Mbye to Madge = Rankin to JT

Absolutely, the double standard is breathtaking. What message is Maguire sending to other players?

Who is going to take Mbyes spot

He’s a worry that guy.
I’ve been very patient but really he either shows marked improvement or is shown the door. And I don’t care how much freight we carry for next few years.
And he’s shown that he is no captain material.

Just read 5 pages trying to catch up on any news, not one rumour or signings, 5 pages basically debating what half we need. Sure we need a half, but a goal kicker and a few backs who can run would also help

The thread is called suggestions and rumours, so don’t be surprised if people are merely making suggestions about who they’d like to see signed.

I get that … but mate … 99% of this is becoming straight out of suggestions basket. Not at all complaining about the guys posting well meaning suggestions … but those gems of rumour postings are nowhere to be found.

TBH Woods played at his best when he was with the WT, he was one of the first picked for NSW SOO.

He is like a bloody lost soul and plays like it.
Some people make a great big mistake in their career path and he is definitely one big example.
Probably unforgivable what he did with the club that gave him Captaincy and the commentary he came out with was pretty poor.
But forgive but don’t forget is my motto so on his return … yes I think return to WT would be a good result for both parties. I know that his form has not been outstanding but return to his junior club and taking a forwards leadership role may work.

Nobody who has been to Liverpool or Campbelltown in the previous 14 days will be allowed into Queensland from midday today (14/7)

How do you prove you haven’t been to either of those locations?

Those infected Vics were at Kurnell and Caringbah even though their Premier requested they not travel.

Apparently travellers into Queensland claimed they were not in Victoria. Boarder people checked their mobile phones data which retains/identifies your location movements history.
Showed that the6 were in fact from/in Victoria so They were turned back on that basis.

SIGH!!! Oh what I would give for the days when this thread was filled kamikaze signing leaks and rumours postings.
Ahhh but most of those contributors are now long gone or banned … and were now left with the idle “would it be nice if we signed” chatter.
Works for some I guess.

Appeal result has come in for Jayden Okunbor and Corey Harawira-Naera. Okunbor suspended for 14 Matches, pay fine of $22,500 and undergo such course of counselling or community service as the NRL CEO may direct. Harawira-Naera suspended for 10 matches and pay a fine of $15,000.

No truth at all to the Brooks/Grant rumour. People are over complicating this situation when it is very simple. There is no need for a trade from either side, it will be completely up to Grant should Smith stay on.

In other news, Canberra looking to acquire Granville to cover Hodgson and the Dogs making a big play at Reed Mahoney!

We should have a crack at Mahoney too. Quality hooker

God … really … how many hookers do we need!

For me some clubs always seem to get in good books by referees and that’s not just something that’s happened recently.
People will always argue that so and so club is well coached so … but your not going to tell me that you end one half of the game with no penalties and what ? One restart.?
It’s hart to watch games anymore with that served up to you but officials.
For Christ’s sake it’s not that hard?
And don’t get me started with the review Committee crap and video box calls.
If there’s one area of the game that is killing this game it’s that.

Not his best game. He needs a change of environment and coaching.
Madge should seriously consider talking to his mate in Melbourne and organising a full year swap.
It may work.

Well for me this was not unexpected given the side we had on the path.
I know that we have injuries and suspension to content with but that’s all part of the game and our backline weaknesses are exposed over and over again.
Harry Grants worst performance with us so far. And I thought our forwards held their own but never really got on top to allow our spine to work properly. Our back line was just shambles.
Referees are always a problem for us so nothing new there. The opposition is always allowed to stand offside so …

Positive is our never give up attitude … So better days … ahead … hopefully!
