Rumours and Stuff

[Twizzle]

To be fair, I don't think that Jack thought Sterlo was a golfer.

yeah, but for Jack Gibson, that was a big compliment

It's not like he's going to say he's a snooker player.

and a long sentence.

Mortimer had a better kicking game, better running game, was a better cover-defender. Great leader, too. He shades Sterling, in my opinion.

Still Blasphemy!

Ummm no Mortimer kicking game was definitely not in sterlos league, not even close. Mortimer had a good chip kick and that’s it. They were completely different players but sterling managed a game at a different level to Mortimer.

And Sterling took Mortimer's spot on the '82 Kangaroo tour. Kenny took Lewis' spot too.

And Sterlo started off playing Fullback

Then they cloned him and created Paul Taylor who then played fullback but defended like a modern day hooker.

I'm fine with the decision not to allow him back, but it just seems a weird one considering some of the players that are still allowed to play in the NRL.

I think at some point the NRL has to draw a line in the sand. Unfortunately as Delboy pointed out I think this may be more of a case of favouritism towards which clubs wanted Scott rather than them actually taking a stand about who is employed.

If that POS Lodge was allowed back anyone should be allowed back. That said it's absolutely disgraceful that piece of human garbage is allowed anywhere near RL.

Maguire comes across like a boofhead to me. I've never been impressed with him an any interview and his recent one with Weidler after becoming the NSW SOO coach doesn't make me change my mind.

Haven't seen it but weidler interviews are hard to judge.

Bloke is a leech looking to make himself the centrepiece with dumb questions and get a story out of it.

I don't read much into the body language as Danny is cramping them for room anyway.

Freddy had to go pure and simple. Time was up.

Madge did win a comp at Souths no other coach has done for 50 years.

I’ve known a few alcholics, none of them were ever charged with domestic violence.

Maybe if it happens once you can say it was maybe the liquor but if it happens repeatedly it’s who he is. Hiding behind alcohol is pretty pathetic IMO.

Fair point. I'm only talking about the alcohol aspect. I don't have enough information about the domestic violence charges to form an opinion. You say it was repeated?

Two grown men chasing each other rnd with a wet towel. It's embarrassing.
@TheRam these two have zero class.

Well, to be fair, there's only one doing the chasing. He seems obsessed. And it is rather embarrassing.

 

[lingard]

As Jack Gibson said "Sterlo is a footballer" that was a big statement from Jack who was a man of few words, he was a natural

Absolutely true. I just wonder what he would have said about Mortimer if he'd been coaching him.

Looks like it wasn't a one off thing, him blaming the alcohol is BS IMO.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Israel Folau not being allowed to sign with us in 2013 was the biggest monumental cockup the NRL has ever done.

I think that showed how little pull we have got with the NRL.

While at the same time the Roosters got $BW.

mate, Sterlo's passing and kicking game was much better than Mortimers, granted Turvey was a better CD and Captain but Sterlo overall had the better packaged game.

fyi, I'm also a fan of both

 

[Stagger eel]

Horses for courses. Sterlo was the best fit for Parra, Mortimer was the best fit for the Dogs. We all seem to lose sight of is that Parra had a very good team in those years overall. Paul Taylor was my unsung hero from that era.

Taylor is the greatest eel never to play rep whilst at the club.

he probably should of made the 86 kangaroo tour as a utility.

 

[the phantom menace]

Absolutely true. I just wonder what he would have said about Mortimer if he'd been coaching him.

Probably that he should lift his game management and kicking game to Sterlo's level...

 

[the phantom menace]

Looks like it wasn't a one off thing, him blaming the alcohol is BS IMO.

And it's also BS that anyone would excuse it based on alcohol, imo.
