Rumours and Stuff

[T.S Quint]

Tom Bradys stats aren't amazing but his superbowl wins are. Reason is he produces in big moments. He is clutch. See stats don't show the situation. Scoring a try when the other sides up by 40 means nothing.

No. Plenty of QBs had as good or better game stats.

Amount of Super Bowl win is a stat.
And when you have 7 of them it’s a pretty important one.

 

[T.S Quint]

As I said what made him good is he was clutch. He'd make the big throws on 3rd downs etc.

That sounds like a stat to me.

Fkn hijacked once again, mods need to implement ignore requests better

Yes mods, can you please stop these people having footy discussions on a footy forum.

Or is it just about who is participating in the discussion?

Especially when it's obvious that the correct combo should be:

1. Brown
6. Lomax
7. Moses
9. Hands

Duh.

Why do people always want to remove Drown from frontline defence when that’s a strength!
1. Moses
6. Lomax
7. Hands
9. Brown

Gus paid a $500k transfer fee to get Karl Oloapu from the Ponys.

I wonder how much they had to pay him. Did it go on the cap Gus ?

===========

The 20-year-old came to the Bulldogs in 2023 on a four-year deal after falling out with the Broncos over broken contract promises. The Bulldogs were so keen on him they paid the Broncos a $500,000 transfer fee.

“The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have today announced a mutual agreement to release Karl Oloapu from the remainder of his contract, effective immediately,” the Bulldogs said in a statement.

Imagine if the Tigers did this Olapau deal 2 x years ago @Tiger5150 and paid a 500k transfer fee to get him there to rissole him 2 years later.

The media would hammer them for a week over incompetence.

There will barely be one article written about it with Gus involved.

Fairfax i doubt will even acknowledge it.

And he is a cunning prick Gus.

This has been agreed too a while back but they waited for Vegas to take centre stage and all the attention to sneak him out the back door.

But think of the options he'd have playing at #1.

It’s definitely a stat. So are the stats @emjaycee shared that show a whole bunch of merkins came up with game winning plays more often than Brady. But because he just played for so long, he accumulated more of them throughout his career. A very good stat btw

He would get a lot of opportunity to do what he does best, if he defended in the middle.

His passer rating is also pretty good, if you consider the fact that a lot of it was earned in an environment less friendly to the passing game than it has been recently. To the end of 2012 his passer rating was 3rd best of all time. He's currently 12th best (behind a bunch of current players and Drew Brees).

Brown has no kicking game anyway?

Penisni at 5/8 when the club has Volkman currently on the books.

Yeah no

Yes Brown has an average kicking game.
They said it was silly to move fitler from centre to five eight as well. Penisini could make a go of it, you heard it here first.

 

[Noise]

It will also be the last time we hear about it.

 

[King-Gutho94]

There was a rumour a player that left his old club at the start of 24 now regrets that's move..

Looks like it's a former Panthers player at the Roosters..

Spencer Leniu

I imagine it would be tough after growing up in the rough and tumble streets of Mt Druitt.

Then moving your life & lifestyle to Bondi.

Its almost the complete opposite lifestyle to what he would be used & accustomed too.

I saw most of the top ten are active players. Interesting how they’ve made it easier.

Penisini is the next Fittler now…

Piss off…..nobody can stop this guy from spewing all his bullshit…..which is not always footy discussion…..anyway why are uso concerned ? nothing bothers him, he has nothing but contempt for everyone, other than the likes of you and a few others

 

[Jake the snake]

Nobody is paying 1.2 million for Brown.....I repeat...no one....

We just need our Alan Bond moment. Pleeeaaasseee someone take the hack.

I guess it makes N.Cleary the G.O.A.T then as he has 4 premierships already and so goes pass Thurston and Johns.

What a bone head won't get is key moments. Being clutch and cool. That's what seperates your Clearys/Brady.

Kicking a field goal when your up by 40 goes down as a field goal. Scoring a try or a try assist when down by 40 means little also. It's why they call it a consolation try.

Kicking a field goal in a semi final or a sideline conversion to win a game final shows up as a stat similar to Kicking a field goal when no pressure.

Stats mean nothing unless you've watched the actual game. Based on stats is why a few penauts rated guys like Moimesea,A.Davey,Lussicks. Garbage players.

Argue all you wish about stats. They don't tell you the full story.
