There's another bloke who usually wears that jersey who actually started out at the Raiders, that has previous pedigree, would be cheap as chips and also young enough to find his best form again.

Just trying to figure out if I should trade Harris + someone (SJ/Avo/Burton/Brailey/Peachey/Dearden) to 2 x 650kish guns or DCE + Radley or Hetherington.
DCE's average without Turbo = 73, with Turbo = 60.
Think I'm going to lean towards 2 x guns after looking at that.

This will sound like I’m taking the piss but Brooks partnering Wighton/CNK/Hodgson as a spine is top 4 potential. There’s a good player there, and the Tigers would probably let Raiders pay cents on the dollar to get him off the books becuase they never seem to learn. He’s possibly the best option that is realistically on the market.
If we got brooks and paid less than what the tigers are paying him, you’d be happy enough. He is first grade material. The raiders are never going to get the likes of keary, so need to look at either damaged goods or super league. Reckon Ricky has had enough of those miserable poms for a few seasons.

also depends on what media you follow.
this 100%. Australian media, especially news corp sports journos love a negative story. You are hard pressed to find a positive one.
If i was 25 and earning 500K a year i'd think my shit didn't stink too.

Google Sydney Stack or Elijah Taylor
I think you never hear the AFL stuff much in eastern states, but the same things happen. It’s just hundreds of young people with cash and not always the most advantaged upbringings and there’s going to be stuff that happens.

The NRL in particular also have unprecedented access to our teams. You don't see Soccer, NFL, NBA media with cameras inside dressing rooms, etc. where these places are known as sacred ground for teams.

Can’t believe the media shoots them selves in the foot by trashing the sport they use to get viewers.

The media produces content that gets views/clicks.
The negative stuff 'sells', its a fact. The only way to stop it is if people stop consuming it. But they won't.

Tapine always turns into a gun post origin he's just 1 of those players that plays like shite for 2/3's of the season then transforms into a gun. However he never makes people's teams because most have low trades by the time he pulls his finger out.
Also at the Olympics NZ mens soccer team beat Sth Korea 1-0...it's coming home lol.

People need the negative stuff to validate their boring lives and fill a void. You're right, people just need to shut down social media and negative press that's spewed out but they won't. They need it as a distraction.

TRAPine. I had him a few times, usually towards the start of the season but he failed to live up to expectations every time. Maybe it is like you said....and that I got sucked in a couple of times by his end of year performances and thinking he was moving up the pecking order, when in reality it was likely just increased involvement due to injuries perhaps. It'll take a lot for me to go there again. (though that said, next pre-season I'll be looking again....)

One example from 2018 and one from 2020. In NRL they appear to be much more frequent. Also a lot more EPL and NBA players. What about NFL? What about our A League?
Age doesn't really come into it. All professional sports are the same age, all get paid a truckload.

Whereabouts you headed and what're your plans while you're over there?
My partner just wants to see her family so Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown.
Early reports are 8 week pause on the bubble.

You should be charged to post on social media. 1 or 2 dollars a post and make people think about what they are posting. Forums are free thoughwolfking wrote:
