Rumours and Stuff

Like this!

highlight reels always look good because they are the highlights and they omit the lowlights, missed tackles, dropped balls, bad passes etc, most players have a decent highlight reel

however, I trust our recruitment at the moment as they seem to be moving us in the right direction

Back up for Brown I’m assuming.

Hang on! I was just asking the other half of your question - if you knew the answer already...

I think many of us (me included) like the 'direction' of the recruitment currently. But to be fair we've got a lot of untested talents coming in. If they all flop we'll be squealing like piggies about how bad this recruitment has been!!

Hindsight’s a bitch.
The Adam Dykes signing was a great one. He’d just won five-eighth of the year. We had no idea he’d turn to shit.

Same as the Foran one. Although I will argue that he played well for us when he actually played.

Foran/Moses would have been an awesome combo.

Though it would have cost half the salary cap though at the time.

But losing Foran meant we got Moses 12 months later.

Probably worked out for all parties and the Dogs paid Foran similar money for 3 years with worse results.

Should have spent less time watching taped Sharks games and more time training. In all fairness he didn’t have a very good team around him during his time here so I think it’s a bit unfair to pin it entirely on him. Foran played in a pretty decent team.

Brian Smith struggled to settle on a halfback and halves during his whole time here tbf.

How many halfbacks despite the success we had under him did we churn through. Maybe the way Brian wanted the halfback to play didn't really find anyone that suited or gelled with Brian for a consistent period.

Brian for all his tactical nous man management skills have to be questioned. And maybe burnt a lot of bridges/confidence of the playmakers.

John Simon - 43 Games
David Penna - 35 Games
Ben Kusto - 13 Games
PJ Marsh - 15 Games
Jason Taylor - 26 Games
Andrew McFadden - 17 Games
Adam Dykes - 12 Games
Paul Green - 7 Games
Michael Witt - 24 Games
Chris Thorman - 5 Games
Tim Smith - 35 Games under Brian Smith

On Average more then 1 halfback per season under him.

Yeah well now that you have the best spine in the comp and backup spine as well, it’s a GF or it’s a fail. Put your house on it. Gibberer.

My house or Richo's house?

Him and Farah have always been polarising, creating various splits in past teams, therefore still a plonker

100% true story

Previously unseen video evidence of the two of them creating a split in a past Parra team.

You didn’t trust them when they built a team that played finals four straight years? Something that hadn’t happened since 2002?
