Rumours and Stuff

Was there TCT involvement at the Club yesterday. I must say Ive fallen well behind on their pods etc so I may have missed it but I didnt see anything as I usually do. I noticed the big screens advertised an after match function after the game in Jacks but no mention of TCT? Hopefully alls good there.

That’s cos they are in the Bistro.

You reckon they get free lemon meringues?

TBH I have not even been in the club for maybe 15 years.

The Boooooooooooooooods show.

It’s because you’re not a westy gambler.

If Cheika get the gig we end up with Adam Doueihi.

If Ryles gets the gig I reckon we end up with Brandon Smith.

If Josh Hannay gets the gig I reckon we end up with Royce Hunt and Sam Stonestreet.

Can't be any worse in our backline than Asi / Harper / Russell tbh.

I'd take Royce Hunt... but the others? Meh.

Will anyone bring a 6? I keep hearing Brown will be off to the Warriors sooner rather than later.

Warriors have about 50 halves on alot less than Brown too they couldn't be so dumb to blow Thier cap on him..

Rumour from the angry podcast. Won’t be taking up his option for 2026.

Yawn.

I’d take Metcalf if that happens or develop Josh Lynn. Brown has similar peanut qualities to Brandon Smith. Sydney is not for them.

 

[the phantom menace]

I reckon he'd take unders to leave Sydney, less than his player option(s) with us? The property market here is crazy, and it'd be a chance to really "reset" his lifestyle elsewhere, post Golden Sheaf incident.

You'd hope we'd use that chance if it comes to organise to gain some promising player from Warriors in the transaction, either a 6 or a 1 (assuming Gutho will be medically cooked by then).

Pre game one with Michael buettner.

Ta. Obviously my fault. Ive gone off some poddys recently. Ta.

If Brown leaves in 2026 I can see Blaize coming full circle from Halves in Juniors to centre - wing - fullback back to 5/8.

It's a possibility. Would need to get his front line defence in shape before 2026 though, if he were to ever be a first choice NRL five eighth (or centre).

Good call.

I agree defence should be the new coaches main priority next year if you don't work on it go play in CUP..

 

[JokerEel]

BTW heard some Merkin on the radio last night say they thought no Gutho would make an ok dummy half..

FFS they have to stop reading these forums!

 

[Avenger]

I think Gutherson may be cooked. He is also on $950k next year. I’d be going to the UK if I was him. Whatever happens I think next season could be his last.
