Yeah we met on the forums and got married in Balmain, the day before winning the GF. The club let us into LO, Sheds etc then went down main street of Balmain & people would randomly run up to the car it was nuts.

Hey champion @Mighty_Tiger - are you the only forum sweethearts?
Did anyone else hook up?
And who among the current forum are showing promise of a future together?
 
I'm not happy we've been outbid for Tupou, reckon he's got real X factor. Certainly has some pretty big holes in his game, but still young.
But in light of the move, I think it would mean that he plays the rest of year on the wing, probably outside Toa, and it will be Staines and Naden on the other side meaning we still have a lot of work to do in the outside back. Although promising to hear that Alaimalo and Lobb are doing the right things in preseason and could come into the equation at some point.
I still don't see much benefit in the Olam/Blore swap, we would be much better served getting rid of Nofa and trying to nab that young Broncos centre.

Tell me ink was there a forum around before this one or did the forum merge from somewhere else because I remember that Sinccas bloke crouching Tiger and a few other classics. But iirc there was something shut down and everyone had to come across. I used to post under a different name back then and I only actually changed it on here 3 or 4 yrs ago.

Yeah there's been a few different versions... I think records from here only go back to 09 but the other forums before that went back to the early 2000s.
I'm not up on the tech aspects of it all but sometimes the changes were necessary other times it was an optional cheaper thing.
Different URL. Things like invision free etc etc were changed sometimes and lots of records lost... Kuls the guy to talk to about that

Haha yeah thought it was you though didn't trust my memory

T-1 I think crouching and BRET got together for a while
@Mighty_Tiger do you remember the guy I mention before ended up official BRET photographer... He had an old VN Holden sedan with a big WTs logo on the bonnet...lived in annadale. Was a mad rev head... He was pretty level headed except when it came to street racing

Another good member by the name.of riff raff worked at Fox sports and was instrumental in the Stop the Rot/Save LO cause that saw a lot of renovations done... Ric Sissons also

Not 100% sure but I think original forum started either 2004 or 2005. Can remember Happy Tiger and 851 were early users. The mad poster Moth used league unlimited. SMEG Watto were also big users

A bit earlier than that I think, there was an official forum, the link was on the WT website. I remember in 2003, the chat about signing Scott Prince, my first ever post was on the topic. This forum is probably the 3rd or 4th reincarnation?
 
Every player must provide his incumbent Club with a last right of negotiation for a 10-day period from the date of notice that the player has received an offer from a rival Club, and that offer has been submitted to the NRL, that he is prepared to accept.

In order to give effect to this clause:

a) the player must provide notice to his incumbent Club that he has an offer that he will accept in 10 days’ time (subject to negotiations with his incumbent Club);

b) the Club can then engage in contract negotiations with the player for a period of up to 10 days, or the Club may waive its rights in writing (at which point the player is free to sign with the rival Club);

c) the offer from the rival NRL Club must be an official offer and submitted to the NRL Salary Cap Auditor (the contents of which will remain confidential, but the NRL Salary Cap Auditor can provide verification to the incumbent Club that an official offer has been received). The offer must remain open for acceptance for a minimum of 14 days, and for at least 48 hours beyond the expiry of the 10-day negotiation period with the incumbent Club. There is no requirement for the player to disclose the terms of the offer to his incumbent Club

d) at the expiry of the 10 days, the player may sign (or reject) the offer from the rival Club.

He was/is the definition of a dork. The kind of dude who would create burner accounts to back himself up.

I feel Matamua has missed the boat unfortunately. Kit or Fa'agutu to lock eventually and Pole remaining as an explosive interchange middle forward until he becomes a starter (Klem moves on).

good call on Pole being the explosive impact type, agreed there. Fa'agutu was moved to the front row for Kit to stay at lock, so I would assume that that is how things will play out in Cup and eventually first grade as well.

my only question is Round 2. Marshall seems to prefer a pivot-style lock, but there's questions about all four players you mentioned. I guess trials will give us more insight.
