Rumours and Stuff

[Glenneel]

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.

To simply it you can say that all clubs have the same resources (salary cap) as every other club, some have more TPAs (Broncos), some have more staff, and some have more intangibles (like the Roosters). We now have fulltime staff from HM up (which apparently we didn't previously), putting more money into women's teams and, from reports, have a coach with a vision and a plan (unlike previously apparently). Proof will be in the pudding next year on how we go but you'd have to say that we are now a well resourced team and on that metric alone should improve next year. BUT, will a well resourced team, such as ours now, win a premiership? Over the you...Pou.

Not since the legendary Brian Smith graced us have I been this fired up for a new season. Hats off to management for finally purging the stale, outdated relics of the previous coaching regime and dragging us into the modern era.

It reignited my passion, made me renew my membership, and has me buzzing like the days when Bitcoin was a steal at under a grand.

 

[Glenneel]

Don't worry - we have 'em covered with 100M income and $20M profits!

As you know, you are wasting your wisdom. Halfwits tend to just change what they mean by the word instead of admitting they learnt something...

That's the Leagues club - does that include the footy club or are they separate financials?

 

[Tiger5150]

You don't count tax as an expense? The net profit after tax was $5.6m, the previous year $3.2m.

Tax isnt part of the P&L

Discussion of valuable NFL franchises has led me to reconsider the resourcing at the Broncos. Value can come from just reducing operating costs. In that way, value is the opposite of resources. Like how Manly went broke after winning their last two premierships. They’ve never really recovered as a premiership force. Spent so much resources they ran out, the poor merkins.

It’s ok. Everyone knows you argue both sides, whichever one fits your narrative for the day.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Pamfers are just so damn lucky. Who needs resources when you are lucky.

Likewise, who needs luck when you have resources?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They have revenue of $75M pa, spend $67Mpa and make $8M profit pa. This is light years ahead of most clubs.

How much do "most clubs" spend on football operations compared to the Broncos, and why haven't you included evidence of it?

Never fight a war on two front you bored imbecile. The crypto slap down is waiting for you in the other thread.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Wouldn't surprise me if the cowboys go after Blake Mozer now Robson is gone.

We seem stuck on the Jayden Brailey train with the Knights not budging.

Could Ryley Smith make the jump up to first grade within 12 months. Sounds like he is one of the fittest in the club.

Have to say, the neurodivergent theory makes a great deal of sense.

Either that or you are just the saddest bastard on Earth.

There is always a third theory and the one to which I subscribe - you are a troll who just takes contrary positions so that you can argue with people for days one end and rub yourself raw to it...

I’d still employ him where I work. He is relentless and is no dumb merkin. He’s like Taylor, the she/male on Billions.

Agreed - he's not dumb.

that's why none of those theories mention a lack of intelligence.

Options are neurodivergent, sad or troll.

But not dumb.

As Ive said many a time, he has ruined this sight for me, not speaking for anyone else, I have him on ignore and still dread at the sight of his profile name…..yikes

Its just so f**king boring. Ive had to start using other sites to get footy news minus the punish.

Even putting him on ignore doesn't work because people keep replying to him.
Yes, it's a punish.

Boys we’ve been through this plenty of times. If you feel Pou is on a fishing expedition, scroll on by.

Must admit I giggled seeing the Broncos/resources comment. That’s going down in the Hall of Fame next to Robson Mk II.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Pou is wasting his talent on here....

Should be a politician, or a lawyer or something...
