Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Spud_Murphy]

Just saw that the slimers have just signed Keegan Hipgrave, that is one that we could have used. His natural aggression and toughness would have added to our pack, would be wasted at the slimers, you can't have two meat axes (Brown and Hipgrave) in the same side, not unless the rules change.
Has anyone heard want is happening with Bunty Afoa, last I heard he had permission from the warriors to go and we were interested, then nothing.

Good, between him and Brown hopefully lots of penalties against them next season.

The strangest thing about this story is that there is a restaurant called Abbatoir Blues. Who calls a restaurant that?

Lol I don’t know, but I certainly wouldn’t be eating there!

It is at Homebush near ANZ stadium in the old Abattoir that used to be on the site.

Yea I realised it was near the old Abbatoirs but it just seems a strange name for a restaurant. Wonder if they serve many vegan dishes. I just have this vision of the decor being blood splattered walls and you are given a pair of gum boots at the door to wade through the offal to get to your table.

It is a really nice little place, having worked in an abattoir in the mid 90's I can tell you this place has nothing in common, outside the name, with an abattoir lol

Check you spelling
I think you need to drop the G

 

[JD Tiger]

Why was Farah ostrasised by Taylor? Don't think he dropped him because he was a SOO player.

Please feel free to enlighten me. (Not just because Taylor was a dope)

I honestly think JT was railroading Robbie out because the Board wanted it done. Taylor was just the guy enacting their wishes, and when it went sour in the public sphere, the board stood back from it, saved their own backsides, and let it all fall on JT's shoulders and dumped him.

Just a theory.

I’m not a vegan, but I’m not into animal cruelty. That’s a pretty rugged logo to have for a restaurant and not really necessary, imo.

That's basically how I understood it as well. They were thinking RF was getting to much power.

 

[rihannafan1]

lol at this Mansour quote: "when I saw Ivan and Matt together I knew it was bad news"... the dirty duo.

What’s Matt background does he have history with tigers?

According to Ivan, Matt set up a coffee date to have a chat with him during his first full season as our coach and during that time proposed that he come to coach Penrith (and in the process implying that he break his contract with us to do so).

Do they deliver

Feel like I just logged into Tripadvisor.

Heard through the grapevine that Will Chambers is coming back to the NRL. Not sure where, but given he’s already had two stints at the Storm, it’s possible he could be coming back for a third. It could pave the way for Melbourne to finally release JAC to us.

The grapevine, it was in the paper

Apparently they made Mansour pay too

I noticed you failed to mention Taylor and his treatment of one of the WTs’ best ever players. An SOO player not good enough for selection in a WTs’ team. Do you believe Taylor’s treatment of this player may not have gone down well with his team mates? Do you consider this may have been an issue impacting retention and future recruitment?

100%, I have said this over and over, JT, the gift that keeps on giving
