Rumours and Stuff

1. How does he know it happened quickly? We could have been talking for a while.


Yeah, it’s possible we know Drown is going but that doesn’t mean we rushed in and bent over.

Was there not a report late last year about us trying to extend Moses and remove POs?

*found it*

Good one Gus... "it happened quickly". Uh yeah, if 3 months is "quickly" in your book.

Dylan's got plenty of time on his side, still on a massive wicket on his current deal.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Doesn't really mean much when you don't have the minutes. Along with who possession stats when the players were on the field or even what team was playing.

We have minutes from Moretti’s 22 NRL games. He’s always been workshy, but some fans love him because he has quick feet. Nobody ever notices defensive work rate, and especially the lack of it, which is why we have stats.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

d. or there's no official offer on the table

So Newcastle might be thinking about possibly making an offer if maybe they think Dylan would consider moving.


While Brown weighs up eye-watering interest in the form of a potential $13 million, 10-year deal that Newcastle are entertaining

Newcastle might be trying to work out what Ponga is doing. They are paralysed ffs!!!!

Oh what's his defensive work rate for those games? BTW Moretti or Doorey I don't mind either as a backup player.
Wish we had some of the Broncos forwards...

Newcastle or Brown?

Either way it doesn't matter if they buy Brown and keep Ponga unless they have the forwards they are not winning anything.

So your saying we shouldn't rely on the eye test only......tell us more

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Never just rely on the eye test. The reason is that your eyes are f**ked.

Gus said on his 6 tackles podcast that he thinks the reason we extended Moses so quickly is because the club doesn’t expect Brown to stay. Interesting if true.

its Gus mate, I doubt there is anything to it

 

[Glenneel]

I'm intrigued to see how we're going to go for the next 6 weeks now.

Under the previous coach I would've put a straight line through us for the next 6 weeks.

It will be interesting to see whether the change of coaching regime has actually made any difference to the mentality and football knowledge of the squad.

If we're 0 from 6 then the entire squad can pack up and f**k off as far as I'm concerned.

Shit, the doom and gloom on this site!!! WTF!
THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING! (Fans shouting, running around in circles and punching holes in the walls. Wife and children hiding in closet with hands over ears.)

Guys, the team has had a setback - sure it's serious - but we now have backups and I'm sure the team will perform with new vigour and belief. Officially we have 7 injured players in top 30 (plus 1 suspension) which is a high toll before even season kicks off. Hopefully we'll improve from now on and have full team available for rest of season ready for our assault on the other 7 teams in top 8.

Can't argue with that.....these days I can barely see shit without squinting.....but I still won't accept it and go get glasses...

Hard to blame fans for fearing the worst.

The ones who have been around & saw 1986 have had 39 years of torture, pain & suffering ever since.

Its just natural when the team has let them down so many times to expect the sky is falling again.

My f**ken eyes are fine thank you very much, young girl!

Yep....I've honestly given up on ever seeing a premiership again in my lifetime. But on the bright side, I watch games and just enjoy it rather than getting depressed

 

[emjaycee]

It's only been 39 years of pain and foreboding of doom and gloom if your expectation is that we win the comp every year.

There has been some good times within those 39 years, sure we haven't won the premiership we all covet, but it isn't all doom and gloom.

But that six year period was very exciting.

Yeah 2011-2016 was a blast
