Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

I was a big fan of the club letting Brown go now as I was under the assumption they had players to fill those spots..

Now I am just thinking WTF

We have Moses to re-sign and whatever cap space we don’t use this year on recruitment we can front load retentions.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’m sorry mate, I actually agree with Bart. You can’t be normal

I’m not. No need to apologise.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Remember when they listed how much each club had in TPA's a few years ago now? Sure we were low, but so were a few other well run clubs with great rosters at the time including the Roosters. You are just so ridiculous and not in a funny way.

Those published TPAs are the types of TPA that are independent of the club. They don’t include exclusive investment opportunities or employment for family members or post-career.

We signed him from qld cup where he was the best player in that comp that year. He had a very good season (or two) with us and signed with manly. Many were sad to see him leave. Not a great signing but not a terrible one either. If he stays fit, he can add a little to the squad imo.

That's not the point. He is not what we need or how we should be strategizing our recruitment at this point.

No we can't.

You can only front load to a degree on new contract not existing ones.

Should Front load everyone!

We should front load Bea Arthur’s contract so he can finish up this season.

I’m the first to criticise the club, when it’s warranted. We’ve lost RCG for the bulk of the year. Davey off memory is probably a better defender than emu, hopgood and Murchie. He could probably play middle and edge. Had we signed him while RCG is fit, I’d be a little concerned. Dogs I have no doubt are chipping in and I doubt he’s costing much. I’m not expecting him to be a game changer but I know he’ll put in 100%.

seek help mate.

Yeah I know, hence why I wrote what I wrote about us needing to find ways and giving examples of what I think we should be doing to compete with the likes of Rusty or Uncle Nick.

Stop maneuvering to your contrarian position by subtly agreeing with me but trying to make it sound like your opinion is any different than mine. Unfortunately for you you are a running joke for most posters on here now. I know you have issues as you keep agreeing that you do, but try to control it a little mate. We are all Parra supporters here mate. There is no need to fight with nearly everyone.

If it was no good you would've been able to rebut it rather than make personal attacks. Stalking family members, mental health shaming, all that stuff. You've made clear you don't deserve any good faith engagement.

Yeah... nah. You had a tanty last weekend plain and simple, and none of the stuff you've mentioned above happened then or is relevant. Some better coping mechanisms for whenever people disagree with you on the internet might help?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We had the money to buy a decent prop and hooker and and maybe a lower grade rising star centre or winger then worry about fillers later.

How much did we have?

 

[TheRam]

How much did we have?

Not telling.

It’s the middle of the year ffs. You can only sign who’s available.

 

[the phantom menace]

Nope. Not me.

Hmm. Fair enough...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No we can't.

You can only front load to a degree on new contract not existing ones.

The new contract can start this year though.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I appreciate your concern for my mental health. Cheers mate. Looks like you’re another good bloke.

Davey obviously signed to play Cup and watching them try and defend last weekend, he has to be an improvement.

But some how this is a bad thing.

I suppose the issue is our power game.

Davey wont replace RCG's power in the middle. He has strengths in other areas.

Hopefully injury may force BA hand and lack of capable replacements to shift the game plan when we are coming out of our end.

Here's hoping anyway.

I don't think that's obvious. I think he'll be picked on our bench first chance they get (Magic Round)
