Weekly Lurker bombing
G’day dickheads, welcome to the Grumpy Young Man’s weekly Lurker bombing. Week after week this bloke shows that he actually has zero insider knowledge of anything Rugby League related. None what so ever. My personal favourite is him saying that the Dragons will be ‘cutting’ Benji, only for them to offer him a fresh one year deal a few days later.
Q1. Hearing Maloney isn’t happy with Gal hogging the ball
Lurker: Gal takes the ball at first receiver a lot, cant bag his work rate or commitment. Maloney has his chance now, they will do OK without Gallen.
Wow really, a fiery big mouthed talented five-eigth isn’t happy when he doesn’t get the ball when he calls for it? WOAH, Call the fucking press! What breaking news. Cronulla also have a history of performing well without their injury prone captain, so thanks for that bit of knowledge there.
Q2. Are manly looking for a big money international forward in 2017?
Lurker: Yes, missed out on Cordner but still looking. Bozo has promised and will deliver. Has spoken to a few but wont reveal the deal until its close to being done.
So Manly have missed out on Cordner have they? Has he signed elsewhere? There was a rumour he is going Newcastle, but nothing has been signed. So basically Lurker is just speculating that Manly will sign a forward from overseas… cool.
Q5. Will Snake go to the Super League?
Lurker: No, he will finish at manly because his body is breaking down.
Now, its good to get a definitive answer here, even though it’s just a blatant guess. Well done mate.
Q6. Any update on Hurrell to the titans? Is he 100% going?
Lurker: He is still waiting on a Kiwi passport, then he will probably go.
So, he is waiting on a Kiwi passport? So I assume that means he has been using his Tongan passport when he has been travelling in and out of Australia for the last four years. He hasn’t got a Kiwi passport even though he has played for NZ on multiple occasions and he lives there? Interesting.
“He will probably go”, means Lurker has no fucking idea what so ever if he will go or not.
Q8. Any signings for the Titans?
Lurker: Still chasing a center but no luck.
Wait, so Hurrell isn’t “probably” going there now? What about the Ryan Morgan rumours?
In other words, you have no idea who they are looking to sign. The Titans are also looking for front rowers, back rowers, fullbacks, wingers. Thanks Scoop.
Q9. Any major signings for the Bulldogs?
Lurker: Wouldn’t be surprised if they had a crack at Cooper Cronk.
Really? I would be fucking very surprised if they signed Cooper Cronk. They have a very good young halves combo, they just paid BIG money for Mbye, why the FUCK would they try and sign Cooper Cronk.
Q19. Is Lurker going to elaborate on a so called incident with Pearce in the USA?
Lurker: No. Hard to confirm but not good.
So I’m guessing that the Lurker has teased that Pearce got up to no good in America at some stage. Come on mate, elaborate on this so-called rumour. Give us a source. You cant tease people with a rumour gathered from your so-called inside network then not tell any people about it. I smell bullshit.
Q21. When are the Titans announcing Ryan Morgan?
Lurker: Not done yet, but could happen soon.
What about question eight mate? Where you said they have had no luck? Maybe the reason you think they have had no luck, is because they haven’t announced anything yet. Got to love Lurker’s answers though, giving himself an out by saying it could happen, even though he has no idea about it. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN MATE, anything but you having inside knowledge on NRL related material.
Q27. Have the Dragons missed out on Keary and Elgy, considering they have offered Marshall a one year deal?
Benji hasn’t signed yet, they are hedging their bets a little.
Wow, so two weeks ago you were saying that Benji was going to be cut, then the Dragons go on and offer him a deal. Why aren’t you mentioning Mitch Moses or Luke Brooks going to the Dragons mate? You have speculated with other young halves going there, so why not just mention everyone.
Now, on to some fresh Grumpy Young Man gear grinders…
What the stat???
What the FUCK is going on with NRLCEO’s stats? They don’t line up with the League Live App, they don’t line up with NRL Stats. Apparently Champion Data is the stats site they are using but their website is shit and they didn’t tell us until halfway through Round 2. Good to see NRLCEO on the ball before the season started on one of the best and most important parts of the game… Half the fun of playing fantasy footy is following your players stats and seeing if they are going to score you any points. Deadset, your bloke getting a workhorse on one of the stats sites that’s open to the general population then not being awarded one on NRLCEO is just shit. It ruins the game.
Selection scrolling…
The selection screen – FUCK ME DEAD it’s annoying when you go to select your bench and all the players eligible for forwards of backs are listed. When you go on to select your bench blokes, the players you have in your starting team should, for the love of big tits, not be listed or should at least be greyed out or something.
See you next week fuckwits…

Bang on with the Selection Scrolling.
I put that up in the Feature Requests in March last year. It’s ridiculous.
How about trying to make a trade being the same. Good luck doing that on a phone.
The selection scrolling is easier said than done unfortunately. We’d need to make a big change to the user interface to allow that.
We are certainly working on making trades easier this year though! Just need to get through the first few rounds of AFL SuperDraft first.
