Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GNR4LIFE]

Agree, so why expect Cronk to want to be positive to us when supporters think we are no good

I don’t have any expectations on how he should treat us. Just laying it out how it is. He is much harsher on us than other commentators, and as a result, don’t think he’d lower himself to even breathe the same air as us. Tbf though, I don’t think it’s just us, I think he has a prejudice against weaker clubs in general. He’s a front runner.

Gonna be a long off season. Not even a rumour of any sort to keep us going

 

[batboy]

So as long as the player you are too close to is exceptional. Ok

Made 3 points outside that one
(Too many syllables for you?)

Richo has already hosed down any talk of making any signings, so there isn’t much to talk about in that regard.

I only read the post you responded to, which was well thought out and insightful, and your response, which was either stupid or rude - hence my question. I didn't see anything in what you said that made me think checking out any of your other work would reward my time so I haven't seen any of these supposed good points. If you want your posts to be treated with respect, start by showing the same respect to others.

I see you’re still upset about something. Where have I been disrespectful?

him & benji are mates idk where you get this idea from

Cronk does like to lay the boot in to us whenever he speaks. It actually pisses me off. James Graham is the other one who does it too. Even when he’s giving somewhat of a compliment he still finds a but.

Syllables? I do not know what that word means.

Does anyone know who the mystery sponsor is paying Benji's wages ?

I think its Pepper Money.

Not just Benji - all coaches when a team loses. Maguire was criticized consistently for his use of the bench while here - got a bit more to work at the Broncos. Ciraldo has copped it for weeks from the Bulldogs fans, and some of the Sharks fans questioned Fitzgibbon's use of Nikora. It's a thing - we are are all wiser after the fact

After the fact is one thing, during the match when even blind Freddy can see it in 20/20 is another. The early season donkeys match was the perfect example of our bench use going off the rails.

use your imagination , start a few

As I’ve said a dozen times. As if Cronk would ever lower himself to walk into our club.

Coin mate , the coin could sway a man 😁

Ol mate Willie Mason is another

Well we can focus on Benjis game plans and how we are going to convert red zone pressure to points. And halve the number of points conceded with rock solid defence ! That should keep us going.

So does anyone want to sign Madge back??? As I stated previously it was not the coach that was the problem, it was those below him. First year coaching a balanced side and walah grand final here we come. To all those who said Madge couldn't coach eat your words for dinner tonight 😋

 

[tigertragic]

Ol mate Willie Mason is another

Nearly all the commentators have strong affiliations with certain clubs
Willie
Brad
Joey
James G
Thurston
Billy
GUS
Cronk
and all have agendas to keep the bottom teams there and promote their own

And how do you think Madge would go with our current roster ? Better than Benji? I’d say, for sure. He just lacked the cattle when he was here, although maybe his success this year has been having Trent Barrett as his assistant. Now there’s a winner if I ever saw one - NOT !

I dont know why it is but this season has been odd with many teams getting a good lead and then run down....the late season Titans and Cowboys games piss us all off but it hasnt just been us thats not been able to deal with huge momentum swings...as i said i cant put my finger on it but im sure the NRL love it....is it refs managing the games...6 to goes etc?
Its a major area Benji needs to address along with others we are all aware of like line speed....wrestle...attack in the red zone etc.
Benjis had gradual improvement the last few years even though its blurry when he first really began...but the last couple of years have seen some slow improvement with some key new recruits...more than we can say of Madge who just got worse and worse.
To state the obvious a big year next year

Refs had way too much say with the continual 6 again calls, it would sway the game through momentum. The ref's had the ability this year to dictate who received momentum or had the momentum taken away.

I see you're still playing the "I don't unsrstand anything" game.

I asked you a question: are you as stupid as your initial response implies, or just pretending to be so you don't have to engage with a sensible point. The latter would be disrespectful. See? Not that hard, really.

Anyway I'm done now, I wasn't terribly interested in this conversation to start with and at this point I'm embarrassed to still be in it.

Just on the subject of refs I predict Atkins to get GF ahead of Klein . But that probably puts Klein as video ref, which is even scarier !

Got to say, I'd love to do away with the 6 against. It's a blight on the game a d can be too subjective.
