Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Kafusi has transformed as a player. Right now his 400k looks a bargain.

He is averaging fewer metres per game than he did at Parra: https://www.nrl.com/players/nrl-premiership/sharks/oregon-kaufusi/

Jack Williams is off contract, seems like the kinda bloke who likes to tackle

I lived in Perth through the 70s, kids born there. Been back twice to see family and friends, it’s a nice place but too far away from anywhere and far too insular.

Had a house near the beach and then just south of the city, great for the kids but they have done so well here in Sydney, all their friends were married with kids by the time they were 21/22.

They could've had that moving to Newcastle or Townsville ffs. Or move to the 1950s.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Attractiveness? Have you ever been to Townsville?

Have you ever seen the quality of players they've managed to sign and retain?

But yes I have actually. I lived there when I was in the army.

 

[Gronk]

I thought the mutual option could be activated by only one of player or club???

Nope, both parties need to agree.

I lived in South Perth. Loved it there. Went back this year to see some friends and had some work to do also. It’s great if you like to watch European soccer as the times are more user friendly. Beaches are pristine and cleaner than I have seen anywhere in Australia.

These days I usually travel to Brisbane, Gold Coast and Melbourne for work. I love Melbourne. Their indoor stuff like cafes, restaurants etc shit on Sydney. Sydney is boring in winter and if it wasn’t for the footy it would be unbearable. Gets better in the warmer months for the obvious reasons.

It's no different to negotiating any one year extension ffs!!!!

Plus it's just got that old fashioned charm. Here's a photo I took in Fremantle yesterday:

i was always told that Perth got inhabited by those that couldn't handle the boat trip and got off there instead of going to Sydney

The bike ride I did regularly was from South Perth to the Left Bank Hotel near Freo. Also the one around the Narrows Bridge all the way to Dalkeith and Claremont.

The dedicated cycle ways are amazing not like the abomination that Clover Moore has done around Sydney.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cycling is awesome here. Doesn't stop every merkin hating cyclists though.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Merkin I am on the Freo bandwagon. Toot toot!

How's the bandwagon going.

They did a capitulation parramatta would be proud of.

SHOOSH​

Which NRL club board is split over the future of its head coach. It’s a big story because they have already earmarked a potential replacement.

SPOTTED​

Eels coach Trent Barrett dropping into the Brisbane Broncos’ dressing sheds after Friday night’s loss at Suncorp Stadium. Barrett will be joining Kevin Walters’ staff as an assistant coach next year.

Shoosh part i reckon is Adam O'Brien.

The leak during the week about Newcastle finishing 13th or lower makes his extension null and void was a message all is not well up there.

They are so much like the Eels. I believe the Noongar word for Eels is Dockers.

f**kEN CHELSEA 1-0 AFTER TWO MINUTES FFS!!!!!

 

[EelsFan05]

Perth is the best city in the country. I'm gutted at having to leave.

I bet Perth isn't.

You're not coming back to Sydney are you?

 

[hineyrulz]

Perth is a lovely place but boring as all hell, perfect for a merkin like Pou who loves a plodder.

I lived in Concord fourteen years ago and the only thing that was nearby was the rest of Concord. As soon as you had to go anywhere else it was a 30-60 minute slog in heavy traffic.

Plenty of other suburbs that are close to many thing. Light rails going in e erywhwre and metros have changed things. Along with lots of upgrades to roads
