Rumours and Stuff

[the phantom menace]

So whichever team you are comparing us to this year, they haven't scored more tries than we have. You're demonstrably fabricating reasons to f**king whinge now.

Oh dear. Can't you just take a step back and observe the difference in quality?

Or just continue to attempt to find ways to justify acceptance of whatever mediocrity is dished up week to week, and blind faith in authority figures that can't do wrong in your eyes....

 

[the phantom menace]

The Panthers lost at home to the Broncos missing Walsh. It means nothing because it's only one game. Kennedy, Moylan and Trindall all stepped up well.

Is that anything like how one of your individual fourm posts mean nothing, because it is just one post?

And the sum of lots of nothings is of course...

Apparently the swap is Nathan Brown for Corey Allan and we'd have some money left over for Sironen.

Is that a good swap for us?

Allan possibly pushes Blake to the wing or LRO..

Siro would be handy on the bench

Sironen is better than Doorey and Cartwright

Cmon Hindy111. It's a loooonnggg season. You don't want to peak too early. I mean it's character building, ironing out the chinks in all grades and I'm sure once we start front loading, producing effort on effort plays and use just 14 players in all grades we will be firing on all cylinders and all those other clubs better be looking over their shoulders

Mmm, are u being sarcastic?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We have Blake and Nrown on around 500 k each

Says who ffs

 

[Avenger]

Sironen is better than Doorey and Cartwright

agree

Gross.

What happened to Louisou?

Parra needs to outsource the development of players from 18 to 21. Our system is a graveyard.

You win some, you lose some. Penisini is the same age as Loizou and he was top 25 in the NRL for tackle breaks last year. He is averaging the same number (3 per game) in 2023.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So was Darren Clark. How did that go?

Did he score 60 tries in first grade like Waqa Blake?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Thinking about it our graveyard reputation is probably no worse than many other clubs it’s just we are so close on the map to Penrith who are doing god knows what different to us.

Spending money

 

[Black Panther]

The Panthers lost at home to the Broncos missing Walsh. It means nothing because it's only one game. Kennedy, Moylan and Trindall all stepped up well.

But Penrith won the second game, Parra didn’t.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They come into the NRL over 20yrs ago but. Grothe was 23yrs ago.
We should be producing a wing or centre every 3yrs of some quality. Not talking fringe NRL level players who are in and out of grade.
We've produced pretty much duck eggs in 20yrs bar Seminand Penisni

How can you produce more than that when other clubs are free to sign them?

 

[Soto]

Mmm, are u being sarcastic?

And what would make u think that?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Where are we getting another halfback close to as good as Mitch. I’ll pay him more than a mill. If that’s what top 5 halfbacks are getting.

He's not really our halfback, he just does most of the kicking. Drown gets more touches, makes more runs and throws more passes than Moses. Drown is fifth in the NRL for engaging the line and first for LBAs.

Don't be fooled by the jersey number, Dylan Brown is our primary playmaker. Moses just finishes our sets and kicks goals. They complement each other really well. "Good LBA Drown!" "Chur bro, the goals you didn't miss yesterday were nice!"

 

[Avenger]

Did he score 60 tries in first grade like Waqa Blake?

No but Blake is a dumb footballer. Absolute dunce.

 

[Soto]

Gross.

Corey Allan...more clubs than Greg Norman...but in truth I don't mind him. He was playing great in the Soufs team a few years back and I think he even played Origin. Better than some of the outside back options we have. If it also means we land Sirro then I'm all for it.
Twin towers Lane and Sirro. Bring it on

 

[Avenger]

Gross.

Not a fan?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We offered Waqa more. We stitched Semi up on 250k and said bad luck you signed rather then giving him a front loaded upgrade. Or when we did it was small amounts.

I think he leaves anyway but we may of squeezed 2 more yrs out of him

Yeah for sure. He would've loved to lose a million dollars a year staying in the NRL.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What don't you get?

The more we pay Moses the less we can strengthen other areas within the team.

At what point do you give him his marching orders? Sign him up to 1.25m for 5 years? What makes you think he is the best we can get for that time and on that money?

What can Moses do differently on more money within the next 5 years thats going to contribute to us having a bigger chance of winning a premiership?

We might be worse in 2024 if we let him walk but if we overpay him we could be worse in the three years after that.
