One too many bald commentators at Fox Sports.

Brandy dyes is hair, bloody vain Panther, Parker, Anasta and Cronk are 15 to 20 years younger, they are happy to show their grey hair

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

with JDB he is innocent until proven guilty...
maybe a swap with jrey and foran ?

 

[jirskyr]

Just on that I watched the Buzzard and Pooper discussing Sloth's player salary list ..can't remember the player and Pooper asked Buzzard what he was on the list 600K ..Buzzard replied yeah 600K or 700K something like that..

Ummm so which is it 600K or 700K ....

Real accurate reporting from the Sloth..then you get punters who believe the tripe trotted out..

I'd love to be rich enough that 100K either way didn't matter.

100K plus or minus for 30 players is $3M.

For an most likely to return to Manly if he leaves the Dogs. Reynolds hopefully returns to Doggies. Both players spiritual homes.

 

[balmain boy]

If cust signs with us, and foran goes back to manly (with Schuster for cover), then Reynolds may be a chanceuatvthe dogs if we pay half.

Remember we also have young Camroux in Flegg, who's a lanky goal kicking 5/8 and top talent. Hopefully he and Rizk are hitting the gym and putting on some weight to get their bodies ready for next season

Is it just me that thinks something is fishy in this Suaali kid is going to knock back a million a year from Rugby to accept half a million a year to play with the Rabbits

Who on this forum would accept a half million pay cut to play for the Rabbits

Not me

Does Rugby Australia have the money to pay the kid especially when its been mentioned that players may need to accept pay cuts

Could just be media beat up.
Be disappointing if rules are changed just for him as there will be others that deserve a start but because not threatening to leave will not get a look in

Rabbits offering 2.4 million over 4 years apparently.
Rugby apparently offered 300k for 18 months, with the offer of Olympics selection.

Russell Crowe flew the family for a meet and greet, the rest they say is history, he is souths uncle Nick, and the NRL will even go as far as to bend the rules for both clubs, level playing field they say

They NEVER return from Nana Glen without a contract significantly less than what the market is offering...the Gladiator must have some real charm!!

didnt Harry T try to do something a few years back with Meriton in relation to third party deals and the nrl ruled he couldnt be a tpa as he was too close or attached to the WT's i think this was just after brydens took over sponsorship

Harry's support of the tigers is weak. I'll give him credit for providing sponsorship to the club when they couldn't get any, but I don't think the deals were ever big money and he's let Balmain get merged, the leagues club fold and then Balmain die. Maybe he does stuff behind the scenes for us but it seems more that he likes to attract a lot of public attention for meagre offerings and doesn't mind seeing his supposedly beloved club die. I'm not blaming him for Balmain's death but he didn't help when surely they were desperate and asking.

Mate you are shooting your mouth off, and do not know the story.

How many millions did you want him to tip in? He was the major sponsor
for Wests Tigers for many years.

He wanted to help out with the Leagues Club Upgrade,but Balmain did not
want him to be part of it. They instead chose to go with "Backdoor Benny"
and his associates and get totally rorted.

He was always really a "Balmain side of it" sponsor, they snubbed their
nose at him.

Personally I don't blame him for snubbing them back.

However you go on casting black net on the Harry's name.

Is your source Harry Triguboff? I read that article too. That was him talking, not the club when he talked about how desperate he was to help out with the leagues club development. But they just wouldn't let him throw his money at them! Where has anyone talked about what he's done for the club beside cut price sponsorship for a budget club? Corporates don't sponsor large sporting teams out of charity, it's a marketing decision. Steggles should be given an award for sponsoring the roosters, right? They've been a sponsor 'for many years'. Samsung also a great sponsor of the roosters, because I'm guessing they both just love the club and they should both be hailed as great Roosters fans because of it!

You act like I'm talking about him helping Wests Tigers, I'm talking about his 'passion' for Balmain. I remember in 98 when he got headlines claiming he was going to save our club and would never let us die. The Balmain board bungled just about every financial opportunity they had, but he never helped. I think he was actually just interested in proposals around Callan Park and he saw sponsoring the Tigers and talking the big talk as endearing him to the community. But since Callan Park stopped, where's he been beyond saying no to helping Balmain and not sponsoring Wests tigers with even the smallest sponsorship package? Gee, you just can't hold him back, can you? Why sponsor when all you need to do is talk about how much you care? Get all the positive press that way.

Look at Souths, Brisbane, Melbourne, The Warriors, Manly, The Roosters and even Penrith: big corporate money or well connected people throwing money at the clubs they love and even taking them over because they want success for their team. Russell Crowe fought against his own fans and the greats of his club to take the club over and make them good. Even our current Chairman has done more for our club in his recent involvement than Triguboff ever did. And you're talking up Triguboff? For what? Being good at talking to the media?

But go on believing the Meriton corporate propaganda! And good luck waiting for him to contribute anything useful to the club. You guys are way too naive and should look at what he does, not what he says.

I think it's ironic that you sign off with a biblical reference that associates Triguboff with Jesus. That is one wacky religion you got there. I don't see the light.

100% in your corner.
What’s that saying, put your money where your mouth is.
He did provide us with a major sponsor when things were looking bad for a a while but since we’ve found a new major sponsor in Bryden’s Lawyers he hasn’t been sighted.
He is 80 something years old so I’ll give him that.
But wasn’t him moving away from sponsoring the club supposed to give him a pathway to providing funds for the club in other areas, and I’m not talking about 3 party deals.
What or where is he actually contributing if at all?
In comparison the struggling Bulldogs have just landed a new major sponsor that has been part of the Bulldogs family for decades. And he not only wants to part with his money to help the club, he wants to be involved in the operation of the club, support the players with whatever they need for the club to be a powerhouse again...

 

[weststigers]

I thought Triguboff said that he would only help if he could buy the whole club? Didn't want to be in partnership with anyone...that was the driving reason why

Is it just me that thinks something is fishy in this Suaali kid is going to knock back a million a year from Rugby to accept half a million a year to play with the Rabbits

Who on this forum would accept a half million pay cut to play for the Rabbits

Not me

Does Rugby Australia have the money to pay the kid especially when its been mentioned that players may need to accept pay cuts

outside private parties have been involved in Rugby offer
