it sucks when the vermin are winning comps and poaching our promising youngsters

[Danish]

I am talking players.

Mr Handshake Bennett still said he was coming after the news was out. It was a visit from Lachlan that made him shiit himself.

But what would I know? Most of my predictions are bullshiit.

We made a play for Lockyer that got the kibosh put on it as well. Can't remember what year exactly, think early 2000s.

Most of your predictions do turn our to be bullshit JT, as do most of the predictions made around here. Probably because none of us actually have a good line on inside info at the club as people in the positions to know that stuff aren't the kind of people who would go sprouting about on a public forum

Brett Kimmorley!

Still remember one of the nightly TV sport reporters confirming we had just signed Brett Kimmorley. Cant remember his name but can picture him. Short, dark hair, Tony ........ I think.

He certainly got that wrong.

Doesnt help that a lot of signings are very dependent on other factors falling into place. I think some on here have access to some good info. It might be fact that we are after a particular player, and he wants to come to us. But to get him other factors need to fall into place.
Ie. I have no doubt we want Taumalolo. But if we dont get rid of FPN and maybe some others, maybe it doesnt happen.

So some info may be right on the money. But getting it done is a whole different thing.

I do for sure. Unfortunately, none of it is football related.

And James Packer...

Still smoking, obviously.

Seems to never really look cool, calm, relaxed and happy...like when he was young[er].

[bondi-boy]

We can't get them all sadly.

No worries...we'll buy him if he becomes a star.

You'd hope the NRL will be keeping a close eye on Souths' salary cap spending.
Just because they now have billionaire and millionaire backers doesn't mean they can just do as they please with player payments.

A couple of things. Andrew Kellaway id not play for Scots this year, he finished school in 2013. But is a terrific RU player.

Angus Criton was only just one of ours. Apparently he contacted the club at the end of 2013 wanting to play SG Ball. They put him in the squad and if he actually played, it wasn't much. He left and did not really return due to Scots. This was the case with at least one other Scots boy playing for another SG Ball team. He would not have been on contract and if they really wanted him he would have been signed up.

On a brighter note we still have Paul Momorovski (spelling) who was stolen under $ouff$ nose and to a lesser extent Grant Garvey.
Paul was a souths junior since u8s

Kingbilly have you heard of Nat Butcher?

Apparently we've poached him from the Bunnies.

[Guest]

If he was really good, I think we'd have kept him.

[Vasco]

He starred yet only played four games.

How many of these threads have we seen about promising youngsters.

The odds suggest he won't "star" for too long.

Easts to win.

I don't claim any inside lane but my predictions are usually pretty spot on. I have other predictions that I don't put on here that are spot on too.

Your personal attack on me just because I had the hide to express an unpopular opinion on Mini did you no credit - and your mealy-mouthed attempt to justify it now by trying to paint everyone with the same brush doesn't help.

Anyway, don't despair. I have decided I won't bother putting any predictions up here anymore.

Yeah right.

Souffs can do anything they want.

Thats interesting news. I know of him and he is a standout for his age (17). I have heard he was a Roosters fan and $ouff$ would be absolutely devastated if the Roosters had signed him. He would have been much more important to $ouff$ than Momorovski or Gavey and 10X more important than Criton would have been for anyone.

[Kingbilly]

an update apparently Butcher signed a 3 year deal with $ouff$ in Aug 2012.
So I doubt we have him.
