Rumours and Stuff

[hineyrulz]

In mid 2022 when we where handing out all these stupid long deals to everyone I bought up how this is going to f**k us up and how we had to put everything into 2022 then bite bullet and start a mini rebuild in 2023/2024 so by time 2025 hit we where built to challenge again.
This squad will be flat out challenging for top 8 let alone a title.
I'd say now it won't be before 2027.
We could have had a strong squad for 2025-2027 capable of top 4 if things where done differently. We've wasted Moses best years. By time we are ready he is going to be starting to decline.

Japanese Raven spot in as usual.

@Poupou Escobar can confirm this as it was a bit of a discussion. We had all these forward coming off contract at the sametime. 4yr deals, PO's & ratchet clauses sprinkled everywhere.

Anyhows we may get lucky. If Iongi and Hands/R.Smith step up then in 2026 we will have Lanes 500k, Mattos money also and Bryce's.
We'd have to have money spare already after RCG and Guth where released. I assume Sivo cancels out JAC contract.
Lomax was already signed by rnd 6 so must of fitted under the cap prior.

Get some perspective. Moses' injuries might've wasted the final three years of our premiership window.

You're right. Thanks for pointing this out

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You're right.

I might be.

 

[lingard]

I might be.

Sounds at least plausible.

You are probably right but all we need is 1-2 forwards to step up or purchased and we will be at our best.

It will take probably that time 2 years for the team to learn how Ryles wants them to play and forget how they used to play.

Iongi and our hookers are promising but there is no guarantee they are 10yr NRL level players of any standard yet let alone above average.
I think we need edge forwards. Middles is fine.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’m not lying, mate. It happened. No hearsay either.

I don't think you are the kind of person to tell lies. But I suspect you're the kind of person who believes them when they line up with what you already think.

You might be surprised. I can be impartial. That said, I’m a bit cynical. I also have a built-in bullshit detector, which is essential in my line of work. It didn’t register when nepotism and BA was discussed.

Is it like a smoke detector?? It must drive your neighbours f**king crazy when you start posting on LU.... It'd be going off non-stop...

Iongi I think can have a long career our hookers I doubt.

Maybe Kelman and Williams will shock us and be the second rowers we need.. (Kelman needs to fix his defence) though I doubt Ryles see's both of them as long term second rowers Williams was supposed to be a front rower this year....

I would have given Guymer time to develop into a second rowers just needs to stop getting belted when he runs the ball..

I’m usually on the toilet during my posting sessions.

Well I know f**k all about it so you could be right. I also know trust is very important in certain lines of work and often this can lead to accusations of nepotism or jobs for the boys by untrusted merkins who find themselves on the outside.

Who the f**k is Kelman?

But I’m on the inside which is why I’m giving you the f**king exclusive.

PS I’m sitting in the ground floor cinema room of my triple story house, nobody can hear my screams of frustration trying to make sense with you.

He's a mate of Venkman and Loggi's....

I would say the bloke who gave you the tip was on the outside if he's shit talking the head coach.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

1. Loggi
7. Venkman
11. Kelman

What if he’s now back at our club? Doesn’t that make him back as an insider?
