If I'm right about this, I'm changing my middle name to 'The Oracle'.

Forevermore I will picture you as an older black woman baking cookies in the kitchen while bald kids bend spoons in your lounge.

DO IT!

Have you been peeking through my windows again?

That's it, I'm getting the broom!

 

[Tookey 2.0]

All will be revealed in 45 minutes but how could any of the Cleary's leaving Penrith be considered GOOD? View attachment 17376

Option A - Homecoming at the Wahs!!

Option B - PNG's new coach, with Ivan getting the halves band back together with Nathan and Luai running the ship

Fuck I hope its us

 

[CWC]

Would be hilarious if Riccio comes out and say sorry guys it wasn't Tanah that signed a 3 year deal with the warriors

Probably Ivan to Panthers director of club and Nathan hooking up with his sweet heart. GOOD story

 

[sup42]

Webby swaps with Ivan. Brings Nathan and the gang. Happy with that.

Omg no.

I actually believe that Andrew Webster is a better coach than Ivan Cleary.

Webster is just hitting his straps.

 

[Beastmode]

Is he inside some sort of hypobaric chamber?

It’s a capsule hotel in Japan!

I stayed in one similar last year. Claustrophobia is real

He’s going to Japan to play rugby

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

The Dragons are going to lose by 100 this weekend

That is pretty ghetto if it is a capsule hotel

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Don't they have those at airports and train stations in Japan? So you can take a quick nap , Or for long layovers between flight's?

Yes, but that is not what that is. Looks like a sports recovery chamber of some sort to me.

Surely they would backstab Peters like that? Dude was the first to sign up. Woulda thought outside of the obivious 99.99% chance he comes here...

(Medium good) Option B - Moves to director of football for the panthers.

(Awful for everyone) Option C - Moves to the storm to take over from bellyache for that $$$.

(Medium) Option D - Retires for a little bit before coming back later.

 

[sballer7]

Imagine the look on Metcalf and his managers faces when they went into that meeting throwing their weight around about Boyd being the 7...and Cam George is like, "no, no you've got it wrong, he's our backup 7. And then they're like, "oh well that's good news then." And George replies, "well not necessarily for you."

I don’t think you can have a fan, blanket and iPad in a hyperbolic chamber??

Well, if that is a capsule hotel then it is by far the shittiest one I've ever seen. Pity Nathan couldn't afford a better one.

Probably not a capsule hotel

Probably just his bed at home

Surely thats an exaggeration?
