Rumours and Stuff

But also, it’s too late to replace him with anything close to a similar talent for this year, no matter how much cap space they clear.

They could be open to it later in the season depending on how they’re going.

Moretti isn’t in the top 30 because he was happy with less than that. Momoisea earned his top 30 deal with his performances in NSW Cup and the NRL.

Just goes to show that you know sweet f**k all. I can state for a fact that Moretti wasn't happy and nearly left the club. The club has tried heaven and earth to move on your perfect back up but nobody would take him ? You know why? Because he's shit and the worst top 30 signing we have made since Murchie, another mediocre backup that you deep throated.

I reckon as a teenager you also fantasised about the last two dynamic duds we signed, Muckert and Muspratt.

Is that where this pattern of behaviour began?

Don't forget Steve Crouch! Can probably name most of our 2003 side as duds

Shayne Dunley was a gun

MA i bagged a little when I saw him in Flegg. He looks tiny and was dominated. He has come back however atleast 5kgs heavier. He needs another offseason and can maybe put 4 or 5 more kgs on but he is already a better/smarter hooker then our NRL starters in attack I reckon. He just needs to learn not to overplay his hand. He did it a few times in NSW cup last week going down the blind side to often. But the biggest thing is his defense. Can he handle it? I don't think right now. Maybe in 12mths....

I saw LYON coming thru. He was to good to hold back. I remember me and a mate and half the crowd just standing up everytime he got the ball in reserve grade. He would shred them.

Re Jamie Lyon, yep saw him come through. He didn’t spend too long in reserves. Was just too good.

 

[Jake the snake]

Wow Dunkley, Muckert, Muspratt. Please guys stop. Dark dark memories.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Merkin I was just trying to show the coact staff get it wrong ffs

Aren’t they getting rid of him? Hardly the wrong thing. It’s not up to the coaching staff to improve every player. Some players just don’t fit their style and can’t be helped. It’s a known risk.

As for Momoisea, it’s up to him to work out why he performed better in Newcastle. It’s not our problem.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We were hoping for Fuifui Moimoisea but instead got Jake Mamosea

Here’s my take on Momoisea before he arrived at the club. He was just a solid reserve grader. Now he’s not even that. Everyone knows Arthur’s is shit at developing forwards.

 

[Parra Pride]

How good was Lee te Maari? He tore that bike up.

 

[Gronk]

The Mole. Harper was signed for 1 year and his manager knows we are on the lookout for a strike centre.

Morgan Harper had a fine debut for the Eels last weekend, but has told mates he has been left disillusioned by events of the past week.

The former Sea Eagle has been put off by Parra's quest for Zac Lomax and its plan to play him in the centres.

The Dragons shut down any potential move for Lomax - at least for the time being - on Monday, but the damage is already done in Harper's head after a week of headlines

Not shit at developing them but some.have this idea he is amazing at developing forwards. That's bullshit. Some have come good and plenty have failed. Strike rate with bringing junior forwards thru in his 11 yrs is horrendous.
Plenty of players just leave clubs and come good. They need a change. End of story. BA is no forwards magician.

Well he would have been playing reserve grade but for Sivos errant tackling style. So if it’s true, tough titties Morg. But I think it’s bullshit. He was on the scrap heap and now he thinks he’s more valuable than Lomax? I doubt it.

IIRC he was on a plane to England if not for our offer ?

Exactly. He'd leave a huge hole in their backline.

Well it is our problem atm.

We have a wasted spot filled up in our top 30 atm with a player who has a shit attitude and can't even make the reserve grade side.

Its not even about the cap space.

Its a top 30 spot being wasted on a player that clearly wont play first grade again. That could be used for another player.

Winning premierships is a squad mentality from players 1 to 30.

If 30 ain't all on-board its hard to win it.

after a week of headlines

Come again?

 

[Gronk]

Come again?

Give me 20 mins FFS.

True. But whatever he has done with Bryce Cartwright is just astounding. I'd argue he has made Lane and Matterson much better forwards, too. But yeah, he's no magician.

Euphemism!

The Mole Pou has more correct calls than him!
