Rumours and Stuff

[Soto]

Unfortunately some posters are not welcome if you bag the club or believe the club is flying when it's going absolutely horribly..
Don't ever dare to share info if you have some...that will get shot down.
If all else fails refer to points 1 and 2 again...
Most posters are pretty good sports..there are a few d$%#heads though...but welcome

Btw, can an admin advise me what I need to do to get a like button? All I have is "quote" and "reply".

Same here. I'm told I've turned on an ad blocker, but I've done no such thing.

Verno couldn’t have really cared less and Clinton didn’t give me any advice but I think that’s because he knew I was the new prop in town and was going to take his spot.
Turns out he was right. Everyone thought I was head and shoulders better than Mark.

Is this really Greg Drake?
I think if you did some hill sprints you would have played for the Blues big fella. Just lacked a couple yards of pace.

I have it on very very good authority that the Roosters and Eels had spoken about Sandon a few weeks back..we didn't move on it....sliding doors moment

MON only moves trolleys

Unreplaced big dollar players: RCG, Gutho, Sivo. None of which have been replaced from outside all replaced from inside.

Next year we add Drown.

That's 3 million in the cap.

Convert Cartwright, Matterson and Lane to the same we'll have well over 4 million to retain juniors and make a strike for top tier talent (like we did for Galvin and wisely withdrew when it became an Isaac Moses bidding war).

Foxx replaced Sivo

Foxx replaced Sivo

I kept my total conservative. I'm pretty sure Sivo was on 100K more than Foxx, who we took on a one year deal. Even if dollar for dollar we got way better value, Foxx has been a breath of fresh air this year. Now if we could only fix our home music and get a good walk on song.

Their system for detecting it is pretty rubbish, I had the like button despite having an ad blocker on for quite a while and ol’ mate Twizzle insisted I didn’t have one on. What browser do you use though? You may have one on without realising.

I suspect we're still contributing to Sivo's salary this season.

It's possible were also contributing something to Gutho, RCG and Joffa also

 

[Parrapat]

Suspect and possible.

Fact is after this year we're 3 million clear of them.

Don’t I know it! Brad Clyde pulled me aside after full time in a game against them in ‘92 and said I could be anything…I was very appreciative but Chris King came over and told me to pull my head out of my arse.

The Raiders have plundered the Knights ranks over the years. Theres probably 5 Knights juniors on their roster at any given time. Hudson Young, Tom Starling, Levi (not sure he was a jnr), Psami, Tapine.

About a third of their top 30 currently.

And incapable of signing any quality for next year.

The world is our oyster. We are the most cashed up club with a fantastic junior nursery. We've cleared all our decks and are getting more and more competitive with each week this year.

Classic. I hope that's why the club sacked Chris King. Apparently Matt King would have signed with us except he hated us for sacking Chris. Haha.

 

[T-Boon]

If I ever see Cooper Cronk, I am going to let him know how bad he is as a commentator. Awful. Wrong voice, boring, obvious "insights". I might even write to him because I'll probably never run into him.
He owes it to the game (after everything he did in Melbourne) to quit and give someone else a go at his job.

 

[Parrapat]

Ev'rybody's talking 'bout
Galvinism, Pezetism, Doueihiism, thisism, thatism, salarycapism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m
All we are saying is give Ryles a chance
All we are saying is give Ryles a chance
Yeah

Wow. That high?
Caleb Garvie is another one.

Sorry to disappoint yet another less than positive comment.
All the players you mention were released from their Eels contracts at their request and I believe they were only released on the condition of no further payment.

We do have considerable room in the cap , both 2025 and certainly in 2026, but do we have the people to utilise it well. Even
Anasta stated that the club needs to make a statement signing, that’s a long way from what we have seen from our gurus.
