Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

why?

Because the player needs to agree to re-sign. If he wants to test the market he will.

 

[Rocket man]

I'll forgive Greed if he comes back...
I can see him holding out for the Perth Gig by trying to stay at the dogs for another year or signing a 1yr deal with a club with a view of playing for the Perf Bears in 2027

Hopefully Reed signs with Perth and stays at the Dogs in 26. Piss Gould's salary cap up

Mate didn’t you hear? They signed Galvin for mad unders.

 

[Timana]

I don't know why but i can imagine carrigan in a dog's jersey

 

[Glenneel]

I reckon field goals should be six points, and if you miss, but not not by too much, you only get one point. Will need to second set of sticks for the one point field goal.

A second set of sticks is thinking outside the square BUT is a stupid idea which is why NO other sport in the world has or would have adopted it. Complete wanker!

(c) the tackle count doesn't restart if the kick is charged down and the kicking team regathers it.

I'm with you on this one.

Gus has never kept a player he doesn't want.

He finds a way for them to disappear from the club no questions asked.

Reed will be gone.

And this is why he can throw massive contracts around without the risk of being stuck with them. Other clubs without the ability to ‘encourage’ players to leave with minimal payout need to be more careful with handing out big contracts. O’Sullivan spoke about this in the Dolphins documentary. The biggest risk in rugby league is overpaying players, because it can hurt you for years.

Especially when the general motivation to moving a player on early is because said player is not performing in accordance with what they are being paid.

You are not coming from a position of leverage.

I hear that the Cows are after Cory Paix. Mahoney’s contract is too high.

Nick Cotric got shafted by Gus SOO rep prior to joining the dogs and Gus was able to find a way to make him disappear..

Josh Jackson as well given a golden handshake

 

[eel01s]

TPJ was the best example. Same with the young half earlier this year. Who walks away from a big money contract in those circumstances?

 

[King-Gutho94]

What are you whinging about? You got the Tigers twice.

Yeah round bloody two when your up and about.

I want to play them in the last round again.

Since 2016 they have had 50 put on them 5 times and also got beat 38-0 to the wooden spooners in another last round clash in 2021.

1 win 8 Losses

Combined Score
380 to 128

The Tigers check out once September 1 hits and its the final round

[Stagger eel]

they're pretty wild stats...

I dare say the Mt Druitt Mafia may fix that.... ( excuse the pun )

 

[King-Gutho94]

Look at Gus time @ Penrith players on big money who just disappeared out the club in a flash while still on contract

Trent Merrin
Jamie Soward
Matt Moylan
Bryce Cartwright
Jamal Idris
James Segeyaro
Elijah Taylor
Peta Hiku

@Tiger5150

Out of all those losses on there which one is your favourite

Now if sixties had come out and said that…

Amazing that the most points they scored in any of those losses was 26 which should be enough to win most games. Instead they let in 60 points.

Shows how shit in defence we were if we had enough ball to score 60 points but still let in 26. No defence was found on the field that day.

Still a fun night though, even though I had to do it sober because the lines for beers were so damn long.

I don’t regularly read TCT but I do think they get treated horribly on here by some.

These are just a few guys passionate about the footy team that they follow, enough so that they have invested their spare time to set up a website, podcast, Facebook and insta pages to talk about the club and give out any information they can.

There’s nothing wrong with trying to be positive about the club. There’s enough doom and gloom elsewhere about the Eels, including on here.

This whole “well TCT said he looks like a good player so that automatically means he’s shit” is just rubbish. I don’t know why anyone would bother visiting the site and reading it if they think that’s the case.

 

[Grigor]

I dare say if lane was on the books at the dogs Gus would have him working in the club in his chosen field while we continue to pay him while he's on indefinite leave , until we get someone similar to a Gould we will float about occasionally making the 8
