"I understand the price and Dragons going for him. Though he is a one year wonder. He will be 28 and had injury history. It is a gamble. However, St. George are in the position where they need to gamble."
"Apparently they were keen, but the $1mil price tag warned them off. "
"Trey Mooney was indeed a no-brainer"
"The bulldogs should of done everything to offload Burton for Metcalf. Sexton is no world beater but look how far backwards Canterbury have gone since replacing him with a rookie 5/8"
"Long term contracts are too risky with props. It's very rare to see a prop at the top of his game year after year. Parra were right to not go the extra year on this occasion. I don't disagree sometimes you have to pay a bit extra to get the deal…"
"Yes, good points PG....someone like French has become more of power player based on his speed that he always had and then his filling out. Nikorama falls into that category as well and I am sure there are a number of others some can think up."
"I think you miss the point Adam in that metrics is a result, its identifying the body types and bringing the ones through that are being seen as succesful in this new age. Thats more the point of what the blog is about."
"Yeah good point. It's Halfback tax. Half decent ones garner big money. If you don't have a Halfback a 7.5/10 one gets same as a 9/10 Halfback just by how important the position is. I beg Boyd nearly tripled his salary in his NZ extension basically…"
"There are poor decisions in there. The 2021 off-season was a clear disaster that has set us back slowley. But MON is one of many within the building working together making decisions for this club.
They are doing what they feel is best for the club…"

"Less than the dogs offered Thompson. "
"7 is the most important position on the field. You buy the best available option at the price you need to pay. I mean Flanagan or Metcalf? No brainer. 1m is not a crazy asking price"
"Daz in all respect you solely blame Ando for that? I think it was also about the head of the board too.....and tbh it was 10 yrs back; and he has worked with some decent clubs (Easts). But fair enough....."
"He is head of recruitment i believe Mongolian / Pathways. Ando has a great knowledge of the game and wish we had someone like that.
You see with the chairs moving down at Mulgoa Rd (Penrith) I would be sounding out Matt Cameron now....he could be in…"

"We have mucho dinero and Braith is all about the lucre.
I like the idea. Drive the proverbial dumptruck full of cash around to his house and see what happens."

"Maybe, maybe not. It could just be the challenge he's looking for. Having been a manager he's had a great feel for negotiation. He also knows what a successful football club looks like. He also has a key ingredient that we haven't had since Denis…"
"Daz, is your name really Prof Mark? (you can tell me I'm reeely good at secrets)"

Ahead of the game this weekend I thought I would do a video on my Youtube channel about the rivalry between Parramatta and Melbourne. What started off as a grudge match has slowly turned into a bitter rivalry over the years and the Zac Lomax thing…

Speed, Power, Athlelicism.... Not Specifically Size......these are the key areas that are emerging under these rules that have been forced on teams.
We have a poster on here JC, who wrote some intriguing stuff about touch football techniques and the power and speed aspects of our forwards in the game and the effect that power running backs add to that equation. I thinks he explains a lot out of…

Metcalf Dragons bound.
Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf…

LOL...another story with Freddie Truman and this time Australian Opener Bill Lawry on his first tour to England.
Lawry facing up against Truman who is playing for his beloved Yorkshire.
First 3 balls Truman coming of the back fence beat him all up, each time Bill Lawry said well bowled Mr Truman, showing all the respect of a youngster in his first game against the fast bowling legend.
4th Ball cleaned bowled.....Lawry says well bowled Mr Truman.....Truman reply's
"I laddie, shame I had to waste it on you!"
Here's one Poppa which may or not pass muster in our woke society. If thats the case I'll blame you for encouraging me! .Mark Waugh ws at 2nd slip when Kiwi Adam Parore came to the crease and promptly played and missed the 1st ball......Oh I remember you from a couple of years ago in Australia. You were shit then and you're f.....g useless now. Parore (turning around) said- "Yeah thats me, and when I was there you were going out with that old ugly cow. And now I hear you've married her, you dumb c..t"
Rod Marsh to Ian Botham: How's your wife and my kids
Botham to Marsh: The wife's fine, the kids are retarded
You're the winner A, thats the best yet!
LOL
Glenn McGrath to Eddo Brandes: Why are you so fat?
Eddo: Because every time I shag your wife she gives me a chocolate biscuit.
Mark Waugh to Jimmy Ormond: Look who it is, mate what are you doing here, surely you are not good enough to play for England.
Jimmy: That might be the case, but at least i am the best player in my family.
To this day that is the best sledge around.
Denis Lillee, Curtly Ambrose, Malcolm Marshall, Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath.
Ooh ahh Glenn McGrath, is my favourite bowler I think. As Mick stated there are heaps of goooduns that were always great to watch. DK was awesome as were the others mentioned.
Did like Hoggy as well as Lenny Pascoe.
