Tigers doing. Management talked up the halves for sponsorship and branding. Never rated both.

What have they done? Woods and Tedesco too.

Brooks was f**ked when Andrew johns touted him as the next origin half. To be fair, the 3 (Teddy, Brooks, Moses) did show quality every now and then

But do you really think any player flourishes under the master coaching of Jason Taylor? that's all they've ever been coached by. Except for woods and Teddy with potter

Its been reported Nathan Peats is unhappy with the offer the Titans have given him and could go back to Parramatta. If Peats does leave, I can see a bright side for the Titans. Tyrone Roberts hasn't look too bad at hooker, and Peats departure would free up the position. Ash Taylor is also best friends with Roberts which is an extra plus.

But seriously...Roosters next year could have a playing roster of

Tedesco
Ferguson
Mitchell
SKD
Tupou
Keary
Pearce
JWH
Friend
Cordner
Guerra

That backline alone is worth like 5 mil.

Ye nah cap doesn't apply for them
3 or 4 players you have listed wont be at the Roosters next season

Easy to live at say Terrigal and it's an easy commute both ways. But he isn't going to come to Newie.

Will end up at the Dogs or Eels.

This will throw the player market into chaos as Sydney teams hold money for him, which is good for the Knights who have the most to spend, and all the teams who have settled halves. Would love the Knights to make a run at Widdop.

I predict he will retire or change his mind and have one last season with the storm - have a reduced training load so he can be in Sydney more often.

How do you get a $5m backline lol.. SKD is shit, Ferguson almost as bad, Topou is currently on SFA, he was told to find another club in 2015 and only Parra and the Tigers offered him around $150K. He was playing terribly
and is on about that now. SKD would only command $200K tops on the market. League Unlimited logic, 'the Roosters are over rated, won't make the 8 and btw are breaking the salary cap as they have signed all the best players in the NRL.
Ferguson - is off contract and based on performances should be gone,
Mitchell - Obviously going nowhere
SKD - Doubtful to stay, only could command small dollars based on performances.
Tupou - off contract, may also leave, but playing very well after 2 ordinary seasons. Parra tried to sign him, like every off contract player.
Keary - Staying
Pearce - Staying
JWH - Staying
Friend - Staying
Cordner - Staying
Guerra - Won't be re-signed.

Current form means f**k all in terms of their contract worth they would've signed 2-3 years ago

Back when majority of those players signed Roosters wERE winning MPs, going deep into the finals etc. not to mention they were pretty much all playing rep footy at the time.

I'd probs take Tupou, Guerra (not really any worse then what we have) and maybe Fergo if we can get him cheap provided we don't lose Teddy
