Rumours and Stuff

I reckon we are also after another hooker.

Robson for 2026

Sorry for being argumentative, you've all made good points, but for the first time in ages I am pessimistic on our future (despite believing Ryles will be much better than Arthur)

I think next season will be a make-do season that could go in any direction. There are a number of players that likely won’t be renewed after 2025, regardless of their form, and others even under contract who’ll likely be given permission to leave. At least if they do stay, it’ll be in vastly different roles (e.g. Gutho).
But post that, if we recruit well and Ryles proves himself, 2026 will be the better indicator of where we heading.

Another Parra website was excited.

The training reports had him training the house down apprantley.

Just like Hodgson lolz. and Jake and Boooooooods!!!!

Lane and Matterson at least have better lateral movement than RCG.

I don’t think they do honestly. At very best, they do but lack RCG’s awareness/attitude. Now I think about I don’t think they will cover RCG, but hopefully only marginally

He was playing too many minutes so he got fat from chasing the collision. JR will sort him out.

U r pest

OK, forwards then...

Hands doesn't chase any collisions...not compared with the previous person anyway.

Ffs chasing the collision isn’t literal…
It’s about preparedness and aggression at impact.
That said I included Gutho and Penisini. They took backwards steps in that regard this year. TBF broken ribs will probably do that.

If he can get fit and stay fit Jnr has plenty to offer. The first 6 weeks of the year he looked great. Then he put on about 10kgs

I forget which game it was but I said Paulo still has value but it’s not going to be at his price tag or the expectation of him playing 50-60 minutes. So really fitness only really needs to be at the expectation of him exploding for 30 minutes (possibly over 2 stints).
Which would put him on par with Roy’s Hunt, who people jizzed themselves over this year

Robson for 2026

Jeff?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hopefully mk 2 though the original would be more cap friendly

Ch9 pats Ch9 employee on back for job well done.

He’ll b fit for his boxing, and throw in the towel footy season

The cap was badly managed , the GM and Coach were responsible for the cap and positions being critically unbalanced. Will the remaining official surprise and do a much better job alongside a different coach.

With RCG gone and a number of others moved on, it’s critical we make decent signings and probably develop better relations with player managers. The cap needs a reset and better distributed, fingers crossed that the next couple of months brings results and players added that will provide impetus for the return to finals.

I assume Emu is going? I had hoped he would have improved, Brad certainly didn’t and do him any favours

Gutherson should in no way be compared to Penisini …..chalk and cheese!!

 

[gaffer]

is it too late to include a fat clause in jnr's contract NO more pies , sausage rolls and fat macs
