Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

Ding dong, the warlock's gone.

BREAKING: Todd Greenberg resigns as NRL CEO

Maybe we will get some positive forward direction now.

Not the time to chill, Phil
Give us your plan, man
Now hop on the bus Gus
And lets see you stand.

Good let’s get that loss out of the way

Good let’s get that loss out of the way

this Parra team on paper is arguably their best since the early 2000s, they should beat us with ease. We all know how much they flop under pressure though

I still think anything less than a GF qualifier for this Parra team is a failure

I was keen for JAC to come over, but with this latest incident, he is turning into a bit of dickhead.

Hanging out with Latrell seems to do that to people. He seems grounded if he just minds his own business in Melbourne

One thing for sure is Adds would be shitting bricks the next conversation he has with Bellamy.

I picked up a bit of a clue about a year or two ago listening to him being interviewed for the NTV footy show " Over The Black Dot" ...haven't quite seen him the same way since. He was asked what he liked away from football...included among his short list was " sluts" (with laughter)...i thought i was hearing things untill i saw the repeat later in the week...that it went pretty much unnoticed on late night NTV probably saved him a bit of grief...i wasn't offended by what he said ...just astounded at his stupidity for saying it during a TV interview. ..terrific player but seems he has a bit of boofhead in him.

 

[benched tiger]

It never ceases to amaze me how f##king stupid these footballers are, I just hope Madge has a no dick head policy at the club.

 

[The unknown]

Never in doubt. Such a likeable player

NGL I’ll probably have a soft spot for Melbourne this year just to see this guy carve up under Bellamy

Crikey, how long ago does 2008 seem when we had all those teams of the Century, there were a few great Lithographs made of both the Tigers and Magpies Teams Of The Century plus the combined one and then there were the Limited Edition Jerseys which were worth big $$$ pre Provid-19

Those names for the combined team Paul Sironen , Wayne Pearce Ben Elias Steve Roche were ringing in my ears 30 odd years ago and Brasher but to a lesser extent..Someone here said Brasher deserved more acknowledgement as a Great well he got into the main team ..(No Garry Jack) I don’t know any of the others except Carawa I’ve seen him play on you tube during our healthy discussion on here recently so I know he was exceptional..apart from that noone..apart from Tommy R and Beetson who were before my time .. If I had to pick one it would be Sironen..He was 115kg big for back then.

just found this ...Geez Jason Taylor’s destructive influence went beyond the team ...I didn’t know this..Tell me one player who wouldn’t have shut the fk up and listened if Sironen was talking ..Maybe I’m just guessing

His star signs (sorry) indicate he was a strong communicator too. Taylor wouldn’t have liked that

I was keen for JAC to come over, but with this latest incident, he is turning into a bit of dickhead.

Yeah, he was already going to be quite expensive, but now he's coming across as someone who doesn't have his head screwed on properly.

 

[Leigh Howlett]

Well it seems his asking price is now under the 80% the players were after, would have loved to see him back home but after his I'm not so sure,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yeah he can go to $ouffs now for all I care , such a shame I loved the bloke , he even made me follow the Storm just to watch him do his stuff .
I can only imagine his career declining from here on in if he looks to Latrene as some kind of role model. Josh was always very down to earth and his attitude has changed dramatically over the last 12 months and not for the better .. I wont go into his background but he is getting dragged back into a lifestyle he worked his way out off

 

[Magpies Forever]

Everything indicates JAC is Souths bound when he can. He has been caught twice by police in the inner city- Glebe & Forest Lodge doing unwise things.


I cant get to the original article in the Daily Telegraph as its behind a paywall.

I suspect he has already fallen in with a South Sydney mob that is happy to use him up. JAC was never coming back to WT.

 

[macnaz]

Yep " use him up" wake the f**k up Josh !!

And today has another article on the 'mates' and their adventuresome boys club

https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/l...a/news-story/650351dab2d8e65f80ebdde0206c86f7

Man, they're just part of a juvenile boys club. Never expected them to be Rhodes scholars but this accumulation of boys club behaviour certainly makes me think we dodged a bullet with LM and JAC would seem to be of same attitude.
