The Rumours Thread

I live at Cronulla- the Shire is a great place except for the people that live there

well said, i take it you meant to say the other people that live there.

I always remember my old man saying that he had the opportunity to buy a large block of land up at Ocean Beach for 15 pound - yes pounds way back .

They , mum and dad , were on their honeymoon and the old boy was flushed with a bit of dough at that time and could had bought it there and then . However being just married he decided to put the money away for a house .

Over the years he said how he regretted that decision as he often would say “ Oh gaz if only I had bought the bluudy thing our Iives would had been so much easier “ .

The place was a bit of a playground for me when I was a young hoon as I and my mates use to quite often go there on weekends . So I certainly envy your choice jak.

gareth you poor old bastard showed the wife your post and just to make you feel better she said her parents bought a water front at toukley for 300 pounds i'm at charmhaven on the lake but paid a little more than 300 pounds,but you have to be charming to live here.

I'd be into that.
Im sure amongst us there are some very colourful travel stories.
I've never been anywhere super out of the ordinary but did spend a week alone on business in Taipei. Funnily enough the locals didn't speak English but the older generation all spoke Japanese. I was living in Japan at the time so I was able to converse in Japanese with anyone over 50.
Great dumplings.

Well . . . I worked in England as a porter in a seaside hotel back in the ‘70s , bow tie etc. and the lads took me up to London one weekend to some posh club . After a few pints I had to have a leak so I walked in , saw the porcelain cisterns against the wall and let it flow , so to speak .

A chap walked in and looked at me and said “ how bloody disgusting “ , well I had no idea what he was on about and he just shook his head and walked out . Of course I then turned around and behind me was a stainless steel trough - I was actually pussing into the hand basins ! ( Which were designed the same as the white single pee- basins we have nowadays here in Oz )

I believe that may had been the reason that I never received an invitation to Harry’s and Megan’ s wedding ? ?

The rumours of him returning to the NRL won't go away- assuming he can gain registration. I for one woudn't mind him being our full-back- tall, strong and brilliant under the high ball. Dufty is heart attack material with his penchant to let the ball bounce and the alternatives ( Schiller and Ramsay) are promising but untried kids.

Opinions?

No give our youngsters a go, we have a couple of potential good ones coming along.

 

[Mjab]

Great football talent but brainless
Too much potential drama , best left in limbo
I got the impression a lot of rugby peers were fed up with his antics and were glad to be rid of him

Why can’t the club pay Billy Slater to mentor Dufty
That’s a better solution

 

[muzby]

He can go to hell.

 

[redv13]

He’ll end up at roosters for 250,000 a season

 

[aussie7798]

Folau can f**k off

 

[Splinters]

Doesn't like sodomy. So that's got to be a no from me.

 

[Brutalitops]

Don't knock it til you try it I always say

 

[Brutalitops]

Also keep Folau far away from the club. And the NRL preferably

Ramsey and Schiller are yet to play a game in first grade and with not Canterbury Cup games being played right now, it would be a big call to compare either one of these players to Falou.

I would love to see Falou signed for the next 3 years. It is time our management team look to form a winning roster full of the best possible talent, rather than a mediocre squad who struggle to compete week to week.

A healthy mix of talanted juniors and about 3 marquee players is the way to go. If we put Falou in our back 5, and two new marquee players in our forward pack and with a good new coach, we would give the 2021 competition a good shake. Just imagine a backline of:
1. Falou
2. Ramsey
3. Lomax
4. Feagai
5. Schiller
6. Dufty
7. Clune

So much youth, speed and strike power. Our fans would truely be entertained by this lot.

 

[dragon thomo]

Good back line Possm but i hope young Sullivan will end up at half if he is as good as predicted. Also i still would like to see Ramsey have a go at fullback.

 

[Willow]

He renegged on an agreement with rugby union, took his former bosses to court. I'd say the NRL would be very unlikely to open the door for him.

Where are these rumours?
