Rumoured Signings

[Tommy Smith]

Crichton --> Roosters 2019

All that cap space freed up from releasing Paul Carter and Liam Knight.

 

[Clifferd]

I know he used to be an easts junior but gee roosters have a funny way of getting the next best prospects in their team.

Good thing they need more leg ups with how unsuccessful they are in recent times lol

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Funny how all these rumors are flying around about Angus when he's under contract for 2018 and, by law, rival clubs aren't allowed to approach him until November...

Everything that's wrong with the game. Now there will be unwanted speculation for Souths fans knowing that they might be losing one of their best a year in advance

Needs a transfer period badly.

If I'm honest, I reckon Souths will get the deal done. We have a major ace up our sleeve in that he's contracted for 2018 and so any deal we do with him will probably see a big salary boost for him next year as well. If he ships off to another club he won't see the big money until 2019.

Still, if I'm his manager I'm shopping him around to see whats out there.

It just shits me that the rules clearly state that you can't approach a player under contract for 2018 until November 2017 and yet here we see rumors about approaches being made already.

Sad thing is that even if a transfer window is introduced, you know that deals will still be done outside it.

"All these rumours"? Only place I've heard it was here with Tommy Smith's post. Have not seen it anywhere else

There's another rumor doing the rounds that Angus and his manager met with Flanno and the Sharks yesterday for a discussion.

Josh Massoud and Liam cox are reporting the same thing as well. Apparently roosters are confident they've locked him up...

"Confident they'll get him"

Roosters 9/10 times get the player they want with uncle nicko flashing his cash

You just answered yourself. Yes clubs can not approach a player until November, but there is nothing stopping a manager notifying clubs.

Tigers have just been through a crap year kicked off with a super dose of this rubbish, but there is no answer. You can bring in whatever time periods you want, transfer windows, deadlines (remember the old June 30 deadline?) and it will make no difference, its a free capital market and people will try to better themselves. We just have to suck it up. Of course well run and successful clubs will always have a headstart keeping players happy and therefore keeping plyers at the club but for the rest of us, it will always be a problem.

It's just bullshit lol. First Tedesco now Crichton they'll probably get brailey next.

Why the f**k would they want brailey? At this stage he's not an upgrade.

Thank you. I had not heard/seen any of those.

Brailey is definitely the next big thing. If he keeps progressing like he has he'll be the next NSW hooker.

There's a long way to go yet before brailey makes his potential. He may very well get there, but it'd be a massive gamble, Especially when they're captain is still in great form.

Btw. Sorry for being rude. I thought you were someone else.

 

[Iafeta]

Uncle Nick, he lures them in for the Chooks doesn't he... anyway his secrets out

Of course but I think he's been one of the best hookers in the competition and he's only 21. So far he seems to have it all plus a bit of mongrel.

Hahaha that's okay mate.

 

[super_coach]

Crichton --> Roosters 2019

All that cap space freed up from releasing Paul Carter and Liam Knight.

Nothing ever changes most club keep producing talent while the Chooks keep buying the talent other clubs produce.....And the NRL are wondering why fans are leaving the game in droves

 

[mozza91]

Crichton --> Roosters 2019

All that cap space freed up from releasing Paul Carter and Liam Knight.

With enough spare cash to sign another 2 or 3 Internationals at least.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Just another reason I won't be supporting the rorters should they make the GF.
