Rumours and Stuff

I'd take Bird at centre over Taka who could slot into the backrow or interchange

Burd reminds me of wade Graheme with a step?? Not sure his best position.

That's not a bad comparison but he's definitely quicker and more agile than Graham so I think centre is his best position.

If their salaries were the same then sure, I think most people would. However, I'd say Bird would cost at least twice as much and I don't think we'd get the value from the added expense.

Do I remember correctly we were very close to signing Taumololo about 5 years back??? Maybe SK or even Daniel Anderson tried to get him. Anyone else recall this?

Im pretty sure we tried to do the sign the younger brother thing with toumulolu

Whats the different with a sure and a pretty sure strider?
Just wondering?

 

[Gary Gutful]

I'm pretty sure that the difference is down to the degree to which one is sure.

 

[strider]

No. It means i'm good looking and i'm sure

Sky News are saying that the NRL are close to ratifying a takeover deal of the Titans by North Sydney Bears. The deal would have them change colours and emblem. Woukd also mean they play 3 games a year at North Sydney Oval.

I had to look to see if it was April 1st to be honest.

Thats huge news if true.

It has always been Jarryd's dream to play at North Sydney oval... planets are aligning....

May as well just kiss the Gold Coast experiment goodbye, no one turns up anyway except when Parra play and the Parra fans outnumber the GC fans quite easily.

Sky News aren't being accurate then

Sporting teams don't work on the Gold Coast, it's as simple as that. If there was a sport where you sold or did drugs and got Tatts then maybe they would get on board.

 

[Gronk]

The NRL have a minimum standard for grounds including capacity and lighting. Not sure if North Sydney complies.

Also they might find themselves playing at Allianz because of the NSW Gov stadia strategy.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Will end in tears if it happens. Qlders aren't going to support at team that is half North Sydney. North Sydney fans are North Sydney fans, not Bears fans and surely won't support a team based on the Gold Coast.

 

[Gronk]

Northern Eagles Mark II ?

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Northern Eagles Mark II ?

Far South East Qld Bear-Tits. But yes. It looks to me like perhaps the NRL is happy to let it happen as a means of letting the market sort out both the Bears and the Titans once and for all.

 

[emjaycee]

The Bears may well have been the only party interested in buying the asset the NRL has been trying to sell for a while now.

You have pretty much described rugby league

Sizeable if verifiable.
