Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

Are Souths saying our depth needs one more forward by going after Sims?

SOUTHS might be saying that they've no confidence in Tyrrell by looking for another prop.

Has anyone heard Souths say anything on Sims ? Sounds like Fake reporting to me.

Time will tell.

The knights may want to keep Sims now that Pauli Pauli is injured and the broncos may have more cap to play with if Roberts is axed, so there may be a few twists and turns before Sims' future is finalised.

Nathan Brown is trying to turn around the culture of newcastle. Some of that is getting rid of overpaid and underperforming players. They've already moved on Uate, Tariq Sims and rochow, mullen (even before the steroids) and korbin were rumoured to be on thin ice.
Sims moving on would be good for the Knights, they no longer have a player who's causing trouble around the place with a bad attitude. Getting rid of korbin may open the door for todd carney and/or getting Ponga a year early. There's plenty of upside for Knights in letting him go, even with pauli pauli's injury.
I think the biggest thing holding up sims release is price. Knights don't want to be paying any part of his contract to play for another club. Broncos are trying to sign sims on an Andrew Gee special deal. Souths are offering close to full amount if the runours are to be believed. Broncos looked to have cap spaced cleared with roberts troubles, but it looks like he maybe not getting sacked after all.

So its all up in the air

Maybe not tyrrell?
Tyrrell is still rumoured to be on a small wage.
Maybe sims could be a cover for one of the twins being released

I don't think so.

 

[DiegoNT]

Sims officially released from the Knights

 

[DiegoNT]

I don't think so.

Well so far tyrrell is a reserve grade player? Why would you go sign an expensive first grader to replace a reserve grader?

To improve the squad. Tyrrell might not be on reserve grade money.

 

[callmack1]

Do we even have space in the cap for Sims?

 

[callmack1]

Actually, just read an article, Sims has signed with Brisbane.

That's okay though. It would have been nice to have him but we didn't really need him.

Korbin Sims goes from $400k a year at Knights to $85k a year at the broncos
Seems legit

Brown paper bag deal I think

 

[Rabbits20]

Well meh..... we didn't really need Sims.

Of late have there been any players we've beaten the broncs for their signature?

We don't need Sims anyway imo.

We did get Grienke from them. Don't know if they made any effort to keep him though.

Agreed that we don't really need him.

The only thing about our recruitment that I wish didn't happen was losing Nathan Brown. Otherwise, it's been brilliant.

Don't know what Rugby League week are on about atm, they rated our recruitment a C! It's better than that!

They also missed out us (a picture of one of our players) on the 2017 draw poster where they have a picture of a player from each team! How can you miss a team out?! We're obviously too good lol.
