Squad succession

[Poupou Escobar]

I used the same excuse when the NSA asked me a few questions about my botnet.

 

[lingard]

The 'I can't control f**ken nitwits because I am a f**ken nitwit' excuse is the oldest trick in the book you f**ken nitwit.

True. But other f#ckin nitwits always fall for it.

 

[lingard]

Also, I was talking about nit-wits with hyphens.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You mean that flap of skin covering the vulva?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Misty Hyphen? The great Olympian?

 

[Bigfella]

What was her event? The 100 yard dash?

 

[Twizzle]

Misty Hyman was a swimmer, butterfly I think

 

[Bigfella]

Lol.

 

[Gronk]

U20's origin & Jnr Roo backrower rep Tyrell Fuimaono is training with the NRL backs.

[Poupou Escobar]

Apparently he's half Samoan.

[Bigfella]

Apparently Ryan Morgan had been spotted training with NRL players too.

So officially we have 41 merkins contracted for next year. Who will get the arse? That's the $82500 question.

 

[Utey]

Cheers Pou. Bye to Pauli or Paulo?

 

[Gronk]

Pauli, Morgan, De Gois might as well look for a club that will get them game time.

 

[phantom eel]

Pauli's as good as gone for this season, isn't he?

We won't re-sign all of our hooker options, so maybe De Gois to England in 2017? And Morgs is still our best backup centre on the books, unless we sign someone else ahead of him for 2017.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't forget 3 of the 41 are still eligible for NYC this year. Whatever that means.

 

[phantom eel]

Is NYC contracted for 2017...? Or is it getting the arse?

 

[Forty20]

I believe the TV deal for the NYC runs until the end of 2017. Not sure what they have in place for 2018 but at the very least you would expect a 20s equivalent to the District Rep program if not a real 21s/23s domestic Sydney competition.

Yeah I wouldn't think players will graduate from SG Ball straight into open age footy.

French and Twal have had their profiles removed from the official site, presumably moved to the NYC squad for this year. Fuimaono is still in the squad:
