Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The premise is that you seem to think there is a cautionary tale around Madge over the next couple of years, like failure is a realistic chance. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you wouldn’t talk in that tone with Benji and it would be more along the lines of only looking at his potential upside. It’s a bit one eyed.

I think it’s fair to make the connection that Madge will wear thin in Brisbane. Happened in Souths, happened with us too. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was eventually moved on from the Broncs at some point before his contract expires. I think he’s a brilliant rep coach given the short stints. I hope he doesn’t get moved on though as I always liked him.

With Walsh at the back they are always going to be a title threat, he started really believing how good he was back end of season & stamped himself as the best player in the competition. Expecting him to take another level over next few seasons which is scary.

Walsh grows in confidence every year I'm, slowly gaining respect for him

I hear you mate it really is a damned if you do/don't scenario isn't it for NRL followers, but not satisfying whichever way it results, it really stinks of the possibility of a strong team getting stronger as well, so much for keeping an even competition.

Would rejoice if Lomax was told he was allowed to play for a lower table team only or sit out a year.

I’d like to see the courts back the release Lomax signed that he can’t sign with another NRL club unless Parramatta allows it.
Personally happy to see the end of him in the NRL.

Unfortunately mate his attitude of me first and stuff everybody else seems to be a growing trait in the younger generation.

Not all are like that of course, I know some great young people with good attitudes, but it seems to be infiltrating more today, is this the result of having your head buried in social media most of the time, food for thought.

To be fair mate , he’s only got one career . And it’s usually over by 30 for most players as good as him , at least in Australia.
For me if you don’t like the playing group your with, and have no real loyalty to the club your playing for (this is the eels the team that is most notorious for getting players to break contracts early and leave thier club. Moses , Matterson, RCg , Blake etc. ). I wouldn’t be buying into that culture either . I mean they did it last year twice . To lomax and TDS . It’s a bit rich for a club renowned for lacking morals and scruples , to turn around and cry poor . It’s ironic the club that has done it more than any other club , is the one to take the player to court when the inevitable reverse happens .
I hate the contract breaking stuff , as much as anyone , but I have zero sympathy for the eels . That club is absolute worst . Worse than the dogs ! Worse than the storm . Worse than the roosters.

I rate parra at the same level as souffs,they are both beneath contempt and the 2 most despicable clubs that have ever existed in football.

Good points man, the game has changed so much from 20 years ago, one team players was more prevalent than today where players change clubs at the drop of a hat.

Also, most clubs held more integrity as well and not the dog eat dog anything goes to get the advantage.

So much more money in the game probably has created selfishness and pressure to perform, contributing to underhanded character.

I agree that a player has a limited time in the game to make their fortune (early thirties)
He was sitting on a good $ deal and gambled it by asking for a release to make bigger bucks with the breakaway union mob.
Now that hasn’t turned out as expected, he wants back in 😁
IMO
Parramatta are only doing what they are legally entitled to do,
Maybe other clubs and players should have done the same instead of just agreeing to be released mid contract without compensation.
Remind me what did Wests get out of releasing TDS early ?
If the answer is zilch then I would say that is extremely poor management.
Remembering this is a business hopefully making a profit not just giving away assets to your business competitor.

Why do we assume that RL is the only career they'll ever have. Not all of them are as dumb as rocks.
