Rumours and Stuff

[hindy111]

Watching animal fights on Youtube (honey badger v lion is good), Fawlty Towers, the joke about the young lady who went fishing with 12 blokes, the way chalk doesn't taste like cheese, Boxhead, the Fitzroy Hotel, Jonny Vegas, why you don't find white dog shit anymore, the fact that Peter Dutton is allowed to speak in public, farting, and some other things.

I like watching people fall over and hurting themselves. I find it quite amusing.

At least we would be in a strong position to negotiate. They want him off the books so might pay a good chunk and we have 3 positions open on the roster now.
Would depend how he is physically but could be a good bargain buy.

I couldn’t imagine Ken being on more than $300k given his history and he’d already been paid half it. Could probably nab him for well under $200k for this year and he can try and prove himself worthy of another year

Tbh, I don't know why he put Talagi in First Grade - the kid is not ready for First Grade.

Yeh, that's fair enough. There were plenty here who wanted him to continue in first grade after his debut.

 

[Soto]

He seemed tentative. Looks quick on his feet but defensively lacking at this stage.
I think will make it as a long term 1st grader. Sometimes you need accept that although you think you might be ready you're not. He will be a good player no doubt.

I think he's a very talented kid, but he's clearly not ready for the pace, and physicality, of First Grade.

He scored a cracking try on debut, but his defence has been very poor.

He scored a pretty good try in a game we won by four points. He missed a couple of tackles that day but nothing too bad.

Yes, I wasn't one of those who thought he should stay in first grade, but I understand why they gave it one more shot. The issue is that Asi's defence is not that much better.

All our players are injured ffs

Here’s hoping we have enough tape to go around.

 

[Gronk]

When do we have to have 30 players by?

I don’t think we even adhered to that rule last year.

That's an impressive list, mate. Myself, I like fights between cats and mice. Those mice are ferocious little things. And I like reading Braille editions of classic novels, even though I don't understand all those dots.

Ken Maumauloooooo???? Really? Shows how bad we are going he has been pretty dogshit for a long time. We may as well gotten @Tiger5150 favourite player back from England.

Couldnt make the tigers side who were winning spoons and now cant make a bog ordinary GC side.

I think that's a giveaway Ken is no good and over the hill.

 

[TheRam]

Leaving the Jennings issue aside, Robbo seems to be slowly losing it. Thinking Dom Young shouldn’t have been sent off is one example.

Now that he has a weaker roster and is losing all his character flaws and weaknesses are slowly coming through.

He can't just sit there like he normally does from up high on his smug winner perch and dribble away like he usually does about this and that and the Roosters way. AH YUCK!!!! It makes me so sick listening to him pontificate all the time like he is some grate orator of life and the roosters are the bees knees of football clubs. I want to throw up! He just doesn't come off genuine to me. Just calculating and manipulating marketing for himself and or the club.

Which is what I said about a year ago when people called for us to replace BA with Robbo.

With the roster he has had over the years, he should have been doing much better in my ever so humble opinion.

Look what the cat dragged in...

Would rather Ken sio tbh

Sounds Perfect. Given Mommamia was stolen from us we can use his money.

 

[Glenneel]

No idea what money we have but a guy I'd like to go after who has a get out clause is David Fafita.
750k-800k lands him. I assume Matterson would be on the 600-650k mark while Lane would I assume be on over 500k. Remember he signed his deal after his bumper form in 2022.
We need a game breaker out wide. A barnstorming 2nd rower is something we lack. Id rather him then Lomax tbh. By 2025 Blaize will be closer to ready. We'd only have to find a winger to upgrade on Simmons then.

No, no no!!! Lazy Davy is aptly named and I'd think a polarising figure as gets away with doing the absolute minimum at training. I know because I've been to their training sessions.

And what does he do in the games he plays to earn the huge salary he is on? On that salary he should be scoring or setting up a try close to every game. Has he done either yet this season? Doubt it.

 

[Glenneel]

I'd take him...left winger and simo becomes left centre. Puts even more pressure on Sivo to aim up or pi$s off

MAUMALO’S TITANIC BLOW

Former Kiwi Test winger Ken Maumalo is fighting to save his NRL career after being told he is free to leave the Titans.

Maumalo is contracted to the Titans until the end of next season but has been given permission to negotiate with rival clubs.

Still only 29, the former Warriors and Wests Tigers winger has played 135 games across eight seasons of NRL and is determined not to retire, with Maumalo adamant he has more to offer.

“Unfortunately Ken is surplus to requirements at the Titans and not getting a run,” said his agent Dixon McIver.

“It’s pretty hard on Ken, he is playing some good Queensland Cup footy for the Ipswich Jets.

“I believe he should be playing for the Titans, but he can’t force his way into their side.

“When he had a knee injury at the Tigers, everybody thought he was lame, but since the operation, he is fine and playing good football.

“We’ve been given permission to look around, so hopefully we can find another club because Ken loves playing the game and would be an asset with his experience.”

Always liked him when at Warriors. Is a huge man and bigger than most forwards. Worth a decent look imo.
