I couldnt watch it.. and yes this is the difference.. someone like DCE in particular is marquee enough and there is enough time to really set up some ridiculous pub share, real estate share arrangement.. very hard for us to contend with.. because we would need to match those clubs + pay 100k more than anyone else to be a consideration for DCE.. were not winning any premierships any time soon.
The way he sat there on the panel making his announcement like it was top story on the 6 o'clock news made me literally cringe. I couldn't find a better way to describe it.Cringiest? Your post is Cringe mate what kind of language is that
It probably should have been done before the season started if anything. Weird timing
Exactly this. Good post. I thought the same thing. Some would call it networking. I call it Bwaif sucking up to potential customers for players he manages via his media position whilst Laundy's get free publicity. You scratch my back. I scratch yours.
It's not their backs that they are scratching.
i wonder who makes way for him? I hope they dont drop Stewart he has been solid.
It could be not over burdoning young players, but he did get the week off and I think Stewart has been more than solid
Hope this is the case, but I'm not convinced it is. Just based on some of the training photos today (yes I know not to take as complete gospel), but it looks like Lawrie and RFM are both in the 17.. will be mind boggling if that is in fact the case. Both shouldn't be anywhere near a first grade jumper
Everyone go to training no matter if they are in the 17. We have a team of 30, and part of the contract that everybody participates.
Who is he replacing?
Yeah.. but you can make a distinction between the top 17 and the rest of the players by photos of opposed sessions...
If they are both in then there are no more excuses for S F he will have burnt all his bridges and if people are honest with themselves he is no better than Hook was when picking his old time favourites.
No RFM or Lawrie.. Flano gets some respect back from me.. had to make that call
Not only obnoxious but so blatantly obvious that even an idiot can recognise how f..ked things are. Variations of refereeing standards, some clubs that consistantly appear to get favourable decisions at the judiciary, questions about how some clubs can buy multiple marquee and still be underthe salary etc, etc.
We are seeing the change of the guard in the forwards now. We are stuck with Sele and Lawrie until end 2026 but, for me, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will start 2027 with a young pack with plenty of 50 and plus gamers and big motors. And we should have some available cash bcs so many contracts end at end 2026.
Yeah I don't watch any other games at this point. And I'm not going to watch any of the Dragons games live anymore. I'll check the score after the game and maybe watch the highlights, but I'm pretty much over it all tbh.
Although Ben Rumble is 21. He might soon be ready for a few backline spots.
