Rumours and Stuff

The 2nd paragraph reads better like this: If the decision is made by BA not to sign him and the hang up is only over 50-100k for the NSW hooker, then it'll be the first time I disagree with a decision BA has made.

It reads even better like this: If BA makes the decision not to sign an NSW hooker that only requires another 50-100k it will be the first time we disagree.

Learn to simplify your sentences, they are unnecessarily wordy. You need to be more succinct in your writing style. I also notice you gravitate towards beginning the majority of your sentences with the conjunctions "And" and "But". This is sometimes a stylistic choice but there is a reason teachers tell you not to do it and it's because you are not the next Shakespeare. It just comes across as lazy when it's done repetitively. You can use a thesaurus to help you begin sentences without conjunctions if you have a limited vocabulary.

Can I get you to proof read my next assignment?

Peats is almost 4 years older. Kaysa had a horrid time with injuries and this is his first year he hasn't been troubled.
Of his 39 games he has started about 18 and in total mins id give him perhaps 24 full games. An nrl season.

Has he improved at all? I feel most players need 2 full seasons in NRL to get up to speed. Some burst onto seen but most dont.
They learn and improve. Due to injury Kaysa has cost himself atleast one full season. If wasnt for injury and he had started 50 odd nrl games and development was the same id be more worried.
He is capable of MOM performances already at this point of his career. He hopefully will get about 10 more games this season and with a big off season 2018 maybe his break out year. Not sure why people are giving up on him so fast. He is showing glimpses and improving weekly.

I don't think he's MOM capable just yet. That said they're isn't many hookers going round at the mo who are

We need scapegoats when lose. It will be Moses and Kaysa for now.
And when we win we will ignore them. But most of our losses havent been cause of Kaysa

Just goes to show stats don't tell the whole story.
Some on here think starts paint the entire picture, they paint half of it.

They don't take into consideration a lot of other details.

If stats say Pritchard is better then Peats lucky they don't pick teams on stats then, FFS.

Stats are useful evidence of a players performance, be it good or bad. Old Ivor would have stats stricken from existence if he could.

Peats is superior.
I doubt kaysa costs more then 200k. While peats wants 400k more.
Imagine the 2 backrow players can have if spent 500k on both playing along with Kaysa compared to the two you get for 300k with peats.

Apples for apples.

WTF ? So does this mean it grows back or he can get a silicone or donor one or like tonsils you dont need it ?

I'd rather compare more to a foreskin. Cut it off, throw it out. Surplus skin/tissue where u can do the job with or without one.

Whoops...

I say we cut our losses. Will Smith can be the new Kaysa, on even smaller money.

And we can sign Peats for 2018 using a combo of Kaysa, Frank, De Gois and Fogarty's money. Make it so, BA and Bernie!

Spot on. A Peats and Smith rotation/hooker depth would be awesome. Prior to tonight we could have told him he doesn't have a future with us and he'd probably be able to get a bench hooker gig somewhere. With this latest injury though we may find it harder to move him on.

Don't we get a salary cap allowance or dispensation for injured players maybe we don't need to move him on

We wouldn't be moving him on this season regardless of his injury. It's next year I was talking about. However, his injury woes would be concerning for any prospective employer...as are Peats', but he is a much better player.

People talk about Peats' fitness, but he's Cam Smith compared to Kaysa so surely we're better off banking on him either way....seriously.

Peats is too injury prone for whatever he's asking. Injury prone players all want a contract as if they will play every week starting next season. We should go with Lichaa. He'll be cheaper plus it won't matter if Kritchard gets injured. Smith can come in and replace him on the bench, assuming Smith re-signs.

Lichaa is absolute dog shit, even dogs fans agree on that.
