Tooves was the Ray Ritchie figureBozo is trying to recreate the manly of 1980/81. The era before he arrived back as coach.
That's where we are going wrong - that x coefficient should be in brackets. It's a simple fix though. Premiers here we come.
what would Polonius know.
IMO only - I believe they will stagger signing announcements to coincide with membership pushes. So first up we have the auto-renewals. No need to announce anyone because that is automatic. Next big drive will be pre-Christmas so I think in the lead up to that, if they have any big names, they will be announced then to get people excited heading into a time when they spend money or have gift money to spend.
Uate lolAgree although I thought they would announce a signing to temper the uproar once ferris was shown the door
Uate lol
BTW - autocorrect changes Uate to "hate". Bad omen..?
Also RIP to RIBUate lol

The speculation gives us something to chat about though, which is probably a more positive vibe on here than after we know. I am betting that when we do know the team all we will do (depending on your view) will argue about how ****/good our recruitment is, how bozo ****ed up / didn't **** up again ..... agh the joys of off season. We could just go back to arguing about whether Barrett is up to it or not?I suppose it's all part of the plan, to release signings slowly so it entices us to rejoin, or join as members for 2017.
BUT, unless it's a big name signing , drip feeding maybe's, wannabe's, possibles but all most likely Blacktown bound players will do nothing to lift membership in 2017.
With the departure of 15 players, and Lyon ( and perhaps others to come) you'd think we'd be more advanced than we are at present.
Plenty of Yarts and Farrts out there with most still including Stewart / Skivvy, yet plenty of Twitface rumours suggesting neither will play.
Surely..........yes surely we are not going to leave it to February 2017 to find out neither are going to run around again, and we are left potentially very short of quality players right at the last minute.
Perhaps I'm just impatient!!
But can we just get in with it.........please?
Ah-ha, so that's it. Bozo was having a seniors moment and heard that a player with the name Myles was available and thought he was signing Gene Miles and instead, he ended up with Nate.Bozo is trying to recreate the manly of 1980/81. The era before he arrived back as coach.
I'd even say that hiku, symonds or gutho would have scored for the storm in that last movement if they had got the ball in the same position that Blair got it. I don't think jamie would have.Cheyse Blair is nothing...that one handed attempt at defusing a bomb cost Melbourne the GF and he showed no enterprise down his edge all game...
I think Tom Symonds, Jamie Buhrer, and Hiku were big loses...to a lesser extent I also think Gutherson was worth keeping.
In that case here's hoping he inadvertently signs Shannon thinking it is Les.Ah-ha, so that's it. Bozo was having a seniors moment and heard that a player with the name Myles was available and thought he was signing Gene Miles and instead, he ended up with Nate.
The same could be said about Lewis Brown. In that same seniors moment, Bozo probably thought he was signing Ray Brown again.
Tom Turbo is good centres cover provided we have adequate fullback cover. He's so naturally talented it's almost an upgrade.So worst case scenario as it stands (officially) - assuming we don't sign anyone else, and Matai / Stewart can't play on:-
01. Tom Trbojevic
02. Jorge Taufua
03.
04. Dylan Walker
05. Akuila Uate
06. Blake Green
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Darcy Lussick
09. Matt Parcell
10. Addin Fanua-Blake
11. Marty Taupau
12.
13. Jake Trbojevic
14. Lewis Brown
15. Nate Myles
16. Brenton Lawrence
17. Shaun Lane
Center Options: Matthew Wright, Jonathan Wright, Brayden Wiliame
Backrow Options: Frank Winterstein, Jamil Hopoate, Billy Bainbridge
That really worries me to be honest. If we get injuries, we are in trouble.
Hope to hell Matai can play on.
