Rumours and Stuff

Boyd is so f**king shit

That is simply complete garbage. The Reserve Bank has only one lever, monetary policy. They can simply only control reference interest rates and they do so to REDUCE inflation and therefore reduce the "systematic devaluation of spending power". The Reserve Bank is doing the opposite of what you are saying.


Mate you have no idea what you are talking about. The Reserve Banks policies dont encourage speculation. The Federal Governments policy of negative gearing does though.

The RBA could use that power to reduce inflation to zero. That would have its own consequences but it can. Garbage you say? Here’s a screenshot from their website. They literally say they have a ‘flexible inflation target’.

Crighton, Kikau and Tuala all gone for season as injuries turn out much worse than expected.

Souce : Fox League.

Government Fiscal policy impacts inflation by increasing the amount of money in the economy, Reserve Bank monetary policy reduces inflation by taking money out of the economy. When they do so, they INCREASE interest, incentivising savings and disincentivising speculation.

Reserve Bank removing money from the economy, to reduce inflation does NOT incentivise speculation.

NAS spends half the season either injured or suspended. Gives away penalties like he gets paid to do it.

No thanks.

And he's a cat.

No disagreement about fiscal policy on inflation and immigration on house prices.
I disagree about speculation and we can agree to disagree. But speak to anyone schooled in finance (myself included, professionally) and they will say the way to offset inflation is to invest (speculate) in growth assets.
I said the RBA had a ‘target inflation rate’. You said garbage and asserted I didn’t know what I was talking about. I showed evidence to the contrary directly from The RBA. Care to take back your assertion?

Look I am not a fan of Nelson, at all. But. If he came in all guns and ammo and we have a clear plan to bash some big teams for the opening 20mins I’m ok with it. I honestly, really trust Ryles.

Not suggesting Nas but an intimidating agitator in the middle would be great.

You?

I love Nelson. I really hope we get him. He is exactly what we need.

Remember, everyone on here was against signing addo carr....but look how it turned out.

Addo-Carr has never been a garbage human, though.

Good, that is the whole point

I didnt say it was garbage that RBA had a 'target inflation rate' I said your statement that " It is a systematic devaluation of spending power. Therefore, saving produces negative net returns for most people, after tax and inflation." is garbage and it is. The RBA literally increases interest, therefore increasing returns on savings and incentivising savings and literally increases costs on property speculation (increased interest rates).

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

They love your posts. Otherwise they’d block you. But because they’re spineless halfwits, they’d rather whinge incessantly and throw personal insults. That’s what cowards do.

And this isn’t a pro-Pou post, it’s an anti-turning this forum into a haven for whining bitches who are either too stupid to hit ignore or are gluttons for punishment post.

I’m not reading replies to this because I have no interest in engaging in this childish shit. Grow the f**k up and stop clogging this forum with utter shit.

Well said.

I dont get why people need to get agitated on a forum. It should be an outlet for discussion, and pou provides plenty of logic in his posts. I don't get why people can't scroll past and move on with thier lives if they don't agree...

Inflation, if caused by fiscal policy (which we agree it is), and is allowed to remain at 2-3% (as opposed to zero), then that is systematic and does reduce purchasing power. By your own argument, if the RBA raised rates to bring inflation to zero that would encourage even more savings, in risk free cash. I suggest (yep, I’m speculating) higher interest rates with zero inflation would reduce investment/speculation in shares, property, bitcoin, gold. (Virtually the whole basis of gold investing, for example, is to offset govt caused inflation).
On that point we disagree and neither of us will change so let’s leave it there…we’re arguing economics on a footy forum.

He got a grade three last year and missed the GF. He's also out for the rest of this year for being a naughty boy again. He's also got some prior form.

Wrong.
Not everyone on here was against his signing.

Yep plenty of us were very keen on JAC

 

[eels_fan]

If Ryles wants NAS then I support it, but something tells me with his team first mentality - he isn’t on our radar

 

[Suitman]

Indeed.
My gut feeling was that JAC would be a great signing because Ryles had worked with him before and would know how to give him his last chance and pull him into line.
Little did I know how disciplined Ryles would be as a coach this season and how much he would change our style of play to be more in line with successful clubs of years gone by.
It has been such a pleasant change to see Parra play modern day football this season instead of the continual tactics from 10 seasons ago that have bored us all to tears.

I honestly hope that Ryles doesn't have NAS on his radar.
Unlike JAC, NAS is beyond redemption imo.

 

[Avenger]

I’d take NAS if the Storm chipped in about a third of what he is on.

 

[King-Gutho94]

If you look at this wallabies crowd you can see how cool it looks if a lot of the crowd wears yellow/gold. We need to have a game the players and club promote that we all wear yellow shirts/jerseys.
We are the only RL team that can do this because yellow is by far the best color to use as it stands out like dogs balls and only the Eels have the yellow jersey.
It is lazy to not have brought this in years ago when I called for it.

How does a team lose a game scoring 4 tries to 1

What a garbage sport

At least when they crossed to the Argentinean girls in the crowd during the coverage made it more watchable.

That's fine.
I wouldn't want our club to go near him.
There's a reason why Bellamy wants to be rid of him.
