Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

We will pay over $2m

Absolute cock up if true

 

[Poupou Escobar]

we have a recruitment and retention committee, it's not just up to BA

BA is the face of the club ffs so everything is his decision!!!

Fancy the club keeping it's best players, what a disaster!!!

This club doesn't have the balls enough to fire the captain. We don't seem to be the Roosters to make the tough calls. So I reckon Dyl will go.

Another thing, maybe it's a fan's viewpoint but I don't see what Dyl offers at 5/8th which he couldn't at fullback. With his speed and step, he'd kill at fullback.

Dyl provides elite level defence on the edge in the front line, which he can’t at fullback.

Who would you keep?
I'd rather to keep D.Brown. He is more a risk but I just prefer his game.

We’ve already lost Mahoney, Pou won’t be happy until we loooose all our spine. He loves us struggling so he can do what he does best. Defend defend defend!!

I'd prioritize our two halves over Gutho which hopefully is what we are doing. We didn't offer Gutho what his agent was allegedly looking for, thank god. He is not an elite-level FB, as good as he is.

That way we should be able to afford our two halves when we know what the salary cap will be.

Fingers crossed.

Do we know what the salary cap is next season?

Also, what type of car do you get for 19 grand?

Poupou won't be happy until the squad consists entirely of a bunch of plodding no names, who can all be classified as "utilities" in the nonsensical format of his squad succession thread posts!

If it's calculated like social security for the pensions it like a fire sale. Have to get rid possessions quickly so sell below worth.

How much do you think Cleary/Luai and Munster/Hughes will be on in 2024?

Didn't Munster take a "pay cut" to stay at the Storm? So they must be on around 1.8-2 mill a season.

 

[JokerEel]

Would love to see the Dogs & Roosters players open their bank accounts and explain how they get cash from the sponsors associated with the club..

Yep, and I'd hazard a guess their whole spine would be on more than ours. 2 million a season for 2 halves doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Storm don’t have $800k props. I’d take forshizzel for shits n giggles

So what's more ridiculous, 2 million for 2 halves or ageing 800k props?

It is if half their team mates are reserve graders ffs!

 

[Gazzamatta]

Sorry, I don’t think this is rational or realistic. Players like Will Smith or Jake Arthur get used as a band aid solution when the squad depth and balance is tested. You need players in the squad like them to do a job, but they are never the preferred option. If we lose a player of the calibre of Moses or Brown, then there is no way that anyone at the club would be comfortable with Jake being a starting half in our grand finalist club. There is no secret that we made Jack Wighton a target before Dylan exercised his last option.

Hope you are right Gronky.

I hope you are right Twiz.

Dyl provides elite level defence on the edge in the front line, which he can’t at fullback.

Yet at fullback he gets more opportunities to run the ball. Pros and cons ffs
