The Rumours Thread

[dungay dragon]

As soon as a player makes any excuses not to join such as travel or money then that should be the end of discussions. The club shows interest and has initial talks to see how the person's character is and enthusiasm to join. Then if they sense any knockbacks just walk away. The ex-Liverpool coach does that and he has built an amazing squad.

I would be saying goodbye to Gutho and JAC if they are stalling. Especially being unwanted at their clubs. Seems like they did this to RCG and Aladin so I am all for this type of approach. No need to be begging players to join the club as you will get low key effort.

Simply fixed Slippery
Make a genuine offer to Player A
Also stipulate an Expiry date of the Offer . Say 7-14 days ..
Offer off the table if no interest and or stalling after that time
You may lose some that you were chasing but you are showing that u mean business at the same time ..
Player managers will then realise that they cant dick us around like they are now...

PNG will never win one.

In fact it will probably fold after we stop propping it up or if Dutton wins the next election it might never get off the ground.

Just saw that Bennett is interested in a player swap at Newcastle,, Hastings for illness.. have no idea what Wayne is thinking BUT wasn't it like a week ago that it was rumoured we were after illias as back up half.... anyone know if we are/ were interested in him or was it just pure speculation

Sounds like speculation it was only a few weeks back Bennett wanted to keep Illias.

The idea of a competition is that everyone thinks that sooner or later they if they play their cards right they will have a chance at the brass ring. I wonder how the local PNGers will take to years of floggings and wooden spoons?

By the way, Port Moresby also has a new casino. It will be interesting to see how that adds to the mix.

In POM they’re better off in the casino than on the street.

I recently posted that the PNG franchise will attract all the dick heads offloaded by other clubs

Sincerely hope you are wrong about this.. who would we sign?

This makes no sense, I have seen it confirmed on these forums that neither halfback can play the game?

Memo to PVL #2 - ring Cold Chisel's management (now) and schedule a few gigs in Vegas during the NRL week. Chisel are back better than ever and their show on Sat night under the big tent at Ent Qtr was awesome.
Chisel have unfinished business in the US where they were let down by a recalcitrant record label 40 years ago. They have established a whole new legion of fans over there via the You tube first time hearing series plus I reckon half the Aussies venturing to Vegas would attend.

We cannot talk to either player or at least offer a contract (more likley Gutho) till Nov 1 officially as both are under contract for 2025

Bennett like to think that he can get the best out of underperforming players viz., Shuster, Hastings, but he could not transform Milford.

I think Parra have given G permission to negotiate.
