Who?

 

[Philmus]

Rewind back to start

hope he gets snapped in half when we play them

 

[bradyk]

I haven't watched yet, I know there are more skilful centres out there but I really liked the cnt in him and he genuinely loved the club and bled blue and white. I would of kept him but we'll also be fine without him. Alamoti and Xerri's a nasty combo.

 

[Moedogg]

Couldn't be bothered watching. Can someone sum up what was said please?

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Goodluck to him. I will enjoy watching him play for the Titans.
Interesting he said he prefers right centre and we never played him there.

 

[the hound]

hard and willing but could not pass to his left. fox was getting cold, any quality ball was a burton cut out.

 

[ddt192]

All the best Schouppy

Ok here goes.

Said he wanted to be a one club player and had no intention of ever leaving. Only wanted the club to tell him he was one of their first grade centers moving forward. Didn’t care about the money. Club said they have other plans for the future.

Said Barrett never gave him much feedback on what he needed to learn.

2022 was pretty confusing with all the media stories but not much of it talked about in the club. All behind closed doors.

Prefers right centre and had been training at right centre in cup, but got brought in to play left centre and stayed there.

Said it’s a very different vibe playing in GC where footy isn’t the heart and soul like belmore.

Was close with Dufty and Vaughan and that very little was said about them moving on.

Likes Holbrook’s coaching style, very supportive coach and feels confident playing for him.

Basically his manager told him Titans were keen, they went to the club and asked where he sat in their plans, they told him to pursue other options.

Still has a terribly creepy mustache….

Thanks for that, appreciate it.

Still don't understand why we couldn't keep Vaughn for another year.

 

[Mackdoggies]

Thanks for that, appreciate it.

Still don't understand why we couldn't keep Vaughn for another year.

Agreed. I think everyone really liked PV. I imagine if they knew JJ was going to retire they would have kept Paul for sure. Pop

 

[The DoggFather]

Genuinely forgot about this dud

Yeah I feel the same way as you.
Unfortunately he was only ever going to be a fringe NRL back up at our club long term.

He had to move on for his own development and nrl opportunities

Can't keep em all Unfortunately

 

[EXPLORER]

Thanks for that, appreciate it.

I agree,
I think we would have really benefited having him in our squad for this season at least.

 

[D.O.W.]

His heart will forever bleed blue and white, shame we couldn’t find a spot for him at centre, one of the best defenders in that position. I feel like a simple draw and pass skill set would have had him remain in the team - maybe it was the pressure to perform under his previous coaches forcing him to overcommit with ball in hand? Who knows? Or, potentially Alamoti’s rise and Critta’s recruitment?

We can only wish him the best at the Tits.

Interesting point about him telling the boys at lunch he was moving on and by the time he got home it was in the media. Another podcast, BKRSport made a comment they get inside information from a player and then laughed that it isn't Flanno like a lot of people think. The guy is a bit of a wanker though

These kebab brothers have been getting some serious sauce on the show. Yalla let's trot uleh.

 

[Philistine]

Most people on here don't think very highly of Buzz Rothfield, or sports journalists in general, But one thing I can say in Rothfield's favour is that I've never seen him in a Bret "the Hitman" Hart fanboy tee shirt.

 

[B-Train]

I haven't watched the clip, but it sounds like he didn't say anything negative about the club or players. Quite the opposite. He played with great effort every game. I hope he does well at the Titans.
