The Rumours Thread

Just imagine if all the commentators and all of the player managers hated the Dragons. We would have b grade players in our squads. I mean even if we had great juniors and we want to keep them, if their managers hated us then we don't keep them.

This is the stupid thing about bloody Anasta and his hate of the Dragons probably just because we thrashed his Roosters team in the 2010 Grand Final.

Player Managers suck. They can muck your roster up so much. Managers in general just seem to have too much control over players, staff, coaches - crazy.

Welcome to pro sport. That is exactly the role of a manager, The commentators and PM's go hand in hand, otherwise they would have nothing to talk about without their intel PM's feeding them
PM's get to promote their players in the media to get $$ for their player and themselves especially when it comes to contract stage or even rep selection, but it comes at a cost, It is a perfect storm.
We all ask ourselves why does such player hit good form at the right time.

Maybe not. If he reads what comments are written in this forum about a player who has a poor game, he probably wouldn't come near the place!

Tell him not to have a bad game in the Red V then.

It’s gone from must keep to must go in the space of three months regarding Hunt.His performance against the top sides have put massive question marks on his kicking & general game management, and all for a million dollars. Surely Lam & Croft can do better?

Can’t come Croft.
He’s less than ordinary.

Yeah, for example get the player to say they're not cut out for rugby league and want to pursue a career in boxing, perhaps. Then you can pay out the player without an impact on the salary cap, only for said player to re-emerge 6 months later at a new club

Ala Pangai?

This is very true. Problem is no one would believe Lawrie could take up boxing. Is there any other sport that's believable... maybe hot dog eating?
