It’s typical “Bennett speak”.
Says one thing but follows up with carefully chosen words so that it is ambiguous enough to leave him room to go in whichever direction he wants after the fact.
He does say “we won’t be signing Latrell”, making people believe he isn’t interested at all but then follows up with the “I’m happy with the players I have IN THAT POSITION (in this case centre).
Latrell signs on as a fullback so Bennett hasn’t Technically misled or lied.
Love him or hate him (and I’m not a fan), but he is one of the best at it!
even if it were centre, Latrell is an obvious upgrade on those 2
The RL journo world always has been a joke.
I literally posted in this very thread years ago that i had seen Flanno and Steve Matai eating steak. The mole, josh massoud, james hooper and even our very own buzz rothfield went to press with that scoop. It was a done deal at one point. 3 years.
Thats how easily a rumour gets legs. Its stupid, these guys arent journos, they r bloggers
Blogger is generous, I call them gossip columnists. The kind of thing you would read in a Womans Day mag or something back in the day.
The steak thing is hilarious but some simple investigation and fact checking would have saved them some embarrassment. As soon as they hear reports that Flanno paid the bill they would know it's a total bs story haha
These nerds have a jar containing pieces of paper with the names of 'controversial' players. On a slow news day they reach in and pull one out.
Then they pull a name out of the team jar.
Then they spin the chocolate wheel to decide the theme of the story.
I think they have some duplicate copies of 'Fifita' & 'Dugan' in that jar...
I know Fifita has had injury worries but it would be absolutely brain dead of us to release another forward, especially a key one like Fifs.
He's our best player when he is fit and firing. It was depressing watching him for most of 2019
Imagine how low his discipline levels would sink to in a team like the Titans with crappy playmakers and no accountability. It would be Gal Circa late 2000's/early 2010's
Hanging **** on other teams and their supporters is kind of what we do as footy fans mate. Not sure exactly what triggered you, but unless you're a South's supporter you got it wrong.
I think I have figured out who the Wiz is - remember that Jigsaw bloke...
Trust one of you brain dead ****** to say some stupid sht like that. How original
It was more original than a Trump joke. FMD he didn't slap your mother, the only victim was the delivery
I don’t understand players not wanting to go to the Goldie.
It’s like an all expenses paid holiday.
all year round.
No one is going to hold you accountable, and if you are no good at public speaking you’re sweet too.
no one shows up to the games.
”win win”
Sweet Deal isn't it. Kinda like the Sharks in the later Sticky years. except we could barely cover expenses
Titans don't need a winger/centre lol they need a lock. and a prop. and a second rower. and a hooker. and a halfback
and a decent team
