Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Let’s not pretend Luai isn’t a real player and most teams would love to have him. All the good players are easy to hate, same as successful team.

Nah he's knob.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I wonder if Stefano knows the meaning of irony

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We gave him his debut but wouldn’t pay him as much as Payne Haas so he whinged to the media. Now he thinks it’s a bad idea.

$260K pa.....but yeah Payne Haas money is the reason.

Stef asked to be released so he could debut with Tigers but Parra said no. The three games he played for Parra, he was wishing he was at his spiritual home, the Tigers.

Just keep making shit up to suit your argument.

 

[hineyrulz]

Emu at around 250-300k is much better value.

Over 3 years = $260Kpa

He wasn't making that up.

Nah, he wanted to finish 4th last, last then last again. It's easy being a prop at the tigers, minimal effort means you stand out amongst the others.

Showed the mental toughness and professionalism of a Tiger in those 3 games

 

[King-Gutho94]

I looked at the 3 most recent forwards to have played for Parra and the Tigers.

Must be hard to turn the Kulcha around. Normally players leave Parra for Greener pastures and have success.

Papali'i win rate is 47% better at Parra then the Tigers (64% at Parra, 17% at Tigers)
Stefano's win rate is 45% better at Parra then the Tigers. (67% at Parra, 22% at Tigers)
Joffa's win rate is 30% better at Parra then the Tigers. (55% at Parra, 25% at Tigers)

Imagine you returned my calls as quickly as my posts.

Well considering Stef debut at Parramatta was so important to Parra and Parra fans its worth remembering that his debut in the NRL, that his whole family came to and was no doubt excited..........BA put him on 1minute to go. He and his family must have been so happy. Really shitty thing to do and no doubt in response to him signing with the Tigers (but still wouldnt release him). he got 10mins and 13mins in his next two games.

Shows the pettiness and small mindedness of BA IMO.

Some of us still havent forgotten Mitchell Moses last game as a Tiger after the Tigers refused his request for a release.

M Moses - 80mins - 2 runs - 6 run metres - 0 PTB - 9missed tackles showing the mental toughness and professionalism that would stand him in good stead for his future employer and future teammate in Ryan Matterson.

Stats are funny....

You guys have been regular finalists until you got Joffa...

We all realise the Tigpies forum is a wasteland, wouldn’t it be a good idea if you stirred up enough interest to get them interested in your opinions. Most of what is seen is the Tigpies toothless complaining about Moses and Matto and making really crazy offers to players. Well, at least your COE has a barbers chair, now that’s something to talk about .

you really know how to make a merkin feel wanted Del

 

[eels_fan]

Wouldn't it be McKeon?

5 golds (most for a swimmer)
11 medals altogether (most for any Aussie)

Nope, only 2 Gold. Comm games don’t count - you’re not racing the best

Meh I’m not the one claiming Stefano is a saint. He tried to hold us to ransom and we decided not to play. If you reckon BA playing someone for very small game time is just around players signing elsewhere, you don’t watch many of our games.
