Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

Yea Toovey had it tough. Made a prelim, a grand final and then a semi final. Must have had a shit house squad.

As for Barrett's Manly squad in 2016 there were only a handful of players still at Manly from when Hasler was last coach (2011). Can't blame Hasler for Barrett getting shit results. Barrett is just a shit house coach.

Yep maybe learn how a back ended contract works.

I just want you to answer the question: Who are the poorest clubs?

I would say any club that has won less than 40% or 45% of their games over the past 10 years.

 

[JokerEel]

I actually think Hasler is a gun. One of the few coaches better than Brad Arthur.

He is a fine coach he wouldn't do anything that BA could not do at the club though.

Todd Payton would have been a good choice

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It’s too soon to make a call on Payten. Does he even have a 3YRWR?

I know how a back ended contract works. One thing about them is they do eventually end, which almost all of them had done once Barrett took the reigns.

Yep and by the time they end you lose alot due to the other players contracts of talent hence why The Dogs cap was f**ked thanks to Des.

Not yet! I just like how he uses his forwards and the backs play with alot of freedom

Would they have made the two grand finals without backpacking contracts? I doubt it.

Who knows! You still need to coach them though which dea did well.

We didn't even make the finals with back ended contracts and brown paper bags!

 

[the phantom menace]

A certain centre and winger think they're on backpacking contracts, judging by recent performances.

 

[TheRam]

None of the scouts from the other clubs thought he was worth it either.

As soon as they saw him play they offered him a contract. We didn't even want him playing in our juniors so he stopped playing.

I wish they’d f**k off to Europe ASAP.

 

[TheRam]

You mean like making the grand final?

No as in juniors coming through consistently and being quality NRL standard players. Penisini is the only one in 3 years. As for forwards, it has been what 7 seasons?

And send Opacic back in their place!

On Tales of Dolphin Town Wayne said hed rather start with 20 and fill the squad with Phin kids rather than sign the wrong player that could put the club behind for years. A bit like what BA is saying now. Starting now!
I guess even Wayne can make a mistake though. Milford comes to mind although I think hes only got a 1 year contract

Looks like he had some growing up to do. Was probably a fat lazy merkin with a chip on his shoulder. Wasn’t he mates with Fainu? Shit merkins think other shit merkins are top blokes.

On a possitive two kids for Flegg have been promoted. I however doubt the prop plays. Greig and Makatoa most likely back up and get a spot.

Good news on the Fullback however. Sounds like he might be ok.

We have good forwards. That’s why we let so many go.

What was so bad about that.

The Dogs have spent 7 years in the doldrums.

All hail king Dessie
