Rumours and Stuff

[the phantom menace]

When it's a fact I say so. Otherwise I'm just giving my opinion, no different to the rest of you.

The mind boggles that a smart bloke like you doesn't think he knows the latest rumours circulating in RL. Don't kid yourself, you're better then that.

So it's a fact that prior to season start we did chase an established prop (Tapau). What makes you think we suddenly changed our mind after 4 games for 1 win?

 

[Rocket man]

My source is logical reasoning. A strong team is full of players providing value. A weak team is full of overpaid players.

Centre is our Achilles heal at the moment. Penisini is great but we can't rely on Blake or Simonsson to get the job done on the other side. There are better fullback options available compared to centre options so maybe it is best for the team to sign an X factor fullback and have Guth at centre. Guth was good enough to play centre for NSW. He is an attacking threat and a damn good defender. He doesn't need blistering speed at centre and just needs to be a strong defender and have the ability to set up his winger.

Capewell gave him a bath in SOO

Who would you chase then? Knowing that we have 2 big minute, big money props already in the squad. Plus Matterson who is a very effective first drop middle. And I don't want to debate about the quality of the bench rotation. Cause as I see it any prop who could win us a comp is going to be out of our price range for what we need them to do. I'd go after Sean Keppie fwiw. Good blend of youth, experience, slight merkinry and not a top tier salary.

Extended with Manly lastvyear I think

Only need to remind him that his employer has just brought in Aaron Woods to do his job and he might have second thoughts.

Keppie's a keeper!

Agree Re Keppie. Above everything else, he seems to be a good defender who hits hard and sticks on first contact.... Dare I say he loves to chase the collision....

And yet we didnt.

I can't believe we aren't chasing a front rower. The mind boggles.

Now this is how you pass opinion off as fact @Legal Eel

 

[the phantom menace]

Looks like straight out opinion to me... the "I can't believe" kind of gives it away as such.

See Bartman, this is what I meant the other day when I said something about you always wanting to prove Pou wrong... there was no need for your comment to Pou's post so I am genuinely interested in why you do it.

I can't believe that Parramatta lost the 2022 NRL grand final to Penrith - opinion or fact?

No, it's a classic example of an old rhetorical trick, excluding the middle propsition in the argument (i.e. the one that states that the club is not, in fact, looking for a prop).

"I can't believe" is just one of Rammy's ways of ridiculing the club. It's the equivalent of "It's f**ked that..."

Here’s you being dishonest again.

“Can’t believe” is a rhetorical device conveying disagreement with the thing the speaker can’t believe. If he didn’t believe it he would say that.

I can’t believe you didn’t already know this.

He does it because I’m living rent free in his head, apparently.

Squatting?
