Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

has he been tosssed since the GF or is he injured as rumoured?

Officially injured: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2023/03/07/injury-update-round-2/

Unofficially, why are the Roosters interested in an injured player?

 

[Noise]

But they didn’t.

You do know that price is often the biggest barrier to a signing, particularly when the player is under contract and the existing club needs to agree on how much they will chip in?

Which could be why he's not getting a run. There is no requirement for the two clubs to agree on anything. The player negotiates with both separately. If the Roosters don't want to pay what he's on and we don't agree to pay the difference it is up to the player to either accept a pay cut or hang around until his contract expires.

Zzzzz yeah but you guys are coming from a place of unconscious bias because you think it’s quite fine for a player to pipe up and tell the coach that he has NFI. Most people woukd think that’s a tad out of line, a poor career move and most definitely a dickhead trait.

You don’t think so ? Cool, we have different opinions. I don’t know why some of you get all hot under the collar and shouty when merkins disagree with you.

Can a mod please remove this post. There’s unsourced claims, stating a player abused his coach.

I’m trying to engage in a decent discussion with you, haven’t been aggressive or abusive and this is your response. I know you’re entitled to an opinion and I appreciate that, but is anyone else agreeing with you, re Nrown being a dh? Sometimes and need to stand back and read what people are saying. Just bc he got into an argument he’s not a dickhead. On that basis everyone is a dickhead. You may find this a little surprising, but u may learn a thing or two off others.

let’s hope Nathan brown, the parramatta eels forward sees what’s been written about him. I’m sure he wouldn’t be impressed.

So no body has signed him because he’s a dickhead?

manly was after him a couple years ago. Then west tigers were reportedly after him last year and again this year.

you think he was less of a dickhead back then?

or he priced himself out of range and/or the eels and tigers couldn’t agree on a deal?

Ive seen Browny on Tic Tok with his Nona and hes no dickhead " hes a good boy!"

I’ve meet him once had a good chat promoting junior rl to local schools. Came across as a good bloke willing to give anyone time of day.

Cause its just a rumour.

Wait, so because you three don’t agree I should learn something and change my opinion? Is that what you are trying to tell me ?

well if he’s a social media vigilante hothead, then he’s definitely a dickhead.

You seem a little tense and uptight on the forums mate. It can’t be good for you. I’m only pointing out, maybe there’s a few more knowledgeable people than yourself here.

but I could be entirely wrong. Maybe you know more than most what a dickhead is. You do seem the type that spends much time in the mirror, telling yourself how awesome you are!

well, not yet

you would assume they have some one in mind otherwise why would they let him go

Because it’s Parramatta

One rule for some another rule for others. But but but mods can have opinions too.

 

[The Predictor]

A fwd pack
RCG
Hodgo
Jnr
Lane
Sirro
Hopgood
Is a seriously good fwd pack
Bench
Asi
Matto
Doorey/Murchie/Carty
Greig

Is also a decent bench. Greig can be a weapon. Needs more minutes and belief. Seems like supercoach doesn't rate him.
Unleash the beast in him.
However Murchie is not a middle and absolutely wasted and used incorrectly
Matto and Greig should be the middles or Matto plays the link role when he comes on Hopgood plays prop until Jnr and RCG come back on.
There is a good team there. Up to the coach to extract the best out of them and have more than front loading.
Confidence comes from defence...we are still poor around the ruck and teams expose us with up tempo, quick play the balls and dummy half running.
Having new backrowers this year has probably thrown us a little bit. From what I've seen Doorey hits and tackles well (not sure on his tackle efficiency)
Lack of Lane is hurting us. Let's not forget as good as Papali'i was offensively he had some shocking defensive lapses last year with his missed tackles sometimes surpassing double digits in games...got worse the more minutes he played..

Greig is an X factor , because Brad picks him but doesn’t play him, dumbfounding, getting rid of Brad will be as good as a GF victory

 

[The Predictor]

Is

Exactly. He’s copped it for speaking honestly to the coach and hasn’t complained once. There is only one dickhead in this situation and it isn’t Brown.

Is he bald ?

 

[JokerEel]

So I can understand we dont hate Nathan Brown again?

 

[The Predictor]

Wasn’t it you who posted this ? Must only apply to your mates.
