Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[colinbh]

So Walters and Marshall signing announcements on foxtel but not on the clubs official page. They've just completely stopped talking to the fans havnt they.

with the team training up until grand final week, the team is still in 2019. you'd think we'll hear a lot in terms of who's coming and going the week after grand final.

I would have thought you'd announce a resigning to your members before Matt Johns.

Benji did say when he was on NRL360 a week or so ago that he would be announcing his decision on foxsports.

I think it's poor form.


He’s not obligated to tell us anything. Stop sooking.

You think there's no obligation from the club to tell it's fans who they've signed?

Correct

Fair enough. It looks like the club agrees.

waiting for a Tigers signing is like waiting for the wall between Mexico and America to be build. All talk no source.

Interesting read. Suggesting That Player trades likely this offseason. Mentions RM situation etc

The RLPA are so selfish. All they do is take from the game. Everything they do is only for the benefit of the players. They don't care if they have to bring rugby league to its knees to get things down.

That's how unions work mate. They just take, take , take and end up ruining it for everyone.

Isn't a union supposed to look after its members?

Wait until you get the boot from a shonky employer who doesn't want to pay out the weeks of leave you're owed, you might be wishing you had a different opinion. (this happened to my sister-in-law literally yesterday).

Can't she go to Fair Work? Why do you need a union for your legal entitlements?

Because FW is a government organisation that hopes to get cases resolved within 90 days. She has a union rep with her same day.

I'm not a massive unionist, but to suggest they just "take and take" is ridiculous.

Correct. Even members who steal get their job back thanks to unions.

Tyson Frizell wants out of Dragons
By The Mole
2 hours ago

The incoming Dragons manager of football faces a tough first-up task - healing the rift between star forward Tyson Frizell and the struggling club.

Phil Gould is favourite to take on the role after helping the Dragons conduct their end-of-season review after yet another under-performing season by the Big Red V.

The club quashed rumours that Frizell, their most dynamic forward, wanted out of the club mid-season.

But Wide World of Sports has learned that Frizell is intensifying his bid to get out of the final year of his contract in 2020.

The Blues State of Origin forward believes a new club will take his game to the next level and he is also upset about the way in which the Dragons handled the Jack de Belin sexual assault case.

Dragons officials are trying to smooth the waters - but it may prove too difficult a task.

They do until the companies get sick to death of being extorted and move their operations overseas.
Unions do more damage in the long run.
Australia considers itself a free market economy but it's not the case while unions exist.
Unions is an outdated concept from the turn of the century when there were no laws to protect workers.
Now there is so many laws to protect the working man. Unions are parasites. They actually leech off the workers for union fees.

I’d gladly swap Matto for Frizell, that would be a nice upgrade.

Ace, what did that take, 1 week? 1 week and Matto has a friend in the "I dun wanna be here anymore" headspace.

Am i correct in saying that the disease known as "nuffie" runs in the Jennings family?

Question... Does anyone actually know if / when we are going to announce any player movements ? I understand the footy is still on but we as a club cannot even announce things that players have already confirmed E,g, Walters & Benji.
I would only assume there is going to be a few changes but just hard reading pages and pages of nothing..

Don't have to give names but just let us know that good news is on its way.. :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed: :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:

Pascoe is in the cone of silence at present. Basically all lines of communication with the fan base have been cut off...till the opt out period has finished.
Sorry if I sound negative towards the club, but something is not right you don’t go from a club that was great at communicating with its fan base to the cone of silence without some major issues driving the change
