Rumours and Stuff

[Avenger]

So let me get this straight, a season NRL coach is "shit" mouthing BA at junior matches, to other parents who kids play hooker, that they won't get a start at hooker at the eels...

Yes. You can call it that but he just gave him some honest advice.

That’s all you are getting. Take it or leave it.

How many first grade players have been successful playing less than 5 cup games?

Jake Arthur?

Does it really mean anything if someone was shit mouthing BA at junior games.

If you have been in the local area recently and attended junior games or speak to most people who know Arthur clan or were associated them there is a not a lot of love there.

You can live in your cocoon & fantasy world all you like.

But its just human nature a lot of good rugby league people are pissed off that Brad used his position & influence to get his son's through the door when other people might have seen there kids as a better chance in getting in.

Especially when its been said numerous times that Boods was a shit of a kid as well.

Nepotism happens in a lot of businesses and junior sport anyway.

So its not like its never happened before.

Unfortunately for us it crept into the sporting team we all love but hey its all ancient history now.

Not sure why it matters anymore the BA clan are gone.

We have TLT coming up with Hands Smith available also we have a decent 9 in the ball side.

Time to move on

 

[Incorrect]

didnt BA recruit Hands and Smith......someone forgot to tell their dads not to come ....

BA wasn't in charge of recruiting....

Please your info is hardly reliable, weren't you posting rumours Knights werent happy with MA....then suddenly after the pre-season, they tell Brailey, their once captain, better players, they wouldn't be offering them a contract... elevating MA into serious NRL top 17 contention in 2026....

Gee MA must have impressed in the offseason....

To be fair the Knights were trying to ship Brailey off before the preseason then decided they needed to keep him.and are now happy to ship him again

They got to get the money for Brown somewhere

And why wouId they suddenly be happy to move him on? Most logical reason would be they are now happy with MA being their number 2 hooker in 2026, after watching him during the offseason.

Yeah that's what I was implying.

I think the correct word is subjective.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

So, someone is sniffing about May. I wouldn't think us, and I'm sure the Tigers have higher standards than that, right @Tiger5150?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Got to be the Tigpies. Their new guy was spruking just the other day how he'd love to play with his brothers.

Gee I hope so that means someone's going to be handing in their membership

TBH it's the only team that makes sense with Olam being sent to the knackery.

 

[The Predictor]

As I predicted he ain’t going anywhere

Has he re-signed?

 

[emjaycee]

Has he re-signed?

I think it's just a re-prediction from The Predictor.

 

[gaffer]

in for a long season round 1 No moses we're gorne

 

[hindy111]

But that doesnt suit the narrative.

Will be interesting to see who has the better career of the two. Let's be honest. Neither may make it.
