Rumours and Stuff

Jeral Skelton. The rugby union convert scored a try for the Bulldogs, got three linebreaks, 12 tackle busts and ran for 262 metres.
Sharks winger Sam Stonestreet was unstoppable for the Jets with two tries, two linebreaks, seven tackle busts and 242 running metres.

Not hard to find backs dominating Cup that would do a job in NRL
No need to overspend on Talagi.

Taafe and Tracey are at their peak and will never be stars. Talagi certainly could be.

Lol Taaffe is only 25...Treacy 27.
We could certainly do with either or both..
They both bring lots of energy and have a go...I don't mind that. Remember not everyone can be a star but they are capable and solid first graders. Taaffe has also played in a GF.

Damn small club Roosters didn’t have the resources to lure over Gagai from the powerhouse Knights

Yep ….Cini 172 m, 7 TB and Lumelume 190 m, 5 TB in their last game…..and we know how highly we rate them..

I don't think Stonestreet and Skelton are in the same ballpark as Cini and Lume.

Definitely peak for outside backs. Taafe probably hasn’t peaked as a playmaker but he lacks physicality and it won’t be improving after 25.

Not quite the same numbers and these players are highly regarded by their fans.
The main point is that there is no need to let Talagis manager bend us over.

If Talangi took up the player option he would have been off contract for 2026 in November anyway. There’s every chance we are preparing a longer contract and the whole going to market is a media beat up. ( also a good chance we are fiddling with our dicks while the Roosters make an offer too).

That's great if we are but why has the club allowed it to get this far?

I will say we have offered him a new contract but low balled the hell out of him so now he is going to go out to market


But guys the club has done the right thing

Sitting pretty mid table

Yeah Lume is a gun, played in a final for the Storm ffs!!

I love how everyone guesses what has happened and it is never positive.

How old is Gagai now.

Unless the chooks put a maroon jersey on him he is overrated at club level.

Just like Nate Myles and Third man In Sam Thaiday.

Those are blokes who are men possessed for QLD but never did anything noteworthy at club level.

When does the club do anything positive though hence why most of the posts have been negative

Signing Lomax, releasing Moimoisea, Rodwell, and Tuvaiti (sp), not matching Raiders offer for Sanders - that's just some recent positives in our recruitment and retention, or do you think we should have kept those 4 and not signed Lomax?

Let's pretend those signings never happened...

Plus you just pointed out everything that's f**ked up with the club..

Lomax was a signing out of luck

Sanders Should have been on a contract till at least 21.

Yeah real positives..

What are we coming in first grade again?

 

[King-Gutho94]

We're twelfth?

I thought we were last!

I'm going to chuck a sickie, and party like it's 1986!

No need to panic

Laney said yesterday its laughable that people write teams off after 8 games.

Matto said we are 1 win out of the top 8 and playing tough footy atm.

The players have it all under control.

Tough footy teams let in 8 tries in 25 mins. The whole club are deluded. They are high on their own farts.

 

[JokerEel]

Let's continue on the amazing positives

Club knew Guthos had shit knees so instead of having a backup consistently playing in CUP ready to come in they play his replacement at centre and 5/8 played what 2 games at fullback.

Sanders and Asi should have been the direct replacement for Moses but yeah we know how we positively f**ked this up..

Hands playing at 6 in cup if you are using MA at hooker use him in first grade ffs at 14...


Positives guys

Positives guys

It doesn’t matter where they play, coaching doesn’t matter and winning doesn’t matter. As long as Bea Arthur gets an extension and the board members have a good time at the footy that’s the main thing. Who wants a competitive team to follow……..
