Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Who are the Broncos top 5 players? Poupou made comments after last week to the tune of the Broncos having a far superior team than us which has caused me grief all week as I thought they wer still fairly crap on paper.
Their best are:
Walsh
Staggs
Reynolds
Carrigan

who else is good?

Jesse Arthur's

Also Cobbo and Farnworth

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Haha. When did you have your epiphany?

When I read Fooled by Randomness and stopped being a f**ken little dumb merkin.

I know the angle most fans see the game from, because I once saw it the same way. Everything is either awesome or shit, with no in between. The fact is our losses have had a bit of bad luck and our wins have had a bit off good luck, including this one. We're a decent team. When we control the ball we're a good one. With a bit of luck we can sneak into another grand final. With some bad luck we might miss the eight. That's the angle I see it from.

ok next time you watch a game try and watch it with your eyes open

That was a quick edit

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The first answer was funnier but to be honest, the course didn't really teach me anything new. But Fooled by Randomness was a truly mind-expanding experience.

Thank you for you ongoing interest in the Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Club and thank you for keeping up.

Thank you for continuing to talk about them in this thread, thus giving me the opportunity to hang shit on them.

 

[strider]

I don’t know what that means.

No. We have the spine, back row and props to be top 4 if the backs where any good. Haze and Russel are not. Imagine Waqa and Superman turned out gun players. Same as Hodgson if he turned back the clock. We would be top 4 no buts.

So what happens is we go into games where we rely on luck. At our best other sides can still beat us.
That being said we have the squad to make the top 8 and if not that's embarrassing with these forwards and spine

Verbal rumour so no source, but was told by someone who should know that RCG is possibly only 5 weeks out.

Well definitely not Ezra Mam. Pou asserts Jake Arthur has him covered....

Here’s hoping it wasn’t the same merkin that told you rheed was staying.

My brother went to live Canada in August last year for 2 years with a working visa.

He came home yesterday for a few weeks for a quick stop home.

We calculated the Tigers didn't win a game in the 8 months so far he has spent in Canada.

They’ll probably win this week….

Interestingly it kinda was.

Mam is more like an extra fullback. Looks great behind a dominant pack and with someone else to do the kicking.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Jesse Arthur's

Also Cobbo and Farnworth

Maybe we could swap Jake for Jesse. Keep it in the family.

More chance of Peter Brock coming back from the dead then tigers winning this week.

I think they will beat Dragons Magic Round best chance before origin,

ohhh ho ho ha! Really? wow what a stat. We really are bad.

My brother had a son (lets call him my nephew). That nephew went to kindergarten, then infants school, then primary school. My nephew then went to high school, went through puberty, grew peach fuzz. Graduated high school, got his license, took a gap year in europe, took another gap year in europe, took a year in Canada working the ski fields, then came home and finished a degree. Got a job, started a career. Met a girl, fell in love, Courted for some years. Got married. Had a child and that kid starts high school next year.

Neither my nephew or his son have ever seen Parra win a comp. None of my kids have either but my oldest is only 27 so it doesnt really make the point.

Shit that doesn't happen often is more exciting than shit that happens all the time. This is why Parramatta is the NRL's main character. The comp is basically all about us. There's no story in the Roosters or Storm winning another premiership. Not even the Panthers now. Only their fans care. When Parra wins the comp again everyone will care. They won't have a choice.

Your nephew’s son that’s starting high school next year wouldn’t have seen the Tigers play in finals footy, would he? Hasn’t seen them finish literally within the top 50 percent of NRL teams in a given season?
