Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

Just love our club just reminds me when we had Hands playing 5/8 in CUP to prepare him for playing hooker in first grade....

 

[Gazzamatta]

Unnecessary comment and well past its use by date

But are they?

 

[MarkInTheStands]

. . . . and before anyone asks, I am a Kookaburra of the Bule and Brown variety.

Last I checked we had Mick Delroy and Luke Lewis as NRL premiership winners from our club.

For anyone who though Matt Arthur would be ready in 2025 after another full off-season, do you think the same might be true for Ryley Smith or Meni Luke?
I haven't seen enough of either to know.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Wasn't the rumour that we signed Bronson Garlick for 3 years?

Some on here think Brendan Hands is just an average utility.

 

[Happy MEel]

As an alternative to Lussick this year, yes. As a long term solution, no.

Spot on. Hands is a first grader but we need two decent hooker options. At the moment we only have one, so he needs to play 80.

I've like the look of Luke that I have seen for the last two weeks.

I just wouldn't let him go if we think he's our next 9. He signed a contract to the club, we should make him see it out unless we sign a replacement.

I agree with that but nor would I keep him if he’s just going to mope. It’s all been horribly mishandled of course

…and clearly there would not have been any ulterior motive behind that.

I legitimately hope that the people who were cheering on the board and were fine with the way the club handled BA’s sacking are happy now

 

[84 Baby]

Oh boo hoo!! Their club and the Arthur family were put ahead of what was best for the Parra Eels.

Deny it all you like.

Yeah but the continued berating of it given BA is no longer here is how we wind up with Blacktown being a feeder for Manly, or Hills players heading to Souths.
Fix the pathways sure but don’t throw the baby out. There’ll be decent players from the Rhinos in the future

I’m ecstatic about that part. Even more so with how BA and his family have conducted themselves since. Rotten to the core.

Thanks. You are part of the problem then. At least you admit to it

 

[Avenger]

Probably should have had a quick Google..

No chance to follow his Dad..

Why Nathan Cleary was never going to Wests Tigers

Thankfully, for Tigers fans, Luke Brooks signed a long-term deal because Nathan Cleary says he was never going to make the switch to Leichhardt - and Ivan knew.

Different type of young man. Loyalty and no entitlement.

 

[84 Baby]

We will end up with a hack no other club wants...

Braileys are probably on that list they are crap before anyone says we should go for one of them...

Not saying we should but people also said Wayde Egan was crap

TBF I don’t think they were ever cheering on the board either

Also Brad Arthur has been nothing but class since he was knifed in the back

Yep, and keeping BA was obviously the solution. I think anyone on here with an ounce of footy nous knows who the problem is.

Never said that he was the solution you twat. Just said that the club could have handled it better than literally knifing him in the back. Promising him his job was safe with them while looking for someone else behind his back and then telling him he was no longer wanted is deplorable behavior
