The Rumours Thread

No apology required
Parker's article just made my blood boil

Wouldn't be the first time irony went over my head

I honestly thought you'd attached the wrong link

Last year I think OT posted

"Something fishy about tonights game"

I was watching it and couldn't figure what was fishy, the 10 meters, the penalties, the 6 agains?

I had to ask

it was the Dolphins V the Sharks - Derrrrr!

Maybe the Broncs have approached Molo via BHunt and that is why Bronco-loving Parker has written this story about the poor player wanting out.

Parker is a one eyed prick, just another boofhead player turned commentator who thinks he knows it all. Kick Molo out rip up his contract and he can go play with captain loser. Over it who cares he’s no Arthur Beetson

If Molo wants out piss him off. As long as he does not a cent for this year.
i am over of these dick heads holding our great club for Ransom. Hopefully Flannagan is scrounging through the ranks of rival clubs for a middle replacement. Maybe a player like Gouhler from the Raiders on a one year deal with a performance clause to extend their contract.

Maybe Francis was told he would be fighting Lodge for a spot and took it literally.

Doesn’t the pay year in the NRL start 1 November? If so the club should demand the money back and then sue him for damages.

Jarrod Saffy.
He was massive for our forwards leading up to the 2010 GF win.

I still have his No. 17 jumper he wore in the 2010 GF.

I agree. Anyone have his number? What's he up to nowadays?

Could be more than an element of truth in that.

Parker was a grub on the field and is a dead set drop kick as a media person.

Agree 100% he should not be paid for any part f the 2025 season, in fact he should be sued for the remainder of his contract

Even Lawrie has better stats than Guler and why would anyone break a contract to take up a one year contract with a performance clause to play for a struggling club with an uncertain future that all and sundry have already awarded the Wooden Spoon.
Molo shouldn't be released to go sign somewhere else without us getting something in return. We have to stand up to this bs otherwise other players will follow him at the first opportunity - our promising juniors among them. Other clubs will see us as an easy poaching target.

I'm over ex players getting jobs in Rugby League media and not being able to hide their favouritsm to the clubs they played for. Sterlo was very good at not showing any bias. He should be who they try and emulate

Agreed. A general grasp of the English language would also be of benefit.

 

[dragon thomo]

It was a example Kit 66, I don't know what any players stats are but it's not all you look at in a player. Presence on the ground and being able to lift players around you are important.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The media powers that be are out of touch with the modern fan and treat us with contempt.

In many cases, the clubs themselves treat us like dead donkeys as well.

No proper questioning at post game press conferences really bugs me.

I still can't believe that in this so-called professional sport in the 2024 (and I bet it remains the same this season) that the NRL seem incapable of organising a microphone to be passed around to journos asking questions at pressers.

Unfknblvable...

Yeah and give me Blocker Roach any time. His favorite word is "Outstanding". Still calls us "the Saints" LOL.

Any Broncos game in Queensland with Lockyer and Parker commenting is excruciatingly painful. Well, it was the last time I did in 1982!

Trade Molo for a Bronco prop or release him at a cost to him. Then pay for two good props from ESL.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The problem with the managers of the game is that they all think we are low IQ and and will readily believe anything they say.

Even Madge thought most of us would buy Into Mam getting up early and working- forgetting to mention his $1m a year was secure. I was in tears about this terrible fate that befell him….not!

Just made Madge look like a dope and another apologist for idiot players. Win at all costs, despite almost wiping out an innocent family going about their day like us. Made me feel worse and Mam, lose respect for Madge and keep me generally disinterested in the broncos.

Whatever it’s problems, thank goodness we have social media, the NRL and msm despise it.

Jarrod Saffy.

I remember we signed Corey Payne and then a few weeks later you signed Jarrod Saffy from us. I told my Saints supporting mate at the time 'You have no idea how much you won this trade.'

I'd watched Saffy from his first trial after we signed him from union. He was very raw, but you could tell by his frame, athleticism and most importantly physicality he was going to make it in league. Its just a shame it wasnt with us.

…..It’s amazing how they call everyone a former ‘ legend’; talk about over used. Raper, Langlands Gasnier …. sure, but they use the word as click bate for anyone that’s got a comment - its laughable.

 

[slippery5]

He should not be allowed to play at all then!!

It was before the current NRL administration. I doubt PVL & Co would welcome him back..
