Rumours and Stuff

[LyonHeart]

For those that have seen all three of these guys play, what’s the take on Teamcum Brown, Sam T, and Tony Mataele?
Obviously Sam is seen as NRL level, what about others?
Tony is in 2026 squad but not selected, injured?

If Teamcum Brown starts on Sunday and plays 80 min, he'll be on $500k by Monday

Leg speed, attitude* and passing a character check.

Ryles' 3 criteria for recruitment.

*this might be something else instead, I can't remember what he said.

28 in current squad.
Keeping 2 spots open for mid-season signings.
Areas to fill middle forward and outside back.

Recognise that Lomax leaving has left a gap.

Did they mention the location for the post GF win event for this year?

I hope the outside back is Purdue.

I hope the outside back is Purdue.

Mate… he’s dynamic 3/4

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He can attract top players though, that’s why he’s there

It looks like Souths never replaced Richardson as GM football, so that role has probably been split between the CEO and the head coach. Bennett probably does a lot of that GM work. He was at the club when Richardson resigned during Covid.

I never mentioned any names. Way to give yourself up f**kface.

I didn't mention any names either.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Can he drive the team bus to the GF or does he make them walk?

They're grownups. They can make their own way to work.

No chance. The bloke has played one game against grownups. Kautoga had played 43 games in NSW Cup and a couple in the NRL before coming to Parra.

Kane Evans was signed on back up money as a squad filler.

since when does a professional club sign a back up for 3 years?

One of the dumbest signings in eels history -

If the Bush coach was still here, Weirimu Greig would be the 17th man this weekend and Teancum washing cars for a living, because ba bushie would never admit he was wrong about a recruit, whilst the layman could see Werimu was going nowhere after 1 match.

The resident troll keeps quoting my posts but ignoring him is the best option. It’s truly liberating.

If he's still going to be good enough in three years for whatever role you need him for, why not? It's not like he was 30 and on the decline.

Arthur only picked Greig once in his last ten games.

Well that's good mate but I don't need you to reply. When I quote a post and comment on it, it's for everyone. Otherwise I would send you a PM or write on your MySpace page.

Please tell me that hope is infused with a hint of good oil…

Always dangerous to mention the last one. You just know there’s going to be someone who is too good a player to not worry about the character check if you can get them.
