Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[TroyJax]

Doueihi is too slow for the backs and is too poor a defender for the forwards. He is a strong runner of the ball with a big boot, but this does not cover his deficiencies. He doesn't make the starting XIII of any serious NRL side. ESL is his calling.

…and all of this was true before his last two injuries.
Highly overrated for what he can actually do in first grade.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Then there’s his tendency to tackle side on rather than getting his body in front of ball carrier

the guys a total softcock in defence, im all for cutting him loose. moreso thinking if he hangs around where he could be useful.

What about Naden. He hasn't really set the house on fire. Surely we need to upgrade him, AD, and maybe Kepa.
Our crappy backline is going to hold us back for years. Our great forward pack that we've assembled is going to be wasted.
If we don't watch out they contracts will expire and they'll be off, gonesky, adios, farvel, afscheid, adieu, despedid, addio, paalam, aloha aloha, selamat tinggal, vale.

I know some won’t like this, but I don’t mind Kepaoa, he does cover forwards a backs reasonably well. You need depth.
Nadden is a mystery, since he was sent off, I haven’t really heard of him, so don’t know if he is hurt or just dropped.
I think Doueihi should go, can’t see him being the same again and he was dropping away even before then.

I don't dislike Kepaoa Tm, he tries hard but I think as you said... he's a depth player which we have too many of.
Our NRL backline is like a KOE side.
We are always going to struggle with just average first graders.

Yeah, but not too many can cover the back row, that I’m aware of?

I also note with AD, he is back training, which is good for him, though I still hold with my thoughts about his future here.

 

[The Rosco]

Not sure what you mean mate ?

Hey Gordsy . . . the good old Catholics cop it unrestrained from all corners.
Of course, some of them deserve some of it.
It's open slather for whatever the left don't like, but it's illegal to criticize anything they are fond of.
I don't like the left. I've always hung to the right.
To try and respond to your post . . . let's say the woke society of NSW opens a school that is specifically gay or trans centred. It's publicly advertised that it's this particular type of school. If you understand that the teachings and philosophies of the school will be in that vain . . . . and you choose to send your kid there . . . . well, you can't get upset when their way of thinking doesn't align with yours. You knew it was a school that thought that way. You were'nt forced to send your kid there. It's a bit rank of someone to complain about the principles of a school that they chose for their kid, when they full well knew those principles beforehand.
Still respect you Gordsy ole mate !

I lost you at “hey Gordsy”, then I fell away when you were going to a trans school. hahaha

 

[gordsy]

I agree with ya Rosco, it's a bit to rich to want to get the snobbiness factor on the c.v and better education catholic schools often provide without the rest of it. You get pick the gravy without the grief haha

When I was at Trans school with @The Rosco he always got into trouble for wearing the wrong school dress.

Nobody was sure what bathroom to use either.

Fair enough. The club’s done the right thing by him when they extended his contract. That lifeline will allow him to recover from injury, but after that there shouldn’t be any special favours.

You’re right about his build too. He’s definitely got that awkward body shape that makes him hard to tackle as a centre.

I’m glad Kepaoa got a run in the backrow. His positioning on the wing is terrible, but now that we’ve seen he can do a job in the backrow, it’s like we’ve got our own Wish version of Luke Garner.

Dobbing at that school would be frustrating.

Teacher- Who did that?

TSP - It was them sir

Teacher - Who?

TSP - They did it

Teacher - Who? be clear boy!

The Daily Telegraph reported the Roosters are set to offer 35-year-old Jennings a chance to resurrect his NRL career three years after he last played for the Eels in 2020.

I don’t think, even we would entertain something like this?
He’s 35? Maybe Benji could be captain/ coach? Lol

 

[gordsy]

Didn't his ex win a civil suit for sexual assault ? Hard to wave the women in league round flag and all that when you let grubs like this back into the game.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

@The Rosco missed first grade cheerleading and had to settle for footy.

Shamed the whole class.

Back up there tsp.
First up, I may be a lot of things . . . and maybe set to become even more things . . . but I can guarantee that trans won't be on the list.
The only thing you'd go trans for would be having your own 24hr 'giny.
And as for cheerleading . . . well, short skirts ain't my strong point either.
But I'm touched that you think of me that way.

 

[Ned Kelly]

Friggin Awesome !!!!

The Tigers are certainties to get two points in the first round of next season.

Top 8 as we head into round 2.

We start with a bye. How good is that?

The last thing you want is to be touched by Silverdale.

My excitement was short lived when I realised we will be 9th.
Bugger!
