Rumours and Stuff

[Obscene Assassin]

Good signing.

Second row forward, listed at 187cm, and 102kg, and still young, at only 22 years of age.

He's a bit of a wrecking ball.

Fitness needs work.

Terrible defensively. 86% efficiency and .26 tackles per minute. Needs to improve that area massively if he's going to be a first grader.

 

[Zoso]

geez we're gonna have a decent cup team

I guess that gives Caylo a chance to show what he can do with some decent players, and hopefully a stable squad.

Edge 4000% unless Parra are looking for an 8minute prop option

BA loved an 8min prop.

Some more vid. Worth watching if just for the Planet Caravan background music.

It's about as far as he lived from Training as well.

 

[Glenneel]

She gave her crew almost $200m in bonuses after her tour ended. I doubt many musicians have done that.

She was struggling at the time, only made about $2bn from tour.

 

[King-Gutho94]

The drive was always short, sharp & pretty effective with plenty of backstreets avoiding any traffic..

Complete opposite to his coaching tenure where we always chased the collision, lacked attention to detail and it went on forever.

 

[Gronk]

Yeah I did and evidently I was wrong, which tbh, makes sense.

The PO for Luai makes sense for Luai (seriously, he is leaving 4 x premiers for 3 x spooners), the Bula deal makes sense for everyone.

Interesting in the Bye Round podcast that Jam (the paid ambassador of the Bulldogs) was saying that Luai committed to the Dogs by txt message. Then the a tigers came in with the options that sealed the deal.

Jam reckons that Gus won’t do options full stop and was arguing the case against the options. The other co-host took the position that there is no huge risk with an elite player.

If Gus signed Jarome for 2025/26 they would a contender no doubt.

It sheds light on decisions that clubs have to make. Do you let a player walk for the sake of an option ? Would Eels supporters have been happy to see Moses walk under the same circumstances?

In reality no but consider the media circus surrounding Moses's contract negotiations and the ill feeling same generated amongst the fans and I'd reckon the result may have required a recount. He wasn't popular and many were suggesting "go with Sanders".

It's quite possible that Sanders will be an elite #7, however how many years will you have to wait for that to happen ?

At what ages did the better halves hit their premiership best ? Sanders is still 19. I would say age 23 before he could deliver you a premiership. Moses wasn't premiership ready at 23 and still had many faults in his game.

Meanwhile Gus is still looking for a #7. If he thought Toby Sexton was the answer, he wouldn't have offered Jarome $1.2m.

Suck shit Gus.

Driving in traffic isn’t the coaches job.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I think Luai knocking back the Dogs came down to simply not getting a succulent Chinese meal inside Canterbury Leagues like some of the other signings that have gone to that dump of a football club.

Shows what you guys know. It would’ve been straight down Windsor Rd or Old Windsor, either way having to cross the Memorial Ave traffic lights that are 1 & 2 for shittest lights in country

In all seriousness i drove past the training ground on Wednesday actually as i had to run a few errands for work.

I was blown away how much Memorial Drive has changed in 10-15 years since i was last there.

I used to play Cricket & PSSA on the ground as a kid in the mid 2000s. But haven't gone to that part of Kellyville for a while.

That whole memorial drive from Windsor road all the way up to Parklea markets is different to the paddocks of land it was that i knew growing up.

Its unrecognizable if i turned off Memorial drive i would get completely lost.

Seems like a decent signing to get someone with first grade and international experience on a development contract

Definitely. Could be a weapon if he gets his mind and body right.

That highlights package ^^^ showed him to be a jacked mobile merkin.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Highlights packages only show 1 side of the players game which is there potential and ceiling.

You type in Waqa Blake on youtube and you get 3-4 min clips of him in space and scoring tries.

You don't see the 5-10 min video clips of all the dumb errors he made and the weakness in his game.
