Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

In 11 years under BA these are the best winning streaks we have had each season.

BA has had more contract extensions then 4 game winning streaks in his tenure.

So i cant see things changing all of sudden and going on a massive streak when its never been done.

2014 - 3 wins (Rd4 to Rd6) & (Rd20 to Rd22)
2015 - 3 wins (Rd14 to Rd17) 1 Bye in between 1st & 2nd win
2016 - 3 wins (Rd 2 to Rd 4) & (Rd 12 to Rd 15) - 1 Bye in between 1st & 2nd win
2017 - 6 wins (Rd15 to Rd 22) 2 byes came in that 6 week streak after the 1st & 3rd win of that streak and we lost to bottom placed Newcastle at home that finished the streak
2018 - 2 wins (Rd7 to Rd8) & (Rd21 to Rd22)
2019 - 4 wins (Rd19 to Rd22)
2020 - 5 wins (Rd1 to Rd 5) - Covid Break interrupted between Round 2 & Round 3
2021 - 5 wins (Rd6 to Rd10)
2022 - 3 wins (Rd3 to Rd5) & (Rd 23 to Rd25)
2023 - 5 wins (Rd12 to Rd17) - Bye after the 2nd win in that week.


If you look quite closely its damming actually that only twice we have managed to win 4 weeks in a row when byes haven't come into play in 11 years.

We cant play 4 solid straight weeks of consistent footy under BA unless we get a breather/bye in between to freshen up the squad.

I dont even look at that.

Everyone that has a brain between their ears knows you have to be one of the top defensive sides to win a competition our defense has not improved enough under BA at all..

I tipped us to win 5 or less. How long ago was that? @Bandwagon

How the f**k would I know, what am I your mum?

I’d be f**king infuriated if we haven’t made enquiries already. There’s still some question marks for me about what happened last year with him, but if he winds up at a Smugs or Scum and we we’re stuck with our thumb up our ass instead of doing due diligence…

What injury has Lane got? You can't just take them out the back of the grandstand and shoot them.

He’s a footballer? Just gaslight him into thinking he has CTE.

Well he’s a film star now. Get Alex Baldwin in his next doco.

As I said. Tell Lane and Sivo there is no place for them beyond this season. They are both marketable for sale.

Tell Paulo he is free to explore other deals. Sadly not sure the appeal of his at current salary.

Angus would look good in blue and gold!

And yet people complain about players showing no loyalty to clubs. It's a 2-way street.

As the players say, it’s a business…

What if you have great resources, but shit luck......what's the probability of winning a premiership???

I would like to see in in a pie chart

And it still won’t be BA’s fault

Nah - getting the team up for games is the sports psychologist's job, mate.

I'd re sign Simmonson. Twice the player of Russel. Give 110%
People will talk about his dumb things but I find they are generally at desperate times.
Against Brisbane for example just before halftime. Yes if he dummy's he gets pass Walsh but 90% of players pass in that situation. His dropped ball over the line was tough and when the game was shot he took on the line amd went into touch. Meant nothing by then.
Overall he is improving as a player. On form he is our best back and easily our fastest.

I agree.

I never got why people hate on him.

He makes some errors, but he gives 100%, and breaks plenty of tackles.

And he'd be our fastest back, with the possible exception of Moses.

I've been a huge fan of Angus Crighton for years, since his Bunnies days... I know he's having a bit of a renaissance season this year but I'd be looking elsewhere, or at the very least would be very wary of offering anything beyond 2 years and only if we were able to get Lane off our books at the same time....let's not forget, we're stuck with Lane because he too has a renaissance season in 2022 and we got sucked in hook line and sinker....
