The Rumours Thread

[BLM01]

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.

 

[JamesRustle]

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.

 

[blacksafake]

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.

 

[Dragsters]

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?

Lawrie ain't going boxing... he could be a punching bag I guess.

That's below the belt there James!!

Sorry, I was backed into a corner and had to come out swinging.

Yeah, sorry. I was only giving you a bit of a jab so don't come at me with any upper cuts please.

 

[Dragon David]

The boys on NRL360 think that Stefano will leave the Tigers and sign up with the Bulldogs. If that happens, wow. Just wow. There is no stopping them. That Gould guy must have some magical power to get things done. I will be amazed if they get this kid from the Tigers. The Dogs aim is certainly winning the premiership next year, if not this year.

I've canvassed your reply and concluded that you've roped a dope.

 

[redVinme]

Gould thought the dragons should pay the difference if the eels paid less for Zac. Hypocritical merkin won't say a word now though if they get Uto for less than the storm are offering.

Good luck to them. I wouldn’t pay that sort of coin for a player who hasn’t really proved himself yet. It’s a roll of the dice. Another example of an over inflated market in my opinion.

 

[Macedonian Dragon]

I think Bulldogs are offering Stefano around 700k which is probably what he's worth. He was asking for 900k from us which is way overs. Will be interesting to see where he goes but i think Bulldogs have got him considering he just confirmed he'll be leaving Tigers in 2025.

Remind me again how the Bulldogs are the "family" club? FMD. Gus must have stolen one of Uncle nicks extra large sombreros and together with dogs version of the Storms multiple salary cap ledgers to fit them all in. Still a shit football club in a shit area of Sydney.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

i hope the big Stef doesnt get stiffed

Bulldogs land is not the promised land

Being careful not to offend anyone here. It is hard to see the appeal of going there.

If Zac is stupid enough to go somewhere for less then why should we bump up his salary? It was his choice to leave.
