Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Would we be happy to contribute let's say $150 k to get rid of matterson next year giving us another $500k for a decent player? Also clearly he doesn't wants hands at the club and while he would not be on much he still takes a top 30 roster spot and maybe contribute to getting rid of him , Gus would do it hopefully we have men of the same calibre running the club

Every club needs backups. You can’t have 30 top 17 players ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Its literally a graph of your top 30 players (plus development) last year. How more accurate could it be?

If it's from last year, how useful is it?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

As of March 1 2024.
Fail.

ffs

We already have Moses, Lomax and the New Zealand 5/8. I make that 3 x elite players, 2 more than the Dogs. We just need a better draw and consistent refereeing brought about by a better media presence pushing our cause.

We have the juniors and now we clearly have the coaching squad to deliver a premiership in the next 3 years.

Are you saying that a team including players like Viliame Kilkau, Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, and Max King, only has one elite player?

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Not a fan especially for 600k on potential..

When you are a bottom of the ladder club you don't buy players based on potential.

When your bottom of the ladder that exactly what you do … we gunna have to take a few risks

A 1+1 deal for JDB obviously reflects on where the coach thinks we are at with kid middles right now.

I might just shelf my opinions of his not guilty self for the time being. Safe to say that my cheers will be tepid at best.

So Pou you're happy with matterson on $650k a year in reserve grade ? Glad your not running my finances

Burton and King are about as elite as Paulo, Hopgood and Williams.

I was talking about Brendan Hands.

For the life of me I simply cannot get a Like button. I have tried Brave, Firefox, Edge, Chrome and Opera with and without VPN and attempted to accept everything and anything in terms of cookies and all sort of internet violations yet I still can't get a Like button.

I even searched for a browser with zero defense, something like the Wests Tigers under the astute coaching of supermentor Benji yet I can't get anything to let me have a Like button.

your browser has a built in add blocker, PM me and I can help you

Crichton is elite

The other 3 ain't IMO.

Kikau is a great player but still has mistakes

What has Burton actually done since Penrith other then put up some towering bombs.

King is a workman style plodder in a good system.

 

[Twizzle]

I thought it was reported as club option?

it was and I'm actually OK with this one, an above average player on a below average wage on a very short contract

I'm a bit the same after reading the interview with his so called rendezvous

That's how you stay at the bottom.

You spend extra for players that are successful and/or have good work ethic/experience that will bring the rest of your squad up to a good standard.

What's the JDB signing mean with the Luke Garner rumors? I doubt we have the space to accommodate both in the top 17? Unless Kelma is told he can POQ?

I would think that players like him, leaving a 3/4 peat club are looking for a reward contract. That's prolly not us.

I don't think we will sign Garner.

I think Kikau is definitely elite. He’s a huge big game player and a big part of their DNA. I think Crighton and Kikau are both elite. Agree on both the other points.
