Serves me right for checking the Signings & Rumours thread on Feb 1st but I feel it’s hit the bottom and has started digging a hole

Is he? How do you know that? I used to play Sydney a lot before moving north.

He won a big tournament at The Star years back

Anything interesting from the meetup today lads?

Great poker player too.

Was about to say that.

Heard a few years ago that he was pretty good at poker, it's all in the face. 🤣

Parramatta or dogs perhaps

Parramatta or dogs perhaps

I think those two and the Roosters are the most likely destinations

That’s right, it isn’t. All I said was, the appointment did nothing for me. Big deal.

If its money he's after won't get it there they are a club that players will go to for less dollars well that's what they believe, annoying isn't it.

Yeah right? I used to play poker at the casino a lot, i don’t play tournaments by choice, too much luck involved. But you don’t win a Casino tourney without having a fair idea. I’ll put that in the poker memory bank in case I come across him.

All the players look trim & it wasn’t something i’m a fan of. Most games last year we were poor on first contact & we’d lose a lot of the collision. I thought in the off season we’d be bulking the players up not making them skinnier. Don’t see how Jack Bird will be playing 13 looking that trim he’s going to get monstered in the forwards.

If you haven't listened to the latest from the boys on the WTF poddy it would be good for you to jump on. They do an interview with Mitch Tyler that will answer some of your questions on our coach development. There does not appear to be a formal growth programme. This is definitely an area we could improve and something Richo and the team should definitely have a look at.

Considering we are supposed to be development club... We shouldbe developing

We'll... Time will tell but that is a concern if we are to restrict post contact metres

Hope Benji doesn't think we can run around them again

Bird at 13 gives us the option of getting the ball to the edges quickly, meaning opposing defences will not have the luxury of condensing their defence.
It’s a slight concern from a defensive point of view, but I can’t imagine him playing more than a maximum of 40-50 minutes, therefore it should allow a bigger bodied 13 to be on the field at various stages.

Cash games are where it's at, especially on weekends with the drunk crowd. I used to play at The Star alot. At the 1/2 table, biggest pot I won was $800+. Knew exactly what hand he had and took all his chips. Nothing beats the feeling of racking in a huge pot.

Yep, Friday and Saturday nights, start about 10pm or so on $5 or $10 tables, playing with intoxicated fish. Start with $400 and leave when 1k in front. There was one period I did this for 8 weekends straight.

They didn’t initially. It wasn’t until Alex McKinnon broke his neck that the spotlight got shone back onto Dwyer who said the club hadn’t done anything for him. Not long after that he miraculously had a role on the coaching staff.

Yea, that figures.

I had heard he had some post role....

It's Taniela Tuiaki who I really regretted to learn that the Club had stiffed. I loved to see him play and seek the line. Arguably our best winger ever and we had so many damn good wingers.
