Rumours and Stuff

A few, I don't think his current deal is that big, probably not even $500k. So with only 6 or so months left, in the "contract" year, you probably only need to pay him $250k or so, probably less...

Reckon we would....


I think whoever is going to get him if it's this year will need to pay him a min 500k. As he probably was going to get a nice upgrade from the tigers

They are right, he should. This level of merkinery and knocking back $5.5M as a 19yo would make a tiny bit of sense if he went to Storm/Penrith/Dogs. Leaving 3 x spooners who are improving to a club who are currently last makes a joke of it and reinforces its about $$$ and term.
Probably still pissed that he wasn't given a release in previous years.

There was an interview/quote by a tigers player that he was a bit awkward with players at the club? Any legs on that?

Was he like Jake Arthur at Parra where no one in the change room sat next to him?

Is he a Hastings type?

Our club lacks any voice or presence in the media.

Our club hasn't been strong enough in this path for years and now you have most NRL Media full of ex players consist of ex Roosters, Bulldogs, Broncos, Sharks & Storm.

Our only ex player in the media is Nathan Hindmarsh and as great a player he was he isn't exactly Peter Sterling when it comes to gravitas or someone you listen too when he speaks about Rugby League.

In fact his legacy as a player has diminished more since joining the media letting himself get the piss taken out of by not winning a comp and being a flopper. Which is quite sad really but Hindy has taken $$$$.

You only have to look at when he actually talks about RL he is pretty plain and offers not much to the coverage.
But we have Jim in charge. He’s popular he started Jim’s mowing.

The thing for me is I just don't think Moses will be playing alot of games because of injuries and reps.

Without a decent half, we are where we are.

Melbourne's spine is incredible and they just get pigs in the forwards to do a job.

I'd argue that right now, our pigs don't even "do a job".

I agree we need quality in the spine - but is it better to spend millions of dollars in the spine, leaving you bereft of quality elsewhere, or to look for quality players that cost less, which allows you to strengthen the overall side?

Tough question.

We do also have Twiddle, and Lynn, who might be able to step up in the coming year, or so, and won't cost much.

What we need is an Energizer Bunny middle forward.

To be honest, I agree with the sentiment of the article - it's total bullshit that Gould goes off on his media shows, and talks about what a fan of Calvin's he is...isn't there supposed to be some anti-tampering rules?

How Gould continually gets away with shit like this is beyond me.
