How to continue to prove you’re an idiot

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you believe we havent offered TPAs, you are incorrect.

It’s the amount that matters, not whether we offer them.

If you think the NRL is a level playing field you are living in fairyland.

No you’re right, it’s Dorothy. Apologies

 

[Glenneel]

I don't think he ever was, tbh.

I'd prefer we spend that sort of money on outside backs, tbh.

Our pack is decent enough.

Especially with a couple of really good middles coming thru in Brown and Tulagi.

Listened to,TCT podcast , and they sort of mentioned they have interviewed Mark ONeil and would be on a Friday release. A thing that was noticeable , was MON had a ready made excuse, which don’t seem to apply to clubs like Dogs, Panthers, Roosters and Raiders. He apparently said a reason for the delays and hold up is that players would need to move, seriously , will be worth a listen on Friday to hear what’s actually asked and offered up.

Will a question be asked why we leave moves in the market till later
In the off-season and really failed to target rep players for the past 5 years or sol That’s what most fans desire to know.

Can you re type this in English?

Keaon is a gun but I think Souths need him more than we do.

Quote me, in 5 years Ryda Talagi will be one of the best middles in the game. Him and Tuivaiti will lead one of the best young packs in the game.

In the meantime we need outside backs

Correct , this is why I’d be reluctant to lose Russell at the very least he is very solid!!

16.20 mins:

"Of the chat to Mark O’Neil about the roster and we don’t want to pre-empt anything we spoke about. We’ll leave that till Friday, when we actually, have Mark, discuss what’s happening with our roster moving forward and the plans that they have in that direction."

26.33 mins

"Again, not too much news that’s coming out about that. And I think there’s a few things at play with regard to, do we sign one or two players. We spoke again with Mark about these sorts of decisions rather than a specific player, the sorts of decisions around what position, when you make decisions by those sorts of things"

Moale leaving is the final piece to the Keaon puzzle. He’s staying and will be upgraded for 2026 too. His preference was to stay put all along! He is taking a bit less than what he would get elsewhere too wants to stay loyal! I’m stoked.

Well done. He’s a top player.

I can cop that. Wouldn't have copped missing out to the Dragons, but loyalty is admirable.

Sure bruv….

Especially with a couple of really good middles coming thru in Brown and Tulagi.

By Tulagi I assume you mean Tuivaiti. Huge potential. But Teancum Brown? A year older than Tuivaiti and a long way behind. Brown is also behind Talagi who is three years younger and played a lot more reserve grade than him this year. Ryda Talagi is probably the best forward prospect in the club.

Nah he’s taken Souths for top dollar which is why the extension took so long. Even forced his mate Moale out of the club.

Sure bruv….

ffs

 

[Delboy]

So, what’s plan B , do,we have one ?

 

[lingard]

I know he has a bad rep on here, but I'm quite excited about Ryan Mattherson potentially stepping up and embracing JR's vision. At or near his best, he is a great player. This will add so much to our team. I'm stoked. One of my favourite players.

Went and watched the boys train this morning. Geez the facility is impressive. Samrani on the wing for what it’s worth.
