Rumours and Stuff

So is it definite we are getting this hyphenated fellow?

I'm tipping likely.

Will it be for the Saints game?

I'm tipping unlikely. Maybe AMS will get a sneaky call up.

We'd have to get special dispensation from the NRL cos he's not named Tuesday.

Dear NRL,

Lumelume is shit. Do we really have to pick him ?

Signed Eels.

I hope so - the more the merrier! And it would be nice if it is, as we still look weak out wide.

Don't oversimplify a quantitative argument to some pointless qualitative comparison. Yes supply and demand matter, but the market for NRL players is very different to the market for bread and milk. If there is ever a temporary undersupply of groceries, the market will rapidly respond with an increase in supply before any merkin has to get into a bidding war for f**king toilet paper. That same capacity to increase supply doesn't exist for professional rugby league players. This is why I was able to describe how the two markets are different despite your insistence that they are exactly the same.

I'll add to that... Is it fair that a minimum wage worker in a remote community has to pay $15 for a loaf of bread, while someone in Sydney can buy a loaf for $4? The two biggest and probably only reasons for a salary cap is to make sure clubs don't go broke but also to even the comp out. Having clubs pay overs to players because they are all that's left definitely doesn't even the comp out

I never buy Coles or Woolworths milk.

Why ? Because I support Australian farmers and not big business which screws our farmers

The same applies to loaves of bread, Coles (which is pre-mixed in China and sent over only to be heated in an oven, yet Coles will tell you it's baked in the store, which it is), or Aussie bread which is made completely in Oz.

good analogy, or not ?

Pending in taste I buy whatever is cheapest. But good on you for supporting locals. You will never be a powerfull millionaire like myself.
f**kjng rabbit.

 

[hindy111]

So let me get this straight. When you call out the club it's valid criticism and when I do, it's an excuse ?

= knob.

That's 100% correct.

You are KNOB.

there's a pothead?

Its a simple game for simple people. There are sfa quality halfbacks and therefore your merkins and my merkins engaged in a bidding war for that Moses merkin and as a result you guys paid less than we offered, but more that you had offered and for longer. QED.

No doubt you are going to obfuscate arguing both ways with an Aldi example, but keep in mind that your original argument was in response to my post, with a photo of Merkin Moses, making the point I have above. QED.

What happened to the great and powerful Zac Cini?

Right, which is completely different from the market for bread and milk. I don't know why you are arguing otherwise.

Because you are wrong. It’s simple supply and demand in a supermarket and NRL. I would say I don’t know how you would argue it’s not but I know that being correct is not a high priority for you

Can you shove the Bread and milk up your arse and talk footy ? This is torture!

I already showed you that supply and demand don’t have the same effect on the two markets. Nobody gets into a bidding war for loaves of bread because supply is adaptive in a way that it isn’t for NRL players.

I will when you stop assuming clubs can just go out and buy whichever players they need, as soon as they need them. It’s like you think any club that doesn’t have a premiership grade roster at all times is somehow poorly managed.

I am assuming no one on here is part of the 9% who have snapped up GF tickets.

Apprantley parramatta members are the 3rd highest ranked members when it came to snapping GF tickets that went on sale this week.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So, you admit it, you bought milk and bread into the conversation.

Why would I deny it? It provides a great contrast to the market for NRL players.

The whole fanbase suffers from Stockholm syndrome.

 

[Stagger eel]

I know a couple of members who go every year because they just love the event for what it is..

there are also others who make a killing from fans at other clubs who do make it.

personally, I tap out the moment after our last game.
