Rumours and Stuff

I saw Cooper Cronk at the Oakes Hotel in Neutral Bay in the off-season.

He was one weird dude dressed up a cowboy from the wild west sitting by himself on a random Saturday arvo until a GWS player came up to talk to him briefly.

It was all quite bizarre actually.

He might’ve thought it was a fancy dress party.

Brian Smith developed Jason Moodie, and Daniel Wagon, into Origin rep players.

Case closed right there, tbh.

I know, I know - they played bugger all Origin.

But I doubt many other coaches could have gotten those two an Origin jumper.

And that's no disrespect to Moods, or Wags.

biggest whinger in the NRL

Robinson is pretty bad.

Must be a Rooster thing.

 

[Eelementary]

mmm!! Casey was still a bit of a plodder who made a decent career out of playing in a successful system.. Kusto was much maligned but wasn't a terrible option and actually won us a couple of games too.

we certainly had worse halves than Kusto in side over the years.

Luke Kelly...

....clean up in aisle Eele....

God, damn...

Manly fans begging for Brad Arthur.

Get it sorted Penn and Mestrov its time to bring Brad home.

Manly want it, Parra want it, everyone wants it.

Just get it done

Especially Nathan Brown

 

[Jake the snake]

yeah, sure Jake, we'll just open up our purse srings and fork out $200 million dollars for a player

Liverpool agree to break transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz​

The Reds are set to pay an initial $200million for the Bayer Leverkusen playmaker, with a further $32m in possible add-ons.

great analagy, one of your best

Don’t be an idiot. I’m referring to recruitment smarts not money spent

Being in a good side can help give you that push as well, see Steve Turner playing origin.

I mean BA did play Brown in a Grand Final after not deeming him good enough to play practically all season.

The more money these organisations have, the smarter they seem to get. Crazy.

Signing players in high demand is the best way to overpay for merkins.

Signing players that no clubs wants is what the smart clubs do.

Will be interesting to watch Hastings tonight. I’ve heard all the reports he is prickly but his interview to be honest was extremely impressive. He seems to really be intelligent.

Everyone's praising Gould but look at all the nuffies he signed since he arrived there. Every club needs them.

I think his problem is that he's a f**kwit on the piss. Like, multiple personality disorder level f**kwit.

Seeing the mic’s up Bronson Xerri clips against Parra is hard to watch. I will say this, the mic’s picked up every single impact and holy f**k Parra don’t miss in the collision. The sound of the exhale of breath on impact is quite shocking to hear.
I dare say Parra, despite our ladder position, are not seen as nearly as much of a hit and miss defensive side. I think teams are figuring out we are defending bloody well and getting better.

I think that’s probably it. He has just had a baby with beautiful young lady. Perhaps he knows he has no other chance and decides to be a model citizen? He certainly speaks as such.

I haven’t seen him play in so long see how he goes, but geez he looks like a lock to me, not a half.

I was going to comment on this...

Bronson Xerri is a drug cheat there are what 300 plus other players that didn't get banned from the sport they could have chosen to give that opportunity to...

But ignoring the drug cheat I agree with what you have said about our defense. We go in with intent.

Why not? He’s defintely a better coach than Seibold.
