So basically it's a nothing story atm?

Everything is a nothing story unless the club confirms it mate.

Premiership material - that's the call from @BrisbaneBroncos legend Trevor Gillmeister about the Brisbane side. Even though Anthony Seibold's team is the competition's youngest, @taking_an_axe believes they have created something special. https://t.co/VZ3A1cpmr5 #NRL #7NEWS https://t.co/WBAFbvNGTs

This can't be true...
The management can't be that stupid !!!

I’ll pay Hughes. Hetherington never played a game at halfback.

I can’t remember anyone else in the past decade or so

Peter Wallace went from 200 game halfback to NSW hooker.

also Johns interchanged to hooker a lot to accomodate Kimmorley.

damien cook also went from playing in the halves and even fullback in reserve grade to aussie hooker

 

[Nasheed]

Yeah there's heaps of halves that became hookers. What is this n**sense?

even our own JMK, and Cam Smith was half in his first season.

I wouldn't say that. For example it seems as though the Reynolds story wasn't a nothing story as it turns out there was seemingly some genuine interest there. In that case multiple different sources said it was a possibilty, and even the coach talked about it.

In this case though it's coming from one source and that's not known to be reliable as far as I have gathered. So I question why everyone's losing their shit? It just comes across that there's a whole bunch of people with axes to grind, and the slightest sniff of something that supports their view they jump up & and down shouting "I was right!"

Fair call mate. I never suggested discussions didn't happen re: Reynolds - it was more a case of on here it was a done deal and we were going to pay top dollar for him too - a furphy.
And yes, with the McCullough story there doesn't appear a lot of substance so far yet plenty of knickers in knots...even Channel 7 Sydney reported slightly differently to Channel 7 Gold Coast (the footage at the top of this thread).
Plenty of axes being ground no matter what the club does or doesn't do mate.

So if we’ve signed mculloch for 4 years whats your take then?

Cant find it but if true this is a disgraceful signing by your mates at the club surely you cant defend this?

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

When they say multi year I hope it’s only 2. 4 years is a big risk considering he’s 30-31

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

Reynolds return?
A defense minded hooker past his used by date?

oh my.... what has become of this once great club I love??

ive said before, I wasn’t pro or against Dib.
I’m not pro or against this board.

I JUST WANT A FUCKING BOARD WITH A CLUE WHO CAN GET US BACK!!! I DONT HAVE FAITH WITH THIS LOT EITHER!

 

[Nasheed]

I can confirm through my source that Mcullough talk is on the table,
But I am pleased to confirm that no, it is not a 4 year deal being talked about. That's ridiculous.
Edit: it's also his preference to remain at the knights, so expect Newcastle to keep him if he plays well.

 

[Nasheed]

McCulloughs stated aim is to be a 300 game player. He's 40 games short. You do the maths.

 

[Dog4life77]

Where to for Lewis??
I feel like he has missed his opportunity in the halves..
So either we move him on or try him at hooker..
It would be an advantage to have a 9 that can kick from dummy half..
I can’t see him fitting anywhere else in the team..
What are your thoughts guys?

My initial thoughts are he's too good at half to allow that, but we do have a hooker shortage and he's a defender so I don't see why not.

He’d be perfect as the team spokesman, he loves the camera and a chat. Give him Steve Turners gig and there you go all sorted lol.

Lewis can’t pass so I’m not sure how you think he’d be successful as a hooker?

 

[Nasheed]

I think ya very unwise to act in this 'recruit good humans' idea as it leaves you vulnerable down the Track when they misbehave.

also, imagine next year Mitch Pearce has a falling out with the new coach and wants to come to Sydney, Foran is busted and we have the chance to pick Pearce up for 600k in 2021, we then are in a position where we are two faced for picking a NRL bad boy.

ThEn there's A debate of 'is he really that bad' and next thing you know you're in a slide into a circus.

much better to promote yourself like Flanagan and Cronulla did as the second chance saloon of players who were banished from other clubs. Traditional critique no longer works then, when you own it. A good reason I want Flanno here.

and we avoid shit CHN scenarios.

 

[Natboy]

I've been here longer than you unless your rocking 2 accounts...

I had to start a new one after my original was deleted by someone we no longer talk about

 

[Natboy]

Found it for you mod
“Hypothetically, no I wouldn’t.
I see the need for experience and a mentor for JMK but he’s not the signing I would make. If it was short term from this week and the broncos paid some freight I’m not going to be crying myself to sleep over it either“

 

[Tassie Devil]

Hope the club folds, fucking dumb c***.

Damn. Just seen this.

You're a weird one mate. Saw you wishing the club loses games the other day so that Pay & Lewis would be dropped. Now this.

What's even more amazing is that no one has said boo about it, but crapped on about others simply pointing out that maybe the story isn't even true. You're one bizarre fella I've got to say. And this place can be twisted as fuck sometimes.
