Hearing Packer’s a good chance to be done in a swap/Reynolds still hopeful a team (UK?) may be able to pick up the bulk of his contract... that’s the way the cookie is crumbling atm

Will update with confirmation of clubs and figures probably at the same time our media department do? McQueen staying.

There's no one chasing Packer, he'll earn top dollar playing reggies.


Based on knowledge or just an opinion??

The former...

Well that’s disappointing then

Adam Hartigan has join the club from the Roosters as the new General Manager of Football .... so he and Madge are the head honchos as far as I can see.

G'day @momo_amp_medo: good to see you back again. I was a bit worried about you after you wrote a very out of character for you post, a couple of days ago.
Then I noticed you had deleted it.
I hope everything is ok at your end? :fa-smile-o: 😛oint_up:

All fine thanks mate. One of those days I’m afraid .... And then read couple of things on this thread which got my eyes spinning. So was taking it out on my keyboard.
Going away with some friends doing a comedy cruise out of Sydney .... then down to Phillip Island for a family get together. So that will cheer me up a bit.
All the best.

G'day @momo_amp_medo: really pleased to hear "all fine".

I guess there's nothin as good as a comedy :smiley: cruise to cheer you up, eh!

Will you be racing a motorbike around Phillip Island during the Family :man-woman-boy: get together?

Whatever you do Momo, relax :relaxed: and enjoy your time away, and safe traveling :small_airplane: :fa-smile-o:

Why does this guy get a bad rap ?
Our junior system was a sight better with him than without him.

Did hear Halatau on the ABC last weekend saying that Packer's year wasn't helped by some injuries, and that he hopes to get a good pre-season and then be able to play more next year. It definitely sounded like he'll be here in 2020.
So I guess I'll be clinging to the hope that he can turn things around with Madge's help... on his day he still adds to our forwards, even if it's off the bench.

I find it funny that Packer statistically out performed Clark this season yet lots of people rave about Clark's performance yet lay the boot into Packer. Yes pay packet is a factor, but in the end no prop made fewer metres for us this year than Clark. No one bats an eyelid when he makes 4 hitups for 24m.

Both are similar players, and neither really offer what we need. Hopefully they both leave the club but if they're both fit and still with us Packer gets picked ahead of Clark for sure.

@balmain-boy Packer is a bench forward I have no doubt and if he can get the injuries soughted I see no reason why he could not contribute to the team ! I am probably a bit more positive than most regarding Packer for next season if he is still at the club !

Clark 2019
RUNS: 63
RUN METRES: 557
8.85 avg per run

Packer 2019
RUNS: 41
RUN METRES: 416
10.15 avg per run

I'd take Clark any time over the veteran as there are lots of upside and he is young. Packer is only 29 yrs old but man he looks really old when taking the ball up front.

Totally agree mate I don’t get it either and then he’s been back for 5mins and now getting the blame by some for things turning to crap again.

As I said tho some people don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story!!

 

[Madge]

Eisenhuth is having surgery according to Josh Aloiai, not sure what for though.

I think Jabba the hutt is more of an assistant to Dave Warwick. His only talent is spotting a Macca’s from his recliner 🤭

To improve his leg drive.....
