Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

The Sydney market should be able to service a lot of NRL clubs.

Like Lily Phillips?

Crazy how the bush coach complicated defence for these idiots. Chase the collision is only three words ffs!!!

Your right for once....

They were too worried about chasing the collision and should've just worried about tackling....

Most interesting thing I found in that article is Lomax has apparently stated he is moving to left centre (no actual quotes) to be inside Fox. Interesting as I've read previously that Penisini has been training on the left.

Maybe Ryles hasn't liked what he has seen with that combo and is going to change it up.

I think it was a bit of a myth that he failed in that spot at the Dragons, they were dogshit prior and Hook threw him there as a Hail Mary and I think he was probably trying too hard to make things happen.

In saying that I would prefer they split Lomax and JAC just to even out the edges a bit. Otherwise we are going to be super left side dominant, Brown, Tuilagi, Lomax, JAC.

We tend to favour attacking down our left, so linking Addo-Carr, and Lomax, would make that side really dangerous.

Plus, Lomax is a very good defender, and Fox is a great communicator, so that edge should (in theory) be defensively solid.

Also means it's a cross field kick for Moses to Lomax. Whilst it was fruitful, it did look a bit awkward in origin when they were on the same side.

I think Lomax will play right side. He seems to have a good relationship with Moses already.
Moses can kick from the middle of the field across to him, as the main kicker he isn’t locked down to one side. Plus Brown has an ok cross field kick

You’ve already proven you don’t actually know the legalities of restraints of trade so perhaps you should read both cases

I think the High Court has proven their knowledge, I back them.

Like Lily Phillips?

there's more than 100 in Sydney

Let’s start the season first shall we and then we will lay the boot in. Plus we need a proper sample size of at least a decade before we can convince the turd polisher.

11 years please

But you winger fly in and get no-one. That was extremely successful and the catalyst for Riff winning 4 GFs in a row. Those $&%*%# copied our playbook in defence

Has John Bateman ever finished a contract in his life.

The Tigers have released him 2 years early to the cowboys.

He has Jackson Hastings vibes about him as an A-Grade halfwit that can't stay at a joint for more then 2 years

How is his English body going to handle the Townsville heat.

I give it 12 months and he will be back in the UK.

 

[JokerEel]

Crazy the Tigers paid him so much for a 4 year contract..

Now the Cowboys are wasting a top 30 spot for him..

Must be hung like a horse

The Tigers are chipping in a fair bit according to fox sports.

They just wanted to move him on

The club switch will be offset by the Tigers chipping in a large chunk of his reported $700,000 salary for the final two years of his deal.

Will be surprised if its 12 months. Also dont see how he gets picked ahead of Nanai, Luki, JT, Shibisaki & Hess.

Needed the roster spot....Sullivan will be next.

The pasty motherf**ker will probably lose 8 kilos getting off the plane to the training ground cause of the humidity.... Hell be Val Holmes' replacement at centre!!!

I think as well, rather than looking at geographic areas and their need for a team, population size should be a factor as well. Sydney has over 5 million people and somewhere between 10% (rabid) and 40% ('non-practicing') of them would be NRL fans. The Sydney market should be able to service a lot of NRL clubs.

A decent number of the 5 million greater Sydney residents are 1st or 2nd generation immigrants, with some pretty big numbers coming each year.
If I moved to a new country I’d probably follow the local sport.
I wonder how many fans the game picks up from the new arrivals? Or how many fans are 1st generation fans (they didn’t pick up the game from mum and dad etc)?
Probably no way of knowing.
