To be fair, far from being described as "stupid" I think it was universally hailed as great news on this forum when it happened.

Agreed, most of us were happy when he signed but in hindsight it was a bad decision. We are now stuck with a disruptive bad apple that is taking up a chunk of budget and who's clearly not part of MDs plans. Hopefully we can get shut, another example of a senior player taking the p**s last year. We have manged to rid our selves of Crossley, Kibula,Walker etc. Hopefully Patten is next

Why is he a "disruptive bad apple" and why is he taking the p**s?
I just don't get where this is coming from. Examples please?

Some of us are privileged to have access to more info from within the camp than people realise. I'm not going to give specifics of what goes on behind closed doors.

What I will say, it was obvious to all that Dec's shirt got considerably tighter around his middle the more the season went on. Senior players should be setting examples on how to keep in shape in look after your self. Whilst he wasn't alone in this it was a p**s take to his team mates and all that payed to go watch him play that he didn't care enough to keep himself in decent condition. That's not the kind of attitude I want our players to have. Thankfully most of the others who didn't see the importance of keeping them selves fit have been shipped out. Hopefully he's not far behind.

I agree he did put some timber on later in the season and if you know he was disruptive then I agree, get shut.

What about a go for Kiisan Inu? He's 35 years old but can still perform also a good goalkicker.

If we sign Krisnan Inu then we really do have a silent backer

What are the chances that this 'silent backer' is actually a secret loan from the RFL?

I understand Marc Green, Mark Moore, Omah Khan, Andrew Chalmers and Graham Lowe are each tipping in a tenner for old time's sake. Technically these are loans leveraged against the houses of people using this forum, at a competitive APR of 24,887,312%

Ah! So Provident are back too???

I'll back this up and say it is exactly what I have heard too. Unfortunately over the past few years the club have allowed far too many disruptive individuals into the club and as a result its atmosphere has rapidly declined. Must be something about the number six jersey?

Since moving to the area some fans I have met also claim to have "inside" info tell rather a different story. The current Bulls management team apparently leaves a lot to be desired in all aspects of the game.

The coaching team want rid. That should be all you need to know.

I was rather shocked when I just looked to see I've been on this site since 2005

At every stage of those 17 years, there has been a whole string of posters claiming to be "in the know."

A few actually DID know, but the majority have known little or nothing beyond what is commonly known by anyone with an eye on Twitter and other media.

Well if we are being candid about what we really know, I know a bit about medieval history and cheese. No so much about Rugby.

The Ronettes Sing Medieval Agrarian History ... terrifically popular .... fermented curd will do the trick

I wonder how many people will be nerdy enough to understand that reference!

Any professor of the open field farming system could tell you that

without derailing this thread, as im constantly watching for the next signing that brings pleasure to this already crushed heart, you're all nerds lol .... that being said, I'm rather fond of dogs

I guess its one of those things that quite a lot of people probably do have personal relationships with those employed by the club. Officials, staff and players are all pretty normal folk and will no doubt air their opinions like any other work place, so I can quite believe when people claim to be "in the know", but most of it is not going to be the exclusive that many believe it to be.

To be fair most people that are involved in rugby league (either playing or coaching) will know bits and bats. It’s a small sport and the people involved aren’t exactly celebs like Ronaldo/Messi. Like the above poster says, there’s many personal relationships in RL. There’s probably one or two on here that are actually close enough to get ‘inside scoops’ though.

Got to admit I really like the look of the PNG winger Ngutnik? Should inquire about him!

I agree, he's like another volcano.

I fondly remember the great George Ambrum who destroyed everything in his path when playing for us in the late '60's.Sadly he died at the age of 46 in NSW following a game of touch football. Gerald Cordie was quite a handful also in the late '80's..
