Amazing how Dodo did us a favour for once by rejecting Papley in the Daniher deal #DonTheJacket

Don't take it as news. The proposal makes no sense.

 

[BIuebagger]

Papley being finalised tomorrow or Friday is exciting to hear.

 

[murphster]

The second half of * strategy is to over value your own players, demand too much and not get a deal done.

Then get credit for "winning" trade week and being ruthless without ever building a list that compete.

A good assessment of there tactics, morons.

I think you might be struggling with what the definition of rumour actually is.

a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth.

Sounds like a rumour to me, and discussing it here seems like the right place to do it.

Being made up and posted on facebook is not 'currently circulating'. That's the source. If nobody posts it here, it is not circulating at all.

We played our interest in Butler pretty well really. Got him in for a medical, which would have shown him we were keen, but when Papley officially nominated us it became apparent he was our backup target.

I still think we’d be happy to take him on for the right price, but ultimately the Saints will have a bigger contract offer and he will have to decide what he wants. He’d be best served going there, and at absolute worst our interest would have hiked up his price.

percent Matty.

His best game for the year (IMO) was that win against the Doggies.

Crippa fed him all day and it was glorious

7 clearances on top of those stats as well.

Amazing performance. He and Cripps had 26 and 25 disposals respectively at halftime (or the other way around.).

More of that from SPS moving forward...

 

[Wily trout]

really hope we’re still into butler, would much prefer him over betts especially when talking about the future

Agreed, might play 50/50 reserves next year, but then when Eddie retires a spot opens up for him. Love his tackling, could be a real weapon when trying to hold it in our f50

 

[BIuebagger]

Imagine declining Papley and a 1st for Daniher, knowing Fantasia is going to SA and he would be a upgrade on the player leaving #Dodorotrades

Come on down, Papsssss

Unless I've missed someone, if Butler joined he'd be the only premiership winning player in the squad now that Daisy is gone :O

They don't need another small forward/mid.

They do if Fantasia leaves. They played Ham in that elimination final. Not saying he won’t be a good player, but I know who I’d prefer and who’d be a bigger impact

 

[jj1978]

Perhaps the WC player is Willy? Heard he was after a long term deal to secure his future... something longer than 4 years apparently.

 

[CJMB]

As I have said previously, could you appreciate that some information is sensitive?

Have other ITK posters such as TheRedPill who generally has an impeccable record also mention an unnamed player?

I understand why many ITK posters are gun shy and I know in future, I will share any information I get in private

IF Fisher does go home we have to question the wisdom of letting players live with Crippa. First Byrne left last year and now talk of Fisher.

 

[Matty411]

Same question gets asked 10m later on radio.

Hi Sam.

I recently tweeted a similar thing and tagged trade radio in, so it may well have been my tweet or just... you know - common sen.

Actually, yeah probably my tweet.

But it was posted here... so it is by definition a rumour and it's fair play for discussion in this thread.

Even if it wasn't this thread is incredibly loose with what is discussed so singling this out is odd.

Uses his immense frame to his advantage in contested meal situations.

He would be hard to live with, as captain and god gets first choice to dine during all meals and consumes all protein accordingly (why is Fish skinny..). To gain entry to the house must perform "the feats of strength" against Cripps (Fish hasn't been inside for a long time). And how demoralising it must be to see trophy and awards on the mantle all being Cripps' and having none of your own.

 

[Faucon Bleu]

Trade period is a disgrace when you can finish it in 3 days why bother having it for 2 weeks?

I'm not singling this out. I call out every so-called 'rumour' that is started by a bullshit facebook page, and I think they should all be banned from the thread. They add nothing positive.

Think of it as back in the day when you had homework. If the teacher gave you 2 weeks to do an assignment you'd stretch it out, if you got a weekend you'd cram it all in on a Sunday. Typical human condition.
