Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Buttface]

I agree but I think there is a misconception that the storm keep their players out of trouble. It is more the anonymity that comes with being a rugby league player in Melbourne that keeps them out of trouble.

Whatever it takes to keep a good career on track, should be the track taken.
But we’re all human and buckets of gold are really shiny, and surprisingly lite.

Nothing surprises me , i know of ppl using coke on a regular basis that go into schools to tell the kids of the dangers of taking drugs

So I wonder how much testing are the NRL are doing , and I also wonder if they like the AFL swept positive tests under the carpet

If they did testing after mad Monday, id bet my bottom dollar that the positive test results would be well into the double digits.

Plenty of players would be shittin themselves atm.

I just read both Reimis Smith & Bayley Sironen are off-contract at Catalans. Reimis was mentioned yesterday as a good depth outside back target (instead of Naden) but what about Sironen as a utility? I recall some NRL matches, I think at the Wahs, when he filled in at hooker quite admirably. Any regular ESL watchers think Sironen could have a future back in the NRL?

We just signed the best centre we have in a decade. We don’t wanna go backwards and sign a plodder like Smith.

We need a depth right-sided outside back for next season, not first 13.

Did we sign May Jnr

Yeah ..we’ll see ..I’ll bet Radley is still in the opposition line up next time we play the Roosters…

If Nick thinks none of his players are ever on the Blow he must be joking … “just don’t get caught”..

100% Tom, I'd give 1000-1 odds to anyone, that uncle Nicks zero tolerance for drugs would get instantly thrown out the window if it was Sam Walker who was caught red handed.

Panthers v Dogs thurs night Panthers originally favourites with Dogs outsiders at $2.30.
Then word gets out penrith will rest Cleary and several others as they cant make the top 4...not before a huge plunge on the Dogs which now sees them $1.36 and Panthers $3+

NRL integrity 🙄 unit investigating

Penrith now $6

No margin betting until teams named

Reports maybe 16 players rested

Dogs wouldve been around $4 for 13+ earlier...missed out bugger it

Imo I think it's one of those things the N.R.L has to pretend to be tough on, but deep down know if they were they prob wouldn't be able to fill the teams to play with the amount of guys now using one form of drug or another. Funny how times change though eh? Remember Kevin McGuire's getting a 2 year ban for extacy and Craig Field copping a multiple year ban for cocaine in 2002.

They’ve gifted the Dogs a top 4 finish, Broncos and Sharks would be filthy.

Tactical Masterclass from Cleary. Put a reserve grade team out so Bulldogs win and don’t feel the need to bench Galvin so they can beat them in the finals with Galvin still running the show.

Boom...penrith now $7

I have never seen a club rest their whole first grade team. I don't think this will go down well with the NRL hierarchy.

At Least we get a good look at Mavrik Geyer as a starter.

I was thinking the same thing regarding Mavrik.

There something fundamentally wrong with allowing a team to rest that many players when the results of each game effect more than them.

The domino effect is huge. If they had gone in full strength and won, last round would have been a cracker.

penrith’s always played by their own rules. i guess when you win 4 premierships you kinda can

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Odd timing. You’d think they’d be more likely to rest players in the final round. No doubt Raiders and Storm will if they cement 1st and 2nd respectively.
