If we can sign Dyl for 4 years, I still reckon he should be eased into the FB position with 2023 the transition year.

Switch Guth to 6.

Dyl has urgency in defence and I reckon his running game will be like Manu's at FB. It could be the X-Factor we need.

Guth is getting slower and I reckon he could do ok at 6. Also Guth will make an excellent backup FB when he is playing in the halves if required

If eight other teams missed the eight it would mean the Tigers didn’t. If it was only seven then Wests were the eighth. It’s not f**ken hard.

You need to stop assuming I’m the problem when you don’t understand. I’m not your special needs teacher. I do this shit for free.
