Memo to flanno GAL PLAYED 16 GAMES... That's twice now he has said he has played 13

pedantic much?

 

[HaroldBishop]

Only eight weeks to the start of the regular season from Thursday. It's not that far away.

 

[Gumby]

^^ still too far away lol

 

[deano the p]

Agreed Gumby.

 

[sharkyboy]

****ing hell 8 weeks. CHEERIN'

 

[HaroldBishop]

Beau Champion has signed back with Souths. Wonder how much he cost them, his value would have gone down over the last 12 months. I wouldn't have minded him at Cronulla.

Has anyone seen the movie Moneyball? With Brad Pitt & Jonah Hill? I wonder if Phil Gould watched it and now he's doing the same thing at Penrith.

There was a whole thread on Flanno using moneyball tactics over the past couple of seasons on the CSSC forum. I think Garbs was the one responsible for that one

Yeah I would have happily signed him up. Would be fairly cheap now I wouldve thought.

With the loss of Lewis, Gordon & Jennings (maybe?). And the recruitment of alot of underrated/unwanted players, the similarities are uncanny.

never got that thread, i dont see how 380k for Gordon and 450k for lewis is money ball. quite the opposite really

yep looks like they were freeing up some $$ to make a play for Jennings

 

[HaroldBishop]

I'd be more worried about signing a decent half if I was in their shoes.

 

[dylan the villian]

Oh but ask jig they have the greatest half to ever play 14 games ......

aiden sezer is more than decent

 

[HaroldBishop]

aiden sezer is more than decent

Even better than Chad?

I doubt 380k for Gordon although if he plays like billy he is worth it.

can make sense. Have 17 players that can do the right things, that 3 that do excellent things and 14 that cant wipe their arse

Aim higher. ****s on Chad
