Rumours and Stuff

[Gazzamatta]

Apa Twidle is the guy I'd be investing in. Ryles and co will know this. Exciting times.

 

[T-Boon]

Maybe we can land Fletcher Sharpe

We'd have a good cricket team if we did. He was a really good cricketer. Not as good as Ryley Smith but good.
I don't know, some T-Boon gibberish about getting Indian season ticket holders.

 

[Eelogical]

In all seriousness is anyone disappointed.

I haven't come across any parra fan yet actually sad he is leaving.

Especially when it would downright stupidity to even give him 1 cent more then what he is already on.

The discontent for us started with his 'test the market' option thrown out there by him and his manager. It's obvious there's a point when a circus has to go back on the road.

f**k off, Peanut!

 

[T-Boon]

I am not one who thinks he is overrated. Also think he is one of the better 5/8's in the game!

But that is a stupid deal by the Knights! To good to refuse!

Anyhow I wouId offer Drown the option of a full release tonight. I can't see any benefit of keeping him. I doubt we are winning the comp this year. Free up some cap space and give some rookies a chance. Volk, Papa....they won't be anywhere near Drown's level but they get experience....

But if he stays dropping him is a stupid idea...

Getting some use out of him at centre or fullback could work though. I like the idea of him at centre.

 

[Eelogical]

Having our hands tied is what the smart clubs do.

I assume we use cable ties rather than handcuffs.

 

[Pazza]

No I don't think this is the way to go...unless it's the guns...the others left after being decimated are not going anywhere.
They themselves will be in a rebuild.
We need to next year sign 4-5 quality players and keep promoting youth whilst dispensing with the likes of Lussick, Paulo, Lane, wiremu, Dunster, Joffa, Cartwright
We need to sign 2 props and 2 backrowers as well as a 5/8th and a winger and centre so there's healthy competition
Its actually exciting as we will have good $$$ to spend

Not happy with hopgood and iongi?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We need 2nd rowers. I guess we'll need to wait and see if Lane and Matto decide to take up there MO/PO before we can actively look to recruit. For now we just have to wait and see what they decide to do. Hands tied

Didn’t you say you reckon we have $1M+ available this year? That plus whatever we won't be spending on Drown is now available to buy the players we need. We don't have to wait for Lane or Matterson (who are now in the middle rotation anyway) to decide anything.

 

[Soto]

Not happy with hopgood and iongi?

Yes absolutely...let's give Ionghi at least 10-15 more games. I rate him but I also reckon Papalli is also pretty good too...it's actually exciting times

How do you know Lane is part of the middle rotation?

I'm sad he's leaving but happy we didn't match the Knights' offer.

Yeah we sacked Gutherson, RCG and Sivo, and now have Drown's contract money free and our hands are tied ffs. Geez Moses must've got a hell of an upgrade.

That was never happening. They are idiots.

As I said I’m disappointed in his performance and then timing of announcement.
Old Tigers mate will say it’s karma for how Moses left them but we’ve already had that karma decades ago with Lyon. Now we get to eat the shit cereal twice

Lyon was twice the player Brown was when he left. It's not even a f**king contest.

 

[Twizzle]

I reckon he saw how shit he was yesterday and thought I had better sign today before they change their mind.

 

[lingard]

Tied, gagged and flogged

Ah. The joys of youth!

You can't have expected him to stay given the offer on the table?

 

[84 Baby]

Lyon was twice the player Brown was when he left. It's not even a f**king contest.

And they’ve both left us in shit circumstances. I guess we at least gave Brown the opportunity to do it
