Rumours and Stuff

[TheRam]

I thought he was doing a decent job, up until 2022.

Letting Papali'i, and Mahoney, go was a big stuff up.

But replacing them with players several tiers below them was even worse.

To small a sample size.

 

[Black Panther]

It won't be May.

May might be playing in the 4 next year.

True.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Quote me where I said that?? But I did ask the question they only must re-signed Offa what was in it for them?? They might of tipped some in but any more than 450k is overs IMO.

So when will you decide you know how much we paid?

 

[TheRam]

Yep, he is a very, very good player.

I wish we produced more players like him. Other then Penisini, we have nothing that compares to what you guys have been producing, but the apologists fans here keep telling the rest of us to stay patient and they will eventually come.

Sure eventually so will Jesus...maybe?

I heard yesterday, that all our legends who played in our winning GF teams, will be presented an anniversary ring, which is a beautiful gesture, though long overdue!!!

Where will this happen? I assume they have wheelchair access.

I do share the same concerns, that they will burn out fast.

Well the way they are playing this year and with injuries, that won’t be a problem.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fu*k that's a lot of plod right there. You must be beside yourself, close to your plod of all stars right?

Probably cracking open you second jar of Vaseline as you posted right?

So which NRL roster, in your opinion, doesn’t have any plodders in it?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

his salary at the Tigers for the next two seasons has been reported at $600K

‘Reported’ by unreliable sources that wouldn’t know.

 

[oldmancraigy]

And 40 days to cross the desert.

Pretty sure the desert scene was 40 years, not days.

So 9 months to sign is very rapid

But you would with your logician’s toolbox…

I think it was inevitable. The salary cap forces clubs to replace highly paid players with cheaper players. It happens at every club and their performance takes a dip.

I think it doesn’t matter what any individual is getting paid. All that matters is the amount of talent the club can fit under the cap. That’s certainly the only thing that is visible to the slobs watching from the stands.

It didn't force them to buy Josh Hodgson

Well the sample since then has been even smaller so what are you whinging about?

The development only occurs if the club invests big money into poaching juniors, like Penrith does. If we don’t then we will need to rely on poaching fringe NRL players and unearthing roughies on the cheap. You can only work with the resources you’ve got.

It forced them to replace Mahoney with someone cheaper. Hodgson was the best option available.

Not even close, but we have been through this already.

Stop putting sh*t in my mouth merkin. There is a huge difference, but fine art to having half the squad filled with plodders to having 1/3 filled with them. We at the moment have half.

This is where producing your own comes into it. We have done very little of that hence the co*kups and even so we could have done much better if we understood what chasing the collision really means and needs..
