Rocking chair or a mahogany fine dining table?I’ve been here 2 minutes but lurked for a long time. I’d be disappointed if Pou stopped posting or wasn’t here. He’s part of the furniture.

Nothing that fancy. Probably just a hatstand next to the front door.Rocking chair or a mahogany fine dining table?
Wow, straight to step 12.A lot of us do like him, mate. He's been here a lot longer than you. You've been here 5 minutes, and your only 'contribution' has been to relentlessly target Pou. I mean, we get you don't like, okay? But if you really can't stand him and you've got little else to contribute (which seems to be the case); why don't you just f#ck off?
Does that mean we can get back to discussing player options?Wow, straight to step 12.
God forbid anyone calls out Pou’s relentless trolling and malicious baiting of Eel’s fans.A lot of us do like him, mate. He's been here a lot longer than you.

I’ve been where you are, my friend. Pou is a persistent troll on every topic—a twisted individual who seems to thrive on annoying people in a footy forum. His behavior suggests a mix of high-functioning autism and a deliberate desire to provoke. Those who defend him either haven’t reached your level of frustration yet or are just sycophants enabling his antics.God forbid anyone calls out Pou’s relentless trolling and malicious baiting of Eel’s fans.
what does it matter how long he’s been here if it’s been twenty years of utter shit and trolling?
And why would I f**k off because some sanctimonious blow hard plays judge and jury on a post that has nothing to do with him?
Get over yourself you rank imbecile!
Talk about old news @Stevie gave us this info a month ago. The players were going to do community service labouring and actually learn what a hard day's work is.SHOOSH
What club is trying to get a player to move on graciously — and if he doesn’t cop the hint — they may end up sacking him?
SHOOSH I
Who is the rugby sevens star weighing up a move to the NRL following the defection of Olympian Nathan Lawson?
SHOOSH II
Which player from a rival club stunned Brisbane officials when he nominated his asking price to replace Ezra Mam in the event that the Broncos five-eighth receives a lengthy ban.
SHOOSH III
Who was the club powerbroker who refused to sign the new club licensing agreements at the 11th hour. He ultimately fell into line but only after ruffling a few feathers in clubland and at head office.
ROOSTERS CIRCLE ROBSON
North Queensland has tabled an offer to Reece Robson as it looks to fend off rumoured interest from the Sydney Roosters in the NSW hooker.
The Cowboys told Robson’s management during the Pacific Championships that they were keen to keep him at the club and it is understood they have followed through with an extension to his current contract, which runs until the end of next season.
The Roosters, however, are believed to be circling as they prepare for the departure of Brandon Smith. Smith is off contract at the end of next season but his management has already called for expressions of interest in the New Zealand international.
It raises the prospect that the two players could swap clubs – Smith spent two years in the under 20s at North Queensland before being sacked.

He landed on his feet at Melbourne and became an international but he is now expected to depart the Roosters at the end of next season, if not earlier.
The Cowboys’ clear preference would be to keep Robson but they may be forced to explore their options if the Roosters have their way.
EELS GET HANDS DIRTY
Parramatta players will spend three days next week landscaping and working in factories. They’ll be teacher’s aides and kitchen hands. They’ll be packing hampers and doing maintenance work.
Eels coach Jason Ryles has taken a leaf out of his former club Melbourne’s highly-successful book and plans to give his players a dose of the real world.
They’ll also get a taste of what it means to be a Parramatta player by spending time in the community they represent with the fans who help pay their wages.
Ryles is hoping the players emerge from the experience feeling a mix of gratitude for the unique position, humility for the opportunity they have been given and a greater understanding of what life is like in the working world.

Ryles had outlined plans to shake up the culture at Parramatta when he was given the job and it has already begun in pre-season training, but it will begin in earnest next week as players mix with the community.
Players on million-dollar deals will spend their days working at the Foodbank, Habitat for Humanity, Giant Steps and Nathan’s Lawns and Gardens.
The only players who will miss the experience are those who are yet to return to training because they were involved in representative football at the end of the year.
It means the likes of Dylan Brown, on a bumper contract believed to be worth in the vicinity of $1 million a year, could be mowing lawns or helping educate young minds.
“It’s more about connection with our community,” Ryles said.
“It also gives us a bit of perspective on how lucky we are to do what we do and call it a job. We’ll do an open training session on the Saturday as well at a local ground in Fairfield to maintain and grow that connection with our community, fans and sponsors.”
KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR
One of the game’s genuine good guys – Jayden Brailey – tied the knot with long-term partner Liliana Brogan recently.
The pair were married at Tides Byron Estate in Byron Bay. The “honeymoon” was soon over for Brailey, who is due back at pre-season training with Newcastle next week.
i would be disappointed if we sign Brandon Smith considering the shit talk he has given our club on podcasts.On Smith - Ryles would know him well from his stint at Storm, similar situation to JAC. If the club and Ryles do their due diligence on him, I’d 100% sign him. Brailey should be the priority, and would be cheaper - but Smith would make a great difference to our team
I reckon he will be a target if we miss out on Brailey. His service from dummy half is however Ray Stone like.
He’s a good footballer. Maybe he gets better at hooker or plays somewhere else. He’s still worth a look. Wants to stay in Sydney.That's sort of ok.
He's an animal.
We want more of them, and I get the feeling that Ryles won't put up with shite and players will want to be part of this renaissance.
My glass half full view.

Most posters on here have told me they enjoy Avenger and the way his no nonsense straight to the point posts come across.Horrible backhanded insult and it’s not the first time.
What if posters repeatedly said that you had Narcissistic Personality Disorder ?
And don’t be labeling me a sycophant, I have been sparring with Pou since Jesus wore okanuis.
LMAO how passive aggressive of you.Most posters on here have told me they enjoy Avenger and the way his no nonsense straight to the point posts come across.
On the other hand the majority on here think your an absolute punish.
I am sure you don't really care at the end of the day but being up front and honest with people is always best policy i find.
Anyway enjoy your Sunday morning looks like another beautiful day in what i call the best city on planet earth.
What’s so horrible about it? It’s an obvious fact, which is why most of us put up with his antics. As a leader in my organisation, I acknowledge that a touch of narcissism comes with the territory. That’s always going to spill over in any scenario, even online.Horrible backhanded insult and it’s not the first time.

It’s not obvious to anyone. It’s backhanded insult by trying to attribute his intelligence to something other than him as a person. You’re not qualified to diagnose anything like that and even people who are, would never do so without significant one on one consultations.What’s so horrible about it?

Also, since you don’t believe in Jesus, I’d prefer if you didn’t invoke the Lord’s name to prop up your flaccid attempt at sarcasm.
Can you go into bat for Donald Trump too? He’s a narcissist too and has questionable hair and spray tan.It’s not obvious to anyone.

Okanuis ? Respect is earned in life, not demanded.
For what it’s worth, I would go into bat for anyone on here who was served up with a similar slur, not just Pou.
But that's the point! You have come in here and made it your mission to 'call him out' in just about every post you make. And not only that, but to call him out on everyone else's behalf. What a hide!God forbid anyone calls out Pou’s relentless trolling and malicious baiting of Eel’s fans.
