Rumours and Stuff

We have Ryley Smith for a 9.

He can also kick a 40/20

I'm just saying - so can Joey Lussick, and he sucks...

Management is itself a resource, and when it stems from the club’s ‘ownership’ structure it is indeed inherent.

Just like the Panthers, we made a huge change. But where they went out and got a huge funding injection from James Packer, we changed our constitution to increase stability on our boards. The result is that in the previous 22 years (an arbitrary number based on the 11 that people think is so relevant), we won 6 finals matches in the first 18 years and 4 in the most recent 6 years since the change in management structure. 2024 is the outlier in this recent period of strength. Years before 2018 don’t belong to the current board. Dumping it on the coach is just scapegoating. He is only the coach, but his record (including finals) since 2019 proves his quality. His record pre-2019 was due to being at a weak club.

No chance. Arthur performed well in reserve grade. Smith hasn’t. He is quicker than Matt Arthur but that’s about it.

Yes last preseason.

You are absolutely certain Hands trained exclusively as a hooker in the off season, when he wasn’t a starter in first grade and then was demoted to Reggie’s where he played in the halves.

I call absolute bullshit as everything points to the counter argument.

Would have played a bit more CUP if it wasn't for a certain other young up and corner who definitely deserved to be playing in front of him.

If we don't waste cap space on Brailey, Smith should start in cup

Why would he have trained as a hooker when there was an up and coming family member being groomed?

 

[The Predictor]

I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual between both parties.

Okay thank you. mutual decision is okay, let’s after COVID he was o so close to signing with the dolphins, until we upped the offer

 

[The Predictor]

It was stupid! But at least it was effort play......rather then being lazy..

I think he is going pretty good but. Have been pretty decent since Barrett has had him starting

Definitely effort, now you’ve made me feel guilty

 

[Gazzamatta]

I think it was the halftime summary from the sheds. Instructions from TB. He wanted more pressure on the Brisbane (Reynolds) kicker.
I guess you can't have it both ways.

For a so called legal person, you sure are crap at rebuttals

He knows not to waste his time in rebuttal.

As for Hands, I actually think he would be a more than competent No 9 if he was surrounded by a better squad and a better performing team. Some can be harsh critics here. He's not as bad as some people think.
I'd back him in a better squad to be our 9.

My birdies tell me he did spent most of the offseason training at hooker......and I don't think you can read to much into NSW cup positions....
