Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Ones putrid and the other is average. Please don’t compare the two.

As Pou has pointed out numerous times he leads all the stats in reggies so you tell me what that means. I think you have a very fixed mindset about Jake and you're not prepared to concede any ground whatsoever. Nobody is saying he is worthy of anything other than an occasional emergency-break-glass scenario.

Who would you prefer to be next man up 7 for NRL ? Jake or Rankin ?

I will concede Jake is the prefect NSW Cup halfback that is only an "emergency-break-glass scenario".

he is absolutely not a bench player though.

BA agrees (this year). Do you think he has decided nepotism is not cool anymore?

Well he's not picked as a benchy now we have two hookers.

He is picked as 18th man. I assume because stats show that if we loose players to the headbin, we a likely to loose backs. So Jake can play 6 or 7 and Dylan can play anywhere.

 

[King-Gutho94]

was just listening to guth and they were talking about who will be marking Dave Fafita?

I am asuming Carty and Moses. But maybe we should have Matto there this game instead.

Just caught up on that interview.

I had to laugh at Michael Clarke about him waffling on about the different conditions he played in England and India trying to compare it to the Suncorp Stadium turf after 8 games of footy.

Stick to Cricket Pup.

I dont actually mind pup. At least he's not annoying.

I find the 2sm blokes really annoying - Graeme Hughes, Peter Tunks. Pappy and Robbo are ok.

I dont like SEN so much as I hate brandy

The document that shows why NRL will approve Souths’ Wighton deal

The NRL’s 2022 salary cap benchmarking document shows the average salary of a top five centre last year was $614,680. The Rabbitohs have signed Wighton for $800,000.

www.smh.com.au

Waqa in the top five paid centres? But don’t these sources and journalists know Pou’s extrapolations and theories trump all sources and facts that have been reported several times?

Are you suggesting I was right and Pou was @Incorrect

 

[TheRam]

I've been a fan of Averillo's for a while - he's what we are expecting Rusell to develop into, but Jake is already there.

Adding Averillo, alone, would transform our backline.

I can't see it happening, though.

Sure my only concern with him has been his size and seeing that the Dogs have opted to bring in two larger, stronger and also very fast bodies tells me that they also had/have the same concern.

But we don't have that luxury and seeing that he is as quick as he is and so brilliant on his feet, he is definitely worth a shot. He should only get stronger and fill out a little more as he matures. I'm still not sure if centre is where he should stay, for mine he may end up being a better option at wing a la Addo-Carr. We could finally compress our attack for a couple of sets and then at the right time when we have sucked in the defense enough to concentrate in the middle, fire the ball out to him as quickly as possible and he would almost always beat everyone to the try line, a la Storm - JAC. Overlaps would once again be real opportunities. Then again Potato Head will ask him and demand he become a bulldozer and take hit ups instead.

But who am I kidding. I'll stop dreaming now. We wouldn't have a clue and he will probably go to the Tigers now that the have their new recruitment officer in Scott Fulton who builds all his squads on speed. We build our on collision and power but then don't recruit enough of the right players to execute it.

Comparing the Indian roads Clarke played on to a Suncorp surface that’ll be only slightly less chocked than a @hineyrulz front nine is laughable

 

[84 Baby]

That’s why they’re already linked to noted speedster Josh Schuster

 

[Gronk]

new recruitment officer in Scott Fulton

He was signed because of his knowledge of junior pathways. AKA how to pinch players from the Eels district.

He wishes!!

it is going to be Matto he would have played in the position last weekend.

 

[TheRam]

They probably cant wrap him up as he has excelled at centre is shit at the wing. The bulldogs have an abundance of centres coming through plus the drug cheat coming through.

Gould has more than likely told Druggo he will be a centre they stole Gabriel from us to play centre and most likely told him as well also they have the rugby guys kid in Cup . So if they go and resign Jake it may force a few talented people to leave.

I don't judge small bodies on the wing and or centre when they are playing in sh*t teams defensively. They can be a mixed bag. Look at Marika Koroibete and JAC when at the Tigers they both had their issues in defense, but were sill great finishers when given the opportunity. Even the best of them have looked ordinary over the years. Sure he is playing better in the centres then he did on the wing, but defensively I have seen him move to the wing at different stages too. So that tells me that there maybe a problem there. Whoever signs him next better do their homework and pour over all of his moments and work out what exactly is his problem and are they technique, mental or just a lack of strength and not wanting to put his body on the line. We don't want another Bevan French on our hands. We know how Potato Head doesn't know how to use those types of players and will end up destroying the kids confidence almost guaranteed.

If I were a coach, I would try to pour all my energy into turning him into a centre like Jarrod Croker at his best or a winger like Addo-Carr. They are the sorts of players that he should model his game on depending on where he ends up playing. He needs to become a student of the game, if he isn't already, and pour over videos and extra hours each day at training. He being on the smaller side needs to study the game even more so. If we were to sign him I would stress the importance of him studying the game in his own time and make it mandatory that he watches all games and picks them apart and then brings ideas to the playmakers on what he thinks they can use. This should also be part of the mandatory requirements of all our players.

Gone should be the days that you came into training, did your bit, maybe did an extra hour or two with the ball or whatever and then went home and hit the play station. The top 20 at least are being paid very well and some close to a million or more a year. So I expect at least 60-70 hour weeks of real work input. Anyone in the real world would puts that sort of time in if they are being paid in excess of $150K and upwards and expect nothing less if they wanted to excel and or if in a company rise through the ranks. If you run a small business and want to bring in that sort of money, how many hours do you think those guys and girls are putting in?

The days of an easy lunch should be over. The players fought and won a handsome remuneration package from the ARLC, they should now expect to actually earn it fairly too.

Avarillo isn't small and until last weekend I didnt think he was quick but he has a turn of pace which was surprising..

Why would you believe this stuff? It is intended to generate clicks.

 

[TheRam]

Nope haha that's gold.

Mates who are Manly fans give me so much shit about never seeing parramatta win a premiership. And how we have spoon a billion spoons while they have never won one.

Its the only jokes they have. So i rub it in whenever i can.

I hope Seibold takes to them cellar like he did at Brisbane during his tenure.

He should be immortalized for ever if he can win the first ever spoon at Sea Eagles like he did at Brisbane.

When does DCE retire? A spoon could be a real possibility then. If Seibold is still coach then, can you imagine, he brings the spoon to not one but two clubs that have never, ever had a spoon in their history.

Legend coach.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But but but he hasn’t played origin and the Panthers wouldn’t be stupid enough to pay that much.

The fact has always been that now we are paying full freight and realise the guy is a thief and we got a shit deal.

We were always paying full freight, of whatever amount we negotiated with him. If the Panthers’ payout has ended it doesn’t mean we are suddenly paying more. We are paying whatever we agreed to pay him this year.

An NRL document has revealed the average salary of a top-five centre in the NRL was $615,000 in 2022, strengthening South Sydney’s case to have Jack Wighton’s contract rubber-stamped by head office.


The Brave Rooster will now claim everyone they sign is a center , possibly will be able to sign 62 players based on the average. (avg may not be correct...)
