The Rumours Thread

[baggygreen man]

Has been frustrating having no 2nd tier all year

Still young enuff for Flegg which was run this year. Or as a development player is he not eligible for that format?

 

[dungay dragon]

anyone want to take a punt on next dragons signing, beyond Suli (assuming this to be done and announced when Manly are out of finals)

Reckoning we are sweating on everyone else falling off the Adam Elliott Train , and then get him dirt cheap..Seems to be our style..
Re Kikau , unless Hook can unlock this guy to extra involvement in matches at his exorbitant asking price , thinking Elliott and say McLean from the Cowboys may be better value
Ray Stone from the Eels is another worth thought at value

Can't see it mickey because of the Mbye signing.
Before he signed I would have thought so but not now.

The chooks Sam Verriles has received a 2 match suspension due to his high tackle on a Titan player in the weekend’s games .

SHOCKED

SHOCKED

Don't start me on this.
Lead with his shoulder and got him flush in the face and the outrage....how dare they not be lenient.
They got away with a couple of other shoulder charges with late wrapping action by Crichton or Radley.
It was OK to rub Ravs out for 4 weeks for a hit in the belly button...."yes thats a shoulder charge" on NRL 360.

Rava was made a scape goat, if his hits were shoulder charges under the rules then the rules are stupid and need to be changed. The Rule was bought in to stop Sunny Bill hitting blokes in the head!!

Whispers that the Eels may clear out some of their deadwood at season’s end . My money is that Griffin may have a close look at just who will be available over that way.

Harry and SGMax - just how damn useless are those sods are at the judiciary ?

You can bet your next Lotto winnings that they were given very strict guidelines as to just what constituted a shoulder charge and any other foul play by the NRL - paying particular attention to the competition strugglers .

What annoys the hell out of me is that Ravawala has no spite in his game compared to other more prominent players . Yet because of his damaging tackling , he has now become a marked man - which is totally uncalled for.

With Gould the latest to offer an opinion saying he shouldn’t have been charged

Broncos or Raiders at this stage.

We have great history in taking their deadwood in Norman and Alvaro. Can we sell them Alvaro back!

Perhaps they would take him as a down payment on Paulo ?

Yep just watched NRL360 struggle to believe they think he was hard done by and because it is semi-final time he shouldn't be suspended. Benny Alias carried on like a pork chop defending him. So much for ex players and their expert opinion the video is there for all to see all us supporters want is some consistency.

 

[Trifili13]

And where was the outrage for Rava when he missed 5 weeks for tackling someone around their waist?

So sick of the hypocrisy of the NRL. They are ruining the game. Slowly but surely. The NRL are hand puppets, for Murdoch.

I was outraged if that counts

That had tobe the biggest blunder, NRL history. I can't believe that we just copped that sweet....

Benny Elias & expert opinion in the same sentence LOL
The bloke is a dribbler & rent a quote merchant.

Did balmain proud at the Leagues club site as well , still in ruins and bankrupted the club all for his own personal benefit
