Rumours and Stuff

There's more that a touch of irony in you posting this mate

Guilty.

PS if I’m Ryles I am loving the fact no one gives us a hope.

I listen to a lot of footy podcasts and literally no one likes us at all for finals.

I’m loving it, I’m sure Ryles does too.

I did say he hasn't done any worse with less, Arthur fluked a prelim and jagged and a win and got embarrassed. Stuart had made 3 prelims and a GF in which his team almost won. Both are prettyaverage Stuart rightfully cops it deluxe on here but Bea Arthur is some sort of sacred cow.

You don’t think Arthur is criticised on here?

Stuart has proven he is a decent coach, and Arthur’s is at a similar level. He just doesn’t have the contacts Stuart has.

Although, I will say - I am Matto's biggest fan, but his concussion history concerns me.

No you are not......

Matto is Mattos biggest fan

This is Orr realising he sold his client short when he accepted the current contract with the POs in it. Now he wants more money and is pushing the narrative that the POs were bad for Parra and we can get rid of them if we would only give his client more cash. Maybe we're not the ones who are desperate? Just take the PO ffs Orr, and try again in three years time.

Hang on Im confused, I thought a club offering a PO was a genius move that enabled a club to sign a player for less? Surely that being the case the trade off is that 12 months before the PO matures the player can explore the market in which case all will be revealed about whether the current contract is "short"?

Surely if its true that a club offering a player a PO enables them to sign for less money (like all the good clubs do) then it would take more cash to get rid of them?

I could be wrong but I heard all of this from a self certified expert.

Have Matto's arms gotten too big for his shoulders?

Why are you always comparing Arthur with Stuart? Who gives a stuff about Stuart

I don't think Stuart has done any better at all, but maybe Pou will resurrect a previous Stuart vs Arthur analysis if it exists.

I actually think that Stuart has done an amazing job of keeping the Raiders competitive. They have done much better job than the Tigers at making the 8 obviously and without checking the stats (because ICBF) they would be on a par with Parra, but the ability to attract any talent to Canberra and then make the most of the meager talent he has attracted IMO is genuinely impressive.

Anyone on here remotely critical was labeled a death rider, a hater or just plain wrong.

Arthur did a decent job early on but had well and truly worn out his welcome.

Round 6 2018 in fact.

 

[Tiger5150]

Realistically it’s hard for people to imagine a team that could hardly beat their own dicks last season improving to make the 8

Fair enough because it isn’t a common thing for teams to improve that much in the course of one off-season.

Miracles happen, you just need to believe hard enough....

He has to shift blame from his plodding hero.

It has been our plan for 13 years. Im starting to love it less.

Poor old Bea also didnt have the warm climes and throbbing nightlife of Lyneham, Dickson & Fyshwick to attract talent as well.

That's what I said...

Uhm...I mean...

Crap.

Some of us are all three.

To be quite blunt, your miracle there was that both the Eels, and Dragons, choked massively...

Every team we beat apparently choked, but we kept beating them.

Parra and the Dragons choking is no miracle.

We can’t support the new coach without lying about the old one.

I have heard some reports about him and I honestly don’t think he has looked that athletic… ever!

Ryles was adamant he wanted to keep him and clearly he had a plan for him.

Paulo actually looks like a different person there.

Do.ypu thunk he finally Is he Parra fit?

Agree. They always cause upsets and play tough. Rarely give up and fight hard with an average squad at best
