Oh and put a screen shot up. Though reading this as something has just popped up tonight? Is that the case?

Screenshot isn’t working but it’s 6 slide instagram post, song “NIGHTS LIKE THIS” - kid laroi with the caption

Could mean chapter as in 2024 season or time at storm

Well considering the sport is basically not played in Victoria, I think old Belly ache is pretty big on recruitment.

you know what I'm getting at, the better clubs don't buy established stars, they recruit potential and develop it.

Seen it. Could be as you said but the gf was a week ago, he knew he was suspended almost 2 weeks ago.
Why post now?
He is a cryptic bloke that Nelson.
Seen some comments on the page about heading home. And Famunoa Brown with a 🤞 emoji.

That’s because they already have an established senior group, and they only have to fill a few select holes.

We’re coming from a position where our senior playing group is below par, so we need to simultaneously bring in kids and established players to mentor them.

We've imported Api, a premiership winner, Ice, second rower of the year, Klemmer, Origin and Kangaroo rep, Bateman, English international, what more do you want?

It's a shame he was playing at the same time as recently named immortal, Ron Coote. Pringle wouldn't have looked out of place in a Green and Gold jersey.

Pringle was never the same after he drank his own urine true story.

Were some of those players those things when we recruited them though? Really?

And, the ‘better clubs’ as you pointed out are stacked with more than just four name players. The top four are fielding 8-10 genuine elite players.

Recruitment improved with the addition of Api & Ice, but the extended squad they joined just wasn’t up to first grade standard.

Well there’s posts of him in uniform and post-game photos so I feel like it isn’t about it the GF but who knows

I'll take your word for it😆

Does the author of this article really think Hunt is still an exciting signing, would imagine Sam Walker or someone else would be bigger news. I guess Hunt news sells papers...

I know right. He’s gonna be 36 in 2026 FFS 😅

They're fielding 8-10 elite players that they developed, not bought. And those elite players weren't elite in their rookie season. It's impossible to buy a comp unless you're the Roosters. We have enough raw talent that, with the addition of an influence like Luai, we should be reasonably competitive. It's up to the coaching staff now.
We're never going to win the comp. No team other than Penrith, Storm, Roosters or Broncos will be premiers while the current NRL hierarchy are in place. But as long as we play good, entertaining footy during the season and string a few wins together, I'll be happy.

Yeah we’re in agreement on that. 8-10 wins next year would be a positive step forward. I think we need a couple more hardened first graders in the forwards to push any higher.

😂😂😂good one

Thanks.

A little giggle at Benjis expense, nothing too serious.

Hopefully that’s what the current wait is all about.

I’d still be sending a task force up to Brisbane to flip Kobe. He’s not marquee but in the zone.

Need some Richo fast talking, promise him the world and worry about delivering later. He seems pretty wholesome and innocent. Should be easy meat for Shane then.

Funny, that's literally exactly what I was saying.

And you see, amateur, I never once mentioned a 'trade'.

I was referring to offering those two to the Panthers if they're already staring down the barrel of losing To'o. In order to secure a release, players or money are often floated, particularly if clubs want to benefit from the deal.

That happens all the time. It's a deal sweetener. Exactly the same as negotiating a transfer fee or offering to pay some freight.

What you, mistakenly assumed, is that I meant a straight player swap, of which only one has ever been done, is that between Grant and Momirovski.

Sit down.

Amateur? 😂 What are you the pro of fan forums lmao? get a grip mate

Made me laugh when Damien Cook spoke to the media re Hunt, said he was a big reason for him to join the Dragons and hopes he plays his whole contract with him.
I’m pretty sure he has signed with the Dragons for 3 years

Nah.

You're an amateur at following a basic line of thinking in a conversation.

Those are definitely the words of a departing player. But to where...?

I’m happy to take that tag champ 😃 I have to say your claim before that there has only been 1 player swap in the NRL is completely false… there has been plenty over the years & 1 is currently happening between Cowboys & Sea Eagles. I guess I’m the amateur of following your conversations & you are the amateur of facts? Enjoy your night 😁

COWBOYS AND SEA EAGLES’ PLAYER SWAP
The Cowboys and Sea Eagles are reportedly set to complete a player swap, with Jaxson Paulo and D’Jazirhae Pua’Avase headed in opposite directions.
