The Rumour that we hear everywhere

[Budgie]

Do we believe it’s true?

I must admit I’ve always given it credence.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Yes of course.

 

[XV-1]

Great management by Mestrov last year.

The rest is history and failure in 2025.

 

[Brookie1973]

Nah, it’s Penns fault.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Bittersweet. The price of getting rid of DCE is extending Seibold. Still think we are ahead though.

As for Gerard’s question about who is going to write the alleged story ? What is stopping you from doing that if it’s such a hot story. Or could it be that it is just BS that you made up.

Have to feel for those 3 senior players, we've only gone and made them some of the highest paid players in the history of the game whilst they've helped us to 3 finals wins in 11 seasons. This current team is going the way of the post-Rainbow jersey team in 2022 and yet Des was the coach then. Don't remember these kinds of stories back then but the results were the same?

They may have been right about Seibold but I can't entirely blame Mestrov for not taking them seriously, I will blame him for thinking a flogging in the second week of the finals was worth extending Seibold's contract though.

He’s blocked me as I called him out once ( I was right but he hated that I made him look bad ) , years ago now.

There is no one on this earth that hates Manly more than Gerard.

Didn’t someone make a post like that a day or 2 ago on here? Seems like another lazy ‘journo’ just looking at fan forums.

I think Mestrov goes pretty well , may not always get it right , but he’s a damn sight better than any CEO we’ve had since ARKO.

It’s absolutely stupid calling for his head as well.

We need stability at this point, at least in the administration area.

Don’t worry they are all glued to this forum.

I created a rumour ( many years ago ) , old mate Gerard picked it up and ran with it.

I then belittled him on social media saying “ all these journos do is pinch **** from Silvertails and take it as gospel, I made that up to prove a point and he came in hook line & sinker “

He called me a ****ING WANKER , and blocked me from his social media feeds.

It’s one of the reasons I rarely believe anything any of them say.

What is Gerard Sutton doing, writing an online gossip column? Surely there is a conflict of interest somewhere in there?😉

Of course. But you can't tell me you didn't hear this rumour when the whole DCE thing exploded Mark? It's hardly new.

Im not referencing this rumour , simply stated “ they are all glued onto here “.

Definitely not new , and definitely not leaked by this idiot he’s simply regurgitating something to fit his hatred of the club.

Like I said yesterday. The NRL will never get rid of us. We provide too much click bait for journos who long ago abandoned the notion of being a sports journalist and turned themselves into gossip column Karens. You might as well put flowery dresses , aprons and blue rinse hair on them and transport them back to the 70s with Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. Fu*king parasites the lot of them.

Except it's the men who do ALL the NRL gossip so your characterisation needs to talk about beer bellies, third marriages, and combovers

And drink driving and ice cream vans.

Fu*k they are the most disgusting collection of humanity you can come across hey. The scabby , red veined faces are a dead giveaway.

Point taken, but you need to go back somewhat earlier on the Hedda and Louella front. Hedda died in 1966 and Louella in 1972.

This was the first (I think) appearance of this rumour here, two months ago:

This is what I was told today.Reliable source but take it with a grain of salt if you wish




“DCE didn’t extend after Seibold was given extension

DCE, Jake and Tom held meeting with Mestrov last yr before the Seibold extension to tell him Seibold was not the future and he didn't have the support of the players, Mestrov few weeks later extends him

On sacking Seibold, will be at end of season

If Seibold gets sacked before end of season it enacts a 12 month payout

If he gets sacked end of season based on full season poor performance its a 6 month payout

Mestrov last yr wanted Brad Arthur before then extending Seibold, Moses convinced him to stick with Seibold and that if they did he "promised" he would deliver Galvin...”

.

Far out it's taken them a while. Buzz Rothfield is going to come digging here again, like he did during jerseygate.

Dam seems to be breaking again. We're probably going to get a flood of new leaks.

 

[Rocky]

NRL360 going to have a lot of material this week on the club no doubt.

Where do we start?

DCE and his form and the Roosters
Seibold under pressure
Jake out for the season and who knows his future?
Tom looks cooked
