Just seen an article on sportinglife.com (sorry don't know how to link) in which GH is apparently quoted and says "we made our interest known and were ready to proceed if given encouragement to do so - but we never even made an offer and we just had a watching brief"

Rabbitohs Members have had an Email stating Sam Burgess has signed a 2 year deal (2016-201icon_cool.gif so looks like he isn't coming anywhere near us.

Quite disappointed after all the Hype.

My theory. Sam has taken a Wage Cut to return to Sydney. If a player wants to go somewhere that badly, they'll do anything to make it happen!

Sky says 3 year deal

Means we have at least 175k spare on the cap. Personally I imagine there will be no further signings. And we will go as we are

Printer is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is (nobody could be THAT clever) so I'm happy to keep it going.

" its all good publicity [size=150when[/size you are selling season tickets." Is what Tony Soprano posted. He didn't say it was for the purpose of selling season tickets. He said it was good publicity [iwhilst[/i you're selling them.

Our resident know it all who is a mate with a marketing expert is the ONLY one who thought GH was giving the interview with the sole intention of selling season tickets.

It must be a typo in the initial Announcement. It must be 2016-2019. It's corrected to 3 year deal now.

A few pages ago....





But then....



So despite twice saying I don't think selling season tickets had anything to do it, yet another member of this board with the reading ability of Stevie Wonder is now claiming I'm the ONLY one who is thinking GH did it with the sole intention of selling season tickets.

And yet he has sly digs about other people being clever.

I can only assume you are being deliberately dense.

It almost certainly did have something to do with selling season tickets, just not the ridiculous idea that ONLY you put forth that he did it with the intention of solely and directly selling season tickets. You are the ONLY one to suggest that possibility, the ONLY one who thought that those posts were statements that GH's sole and direct intention was to sell season tickets.

Such an action could very well, very easily, and very most likely was an attempt to increase sales of season tickets (amongst other things) simply not in the narrow, scrambling, fog-knitting, ass-hatted way you have needed to define it. Which is why people have pointed out you were wrong, not to say that GH didnt do it with the sole intention of selling season tickets, but the narrow, scrambling fog-knitting, ass-hatted way you have defined 'marketing' sets up an entirely fallacious premise which misses the point by a country mile and leads you to answer a question which not only wasnt asked, but wouldnt be asked by anyone who knew even a tiny bit about it.

Just about everything you've written there is a figment of your imagination. You don't half re-read peoples posts incorrectly just so you can have a pop.

For one I've never offered a definition of marketing.

Fog. Fog as far as the eye can see.

I cant put into words how boring you all are.

Agreed, you can't change history.

20 - 19 - 3

Mossop's carries, metres made and number of tackles made from the GF?

Combined IQ of in order:-

The Backs, the Forwards and the Coach?

Ah well you can allus rely on the future .So they all told us once again .The next period of dominance is gonna be a big one.So they told us again.weve had a few of the forecasts since 2010.

The co-ordinates for the final destination of Tony Clubbs GF 'up and under'?

For those questioning what sort of 'marketing' or 'selling season tickets' pull Burgess has - Souths have reported that their daily membership sales tripled following the Burgess announcement.

The rumours around signing Burgess (on top of the already existing feel good factor) most definitely would have a positive impact on sales - though in my opinion, that wasn't the only reason GH went public....

One thing we now know is that there is minimum of £175k left free in the cap for next year.... That's a fair old chunk and would get us either a top top player, or a couple of very decent ones.

Today's YEP suggests that there will be no further recruiting by the Rhinos this season.

I don't reckon there is £175k free at present. Suspect such as Achurch and others would need to leave to enable a significant signing to happen. More likely that Uncle gary will be looking at back row options for 2017 to replace JJB and Achurch. Possible GH may try and sign a guy in the 2nd half of next season to help back row in same way garbutt helped front row this year and give squad a boost particularly if jjb gets injured again. Hope I am wrong.

I'm puzzled how it is that nobody seems to be able to read your posts correctly?

Either everybody else is a bit dim or your diction isn't quite as precise as you believe?

As the saying goes "You can fool some of the people all of the time etc"

No plenty of posters do read them properly. Yourself and Smokey and now apparently G1 don't. The latter of course piping up because he's still sulking that I criticised his beloved Tony Smith.

In light of a few posters nudging the reasoning of GH's comments towards Season Ticket sales I retorted with this light hearted little response .....



....that G1 and Smokey proceeded to wet their pants over. A light hearted pouring cold water over GH's motives being anyway Sales Ticket linked. Apparently the above post made turned me into someone claiming to be a marketing expert and to quote G1 "the only person to think GH was doing to for Season Ticket sales"

It was a bed wetting response of the highest order from two posters with previous beef with me who couldn't see past that beef to respond properly to what was written and instead chose to read it a different just so they could try and have a pop.

P.S. Let me guess, you've not followed the whole conversation and have just picked up on that one post of mine you quoted above about "not reading posts properly", which I've often accused you of and based on that alone you're going to follow their style of jumping in head first just because of the past arguments we've had?

How old are you Printer?

You aren't paranoid, we are all out to get you. We have meetings about it and everything. James Child sometimes joins us. There's beer and cake and affirmative action.
