Rumours and Stuff

Any suggestions for places to eat lunch near Commbank? Going to the game this weekend, and want to get something to eat during the NRLW game.

I have been working for 35 plus years now and I have learnt a few things in that time. particularly when a person or persons leave on not so amicable a footing and that is there are three sides to a story. Theirs, yours and the truth and very rarely is anyone not the hero in their own story.

What annoys me is that he made out that he owes us everything for the opportunity but has since bagged the club all be it in a private setting to a well known podcaster.

He easily has the most mediocre results of any coach in a decade long period in world sport and left the club in a worse state than when he arrived.

El Jannah is inside the stadium.

I recommend that personally.

If your after a pub meal well the Oak is better then the dump they call the Rose"n"Crown now.

But the oak gets packed before the game.

Leagues Club & Club Parramatta are typical club bistro menus.

They do have food outlet vans outside the ground near O'Connell street buts its only like Chips on a stick and maybe Mr Whippy.

Well, I don't recall anyone bagging BA either, except for social media posts ......definitely nothing in media....it's all rumours....but there has always been talk about Bennett and those who had issues with him:

anyhow my point, NRL coaches will always end up with players/staff who had issues with him, it's the business. BA is no different.

Fui Fui's book wasn't kind on BA.

Fui was more complementary on Ricky then BA which is saying something considering 2013 was a shithole of a season.

How disrespectful.

 

[Gronk]

How disrespectful.

I love the NRLW. I think they play nice tough footy. I am really looking forward to seeing it live.

Are they going to keep Kasey Badger out of the bunker this week.

Not too sure if it's the same setup at the bigger venues, but at our nrlw game on the weekend the bunker was just a little van in the carpark that she was making the calls from

If we sign Wilson, there is no guarantee that he will start for us right? I think our backline will end up looking like:
1. Iongi
2. Lomax
3. Penisini
4. Gutho
5. Simonssen

With Russell and Wilson as backups.

Wilson won’t be a backup he is class. Simonsen won’t start the season he is coming back from an ACL.

Rarrly do you have everyone fit and available anyway or so it seems.

Correct I saw her walking in and out of the venue.

She was limping but I swear it was nothing to do with me

He poisoned the well on his way out, after the club setting him and his family up for life.

Some of the stuff that is coming out about him now says to me he’s anything but a great bloke. Plus the media think he’s aces, that says to me he’s not.

He loves the club and bleeds blue and gold, more like he loved what the club could do for him and his family. Leeds is not far away enough from the club as far as I’m concerned.

She should be kept out of the NRL, Belinda Sharpe is a much better ref.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Justin Poore....was passed it

I've been think it may have been Murchie?

 

[Legal Eel]

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if people who don't know people (or much about football?) might attempt to correct you.... LOL.

I don't know who you know, but there might be people I know who may or may not be very significant, and who indicate the same things

Over to you Gronk and Pou…

 

[richo 74]

So who was the forward that Mannah said was low balled with an offer one third of his value?
Apparently the club increased their offer eventually but the player was so pis*ed off he left anyway.
Any ideas who?

My guess was Manu Ma'u

 

[JokerEel]

I took notice of that and then reflected on the two examples he used - Jenko and Fergo. He said they love the Roosters and always speak glowing of them. Could not put my finger on why ...

View attachment 93130

Yeah good point mate Those poor Roosters

 

[JokerEel]

A winger doesn't average 19 runs a game no matter what side they are in, if they don't get involved with rucking it out consistently.....

And his 2023 stats when dogs were going poorly also show his involvement - 13 runs / 131 m / 4.3 tb. It was his rookie year, and while he was making more metres per run.

He will be a good addition. Definitely what we need, potential, goes ok, gives us more depth.

Hopefully we sign him and he kills it next season

Fui has a book???

Here is a question if we didn't have cap issues (cheated )and BA was talked up as the savior would he have lasted as long with the same results?

I would say he would have been fired after 18
