Rumours and Stuff

But but but it’s the sporting capital of Australia?

It’s definitely the food capital of Aus. I have been eating like a King down here.

The Storm are interested cause they know they can get a cheap deal. The numbers thrown around were 350-400k. Thats a big difference to the 700k he was going to be on here in 26.

If he was still here, he'd be worth it. He averaged nearly 200m per week and played Origin ffs. He's a gun.

I don’t know if it’s the same in Sydney but my experience in Melbourne is that AFL isn’t a prominent thing that gets discussed. I thought I might have to fake support a team but with a full season under my belt I don’t think that is necessary.

Maybe it’s a big city thing as I’m sure there are lots of people in Sydney that couldn’t give a f**k about the NRL.

What I’ve experienced with league in Northern NSW, Brisbane, Cairns, Newcastle and Canberra (all of the places I have lived in since Sydney as a child) is that it is adored and supported in ways that I haven’t seen with the AFL.

When it was Origin day in I would see so many people come to work in Brisbane with their jersey on.

Not an AFL expert but there have been some disturbingly low scoring contests in recent years. Has their product gone further down the shitter?

I was invited to a game at the MCG last year. I tried hard to be gracious and positive but it was as boring as f**k.

I've tried punting on the AFL and most of the games have an underdog paying at least $5

Ffs. This is why shows like everybody loves Raymond went 10yrs

Yeah I used to watch it through your window. With no pants.

His shed doesn’t have any windows so I call bullshit.

It's actually not.
Although they like to think they are.

Well he started the bullshit. His shed doesn't have a TV either.

Does poor zac have no income, 3 mil plus mortgage and now lawyer fees

 

[Gary Gutful]

I’ve eaten a shit load of food in each city and lived there as well.

Have gone off the beaten track eating feeds at top rated restaurants in both cities. Melbourne wins on food, but I prefer Sydney overall as a city.

He may have some sponsorships that give him an income still. Would be nothing near what his footy earnings would be though.

So their salary cap is working about as well as the NRL’s then?

Do Dummies books still exist?

Probably…but I doubt he could read one.

I can’t remember the last time I saw such a one sided reaction on social media than the anti Lomax sentiment. Even the Bulldogs fans are on our side.

Went to watch the boys at Lennox today.

Everyone quite impressive. Few boys not training or limited involvement either due to limiting loading (Moses) or injury recovery (Moretti, Hoppy, Paulo, Riley).

Williams, Walker and Simo not present at all (know Simo had a baby a couple of days ago, but unsure on the other 2).

If I was framing our team based on what I saw today (and assumptions on some uninvolved players) in the field work and opposed runs

1. Iongi
2. Fox
3. Penisini (played inside fox all session)
4. Samrani
5. Russell
6. Pezet
7. Moses (wasn’t training but obvious choice)
8. Paulo (assumed only involved 10-20%)
9. Smith
10. Hopgood (as per Moses)
11. Kautoga
12. Kelma (though Williams my pick to slot in)
13. JDB

14. Walker (assumed)
15. TDS (looked super sharp as main 9 today)
17. Doorey - just looked super fit and focused
18. Tuivati
19. Joash (played 6 and looked good all session)
20. Guymer

Well those Bulldogs fans can f**k off.
I don’t want their support
