Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Nutz]

1. Bula
2. Skelton
3. Turuva
4. Olam
5. Lauilili
6. Galvin
7. Luai
8. May
9. Korisau
10. Klemmer
11. Fainu
12. Seyfath
13. Pole
14. Twal
15. Hunt
16. Bird
17. TDS

Obviously a few guys could be swapped around but to me that team should absolutely be challenging for the 8.

I just wet my pants.

 

[Nutz]

No doubt it’s us or the dogs but I never like our chances when we r competing with the dogs for a decent player as they have a massive advantage with the Laundy family’s largesse a huge factor in luring players to Belmore

Yep and throw in their coach and Gould. They are a club who are getting the old Bulldog culture back.
I feel for their supporters when one of their players let them down just when they are on the rise.
What am I talking about, feeling sorry for the dogs...no way hosé

 

[Nutz]

I just wet my pants.

I think you were the one advocating Turuva at fullback wasn't it?
If it does happen for injury or form it's a win win situation.
Having depth in the spine is essential hey.
Fullback Bula, Turuva
½,⅝ Luai, Galvin, Fainu
Hooker Api, Da Silva

Damn, that wet spot had just dried and now it's happened again. Wilmarrrrrh, yabbadabbadoo.

 

[Tigerm]

If we can get May I honestly give us a decent shout at the 8 next year. I’m actually pretty shitty we went and got Hunt now as May suits us a lot more than he does.

My guess is we’re in with a shot but dogs would be favorites. I’d be surprised if he went dragons unless they came in with stupid money.

I’ll be happy with both. Hahaha

JAC is heading to the eels?

13th On the basis of @macnaz ‘s clutch game theory.

1. Enter last game of the season as unbackable favourites.

2. Play a side missing 4 of their stars at least.

3. Us at full strength less Api who is under suspension for something stupid.

4. Get flogged by 30+ mostly our own fault. Dropped balls and bad passing.

5. Go from vying for 8th ( tied with 3 sides) to 13th within 80 minutes.

As sure as night follows day.

But we need May, failure is not an option.

I don’t want to get to far a head of myself.
But how will we cope, if we start the comp with wins in the first 5 games hahaha
Been that long, I’m not sure if that is even possible anymore.
But with May and the team stays healthy, top 8 would be beckoning.

Remind me to take you to the horse races next time TSP

By my reckoning, 5 wins in the first 5 games would be otherworldly and could be a bad omen.

Something dark, slimy and in the 8th dimension, a shapeless unseen evil suffocating the white elephant.

The spell so alighted from the stormers or some other heartless team of grimace and perpetual rugby league torture.

Bring it on.

There’s still a chance for Bud to return?

I stole the formula from @macnaz.

Of the hundreds of footy classes he’s tried to hold, where we’ve all been at the back throwing paper aeroplanes, I recall just one of his classes where I sat in the front row and listened for a change.

I lost track again when he started back on about this A and B defender nonsense.

I wonder if @Tigerm can still make those animal grunting sounds he used to make at Assemblies?

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Shhh…

One of my panther spy’s thinks Cleary could be off to Rugby Union once smug is over.

There’s still two years of smug left as I understand it.

He’d do well there and enjoy many new experiences.

Well, they've had a fantastic run, but it's over now.
They can't do it with our man, plus they've lost too many others, it has to take affect eventually.
Rugby is a much gentler game; he'll go well in it.

 

[Tigerm]

I have never seen this guy's posts before, so I don't know how legit it may be.
But it's got my juices flowing hahaha

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Well my panther spy also told me this morning that In his view and even amongst some fair minded Panther insiders, that as a play maker, Luai was in fact being held back by Cleary.

It wasn’t said as a slight on Nate, not at all, just a cold hard fact.

That’s why it deserves some credence.

And it wasn’t said to curry any favour with me.

I think there’s a few extra drops to squeeze from the lemon.

But I still have a good laugh when I picture the ambition of the dogs to over-smug them.

Regrettably the Panthers era was indelibly tainted by the selection of Tyrone May a convicted pervert who abused women.

And you revisit the period and the number of their fans who tolerated it, blew me away.

Turned a blind eye to the horror.

 

[Shredder]

There is some interesting stuff going on, thats for sure.

We have one spot for next year, hopefully for May.

What I find most interesting is us trying to offload Douehi and Sullivan. Surely if we are being so proactive above this we must have other signings waiting? We cant go into January players short. Zero interest in Sullivan out there, but the dragons might take Douehi if we chip in.

I would happily play their entire freight to have them both far away from our grade team.

I have a feeling Bird plays center for us, were skinny there.

Honestly, if we get May thats probably our best recruitment session for some time, if not ever.

Its going to come down to the coaching next year. Hopefully Hodgo helps

 

[Tiger05]

The squad is fine. The coaching staff are the risk.

Agree, but do we get these new signings without Benji?
