I can see why footy players would want to play in QLD. Cheaper cost of living, slower lifestyle and nicer weather.

The key is not to go there if you are a peanut. Too much temptation. But in Ben Hunt’s case I completely understand. At the moment he lives in a nice place around the corner from me. The sale of his home could acquire him a mansion on one of those canals or on acres in the hinterland.

Well I care a bit. I doubt he has learnt. The selection of some of these guys like Davey raise an eye brow.

To be fair no one cares what you think or I think that's why we are on these forums.

I was against the Davey signing but you know what he plays for the Eels and gets my full support like every other Eels player for the past 40 years. Maybe apart from 1 player

Yep agree with this he is 34 this sets him up nicely. Just with it wasn't at the Bronco's though.


You see the Eels players taking photos at the beach today while it's freezing here!

So you're saying he walked away from a guaranteed $800K for one years of football and signed with us for way less then $800K over 2 years of football?
What the actual f**k are you on about you silly merkin? I haven't said anything about how much he was or is on. We just don't know. Canberra said nothing about it when they announced his last contract with them ENDED IN 2022 FFS!!! He didn't walk away from a guaranteed anything.

You didn’t say a figure but when someone suggests a price and provides a source you put shit on it.

Why the hell are people still talking about JA he did he job and now is Manlys problem.
Most people agree he is an NRL quality backup this year. Merkins are arguing that Hands should've been on the bench last year instead of Arthur, based on his form this year.
We have a better option in Asi now for the next 2 seasons let's concentrate on him hey.
We already had Asi in the squad. Jake Arthur wasn't keeping him out of the team.

Something has to be done about that kind of deal. Bad for the game.
The Broncos also managed to lure Taupau to Queensland despite offers from Sydney clubs. They have massive recruitment/retention advantages. It's criminal that they were out of the finals so long, but still good to see.

Dear @hindy111

Where are you little buddy? I miss you terribly and want you back. This place definitely is not the same without you. I have given you your space, but enough is enough. I need you. I want you back. I promise I won't ask you where you have been or who you have been spending your time with? Just come back!

I hope you have been looking after yourself and you are doing well and have had a nice and relaxing vacation away from here and me. :( I know I did when I stepped away for a while, but your absence has been deeply felt and the void desperately unbearable. I don't know how I will continue on like this or cope. Life's just not the same anymore.

Hindy I beg of you please, you must come back to me! This is not how life should be. A Hindyless forum doesn't bear thinking about. Your always in my thoughts and I wish only the best for you.

But enough is enough, you must come home!!!

Love
Your Fellow Bonesman In Arms

Seibold should be an NRL hall of fame already for his time at Brisbane.

If he wins a spoon with Manly he should get Immortal status.

Ffs Hands could not even displace Rein from the NSW cup starting hooker last year!

Anyone once again who cares its done Handsy is going well at Hooker this year and Asi is making the 6 his at the moment
