Mahoney is a better player than any hooker at our club, but his experience at the Dogs shows we made look better than he is. We are greater than the sum of our parts.
That may be so but Mahoney’s experience at the Dogs shows he was an inferior purchase to the hooker they already had (JMK) with a superior Dogs team.

Mahoney has been shit this year. Overplayed his hand and his defence is awful. Even in the press conference the reporter asked him directly why they were targeting him in defence. The short answer is that everyone including the ball boys know he’s a terrible front on defender.

I know some of you merkins have some hate for Rheed, but I actually feel a little sorry for him. He always gave his all for us but now his career is going backwards at a rate of knots. He overestimated his ability to make an impact outside our system and now he's being a bit exposed. Oh well, at least he's being paid well to get run over.


I think he's playing like a man who is not happy.

If it weren't for Hands' rapid rise, I'd say I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

But gee, Hands has been impressive.

I was so interested when we played the Dogs would we target Reed's weakness of his front on defence considering we saw it first hand for 5 years.

Both times we just went straight up the guts and treated with him contempt.

Even Sivo ran with vigour and energy towards him.

The little turncoat can stay with Ciraldo and be sacked by this time next year.

Players leaving is part and parcel of sport.

But we have what could turn out to be a very, very good hooker in Brendan Hands, so Mahoney would be wasted here.

Mahoney is better than what his 2023 form shows, though, despite his obvious defensive issues.

Mate you are 100% correct and having Joffa at Parra is a 100% improvement in Parras kulcha.
For the Tigers though, its about finances and Parra is paying full freight for Joffa, which is more than we got Papali'i for. So Parra get Joffa, we get IP plus $$$ plus cap space... #4DChess.

Luckily Parra have the money to spend out of the Mahoney <=> Hodgson deal

JAC's career has gone to the dogs since he laid down with them. You don't just get fleas for going there, you get a dose of rabies as a bonus.

IPap must be loving it there at wests.

He gets paid a shit load of money and barely gets any attention or talked about anymore like he did when he was Parra.

but still less than you guys are paying Joffa....let that sink in.....

and IP seems happy. 192m including 84pcm, 41 tackles at 91% are stats of a man happy in his work. What a bargain.

Id reckon Our Eels would only be paying 1/3 of his 2023 season so average it out he would be cheaper than Ice. Sure Joffa was missing from Our Eels for 2/3ds of 2023 but looking at the table, we didnt really need him.
You sure it wasnt Joffa doing the media cat calls?

Can’t wait to see what you guys do with that cap space!

Not cheaper than Ice for that 1/3 of the season, or next season or the one after that...s.ee how it works? Lets revisit at the end of the season. You guys might think its a bargain to be paying more for Joffa than Ice.

I love Joffa, but financially its a good deal unfortunately.

Not his go.

That's like saying driving too fast is only dangerous if some merkin gets hurt.

It’s not just the stigma. Promiscuity inhibits your ability to form healthy long term relationships. While a young person might not give a f**k about that, they will likely hit an age where they do care, and by then they have entrenched some very unhealthy relationship behaviours.

Not for men, however it does impact Women's ability to pair bond.

Ice is melting, do you even climate change? You can have him now that he's been tainted with distemper, we need to keep the infection under control. He's quite possibly regretting the results of poor decision making but we've moved on.
