Rumours and Stuff

[hindy111]

I don't think we gave him any offer.

I suspect at the point when Waqa was dropped to reserve grade mid-year, the conversation that he wasn't in our future plans was most likely had.

He was only costing us $250k according to some.
I have to say I was excited when we signed him. He is up there with the biggest flops we've ever had. Actually considering we took on a 4.5yr contract and also helped a side reach 4 grand finals and win 3 by doing so I would say biggest f**k up ever.

 

[hindy111]

Isn't Suuali on around 700k?

I highly doubt it. My point but is their squad isn't that great. I mean sure it's good but not many 1 million dollar players.
Will they be better next season? Teddy and JWH a year older. Keary forms dropping off.
Crightons playing like a 300k forward.
Not convinced.

AFB isn't worth the money imo. To big a risk. Will cost 1mill.

I don't like this bullshit clause btw. This isn't fair to the Warriors side. Perhaps they keep Curran for example or chased another prop like Flegger early on. It stinks

Has form as well.

He broke a contract to get out of Manly.

You start burning too many clubs no matter who they are leaves a sour taste.

 

[Incorrect]

I’d be immediately offering Paulo for him.

I doubt there's much point. I reckon a deal with another club has probably already been lined up...

If it’s the Dogs we will get JAC.

So sad. RIP Bob Bugden...One of my first heroes at the Eels.
Bobby had a great combination with Leo Toohey (5/8) and Kenny Thornett.
He followed his Dragons' coach and captain Ken Kearney to Parramatta where he played a further four seasons, (1962 - 1965) often as vice-captain.
The little halfback gave great service for the Parramatta club, playing in the team that defeated South Africa in 1963
Bobby made his state representative debut in 1960 and again represented for NSW from the Parramatta club in 1964. In Bugden's representative career he was vying against the incumbent national half-back, Queenslander Barry Muir, who was generally preferred by selectors. At the latter end of his career Arthur Summons was the Test half.
Bobby was picked for the 1959 Kangaroo tour and played in five tour matches but no tests
. He was selected in the 1960 World Cup squad and although he did not play in any tournament matches, made two tour match appearances for Australia after the World Cup.
Bobby made his Test debut in the 1960 domestic series against France for the 2nd Test in Brisbane. He scored three tries on debut in Australia's 56-6 routing of France and backed up for the 3rd Test where he again crossed for a try.
Post rugby league , Bobby worked in the club and hotel industry before real estate sales
Bob Bugden's NSWRL first grade career spanned 12 seasons and played 209 games for St George and Parramatta
He also played 11 representative games for Metropolis, NSW Colts, NSW City Seconds,
NSW Firsts, NSW City Firsts and Australia
* When Bobby joined the Club,...Second picture - Congratulating Mike Jackson scoring the try that toppled StGeorge at the Sports Ground 5-2 in 1964. Bob kicked the conversion from the sideline..(can remember it like yesterday)
I also recall the semifinal at SCG in 1963, when Bob took a penalty shot for goal - it bounced off the posts and Ron Lynch backing up, pounced on the ball and scored under the posts to give Parramatta its FIRST EVER semi-final win, 9-7, over Balmain Tigers

 

[Eelogical]

I remember a few of those Wests players too, Noel Kelly was a hard head so too Peter Diamond

Like all those other players who demanded we let them break contract to go elsewhere?

nah like these Parra players

Looks like exactly the kinda bloke Parra would sign. Would slot into the kulcha seamlessly.

Addin Fonua-Blake wants to prove he's a better man than his record

Addin Fonua-Blake knows he has take 'ownership' of the despicable act of domestic violence.

Actually we let him go as a junior for being a shitbag. So you’re wrong.

Jeezus!!! When you get let go from the club that signed Auva'a and Edwards after pleading guilty of DV, for being a shit bag, you know you need to reassess.

When he committed his violent act while contracted to the club.

We also got rid of Edwards and Hayne. Auva’a served his time.

Not like you to use weasel words Pou.....

Kenny Edwards played 27 first grade games for Parra after pleading guilty to bashing a woman. That was no problem for Parra, they were quite happy with that. Parra couldnt cop Edwards running from the cops and sacked him for that eighteen months after he bashed a woman. Parra signed Auva'a after he pleaded guilty to domestic violence, again, Parra had no problem with it.

AFB left Parra to go play with Dragons. He was contracted to Dragons when he committed his violent act.

Would you do a swap with Papali'i.

Papali'i goes back home to the warriors. And Tigers get AFB.
