Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You don’t actually think that Crichton would want to come to us do you ?
His future is sorted in Rugby( also where his heart really is from what I’ve heard ).

That's fortunate.
He's cooked, fried, gonzo.

I don't want us to go near him. No idea if he would want to remain in Sydney and play NRL...
He probably wants Rugby and Rugby probably want NRL players... Don't know, nor care.

We need good attitude and we need bankable. Crichton isn't that at the moment. Infact we need to sign next to no one, we have no idea where Benji needs to inject talent and who will stand up and who will stand down.

I still don't know if our Halves, Backs or forwards will choke.

Pearce went to North Shore. Played him in high school MCC. Him & Foran were the halves from year 10 to 12. In year 10 they have a bloke on the wing called Matt Shirvington. They were unstoppable.

That can't quite be right because Shirvo was the year ahead of me at school and that makes him about 10 years older than Mitchell Pearce.

I saw Mitchell play the MCC Grand Final one year but I'm pretty sure the match I saw his halves partner was Liam Foran rather than Kieran. At that time the thought was Liam was a very good chance of a first-grade career.

Word is that Bevan French will return to the NRL next year , this is one player we should nail down NOW , must on here complain about no x- factor in our backs , well this bloke covers it all , benji and Richo get on to this

I have continuous worry that Bevan French cannot recapture his ESL form in the NRL. He was custard when he left the NRL, just physically found out all the time, and the transition back to NRL is so difficult; so few players make it back.

Penrith say hello.........twice.

2x ambushes on a trial-season Penrith. Good luck to St Helens and Wigan for playing huge games and getting up for the challenge, but both clubs would be destroyed attempting to play NRL week in and out.

Even 2023 season Penrith opened with 4 wins 4 losses, including the loss to us, but got it together end of season to only lose 2 of the last 19 matches including the GF. In other words - Penrith only lost 2 more matches after losing to us in Rd 9 in rainy Bathurst.

I’ve got this feeling that anyone with a different opinion to you makes you feel insecure and you resort to personal jabs, but that’s just my opinion (insert smart ass meme here)

I don't have opinions on this non-issue - I don't read crystal balls or make hot take negative predictions with nothing but a "gut feeling" to go on - and I see through GNR's trolling modus operandi.

Bateman is signed for three more years - I have no opinion on whether he will see out that contract.

So how did I express a "different opinion"?

Learn to read - you are the reason people need to communicate with memes!

Bateman bailed in his Canberra contract ... has done it before

Bateman bailed in his Canberra contract ... has done it before

But why speculate?

That had nothing to do with on-field success - but more to do with his personal family situation and Canberra being a crappy place to live...

Sorry my English isn’t that good.
I thought you calling out GNR was because you didn’t agree with his view that Bateman won’t see out his contract here, that’s why I assumed you had a different view / belief / thought / opinion or whatever the correct word is on the topic.

Didn't we pay to get him out of his contract to come here?
Didn't the Raiders pay to get him out of his contract to Aus come originally?

It's hardly speculation when he's dipped on his last 3 contracts?
Moreso, Just the way it goes....

They play the WCC in June or July and Penrith win by 50.

Exactly. Not sure why all the pearl clutching over that scenario.

Canberra is a paradise compared to the north of England,the family situation is another matter which i understand

Pearce 34 yold Shirvo 45 yold.

Canberra isn’t a crappy place to live.
It’s a hidden gem in many ways.

Now you are fishing for a blue...
It's a sheethole!!

That's why it's a ghost town every Christmas holidays,
and the 100 odd Km Trip down the coast takes 4hrs on the Weekends...

I can explain it. Shirvo isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Repeated year 11 ten times.

Its obviously a different Matt Shirvington with some speed who played sports

Have to agree completely with the points that you have made and then add to that some dubious on field decisions.

Not in the habit of going in to bat for the 'Riff because I don't mind them losing especially with the gutsy display Wigan put on but I think Brian To'o got it right with respect to that Wigan try that was awarded.

Hopefully the days of us releasing our best players for no gain was a Pascoe phenomenon.
