Rumours and Stuff

I like Moretti cos as King Gutho says, he brings energy. In the past I’ve found his handling frustrating, dropping the pill at critical times. Hopefully Ryles and Co can improve that. They obviously think they can.

I think that's probably where my view is coming from too.
Over the years we have seen it in Lane, Stone, Terepo, Doorey and Moretti and it is f**ken frustrating to watch the hard work done and then the chance ruined by an unforced dropped ball.

That Sloth Joey Lussicks shoddy service hasn't helped him either.

Just wish Lussick would barge over from dummy half..

Incorrect
Under BA 5/10 against top 8 sides

Under Barrett 7/13

I left out Souths game as it's a 50/50

Where are you getting your stats from? Ive never checked most but they seem fabricated.

I'm going off final ladder position, after every team had a sample of a full season's worth of games to show their quality. This is why the ladder is irrelevant after half a dozen games.

Not sure I ever gave an opinion on Moimoisea, but whatever.

I was the one who thought Momoisea was going to be the next SBW. Here's my first ever comment about him, while he was still at Newcastle:

We were hoping for Fuifui Moimoisea but instead got Jake Mamosea

You can add Jack Williams to the mix now as well. Good player when he holds the ball but flippers for hands.

well technically, flippers would provide more surfce area with which to catch and hold the ball so thats a good thing, right ?

or thats what Pou would have said

Why an NRL club will pay $1m for ‘consistently inconsistent’ Dylan Brown

“Franchise player” was the phrase used to shop the Eels star to other clubs this week. Brown has used far less flattering terms to describe his form.

i like morretti brings energy to our forward pack that I felt we never replaced what we had with peak Nathan brown

What we're missing now in the forwards is a bit of mongrel which imo is the missing ingredient to winning a grand final. Need Nathan Brown slapping our forwards around before going out to play.

Not sure about @hindy111 having Merkin in him

Round 1 will have us under immediate pressure considering Melbourne have won their first round matches for the last 22 years. Let's be honest, who's going to predict an Eels win? I don't and we may even cop a flogging. I see round 2 as a litmus test on how we'll bounce back. Having said all that I can't remember when the Eels had their top 1-17 available to start a game and round one 2025 won't be any different.

At least we have good replacements available unlike previously.

Why I think they won't pay $1M for him: He is a No 6 who cannot play as a No 7.

Never doubt the desperation of a shit club.

I don't particularly want to get into a what's the difference between the two argument. But if a "6" has 55 possessions in a game whilst the "7" has 55 possessions which 16 of them lead to kicks. Is that what a "7" is?

Lacks the opposable thumbs necessary for suitable ball handling

You can rule the Tigers out of the market for Dylbo

I think George is missing a few brain cells, and probably front teeth…Anyone who seriously thinks Moses and Gutho didn’t want to win haven’t watched them play.
Incidentally, all three pictured became SOO players under BA’s coaching, and post 2018 when some believe he has already past his used by date.
Just because you believe his time we up and we’ve moved onto better things doesn’t mean everything to do with BA was a net-negative.

I agree totally.

Gutherson's time here was up, but anybody who claims that he didn't want to win a Premiership is an imbecile whose opinion is utterly worthless.

If we can off load this bludger it would be a miracle. The deal he got out of us was like when Bond Sold 9 back to back to Packer. Our idiot management not only overpaid for this bludger but they gave him options all in his favour.

which other dumb club would even remotely give him the same money? Nobody. We are stuck with this overhyped overrated inconsistent hack.
