The Rumours Thread

[Jubilee]

In Leo’s case he may well . The man is young and can hold his own against most other forward packs in the competition.

Flanagan requires a top-of-the-line prop that he can build his team around , more so the young forwards coming into the team’s top 30 next season .

Aggression , defense and he goes for the entire 80 minutes , he Flanno must open the purse strings to sign such an individual as it would pay dividends for many years to come .

The Big Red V would finally have a prop whom is 1st class and would only get better as he ages . But as I have said in my earlier post , I cast doubt upon the story that he has signed with the Dragons .

One big benefit iwith Leo is that age-wise he is coming into the sweet spot for modern props, 25-28. Sure there are still older JWH types but they are rare.

I think physically the male specimen is supposed to naturally hit his peak about 29, but it’s pretty hard to gauge players with all their training, injuries and other unnatural forces on their bodies.

What was that analogy? A kind of front-on collision at x mph, several times a game many times a season, over many seasons. And even luck can play a role, an inch here or there could determine your future in the game.

Back in the day, anything under the nose was fair game.

We are a fickle lot. Everyone wants the awesome physicality, but no one likes an injury ( I don’t anyway).

I’ve spoken to a few ex junior players, gave up before the big time on grounds of extreme hatred of blunt force, back and ankle injuries.

This time last year I think Volkswagen was supposed to coming over. Putting aside the rights and wrongs of the contract, on arrival, he couldn’t pass the ball. I wonder how he’s going?

Old Timer made the point that the game has always attracted a certain % of criminal types and we all know this is true. Rugby league is probably the only mainstream sport in the world that is based on legitimizing the natural skill set of standover merchants. Altho it has been cleaned up a lot.

Drug related offences of all sorts, driving related offences of all sorts, DV related offences of all sorts, petty criminals offences of all sorts, gun related, stealing and fencing stolen goods offences of all sorts, offences against women of all sorts, stand over merchants and petty thugs of all sorts yes indeed it is a game that produces so many role models that so many of our youth have emulated.

There’s no denying that the hard physical contest of some sports attract and reward certain personality traits and types that can also become socially undesirable at the extreme.
The difference with drugs is that they are artificial, generally corrupted products that are addictive, mind-altering substances that are relentlessly pushed by global underworld organised crime syndicates. They destroy people‘s lives and the social fabric. This is undeniable simply on the basis of the empirical evidence on a global scale.
Human cultures have always cultivated and celebrated their warriors. They’ve also always used mind-altering substances.
Combining the two, excusing it, and promoting it as a social model of success is, in my opinion, an extremely dangerous phenomenon, both individually and collectively.

Spencer copped 8 weeks for calling Mam a monkey. If Mam gets less than 8 weeks for injuring a child driving with no licence and high on drugs then the NRL are the biggest joke in history for all codes. It will then be so obvious that it is not the crime that you are judged on but the colours you wear.

Mam should get the same punishment as Amone if the NRL are serious about player behaviour and bringing the game in disrepute. Getting behind the wheel in that state he is there was every chance he could kill someone on the road and he nearly did.

Broncos have golden boy Hunt so have a replacement in place for Mam. No real loss to them so 12 months will not hurt them as much as it will hurt the NRL community if he gets let off lightly.

I suspect he will get 12months

Would make sense with the Hunt signing.

Talk about double jeopardy ....LOL. It couldn't happen to a better club - poor Broncos.

Not shore if this is the right place for this post, but I was wondering if anybody can give me an update on what's happening with Adam Gee. Is he going to be refereeing in 2025.
