Rumours and Stuff

[Pazza]

What actions? And how will they impact the organisation for years to come?

I highly doubt though we’d be rissoling all of BAs favs if he was still in the job. His boning has given us the potential to be active in the market. Thank f**k for that.

Plenty of fish in the sea outside of Rouse Hill

I reckon most of us are just as vocal when win or lose. It's just the seasons dead and the thread has faded. And Gronk bought it up cause he was trolling I assume and a few fell for it.
When we are going well more people post.

that's just not true and never has been even back in the days of Brian Smith when it became very apparent

for some reason, people like to vent and criticize when their team loses, we all do it just some more than others

 

[TheRam]

Look, you don’t tap players of the calibre of Matterson and RCG on the shoulder if it’s not for an upgrade.

Come on mate, you're one of the smarter posters on here. But really after all these years?

You know this is Parra mate, not the Tesla organisation.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I highly doubt though we’d be rissoling all of BAs favs if he was still in the job.

I reckon this is why we got rid of him. So we could rebuild the squad. People want to work with merkins they trust, and that includes players and coaches. Our leadership team dropped the ball this last preseason and that includes the coach and his mates. f**k them off.

Let's be honest with ourselves. The two Hindys are basicaly the rulers of this kingdom. We run the show.
Your just being pulled along for the ride.

Mate I have a sore back what about you??


Let’s face it we are both kinda big deals in this place.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

31 would be WAY better

29, meh. IMO 27-30 all get paid the same anyway, so sure.
But Tago is a 2nd tier guy. I don't see him as worth a top 30 spot (and for all you or I know he potentially isn't on top 30 anyway so.... )

Given his performance in reserve grade I think he is definitely top 30 material. But he is a specialist centre. He is out of position on the wing.

 

[The Predictor]

I

offends ? lol

think we are all frustrated, embarrassed and sick of being the joke of the NRL, so what better place to come and vent, far better than having a stroke over these fkwts, so I’m not sure what ur issue is??

Nobody wants to see their team lose, but that’s the only way change happens!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What aspects of his game make him a top 30 guy?

Tackling and kicking

As for the first part of your question. Go away with your circular logic and talk to yourself. It's stupidty. Sorry.

It's a recognition that top 30 isn't the elite cadre you think it is. As though there are 510 merkins who are NRL stars in top 30 squads while player 511 is a park footballer who should be nOwHeRe NeAr FiRsT gRaDe!1!!

The reality is that there might only be 250 NRL standard players in the world. Plus another 50 who used to be (and are still good enough to be backups) and another 50 who will be (and are old enough to compete against grown men). That makes 350 merkins. Not enough to fill a dozen top 30 squads. The game needs career backups to fill out squads and cover injuries and suspensions throughout a season.

The following players have played NRL this year, at the top four clubs:

Storm
Kane Bradley (3 games)
Bronson Garlick (4 games)
Dean Ieremia (1 game)
Lazarus Vaalepu (5 games)

Panthers
Soni Luke (2 games)
Luron Patea (3 games)
Preston Riki (1 game)
Luke Sommerton (2 games)
Trent Toelau (9 games)

Roosters
Zach Dockar-Clay (2 games)
Ethan King (1 game)
Blake Steep (2 games)

Sharks
Jayden Berrell (3 games)
Jesse Colquhoun (1 game)
Liam Ison (1 game)

All nuffies with flaws in their game, just like Jake Arthur. There are even more of these merkins at the bottom 13 clubs.

 

[The Predictor]

Ha

twice actually

tbh, its not so much the whinging about BA, its the fact that the same monotonous dribble gets repeated day after day after day after day

I don't find it offensive, I find it boring as hell, do us a favour and show a bit or originality and/or creativeness, assuming that's possible

Have a break then?

Who handed out the player options? And how have they hurt us?

 

[The Predictor]

mate, we have over 30,000 members

a few of you made zero difference

300000 members whom most have never experienced a grand final win, may I politely ask what difference u are making as opposed to others?

Someone is obsessed.

You …..with your constant copy and paste shit!!!!!

 

[Legal Eel]

You are of course right.

things are going swimmingly and no one in the world could foresee a problem with BA or the clubs methods until right now - BA and the club were on track for a premiership until the mean girl fans and parasitic media unfairly bullied the club into sacking him.

 

[The Predictor]

No

Just on wooden spoons - Melbourne's only wooden spoon came off the back of their salary cap cheating.

That means they've never "won" a spoon.

That's remarkable.

Nor manly

love to ride ur coattails

No

Manly came in the comp in 1947 like us.

They are a low resource club that play on a council asbestos dump yet have never won a spoon in 77 years.

We have won 14 about to win our 15th.

Like what an absolute disgrace.

R&R commitee.... will tie up resources in the 2024, 25, 26, 27 offseasons.

and how many of those played RM cup or equivalent to third tier rugby league this year?

the point is, due to our massive mismanagement of our squad we’ve had to dig deep into Flegg and development squads, 2nd tier squad and 2 players outside our system who played third tier rugby league all because we completely mismanaged our squad this year and weren’t able to fill it with the quality required.

whilst we’ve done a reasonable job in the past this year was a next level low..

seriously, who would offer a bloke like Jirah a multi year deal in August 22 when he struggled to make Newcastles reserve grade side? Or offer Cini a 3 year deal with the third year T30 contract after spending a year in reserve grade on a 2nd tier deal…?

we did the same with Makatoa after we got him from England on a 2nd tier deal….

FMD our talent identification has been nothing short of diabolical…
