Iinteresting. There’s a definition of flappy gums which is accurate in your case:

Alas no-one knows what ‘Gummy Gus Flaps’ are:

Now I can’t be gummy because you told me before my teeth were orange and even though I fly quite a bit, I don’t have flaps on my person.

Could it just be that not even a dictionary understands the carry-on of @EddieTheEagle? :-).
You honestly can’t be that cognitively impaired that you didn’t understand what I was implying.

Fuck the Kennel had turned into a swamp of shit these days.

I love coming on and seeing the biffs, but at the same time I also love hearing people's views on the dogs. Being abroad, I don't know many of these players so really value people's insight.

There's actually so little on this thread about Tracey, whereas most of it is dick measuring and pissing contests.

Shame really but I guess you have to expect it? I did get a thread ban for doing much much less tho ... money speaks I guess?
You’ve got one pro Gus imbecile just spamming the word “scum” and nothing is done about it. It’s pathetic

I’m certain you use a few accounts too.
Wouldn’t surprise me if you had a few accounts going around. Suspiciously too involved in Flanagun and 04Dreamings posts everyday.
Wanna bet your house on it?

And you’ve got the same trolls posting shit in every thread. People are starting to get fed up with it. The mods can step in at any time.

We are addressing the topic with an opinion which is literaly the point of a forum. Then theres the others who just abuse and start fights with all of there posts which is apparently ok in ur book? And then theres u who are obsesssing over apprent dupe accounts in every thread which has nothing to do with the topics either. By letter of the law u and ur cronies should be first ones banned

Can you bump the fight club thread Tassie?
We can meet flappy gums over there.

The Tracey thread is quiet because it’s not a confirmed singing (yet). My opinion is he’d be a handy addition - played well at 1 on the Sharks run to the finals this year. Doesn’t solve our forward issue but there’s not much out there as the club made perfectly clear and gives us more depth and options in the backline. Much of TK whined about Perham and Casey in our NRL team (and there were far from good) but we were hardly flush for choice either.

Nice try clown. If you had half a brain you’d see I rarely posted anything non footy related or even argumentative until you trolls turned up your bullshit propaganda in every thread. You get as good as you give. Then again you wouldn’t know as both you and the parrot have only shown up recently? Go figure

By the letter of the law you and your mates are only lippy behind a keyboard. Members here are sick of you and when the mods finally are you’ll be gone

Just stop, Fam. Honestly, you’re only embarrassing yourself lol
So many people boast how you're on block and you still get more replies than anyone.

Every 1 step forward we make we are making 2 steps backwards. This needs to change.

We launched new teams for 2021, 2022, 2023 and now 2024. Why is this team any different?

Keep talking big behind that keyboard. That’s your happy place. You’re not a victim. You’re getting exactly what you’re fishing for

Probably because we’re now rid of Barrett’s flop signings - the last ones being Flanagan and TPJ - two expensive duds. On top of that we had lots of money tied up in Thompson (not getting much value), a couple of flops in Davey and Pele and players barely of NRL quality like Okunbor or Casey. Outside of Crichton we may not have recruited suoerstars for 2024 but we’ve recruited experience and depth and that alone should put us in a better place than 2021/22/23. Simples.

@04 Dreaming Some of us focus on the topics and raise concerns that it's not going to end well. We are allowed to do this.

Whenever people question the narrative they cop a tirade of abuse some even go to extremes. Seems like the yes campaign and that failed miserably despite all momentum.

I will re-post my comments re Connor Tracey.

27 years old. 66 NRL games. 27 Tries.

Jake Averillo is only 23 years old. He's played 78 NRL games. He's scored 31 tries. He's scored 21 tries in the last 2 seasons.

We flicked Averillo who's 4 years younger and already has more games.

People are calling this a rebuild. The signs are there it isn't. We have every right to air concerns.

Averillo should have been a central figure of any rebuild.

The other point I'm raising is the Top 30 roster is currently exhausted. To sign any player for 2024 will either have to involve a reasonable trade or involve another contract being written off as a bad investment. Too many contracts have been written off it's a concern. Again raising points not trolling.

I don't think we have the cap space to write off contracts or RFM be gone by now. RFM isn't gone.

I also raised every signing except for Crichton been unwanted by their former clubs. This is not trolling. This is legitimate concerns.

Does the pursuit of Tracey and the flagging of Burton to centre mean the club is now having some doubt whether Xerri is going be right for 2024?

Signing Xerri for 2 years on top 30 was a massive risk. No other club showed serious interest. Market value 1 year on train & trial or development.

In another thread I raised concerns about Ciraldo's tactics 2 games in a row an outside back went down, both games a specialist 5/8 was on the bench and in both games a forward Topine was thrown to the wolves. Burton both games should have pushed out to the centres as a stop gap. Ciraldo gets a free pass. Topine gets savaged to pieces. Who's got the agendas?
