Funny but you kept telling us that Tuimavave was our six for next season when several of us on said we needed an established six. Tuimavave in my opinion was much better as a centre. Whats changed? Do you know?
Genuine question because if we sign a first choice 6 where does that leave Carlos?

The club said he was to be the 6 for next year, what's funny about it? If the pivot doesn't come off, CT will be the 6 next year.

Exactly Pete it's bumpy making out he knows what goes on at FC, when I've said before he knows nothing.

I had a chat with Bumpy about this a few weeks ago: viewtopic.php?f=34&p=18439351 I say 'chat', but it was more Bumpy making up that Pritchard was on a backloaded contract, I explained why that wouldn't be the case, and he didn't reply. Bumpy has £400k in his head because he was on a reported $650k at the Bulldogs running into 2016, $300k of which they paid this year, so it's an assumption I made that FC paid the remaining £200k ish for 2016 season (, hence him being added as our Marquee player. If we were paying less than £175k in 2016 there'd be no point in doing that. 2017 onwards, I doubt it'd be anywhere near £400k, he's making stuff up again as facts. Frank does seem to be his figure of hate now though. He called him a 'plodder' on the VT

the actual amount is irrelevant to the argument, that you choose to bring it up shows you don't understand the point despite it being obvious.
Pritchard is on a shed load whatever the amount and it's a shed load more than Michaels is getting who has shown/given more on field than Pritchard this season.
But if those wishing to sack Michaels off despite the contract agreement he has said in person he's getting, get their wish we will be a poorer side for it and it would be a despicable way to treat him, which clearly some are happy with given their comments upthread. If by going back on his contract agreement we get a player then I hope you are satisfied with them and their role in the team.
I don't think we will sign anyone of note unless we get rid of a name as I've said, I hope CT or Connor or whomever we go with at 6 comes good because next season is going to be tougher than this.

You write that sort of thing a lot to other posters, don't you? Perhaps you need to make your point a little more coherently and not throw things about (E.g. the £400k) like they're facts. Not sure how many times people have pointed this out to you and it's a reason you get the replies you do.

That's subjective though isn't it.

And is it really appropriate to compare a forward to a back?

Plus, this is a comparison & choice that you've effectively made up yourself because you don't like Pritchard. This toss up of Michaels vs Pritchard is not a choice for the club in reality. This isn't Champ Manager. One is off contract, the other is contracted.

What agreement?

Last I saw Michaels had said he and the club were in talks. You have no idea if any promises have been made by the club to Michaels, do you?

Agreed.


Out of interest, have you compared Pritchard's stats to the other back rowers at the club? Worth a look if not. Not bad for a 'plodder'.

His reply if you get one will be a dig at you or others not understanding him, I reckon a top shrink wouldn't understand talk 5H1T3 tony.

Best to compare with the whole league tbf
Right up for metres -top5 and beaten by only curie metres per carry

Re: Breaking News... : Mon Oct 24, 2016 1:35 pm  

I kind of see where Bumpy is coming from but would release Pritchard and use his quota and wage on a 6 and as good as Micheals as been,id have kept Lancaster and really worked on him...we can cover pritchards spot with Abdul or Washy at 13 and a choice of Manu,Ellis and Mini with Thompson,Hadley,Turgut,Fash,Downes to come in as well.Im not a lover of stats I just go on what I saw and he didn't impress me a lot if I'm being honest
