What does this mean?

Download Chat GPT and point it to this thread. It will have a lot of work to do, but in a few seconds it will summarize all the dross on here for however long it has gone on. Well that’s what it’s meant to do. I can also summarize it for you pretty fast 😂

So you think the club should’ve kept players who weren’t 100% committed to changing things?

Yes that's my point. Signing overrated overpaid duds not interested in playing and having potshots at the club still is indicative of the continual failure here

lets hope humphries keeps performing so the slimers go after him instead 😬

EVen if he does fo there they won't be winning a premiership any time soon. Need. Bit of turnover. That forward pack is getting on.

means he is incapable of doing it himself.

We need a damn time machine so I can slap:
Tim Sheens, Ivan Cleary, Benji, Macguire in the face till they stop picking LB at 7.

It will never make sense. MM was the 7 in the lower grades....

Moving forward. Unsure if Luai is our 7. Luai is a damn fighter and I like him. But really unsure if he is our 7.

Latu will be our 7

I think the surprise move would be luring Wayne Bennett.

Richo should have the relationship already, Souths seems like a basketcase now.
Telling Benji "Hey your doing ok, but need to work on a few points with Coaching" may work if we can bring Bennett over.

... Yes before anyone else says it, it's a huge longshot. Including that souths would tank enough for them to punt Bennett.

Otherwise were in a really tight position with Benji. Notice how Sheens's signings have left us now?
It seems really obvious that Sheens signed that front row and are not onside with the coach. If Benji is replaced, it could be tough keeping some of our signings with a new coach. Exception being someone known from penrith (for good or bad).

This is a genius idea
Now long is Bennett contracted at the bunnies?

There must be a reason why the NRL won't touch it but no reason why they couldn't come up with a hybrid variation, good job for an NRL think tank.

They tried and Terry Hill sued for restraint of trade in the N.S.W Supreme Court and won, round early nineties. Ironically he was drafted to Eastern Suburbs I'm pretty sure but wanted to play for Western Suburbs. How times change.

I can summarise it as well.

Was the restraint of trade the Terry Hill one, or the Balmain Tigers guy in the 70's (Tutty maybe)?

Tutty took on the transfer fee not the draft.

Ridiculous that the NRL use this as a reason. So the AFL could attract thousands of law suits for all the players it has restrained via a draft???

I believe the AFL and the AFL Players Union came to an agreement not to challenge it. I don’t know the specifics but I’m sure the players got a good deal from it.

Were the players at the time paid to vote for it?

Can't be the main man unfortunately. Never seen him own a game an stand up as the difference maker. Always happy to just do the bare minimum and let others do it around him. Him and Brooks are not too dissimilar

 

[Tucker]

Why can’t you guys argue the point rather than attack him personally?
I don’t think he’s trolling, he believes what he’s saying. Prove him wrong.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

It's just silly Luai has been great the last 2 seasons as for Brook's we will see how good he goes on his own if DCE is out next game he only stands out as a deputy to the sheriff.

I'd be very surprised ..
Million to 1

 

[innsaneink]

Can we get a show of hands of how many had him in the starting 13 this year?
Hasn't stood out in any grade above Ball - And there's no real evidence he stood out there either.
RM Cup is where he belongs.

@GNR4LIFE was giving 500/1 he'd start in round one

Haven't heard a peep 👀

 

[rugbygoated]

rugbygoated just seems to death ride the club ,wakey wakey

I'm not the only one. But what I say is factual. Even if it is the harsh truth
