Rumours and Stuff

Arthur is a better backup than Asi. A player like Asi is either a key player or he isn't. Low effort attacking players don't make good backups. They are liabilities.
As someone has said Asi is a better backup for Brown while Jake is a better backup for Moses. ASI will be hyped to get his opportunity and this Dyl crap may go on for months yet so he will be wanting to make an impression.

He has some skills. Not in Dilbys league but has shown attacking ability when given 1st grade opportunities.

If Gutho has supposedly stepped in and told players to shut up.

Then wtf are the players.

The only 2 players out there with a big personality are Gutho and Moses who I could see joking around with this type of shit. Gutho and Moses are winding each other up all the time.

The rest of the side seem like pretty vanilla if you ask me. Hodgo is too old, Paulo is a softie off the field these days, Laney was talking at a presser.

Matto is always in the corner counting his cash, I don't think Dylan would have been stupid enough to create more attention on himself.

Reg looks too serious to me to be mucking around.

Anyone have ideas

It’s also possible it wasn’t a NRL player

The joint is lacking discipline. This is obvious. The fact that our second highest paid player was even night clubbing during the bye round when the players collectively made a pledge to lay low tells me many things.

It tells me that familiarity with our senior leadership including the coach who is about to break Brian Smith’s record (I still can’t believe that) can breed contempt and in this case it can breed a lack of discipline and respect. If we had either of those the event over the weekend and todays antics at the press conference would never happen.
I don’t think it’s as bad as what you make it out and it will blow over pretty quick. It’s enough to derail whatever was left of our chances for top 6, but that’s about it. I don’t buy that it reflects a culture or discipline issue cos even the clubs that claim to have it all sorted, have these hiccups. All if them.

This charge is pretty low tier and from the peeps I have spoken to and the chances of conviction are super low. Simply due to inebriation (unreliability) of witnesses, poor lighting and CCTV.

I can’t hep but think that the media and the NRL would have treated this differently if it was a media darling club, but what can you do ?

We will just have to ride through the media pile on and the opportunistic sledging by thise who think it’s a club’s or coach’s responsibility to babysit these millionaires 24/7.

Lets hope its get sorted on June 28 or at least further clarity on the situation. Its the uncertainty that kills people. If we knew Dylan would miss 3 games and be back it would be an easier situation to deal with.

Ironically our finals chances may depend on Moses getting picked for NSW now as we still have 3 winnable games up to June 28 to keep the momentum going - Manly game now looks more iffy with potentially no Moses if he gets picked for NSW. But Manly will have Jake & Schuster running the show. So it may be a cripple fight in the halves.

But if Moses doesn't get picked for NSW there really isn't an excuse not to win all 3 and hope Dylan is back post 2nd bye. Besides Emu and Lane our full strength forward pack should be back by the Dolphins match barring any further injuries.

So let's review:

Ray wasn't there
There were other staff in the rooms
This affects how they have played for the last 10 years

I think this falls into the category of conjecture.
