Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Lussick is probably the worse hooker in NRL. His service is poor and very rarely engages the defenders.

That’s because he is too busy leaving them in his dust when he scores tries.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If he was having a go at R & R it would have been for 2023 and 2024, not 2025. The last two years besides Hopgood have been nothing short of abysmal. Seriously I think even pou would have managed better and we all know how much he loves plods.

Well maybe not even pou, but you'll know what I mean. Freakin pathetic!

Recruitment was poor due to the salary cap biting us after 2019-22. It’s easier to recruit after poor seasons because you let a bunch of merkins go. Look how well we recruited after 2013 and 2018 ffs. Were we just better at recruiting back then? Why have the Tigers and Dogs signed so many big names in recent years? It’s because that’s what shit teams do.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well then they shouldn't have tapped him on the shoulder then and made him see out his contract ffs.

I’d say we wanted to use the cap space elsewhere.

There's a chance Bailey overtakes Sivo for that spot on the wing (or maybe he plays at centre), but it's important that we don't rush him back. If he doesn't have his speed he loses alot of his value, so I'd rather them stick with Sivo for atleast the first few games.

The two blokes who are contracted to play for us in 2025. The best finisher in the game and the NSW Origin winger.

And neither might be lining up to play wing for us next season.

Is Sivo first choice on the wing anyway?
I don't think it was clear this year.

He finished the year on fire, but was abysmal for 80%+ of the year

You could argue Bailey wasn't that great before his injury either. Russell isn't much more than a solid backup and the young blokes (Ethyn Martin, Richard P and AMS) will all probably need a little more development.

The thing is that deep down you actually believe this.

 

[hindy111]

Bruh!! Are you trying to tell me Dunster, Simmo, Tago or Russell are better wing options than him???

Hey Bruh...GL always had dynamic talent.
Potato head couldn't see it. He did spot the natural talent of JA however. Fast tracked him into the NRL. Couldn't hold him back.

They are both more chance than Greg Marzhew.

He did play two games in reserve grade (for three tries). He obviously wasn’t first choice in those two games but he was also coming back from injury. I wonder how much the injury affected his form. In his 12 NRL games this year he scored 17 tries. But we all now realise that 12 games is a small sample. Only five of those twelve opponents made the top eight. It’s very statistical.

Do you know Russell and Martin are both 22 this year? They also both have two first names.

Again thanks scoop!!

Arthur chose Sivo and Ferguson over Marzhew. He also let his son go to a more successful club.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Then stop whinging about f**king Marzhew. He’s got fewer finals wins than Jake Arthur ffs

Support the players you’ve got. Not turncoats like Marzhew and Arthur’s.

Ethyn isn’t a first name other than in Bougainville

I've been told competition in the squad is a none factor. only the top 17 matters

JAC set to be cut loose by Dogs. He has plenty of electricity and class. Allegedly on 500k at Dogs, who knows what a club could pick him up for… I’d have him for sure.

He does offer speed and excitement. The extra off field baggage though is a concern. I reckon he will end up at Souths personally....
