MONEYBALL VS LOCAL TALENT?

If Moses leaves

Purely hypothetical but after loosing Ice and Reed last season nothing surprises me anymore.

If Mitch goes we then have a gaping hole and 1 million in cap space where would you be spending and who you chasing? 

Signing Rumours

Adam Kerigan

Apparntly will be released by the Roosters.

Solid player covers halves hooker and the backline as well as being a very handy goal kicker we could do worse then sign him

What is it being human?

Alan Watts has a massive following throwing up questions about self...Who are you?. What makes you? For the footy minded---Is winning a premiership a big deal?

How bout them Greens.

Hmmm , I wonder if we will see any Lidia from The Rebels gags like we see " Scotty from marketing "?  Or maybe any gags about Lidias boyfriend murdering someone at Engadine Maccas or the like ?  I see she's now hiding behind the Indigenous banner say

Routers do it again

Angus Crichton re-signs for an undisclosed amount. How the hell can they remain under the salary cap. They have 10 players worth more than $750,000. So say the average is $850,000 then this is 8.5 million. Lyndsay Collins in on $550,000 So that means

Rea

Elie El-Zakhem

Apparently the starting backrower for Lebanon plays for us don't know too much about him is he any good 

Great too see if he can replace Ice and probably be matched up against him. 

Marty Tapau Released Immediately to Join Other Club

Is this us? He pushed hard to get to us previously.

David Fifita to test market

David Fifita has indicated his interest to test the market for his value.

Will he be a target for the club or will his price make the club pass on him.

Might take a pay cut for a chance of a premiership, something he will not get staying with the TITS

Some of the best quotes to think about before you speak

Anger management?----Have you ever thought about it.?

I think Brissies suspension has highlighted something we all struggle with -anger management. Maybe worth thinking about it for ourselves. We all can lash out at people with different opinions and values and some may say how we maybe have been progra

Banner

I don't like to ask as I know a lot of time would go into banners , but can we please remove this depressing fucker please Fui ? 

Six man bench

Luai worst player best team

Luai was one of the reasons NSW lost the last series, part of Fittler's I don't know how to select or coach teams. He was useless for Samoa against England when he needed to step up as a key position player.

He's the grub who gets under the opposition

Edwin Ipape

What a player we should sign him 23 years old and carved up a NRL pack of Tonga.
