I was joking buddy. As if they wouldn’t take that? Especially with MON negotiating fir us to pay $800k of his $950k contract to play the powerhouse that is Cronulla with their ready made Bunnings grandstand. That’s what you have to do when you are a second tier club.

That’s why we missed out on Farnworth and bought Morgan Harper.

And

Our success is based on winning regular games. Winning a comp, doesn’t matter.

It’s all very exciting.

That’s basically a summary of this weeks pile of horse shit brought to you by the one and only twisted one.
More bullying, thats a Paddlin!!



Best post i've read in a while in fact.

I wouldn't be so quick to run Paulo out of town.
He was predictably poor last season. My greatest concern is he dosent appear be be aware of this and make his $950 commitment to Our Eels a priority moving forward. This is one of our captains mind you.
Our season has been over a few weeks now and looking at his recent boxing training pics, he looks fitter than at any stage last season. Go figure.

Maybe he was struggling with injury, who knows. The whole team was poor last season. What I do know is that at his best he is one of the best middles in the game. If we move him on we are going to be paying a good amount of his salary. There's no way I'd want to be paying 400k a season for him to be playing for the Roosters for example.

Agree....looks very fit.
Mind you knowing he can earn truckloads post footy he's probably give it a massive crack now. Gallen earned bucketloads and no reason the current crop NAS, TPJ, Tamololo, Paulo etc can't either. However I'm thinking wouldn't these blokes eventually have to fight each other to become Aus champ, pan pacific champ, Oceania champ, north east south west champ, down under champ...the list goes on

Cricket rule change suggestion: since the batsman now do reverse sweeps etc - I think there needs to be a rule change to allow fielders to change positions during the bowlers run up. Maybe up to 2 fielders (one on each side of the pitch) should be allowed to change where they are fielding. That would be a cool change.
That dog shit Root was doing during the Ashes was the final straw for me. During the run up the fine leg could sprint across to a deep slip position.

Well if that's the case he was a bit busted with injury why do boxing and then play for Samoa in a pointless 3 week tournament.

Are they all busted with injury during the season? Some worse than others?? I still think Paulos got what it takes, not giving up on him yet.

I am not giving up on him.

I just preferred he put the club first this off-season and gave himself a break.

Does he really need to play for Samoa.

He will have played 60+ games since start of the last year by the end of Pacific Championships. That's includes Origins, Tests, Finals and Grand finals.

That's a shit load of games for a front rower who does the tough stuff for 45-55 mins every game.

I think that part of reason Paulo's form dropped this year the petrol tank is low needs a spell.
