2013 NRL General Discussion Thread

[slide rule]

Surely souffs have not got 15k already, I think that's a bs number, that would indicate they would have 45k by kickoff round 1,

Yeah seems like way too many.

I'm astounded that they can have such a high membership base anyway, given the incredibly **** crowds they used to get through the 90's.

I know that their fans probably appreciate them more now and make the effort to take out a membership, but given their small number of active supporters in the past, I struggle to believe their numbers.

Also,some of their crowd numbers this year have looked incredibly exaggerated at times...

 

[dylan the villian]

I just can't see how after 2 months 15k have signed up, I think that a bs number,

 

[A.Snowden]

Mose Masoe signed with Penrith.

 

[josh11223344]

They've picked up some good young players, will be interesting to see how they go.

 

[Mr Wright]

To all whom are interest here are the current standings on 2013 memberships.

1. Rabbitohs (15,009)
2. Broncos (14,300)
3. Dragons (12,353)
4. Knights (11,013)
5. Bulldogs (8,009)
6. Storm (7,947)
7. Eels (6,022)
8. Tigers (5,008)
9. Warriors (4,300)
10. Roosters (3,362)
11. Sharks (2,700)
12. Cowboys (N/A)
13. Panthers (N/A)
14. Sea Eagles (N/A)
15. Raiders (N/A)
16. Titans (N/A)


I know it doesn't look to flash coming last out of the clubs whom have released their membership numbers, but at least the club has the balls to give updates. Also going off last years membership numbers and the current standings of certain clubs I think we're ahead of the Panthers, Titans and Raiders.

I belong to clubs on that list unfortunately

 

[DeathMoth]

i really wish i was in a position to buy my membership now. i probably won't get it until just before the season starts. i'll have one though and i'll be at most home games. good times.

 

[Bundy Shark]

All of us Sharks supporters who absolutely detest the Dragons like I do should encorage as many of our mates who are also Sharks suppoters to become members, to have a bigger members base than that of the Dragons.

 

[Great_White_Shark]

Wolfman still off contract, anyone keen?

 

[Bundy Shark]

Good player but always injured, doubt we could get him cheap, would like him, sign him to a contract that reflects his status providing he plays the required amount of games set in his contract but as I said I dont think he's management would advise him on that type of contractr considering the amount of games he actually plays per season.

 

[josh11223344]

Definitely interested depending on our cap situation.

Antonio winterstein just re signed with the cowboys, he's the sort of player i'd like to see us wrap up early. Young, good try scorer and explosively fast and strong.

Yeah I think he will compliment our backline nicely,

1.Gardner
2.Ryan
3.Pomeroy
4.Gordon
5.Wolfman

Or

1.Gordon
2.Ryan
3.Pomeroy
4.Leutele
5.Wolfman

Either way leaves us with depth consisting of

Gardner/Leutele
J.Wright
M.Wright
Mills
Stapleton

Considering that means last years first grade backs would be this years reserve grade team that's pretty good,

And I'd take the risk on Wolfman, if he does get injured we have depth to cover in Stapo/Mills/J.Wright/M.Wright

Definately interested

 

[A.Snowden]

He has done what mundine does in boxing. Dodge anyone with ability.

If $BW was serious about boxing he would take the fight with Lucas Browne. Been calling him out since Williams started boxing and Williams has been running away from the fight ever since.

Here is Lucas' latest reel. Can be sloppy at times but has raw power. Has been training with Ricky hatton in the uk for a while now so has developed well over the past 6 or so months.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I just can't see how after 2 months 15k have signed up, I think that a bs number,

A lot of their members are on rolling memberships. By that I mean they sign up to a monthly direct debit which doesn't stop until you opt out. I wouldn't be surprised if the figure is correct.

 

[snowman]

i like your quote about mundine dodging anyone with ability S1, just proves my theory that danny geen is **** house losing to him

 

[Bundy Shark]

Not saying Danny Green is great or anything but that fight he had w/ Mundine, he was way to light for that fight, similar to how Shane Cameron was way to light in the recent fight he had w/ Green, weight plays a huge role, its a fine line between being able to show your best stuff v's just being in the ring & punching away but there is no power behind the punches.

Tamou sticks with cowboys

 

[josh11223344]

one of matty scott or jt will be out of there at the end of the season. Who's keen on scott?

 

[sharks2010]

They have a host of players of contract
Would love Tate
I think jt will stay and I'm surprised tamou agreed with out jt's future sorted or tamou has inside info and knows jt is staying

Will be interesting to see how he goes. He's got a good footy brain, problem is he'll be using it on the bogan muppets that make up half the Raiders squad.
