Rumours and Stuff

[the phantom menace]

A month ago they only hit 24. What’s changed?

We've turned to shit - haven't you been watching?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

The thing is, our coach has overseen this sort of loss more than any other coach.

Have a look at Penrith 2012 under Cleary.

Yeah they were pretty f**king shit that year, whatever team finished behind them must have been a special kind of basket case.

Yeh, I'm not sure that was my point.....

I Would love to see the club offload Sivo and go for Turuva next year.

we still need 2 second rowers in 24/25

No disrespect intended, but I'd be happy if we let Gutho go and signed Turuva and kept the change.

Turuva has that acceleration that Guth has lost. And who knows what kind of impact either Turuva or Lomax might have at FB?

I get what your point is, I just think it’s a poor one as Brad Arthur has two wooden spoons since then as a head coach, while Cleary has now taken the Panthers to three premierships in a row. You can forgive the poor earlier years if success comes around, success hasn’t come around for us.

I would like to think that boning Arthur may assist in offloading some players which may allows us to sign/poach some younger forwards and outside backs.

i would be looking to offload:
- Lane
- Matterson
- Sivo
- Paulo or RCG

I have little knowledge of players available but it would be nice to replace with:
- promote 1 junior 2nd rower
- promote 1 junior winger/back
- a strong/fast back (not rep level but say Penisini level
- a young aggressive prop/2nd rower

on top of that we would need work on guys like moretti, doorey and Greig or swap them out for similar salary players who may be toilers but can play 35 minutes a game - nothing fancy, just have a bit of ticker. guys who love the game. Ray Stone types.

BA only has 1 spoon doesn't he? 2018? I guess 2012..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's under contract twit.

Some dopey media head reading something about round six for poaching youngsters and thinking that’s when their contracts end.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This. Some of our fans were berating his selection. They just don’t understand rugby league like you and me. And Pou, he also liked Ofahengaue

I agree with you agreeing with me.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I wish we never got rid of Joffa, having said that I dont see where he fits into our current pack and I probably wouldnt pick him, but one thing you could never question with Joffa is whether he is putting in.

He has been starting games, and that’s not when we’ve been poor.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’ve noted in most games, halftime is our enemy, because whatever Brad says has the opposite effect, and go backwards at a rate of knots…..it’s so obvious they are sick of listening to monotone Brad

Lucky he doesn’t talk to them before games

2013, I wasn’t counting 2012 against him.

That was Ricky

Tyson Jackson. Recent former Bulldogs lower grader. He knows how it works.

 

[Parra Pride]

Yeah, I don’t know why I remembered it as BA but it hit me as I posted that. The rest of the point still stands though, bad BA years have never been rewarded with any kind of success.

 

[JokerEel]

I still point the finger more to O'Neil and Rogers..

 

[The Predictor]

What’s the point, what I said is absolutely factual, but u disagree for fun, u are a tool, and a huge negative impact on people……just WOW
