Confucius say that
On net, stupid is same as
Clever sarcasm

And a rhyming couplet for good measure:
What should we call the opposite of an *edit*
When a sucker instead gives a post too much credit

You’ve just got to back away at this point I guess and marvel at the human brain...

But I’ll get back to you with a haiku zim

It's quite honestly beyond comprehension.

Yeah heaven forbid people responsible actually did their job, like the state's.

It was filled by Matt Frawley after the 9s

He is player 29, still one to go.

1. CNK
2. Simonsson
3. Croker
4. Scott
5. Cotric
6. Wighton
7. G Williams
8. Soliola
9. Hodgson
10. Papalii
11. J Bateman
12. Whitehead
13. Tapine
14. Havili
15. Guler
16. Horsburgh
17. Lui
18. Sutton

25. Frawley
26. Kris
27. Oldfield
28. Smith Shield
29. Valemei
30. Timoko * (not officially confirmed top 30 though I don't think)

Does that look about right GE?

I was surprised looking at signing threads last weekend to see Valemei is top 30 and not development.

Post by **greeneyed** » February 18, 2020, 11:08 am

Timoko is likely development according to today’s press.

That was the latest official list:

Takeout Leilua, add Frawley.

I'm not sure why we didn't just sign addo-carr over Scott.. a deal most likely would of got done if we threw our hat in the ring seeing as he almost signed elsewhere for 2020 and is almost certain to move on at the end of the year.
He is the best winger in the comp and would of provided a bit of fun around the squad after losing the larrikins leipana. We could of lined up like this..

1. CNK
2. Bailey
3. Toots
4. Cotric
5. Addo-Carr

You could argue Cotric is not good enough at centre but he is more than serviceable there and will only get better with age.. alongside Addo-carr he would have been deadly and Carr would of provided a bit of extra sheer speed.

Scottric obviously has potential, but food for thought..

I thought the point of JAC leaving Melbourne was to move back to Sydney.

zim · Post by **zim** » March 2, 2020, 9:11 am

It is.

GMGT · Post by **GMGT** » March 2, 2020, 8:57 pm

That's got me baffled. Not sure who would leave anywhere in the world to head back to Sydney.

BJ · Post by BJ » March 2, 2020, 8:59 pm

I imagine Addo Carr is after more money than Scott.

100% agree, its horrible there.

Unless you have a few million and are on the water.

Brew · Post by **Brew** » March 3, 2020, 6:11 pm

Yes it is horrible but a good footy player would be on good coin to buy a decent place in Sydney

Even then, what would say a million get you? A broken down shack from 1922? Hard pass for me, to get something decent in Sydney you would have to spend at least 3 mil I'm assuming. Sure nrl players can afford that but still not worth wasting your life for.

Ruben Daley · Post by **Ruben Daley** » March 4, 2020, 9:09 pm

Sydney would be an awesome place to live if you were a high-profile footy player on good coin getting all the perks they do. And I'm sure JAC will be lucky enough to find a very nice pad for a surprisingly good value price from a real estate guy his new club introduces him to.

Id move back there in a heartbeat if i could afford to live in the area i'd want to be in. And JAC can probably do exactly that.

EJ · Post by EJ » March 5, 2020, 12:27 pm

Lol what are you lot on about. In general, Sydney is a great city to live in.

$3m+ for a "decent" place? There are many other areas other than Rose Bay to live in.

Def has its issues, like most places... Seriously overpriced though... if i didnt live in syd i certainly wouldnt be moving here

Johno · Post by **Johno** » March 5, 2020, 7:24 pm

Imagine buying a place in Sydney for 3 mill when you could live near the beach in Wollongong. I think the furthest you could be from a beach is 20 - 30 minutes max.

gerg · Post by **gerg** » March 5, 2020, 7:33 pm

Isn't Wollongong just as expensive?

My mum owns a nice 2 bedroom apartment in Sutherland, with a large terrace. She is close to shops and public transport and not all that far from the beach. It's probably worth between 700k and 800k.

People these days seem to want their dream home in a perfect location for their first property. It's unrealistic.

Yep. I'm in an 8th floor penthouse with city and water views. Close to train, shops and schools. 10mins from Cronulla beaches.
Less than half that. A lot less.
