Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

When did I sook about not signing him? But go on, tell us again how we won’t be able to pay Smith and TDS. Dumb merkin

It's just less we can spend elsewhere in the roster. How's our 6 looking next year?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

True Pou can get in there real good

I scratch the balls of your mind.

I'd suggest we are paying overs for quite a few merkins right now, which is why we've only won five games.

All those big 4 year deals really have bit us on the arse huh??? One esteemed and great judge of talent on here said as much. He's got an 85% better strike rate than you.

We can’t be paying overs. The options mean we got them all really cheap

It's what the smart clubs do mate.

 

[Avenger]

Don’t be surprised if we go all out for Tino.

 

[Soto]

Most teams have 2 hookers in their rotation.

Raiders will have 3 next season ffs..

This

Was thinking he would be a great signing when watching him play in that rabble the Titans...
Somehow think he will be the marquee signing for the Bears

Just a thought or hearing things from little birdies?

Having a Tino on your shoulder would be very exciting!!

They're great if you want a long, comfortable retirement but don't want to leave anything to your kids. f**k that. I plan to freeze to death in my sleep before I turn 75.

Ok, this might suit me, as I have no dependents to leave anything to.

Yeah we should’ve known they’d all shit themselves by the age of 30. Or 25 in the case of Dylan Brown.

 

[Chipmunk]

TDS has played 22 NRL games. By the same age (20 years, 70 days), Smith had played 23 games and Grant zero.

How many would Grant have played if Smith wasn't at his club or he went to the Tigpies at the age he went to Melbourne though?

That’s fine mate. Mine are happy to pay extra taxes after you stop paying yours.

More to the point, why was he happy not to get paid top 17 money when he was good enough?

I depend on you.

Interesting take given the length of TDS contract

It just means we got them cheaper than if there was no option at all. But they are playing worse than expected, so they would be on overs. It’s unders if they play better than expected. This is because contracts are negotiated based on expected value. Not because merkins can see the future.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Interesting take given the length of TDS contract

He is on overs up front rather than at the end of his contract, which for some reason is just fine.
