Rumours and Stuff

f**k the rest of the comp

 

[Legal Eel]

I've detected from alot of Popou posts he is actually an eels fan

Fake news - he’s a Pou fan, there are a few such cultists in these parts.

 

[Noise]

So you advocate just blocking his return to the game?

He is welcome to return in 2029

There is only one club

That stands at dawn and dusk

Loving the unrequited Eels posts

To Eels 2026

 

[Parrapat]

For anyone who follows

 

[Parrapat]

To Eels 2026

Eels 2026?

 

[Suitman]

Eels 2026?

Quoting yourself? Again?
Go to bed Pat. Before it gets ugly.

I’m in Pou land in Canberra for Summernats.

Holy f**k it’s hot. Jesus.

He was already close to 1m at the Roosters, I don’t think he’s that impactful for that kind of money

Id happily punt Iongi for him. He would kill it at fullback

 

[hindy111]

Controversial, but I think certain centres are worth that coin - Crichton, and Farnworth, being the two that spring to mind.

Id probably take C.Mclean over them tbh. He is 19 and already top 6 centre in game.

Oh we have no money. We upgraded Tago, Kutoago and Doorey and added Kelly. 2 million has dissapeared.

 

[Noise]

You could say that about most Sydney clubs compared to the likes of Melbourne and Brisbane.

We also have a bunch of borderline Origin players who would play Origin when the team is going well and not when it isn’t.

Who are our bunch of borderline players?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We also have these players? Is this just recycled post from one of your previous defensive stints?

We've still got Paulo and Matterson, plus these merkins are borderline Origin players. By this I mean they would be a chance if the team was playing well, and some incumbents were unavailable:

JAC
Penisini
Hopgood
Williams

Da Silva is potentially a future Origin player as well. I don't think merkins realise how good he is for his age. Matt Arthur is good for a 20 year old dummy half, and TDS is streets ahead.

TAGO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA UPGRADE HAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ONLY THE f**k KNUCKLE TWINS JIMMY AND MON COULD DO THAT.

Why would you think we have a $2M hole to start with? We signed or extended all these merkins since the end of the 2024 season:

There's a lot more activity in the left hand column than the right.

 

[hindy111]

So 15 on the list are NSW cup players. Majority of rest wouldn't scrape into most sides. Russel, Kutaoga,Morreti,Tulagi for example. And two have left. They'd all be cheap

Probably not too controversial. I do think Herbie probably commands close to a million he is alot better as a player than Crichton though.Who probably gets that due to winning comps at the riff.
