Rumoured Signings

Barry Toohey has been knocking it on the head all day on Twitter, his Knights mail is generally accurate. It's a nothing rumour, just like the one earlier in the week about Rugby and Kalyn. He will be a Knight next year. He's signed, sealed and delivered. Why does anyone think he'd be less keen to come now that we're on the up??? He signed when we were at rock bottom ffs.

Why are the Titans and now Knights getting shit flung at them in the form of negative rumour? Talk about kicking a bloke while he's down. If they (whoever they are) wanna derail a season, pick a side who doesn't have flights & accommodation already booked for September.

Because that's the way of the world. People are generally cowardly, and there is no easier target than someone already on their knees.

Well, there are two huge positives if Ponga were not to come Newcastle according to the many that know everything there is to know about Kalyn:

1. We get a million dollars a year back to spend on other players for the next 4 years.
2. We don't inherit another bloke who can't tackle to save himself.

Win, win.

The Cows then get stuck with a bloke who is currently stinking the joint up apparently, who can't defend, is not ready for first grade, has a temperamental father who has already publicly speared the club and they'll have to fork out huge money to keep a player whose defence is attrocious.

Makes perfect sense. Doesn't it?

reports going aroind Dragons have signed James Graham. Blokes set to earn 600k from the Dogs and 400k from the Dragons so Hayne probably lost the tag for worst million dollar player.

If true I find that hard to understand from the Dogs. If Saints were paying 600k of the 1m it makes sense. But effectively they need to pay another player to slot into their 30 plus pay Graham 600k so the real reduction to their cap is actually f**k all.

Rumers had my team getting kicked from the comp mid way through the year! Just media parasites mainly me thinks

Nup, he didn't. Graham could stand under the posts with his hands tied to his ankles and he'd still be a better bet than Jarryd the weight gain, coach slayin', giant pain, get him on a plane Hayne.

Doesn't count he's not getting a million a year, he is getting most of his money back he is owed on backend deal. Hayne is actually getting over a million year.

A rumor John Sutton could join the Broncos next year. I know Sutton manger said a couple weeks ago if he wasn't offered another contract from Souths he would retire so it can be viewed with some scepticism.

Souths have given him enough contracts.

Time to move elsewhere surely - for South's sake.

John should have retired in 2014 tbh. He's too slow for the NRL nowadays and has been for some time. His lateral movement in defense is terrible. Particularly as he gets tired. Amazing how often he is the starting point to our defensive line failing and yet our coaching staff keep starting him every week. If he goes around next year it should be as a bench forward playing about 20 mins max.
