Rumours and Stuff

[lucablight]

to be fair we can only go off media reports, the club have not and will probably never publicly confirm their interest on the player.

It would be nice if the reports are incorrect. I’d like to think our club officials have more sense than that.

What is an issue is the double standards, Roosters apparently can sign Jennings on a trial and train deal after being convicted of unlawful sexual assault and fined accordingly. Scott is refused after serving time etc, Lodge is granted approval after conviction in the USA for Broncos.
That’s my issue, double standards in the NRL who would have thunk that.

The club shouldn't have gone near him when he was first signed after being sacked by Canberra. There were enough rumours then to suggest he shouldn't be in the NRL. I know the whole innocent to proven guilty stuff but we ended up looking like dicks.

Jennings never faced criminal charges. It was a civil matter. Still doesn't make it any better. There is a double standard however neither of them should be allowed near the NRL along with Scott. Thats the bigger double standard.

I believe it may be to the NSW Cup side....

He’s played one NSW Cup game in his life, though still eligible for Flegg next year so it’s too soon to write him off. I’m keen to see how much reserve grade he gets next year.

Not sure anyone has written him off at this point other than a few Pamfers followers.... he is most likely at this stage to be on a lower tier contract.

yeh, cuz people here never speak negatively about our coach

You have to admit but 11yrs and nothing to show for it is a long time. Has this happened in the history of rugby league?

My little birds tell me Morretti is training the house down. Big season ahead.

Especially a coach who has won a spoon at that club.

His my Smokey for a bench spot with Ofahangaue, Matterson, Greig and Morretti.
where does this leave the likes of Tuilagi, Cartwright? One of the 3 has too miss out unfortunately but my pick would be Tuilagi to miss out on a spot in the 17.

100% agree. Sadly the squeaky wheel gets the oil.
Im a huge fan of all 4 but my preference in order would be.
1. Pricey. Its no coincidence we have won sfa since he called quits. Immortal, Legend and almost a God. What a player.
2. Sterlo. Magician who definitely deserves to be an Immortal. Loved what he brought but I reckon Squizzy Taylor helped Sterlo a fair bit.
3. Kenny. That dummy try in Our Eels GF was enough apart from every other magnificent moment he provided.
4. Cronin. Maybe number 4 on my list but still an Immortal in my eyes. Just wish hed have kicked that goal in 1977.

My list is:
1. Price
2. Kenny
3. Cronin
4. Sterling
I've always felt Sterling was just a tiny bit overrated. I thought Steve Mortimer was better.

 

[lingard]

I don't have any sympathy for the bloke.

He had a chance not many young people get and have a first grade career on decent coin.

He pissed it away.

If we sign him well ill cop it. I don't agree with it but i suppose i wont be ropeable if it was someone like Matt Lodge.

I would imagine if the Roosters got Michael Jennings across the line for a train and trial deal the NRL would approve Scott to Parramatta.

But yet again we don't have Nick Politis we have the other Greek in Jim Sarantinos.

Alcoholics piss away a lot of things in their lives. Does that mean as a society we just banish them? No need for AA in that case.

Blasphemy!

Playing first grade rugby league is a privilege. Especially with the money there on.

They get more education about Drugs, Alcohol, financial advice and help with teritary education then the average Joe there age.

 

[lingard]

Any coach. I reckon you would have to go back to Monie to find someone who was universally liked. Even then that might be a long bow.

Not Gibson?

Just because you're an ex Eels halfback theres no need to be jealous.

If you're an alcoholic, education won't make a scrap of difference. And, yes, it is a privilege in one sense to be playing NRL. But it takes a high degree of self-discipline, dedication, focus, motivation, and extraordinarily hard work to get there in the first place.

Cartwright is currently our starting second rower. Tuilagi and Moretti may compete for the bench spot. Moretti seems to be seen as a middle now but can cover edge id need be. Tuilagi seems to be mainly edge but has the size to cover middle.

Mumble mumble ........ I was better than him ..... mumble mumble.
