Rumours and Stuff

How the f**k would you know how good our resourcing has been? Where is your evidence? It’s not 40 years worth of results, that’s for f**king sure.

With a stonewall defence like that, why aren't you playing I Adelaide today?

keep defending, one day BA will return and welcome you into his warm embrace.

I'll say it again if Resources are such the big deal Pou makes them out to be why haven't the Donkey's won a comp in almost two decades??? They must of broke 1000 mirrors and ran into 20,000 Black cats ffs!!

Of course they are important but if you continually waste them they mean absolutely zero.

What makes you think they have so much resources? They are a publicly traded company ffs. They have the liability of answering to shareholders for their financial decisions. Hardly a recipe for pouring resources into winning rugby league competitions.

It wasn’t a defence, it was an attack on your baseless claim that we have all this resourcing but just keep having idiots taking charge of it for 38 years.

So now the Broncos aren't well resourced?

Never go full Pou.

It depends what day of the week it is....

You need to stop comparing us to bigger clubs or you’ll remain unhappy. We aren’t the Storm, the Panthers or the Broncos, so you shouldn’t expect comparable results. Just because we’re not a big club doesn’t mean we’re shit. We are in the middle.

And I refuse to believe all these clubs are better resourced than the Broncos given their ability to recruit and retain playing talent year after year.

Why did we try to re-sign Mahoney then?

We did also sign that bald guy with huge arms from the raiders..

Though Reed probably would be on his last year on his new contract with us next year just in time for Boods to replace him in 26 is all went to plan...

You’ve made a lot of untested assumptions here. Until you can answer these questions, those factoids are meaningless in the context of resourcing:

1. How does the value of an organisation translate to resourcing? Businesses often gain value by reducing their costs, usually by sacking people.

2. Is it possible the high value of these organisations means they in fact are using their resources properly?

3. Given a level playing field, any NFL team is only a one in 32 chance of winning each year, so it’s obvious that some luck is required to win competitions. How much more resourcing would be required to guarantee more than one win every 32 years? The Cowboys are at least sitting on average. Bad luck could account for them not winning a second Super Bowl in that time, which would put them well ahead of the average.

4. In light of the above point, a more granular measure of onfield success tells us more about its relationship to resources. Therefore how does the Cowboys’ win rate compare to its competitors?

You’ve just placed adhoc obstacles to what I said in order to support your narrative. If you’re going to claim the value of a business has no correlation with resourcing capability the onus is on YOU to show that. Occam’s razor tells you that the value of a business means they have more resources. That’s nothing bold or outrageous. What’s ridiculous is arbitrarily claiming that high value businesses only exist in that form because they’re cheap and hire minimal staff (without any evidence to support this).
Also your claim about there every team in the NFL having a 1 in 32 chance isn’t supported by the data either. Thats assuming every team starts off with an equal chance (which is just wrong). For starters the NBA and NFL have a conference system which means you only have to finish at a certain position relative to the other teams in your conference. One conference is usually stronger than the other as well. In fact in the NBA you can finish as low as 10th out of 16 teams and theoretically win the whole thing. Thats more leeway than 8th out of 17 teams.
Also you don’t just get to assume onfield results are directly correlated with resourcing. Do you think the Tigers have been the poorest NRL club for the past three seasons? I would say decision making is a just as much of if not more important factor.

Excellent post

But nothing will convince this bloke as he truly doesn't believe his position, as evidenced by his own contrary posts sourced by others above in relation to the Broncos.

He just argues this to be contrary and to entertain himself for days on end - and then gets defended by others who claim his neurodivergence as somewhat of a shield from criticism or identification as a troll.

Reece Robson to the Roosters

Reece Robson to the Roosters

Very very interesting I would have thought we would have been chasing him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well he got BA sacked with a 2nd half demolition in Darwin

Bennett wasn’t at that game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And this is EXACTLY the right kind of scenario to offer POs!!

Scenario:
Your organisation sux
There is a star player actually talking to you
You pay them, and give them whatever it takes to get them on board in the hopes that you can then convince them to stay (the adage of more players stay than leave).
Hopefully your organisation improves both on and off-field because said star player brings a new level of professionalism.

You don't give a PO to a rookie kid... yikes!

On the other hand, Gould said that’s the only type of player he’d give a PO to. Looks like there’s no right answer, especially without all the other information required to not have a shit opinion on things.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bennett wasn’t at that game.

How much coaching does he really do these days anyway??

 

[Gherkin]

I think we'll go after the Cheese

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sounds like luck plus a part in winning GFs.

It certainly does.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And yes its different to offering an unproven kid who hadn't played FG in Blaize Talagi a PO which was downright stupidity and dumb.

Why was it dumb? How did it hurt the club in any way? He didn’t even end up using it.

 

[Eelementary]

Can someone explain to Lane we don't have resources like the big clubs .. also we are not a big club ffs

Can someone also explain to the transcriber the difference between "alluded", and "eluded"?

Ffs people are getting stupider every passing day...if only there was some fountain of knowledge available in which to do one's research...

Do we chase the cheese?

Play him like Riddell, start at hooker finsh in the forward, if he's open to it of course.
