Rumours and Stuff

[Avenger]

I love the frisson of the aggro between hineyrulz and Gronk!

There’s always a common denominator on these forums. He’s like that dumb German merkin Sgt. Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes — thinks he’s in charge and that people actually respect him.

 

[hineyrulz]

Frisson is a good word. Underused in here.

Is that a fancy word for bald???

No I think it’s a breed of cat

Bald cat???

Dogs and Wahs being found out.

Robinson with a State of Origin forward pack, wallably centre and nsw #2 fullback still struggles to make the 8.

No one ever attacks Robo why? is he some sort of NRL saint?

They will when the alpha no longer supports him

Without wanting to start a sort of riot within the anti-Irish commentariat let's review our retention and recruitment achievements since we exorcised the last of the Arthurs:

Isaiah Iongi - Outstanding attack. Will be better for experience in defence
Ryley Smith - Young gun coming through from Panthers turned to ours supplemented with the best of the Tigers in Tallyn Da Silva. Two of the best young gun 9s in the comp.
Lomax - Australian winger. Champion
Jack Williams - terrible hands yet selected for NSW under Ryles

We let go a whole bunch of stragglers and salary cap chokers:

The King
RCG
Matterson
Lane
Cartwright

On the whole I'd say Mark O'Neil has got the balance right.

I know it's a contentious point on this forum but there's a thousand news articles like those on on Bedji and the Tigers which clearly demosntreate the coach sets the tone for recruitment.

Also the resigning of Moses and a number of younstas e.g sam, etc

And the no signing of dyl bro that's a big one.

By this I mean if you read all the news on the Tigers RR it's clear that Benji has stated what he wants and Richo has gone after Benji's selections. There's been a lot of argument on this forum that the coach has nothing to do with squad selection like it's representative tier like NSW vs QLD yet even in that stratosphere the coach always sets the paramaters for who he wants in his team.

It's become clear that MoN is not responsible for the debacle under Brad Arthur. MoN has delievered us the best 9 going round and we only missed by a whisker on Galvin.

No, this stuff.

Oh gotcha. That illustrates why you are so invested in pushing the morality that underpins the system that benefits you so much. I understand, because I benefit from it too, but plenty of people would be happier under a less materialistic system. Those systems all require moral codes that don't elevate individualism the way yours does. In conclusion, I point out your privilege to illuminate the conflict of interest. We shouldn't get to dictate morality to the less privileged.

He has won three premierships. At what point has he proved his chops?

 

[King-Gutho94]

I think Richo is giving Benji the keys and rope to hang himself

So Benji doesn't have an excuse when Richo sacks him in 12 months.

Richo has almost deliberately given him everything he asked for even if its at the detriment of the club in the long term.

You don't reckon Benji asked him to keep Galvin?

The HoF does the coach's bidding.

 

[Parrapat]

You argued before that the coach has nothing to do with recruitment let alone whether the squad should take a bus or drive individually to a grand final and left it all to the "team Management"

 

[Parrapat]

He's had premiership winning squads for decades yet his premiership to nothing ratio is shot.

Robo is Brad Arthur tier coaching but with Tony Robbins spin for the press.

Bang on.

My point is Richo is giving Benji the team he wants.

The coach DOES set the squad.

Other than Paul Kent said so,.......can you give me an example of what Benji asked for that Richo has given him to the detriment of the the club?

Luai signing? Terrell May? Turuva? KPP? Api?

You can feel the existential angst of Dylbro having to let go of an easy run in Parra for a foreign away place in Newcastle.

He's got a contract that sees him out as a millionaire each year for the next 11

Are you saying Benji fought to keep Galvin and De Silva?

Imagine having a contract to make 1 million plus for ten years no matter what

"Its become clear"? I've heard everyone on this forum laugh at the Tigers for offering Galvin $6M over 5 years. Which part of that $6M was the Tigers not trying to keep Galvin?

Tigers wanted to keep TDS as well but prioritised a bloke who is definitely top two hookers in the world at the moment and have better than TDS coming through.

Just because Paul Kent says so doesnt make it true. In fact the opposite is more likely.
