Are you trying to stop me from moving Demps? ?

Lol, never...
Just in the news today.
Sounds bad.

Lots of housos in Swansea

Yep, indeed....
Always improving though with house prices constantly increasing and certain types being priced out.

Still, lot of dramas like this.
Regular occurrence.

My ex inlaws were at Coal Point, Swansea is an unusual place.

Coal Point, that's over Teralba bridge?
Not that close to Swansea but not far either.

Different world out there.
Very isolated.

Went to school there and yeah, everyone's a tough guy.

I grew up near Toronto, went to school in Morisset, met my fair share of Terry Tough Guys throughout my growing up. Some interesting characters around that area.

 

[Odessa]

Fun fact… all the boys at lower grades at the Bulldogs when Matto played there thought he was Lebo… he is not

Matterson is actually a famous name in the history of the Magpies.
Frank Matterson and Jack Matterson both were stars for the Magpies in the 1920's.

Haha as far as I know... Toronto and Morriset have always hated each other and have been beefing forever.

I think Morriset usually comes out on top.

Couple of dregs from Manly :

Manly are yet to re-sign **Morgan Boyle, Sione Fainu, Tevita Funa, Jack Gosiewski, Zac Saddler, Jorge Taufua and Dylan Walker** to new deals for 2022, however the latter is reportedly nearing an extension following his dominant performance on Friday night.

Zac Saddler a 2RF who's impressed when given the chance and in NSW cup especially.
In the mould of Ryan Matterson and 22 years old.


Others you've heard of.
Not worth a look really besides Walker.

I think Funa is about to sign a deal with the Waratahs. I don't think Saddler would be a bad shout. has always had big wraps on him but has been stuck behind some decent players.

I felt old until out of curiosity I checked up on how old Noah was supposed to have been when he built the ark.
He was 650.
He lived for another 300 years to be 950.
I'm a baby.

If Sione has half the talent of his brother (maybe with less stabby instincts) sign him up

He's a small front rower.
I don't think he's NRL standard.

If we're talking Siones..

Sione Hopoate looks a good finisher.
Worth a look.

Are the super league coaches being considered any good?

All downgrades

The way Madge had us playing a downgrade would be pretty hard to achieve. We would need to concede 60 every week for it to be a downgrade

Madge has presided over some horrific results this year, the players have stopped listening new coach fresh ideas.
Look how well Brooks played under Cleary in 2018

Matterson is actually a famous name in the history of the Magpies.
Frank Matterson and Jack Matterson both were stars for the Mapies in the 1920's.

Yeah before my time but I watched Ryan on bloke in a bar and he said he came through lower grades at the Bulldogs before moving to Parrs Roosters Tigers Parra.

I don't mind him but understand the hate.

If the coach leaves I can't see why he wouldn't want to return.
He looked happy until things fell apart and he played his best footy for us.

should have played origin when palying for us they went with Angus Crighton and the Roosters connection.
Never leave the Roosters you will be pushing poop up a hill to get in to rep sides, uncle Nick makes sure of that

Milford really is a fool,arrested last night for alleged domestic violence.He really has hit rock bottom and one to completely avoid

Sam Burgess still looks up for it.

See my comments about Milford.We dont need women beaters anywhere near our club

 

[PabloX]

I'd look at Funa and Fainu from Manly.

Here's something on Fainu

Surely if Madge goes the unconfirmed rumours about Lomax wanting to come here are put to bed. Wasn't it said that he and Madge have a connection and that's why he was interested in joining?

It was put to bed when he added another year on his Dragons deal that will keep him there for 5yrs.
He was never coming.

Agree re: new coach fresh ideas, but truth be told Brooks also sucked under Cleary. He was just inexplicably given 3 points in games we won like 12-8 or 14-10 all the time. He was still one of the worst halfbacks in the league then.

Are the super league coaches being considered any good?

Shaun Wane is madge mk2. Was madges assistant at Wigan, then became the head coach when madge went to souths. Issuing the structure and team madge established, he won 3 comps in 7 years. Now the English coach. I like him but it would be strange to sack madge to replace with wane.

Steve mcnamara was assistant at roosters for a bit under Robinson. Has taken Catalan from a pretty bad positron in 2017 to now to of the table with a 54% winning rate over the 4 years. Was previously the England coach.

Kristian wolfe is best known for coaching Tonga and loved by his team, really has embraced the culture and country. Now coaches st helens after Holbrook was appointed Gold Coast coach. Win the premiership in his first year (2020) and the challenge cup this year and will most likely play in gf against Catalan this year. Has also done a fair bit if nrk assistant coaching, under 20s and qld cup coaching. A little similar to madge in personality, quoted saying 'I swear too much' and is apparently scary in wrestling sessions. But could attract some great tonga talent.

I think they all have more runs on the board than cilraldo. But think woolf would be the strongest candidate

Great summary. Seems like whoever we get is doomed. The roster is the issue

Always has been, and the club has gone "big $ signing shy" since Ivan screwed the pooch?
