Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

For someone who prides themselves on good arguments you’re not doing a very good job here. Anyone can sign a nuffy edge backrower. Does the current balance of our team mean we can get away with a nuffy backrower or do we need a quality one?

We need one that provides value and is available for 2026. Do you think there are no worse options than Garner? He has played over 100 NRL games ffs

And "anyone can sign" a star edge back rower as well if they pay him enough. Papali'i left our club for the Tigers ffs.

You know better. No need to be obtuse. You’re the one who has said repeatedly in the past that we don’t need a star five eighth to partner Moses because the balance of the team would be better if we strengthened other areas. So can we get away with solid at best backrowers if we want to challenge for a title with the current makeup of the team?

You’re assuming Garner would’ve been the only signing.

You’re assuming Garner would’ve been the only signing.

So if he’s the only edge backrower that’s signed will you concede that it’s poor management?

 

[emjaycee]

Wow.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wow.

Can you believe this f**king guy?

Which edge back rower would good management sign?

You’re deflecting. Can you answer the question first? Then I’ll answer yours if you want.

We have the worst backrow in the comp at the moment, signing Garner won't change that. And old Jim and MON couldn't even land a bloke like Garner lol.

How does this absolute failure keep avoiding the axe??? He should of walked out with Bea Arthur hand in hand both equally responsible for the absolute clusterf**k we finds ourselves in. Honestly has anyone got any confidence that him and the RR team can dig us out of this?? Bar the Huggers of course........

In fairness there are quite a few people who believe that MON and the recruitment team have “got it right” or even done a good job in what these same people consider mitigating circumstances somehow.

I don’t but quite a large sample do - Pou, Gronk, emjaycee, joshuatheeel, Barry, TCT and many other posters on here.

the funny thing is I have heard that the club have given recruitment and retention a qualified pass due to the “mitigating” circumstance of having BA as the coach - I wonder if the huggers are giving MON and co a pass because they have also now changed their opinion on BA and feel he was holding us back?

I know some posters feel everyone is doing a good job and that this is the best a club like us could and should ever hope for, but I am sure others must now either abandon their past blind defence of BA or admit we have got R and R wrong.

The law often reminds us: facts are stubborn things. Grouping me into this dribble was neither factual nor particularly wise. Let’s treat truth as more than just optional in the future, merkin.

50% of tickets this Sunday. All merch

Jim is desperate. I’ve never seen that before. Wow.

they won’t get 5000 to the game on Sunday. And it’s because of what he has done at the club.

keep using your big words with your uni degree Jim. But We are still last.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

this forum thrives on treating the truth as optional. Lean into it.

Anyone thinks MON and the RR team deserve a pass mark need to walk out the door with them.

Even with Bea Arthur gone and a new coach the standards of this club are truly appalling.

I always like when you use the word, merkin in a sentence. It doesn’t suit you but I still like it.

 

[Chins]

Week to week Garner shits on Liam Martin. If we are dumb enough to let him go you've done very well

I usually type the word merkin. I didn't that time.

 

[Capefish]

I’m not a big fan of Garner but he does have flexibility to move into the centres mid game in required
