Rumours and Stuff

Paps has also retired

He never actually retired. I agree with Hindy111 , he’ll go back to the Storm

Fairly sure I heard them talking on the radio tonight on SEN (Michelle Bishop) that he has retired.

Paps talked about getting his bell wrung during the Broncos game.

"In a shock reveal, Papenhuyzen also explained he believes he is now retired from rugby league."

He thinks he’s retired??

He thinks he’s retired??

Depends how much money R360 offers him.

While the NRL may or may not want to get involved in the lomax issue

Meanwhile the farcical nonsense about there side in PNG continues.

CEO and Chairman both gone yet PVL thinks there on track.

On top of the rule changes they seemed to have lost the plot completely this off-season.

PVL must be going as bad on the punt as me lately @Cumberland Eel

Vlandys is no better than Greenberg - a politician, dressed in a sports administrator's clothing.

Think I’d prefer having Jigsaw force a rusty drill through my ears

PVL has been great for the sport he has his flaws and his ego can get out of control at times like we have seen recently.

But Greenberg was as useless as Gallop and Dave Smith.

PVL is still 100 lengths ahead of them and what they did for the game even for these baffling calls recently.

Look at Cricket Australia now under Toddy Greenberg watch and see it plunder to the gutter selling its soul & property to Indian investors for a quick buck

Will ruin the summer of cricket forever once IPL owners get there claws into Australian domestic cricket will flow into the International summer.

Storm are in 1-3 of HQ favourites, we are in 15-17.

Yes Broncos, Roosters & Storm in that order and the rest 15-17.

Read this on Facebook, Jim needs to make sure he remains tough after his statement last week


2009 - Parra lose grand final to a team cheating the cap. Parra get nothing

2013 - NRL block Israel Folau’s attempt to sign with Parra.

2016 - NRL strip parramatta of their premiership points due to salary cap breaches. Sharks win the grand final and are also found to have cheated the cap, but are issued a fine.

2020 - Michael Jennings is suspended on the day of an elimination final. You’re telling me they didn’t know any earlier?

2022 - Taylan May has his suspension deferred so that he can play a final against Parra. This was unprecedented and hasn’t happened since.

2026 - NRL assist Melbourne in signing Zac Lomax, despite contractual terms preventing this which were agreed upon when Parra granted the release.

f**k the NRL.

You forgot 2017, ref screws Eels so Cam Smith can celebrate winning in the finals game when he beats record for most games played. Greenturds love child plus Cam's wife gets expensive diamond ring. Another first probably never repeated again (the ring not the game result).

 

[Glenneel]

For the record, even though we gained from Moses leaving the Tigers, I hate when any player walks away from a contract.

It was a really shitty thing that he did to the Tigers, and even though he's now an Eel, it still doesn't sit totally right with me.

But Moses didn't break a 4 year contract. He was one of Tigers big 4 who was leaving at end of season so released early. Was this Cleary and he criticised the players for leaving the bus and he also hopped off the bus, while driving, a few years early in his contract!?

 

[Glenneel]

Gee I hope the Roosters find someone to replace him.

Absolutely tragic. Poor Roosters. PVL better do something for them now! Maybe cap dispensation to help them sign players. Wait....hang on.

 

[Glenneel]

He kicked 2 goals. Missed 9 tackles. 2 runs for a total of 6m. Never got tackled. in 80minutes. This was against Souffs who were rubbish and missed the 8. One of the most obvious and disgusting things Ive seen of a football field. how you could look a team mate in the eye after that is beyond me. Defines him.

What, you're whinging about his tackling? None of the Tigers could tackle but Moses went from an extremely poor tackler to one of the better ones for a half in a couple seasons at Eels. Even got tackle of the year in 2022 when he smashed Kenny Bromich. Would never of got that at the Tigers!

 

[Tiger5150]

I could go through the stats and find similar poor performances from 16 other players in that game, it's what happens when you only score 1 try and let in 5.


*EDIT* 1 tigers forward ran for over 100m, no tigers forward threw an offload, of the 14 tackle breaks 10 came from Tedesco and Nofoaluma. Chris Lawrence had 6 missed tackles and 3 ineffective for a tackle efficiency of around 76%.

Looks like it was 16 poor performances, Tedesco appeared to have a good game comparatively. It's just easy and convenient for tigers fans to lay blame to 1 player.

Mate, I was there, using the eye test. he tanked. Digusting. Even his uncle called him out

 

[Tiger5150]

Sure, but imagine if we went the the NRL and said, "Sorry, the Storm team has been illegally assembled and we refuse to play them...". Won't happen but it would be a big "f**k you" to the NRL for getting involved when they shouldn't be.

How would they be illegally assembled? He can only play foe Storm if Parra let him or he challenges the Contract in court. Both would be legal.

 

[Gronk]

f**k Storm

Nope, his defence didnt bother me (although its a demonstration of his lack of effort). His gutless hiding in attack disgusted me (2 runs for 6m and no PTB in 80mins). Weak gutless and the definition of the person he is. his team mates should have not let him in the dressing room.

Good player though.

But it all worked out for the best.
