So back when he's a kid he's only a dick because of bad advice, but then using and abusing the titans to bleed manly was......? Arrogant and selfish. This isn't a case of "oh hey I've got offers on the table at other clubs." This was a massively public done deal off to the titans lets go all the while holding his hand out to manly in the back room.Lui_Bon wrote: ↑June 15, 2018, 12:04 am...advised by his manager (an Orr) - and it worked.

As arrogant and selfish as he (still) is; if he fell in our laps we'd be silly to pass him up. He'd be the best halfback we've had in a long time.
I'm prepared to take Mr Gore's word for it that DCE is actually quite a good bloke. It's not his fault that he's not as dumb as some of his former teammates. And he's a better half than we've had in years.
I also question where the hell you get the idea that he's arrogant - what, you've watched him speak articulately in a few press conferences?
Yep. I am loving what he is doing at the Eels at the moment. We need that kind of prop here badly.
Right there with you on big Terepo. Have always liked his aggression.
Well get him down here to learn from the best in the business, Mr Ricky Stuart! The silver-tongued soothsayer who bleeds green, yet isn’t scared to shove it into a face if anyone dares to question his methods. Into his second decade of pulling the wool over the eyes of his employers - the bloke is a career politician.zim wrote: ↑June 15, 2018, 12:11 pmSo back when he's a kid he's only a dick because of bad advice, but then using and abusing the titans to bleed manly was......?

Then there's the whole latest Hastings issue where this "club captain" was the main culprit. What an arrogant, stupid and selfish thing to do to one of your own team mates.
There's nothing arrogant about speaking articulately as long as when you open your mouth you're not trying to talk your way around your latest issue, all the while never properly addressing an accusation. He's a politician. Plain and simple.
You don't think it's arrogant for him to tell manly he's not going to turn up to training? Who the **** is any player to say that to their club?
If you're willing to take Gore's word on things then you must love everything about the sharks too.
I believe he would. However, he is playing very good footy in a contract yr. So price is probably rising every wk.mamando wrote: ↑June 15, 2018, 1:36 pmRight there with you on big Terepo. Have always liked his aggression.
And further, wouldn’t he represent fantastic value for money? That’s surely the central tenet of salary cap management, and the first steps towards being competitive for marquee players. Our esteemed board and recruitment departments don’t ever seem to learn this lesson...
Yep, that was really poor. However, that entire team looked flat. To let the left winger score 4 tries is terrible... interesting that it was an all Jennings affair out there.
Haha so your sales pitch is: "I know you've got experience getting away with **** Cherry. Hold my beer."mamando wrote: ↑June 15, 2018, 1:41 pmWell get him down here to learn from the best in the business, Mr Ricky Stuart!

Awesome ****! I'm choice, bro.-PJ- wrote:Gday all, how is everyone ?
I'm fine.
Hey, you know when a try is scored and the ref will look left and right at his touches for a nod or a wink for confirmation right ?
Hahah - force of habit, I guess. The rule book states the ref is supposed to consult the sideline officials before awarding a try.-PJ- wrote: ↑June 16, 2018, 2:51 pmHey, you know when a try is scored and the ref will look left and right at his touches for a nod or a wink for confirmation right ?
Well..this morning in Toronto NSW while watching Macquarie v Stockton U12s the ref was looking left/right after every try was scored but THERE WERE NO TOUCHES...
"Reasonable price tag" ... I suppose that is dependent entirely on how you view him.
Of all the props on our books for next yr Terepo would be #1, yes i know we have a Pom and Sia. That says a lot about what we have right now in the position, but improvement is improvement. I see him as a bench #3 BTW, and a good one at that.Pigman wrote: ↑June 16, 2018, 7:10 pm"Reasonable price tag" ... I suppose that is dependent entirely on how you view him.
Terepo is a fine #3 or #4 middle forward, good bench player... he's fine but he's not moving the needle in terms of improving us in the W's and L's
So what is a reasonable price point for a guy like that?
I'd take him at 300k in a near 10mil cap... i wouldnt pay anything more for him. He's not nearly as good as you think he is. Or rather he's not as impactful or consistent as you seem to think he is. He'd be an upgrade on Bateman/Grubb, that's about it.
Do you think Smith, Slater and Cronk have taken paycuts to hold the dynasty together? We all know what they did the first time round and I doubt any pay cuts since have been minor.gergreg wrote:I think the point that Watmough is too much of a boofhead to make is that teams that have a real dynasty take smaller deals at the club to remain a dynasty. It's why players like Dugan and DCE will never truly experience long term success. Sure, some players have the mentality to earn the total maximum during their career, can't fault them for that, but I'm sure they'd change their mind at the end of their careers to experience success. DCE being slightly different as he has a premiership but I doubt he will achieve another.Lui_Bon wrote: ↑June 15, 2018, 12:04 am...advised by his manager (an Orr) - and it worked.

Well they did kind of take involuntary pay cuts when they got busted cheating. But I guess when you're paying your players an extra million dollars for 3 or 4 years they can easily afford a pay cut.Dr Zaius wrote: ↑June 17, 2018, 9:38 amDo you think Smith, Slater and Cronk have taken paycuts to hold the dynasty together?

I don't think that I'd put too much weight on Watmoughs opinion of someone's character. The guy is a grub.
I don't know. Id be pretty happy if he was our #3 this yr, but with Paulo and Boyd, you shouldn't need much more. I still think he is towards the top of that 2nd tier. You are right though, if he is #4, you are laughing.Pigman wrote: ↑June 17, 2018, 10:24 amYeah but you said it, that’s a reflection on how we’re at the position right now, not a reflection on how Terepo isMatt wrote: ↑June 17, 2018, 9:16 amOf all the props on our books for next yr Terepo would be #1, yes i know we have a Pom and Sia.

Like Bateman is a starting front rower for us in 2019 right now... that doesn’t make him an NRL starting caliber player
Just circumstances
I think if Terepo is your #3 middle you’d missing one guy at that position, if he’s your #4 you feel pretty good
