Rumoured Signings

Canberra need him back after losing Paulo and Boyd, @AlwaysGreen

Both replaceable. But releasing Gubb....

 

[Tommy Smith]

Bulldogs have reportedly signed Corey Harawira-Naera. Just what they need. More back rowers.

Backrow is their strongest position by far. Very weird signing.

Btw Gus Gould is the most flakey merkin in league. How many blokes has he signed to long deals only to let release within a year or two?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol says the shameless c unt whose club was chasing him AND TPJ

Feldt - 1
Oates - 0
Touchie - Squatting and taking a shit on IBMs title dreams as time expires

 

[Charlie124]

Tom Opacic ----> Cowboys
Ben Barba ----> Cowboys (all but announced officially now anyway)

 

[Tommy Smith]

Releasing Opacic should pave the way for TPJ Lodge and Oates to sign big deals.

It balances.

It's ok, I've pinned all our hopes on Liam Knight

Got some terrible news for you mate, the Mighty Eels are chasing him.

We should have a Plod off for his services.

And poach a few players as well.

Dem Bronco dollars!!

Reports of Taupau to Roosters.

Haha - no problem there.

They did lose Fergo, SBW, Mini and Fittler.

 

[beave]

They did lose Fergo, SBW, Mini and Fittler.

Don’t be so f**king facetious.





They also lost Adrian Lam and Russell Fairfax.

 

[hineyrulz]

They did lose Fergo, SBW, Mini and Fittler.

And they lost Artie ss well.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

It's all good guys. Fergo was on one of those magic redemption deals. Remember?

No one else wanted him so the Roosters took the poor little sex offender in and reformed him. All while on minimum wage.

As payback for returning Fergo back to society a changed man, his minimum wage contract now magically transforms into $800k of cap space and they can go and rescue poor little Marty Taupau from the tyrants at Manly.

Actually, Marty will take a pay cut to be rescued so they could potentially save Dylan Walker from the same plight as well.

The Roosters are the reformists of Rugby League. Nothing but redemption stories year after year.

 

[roboshark]

Nothing to see at the roosters cap wise

Turn a blind eye

Perfectly put, never thought of them like that. Time other clubs try to give back to society too. Can you post a link to the article.

Reports of Taupau to Roosters.

Haha - no problem there.

No chance. They've been pushing this narrative for weeks with no evidence....
Would love to have him back at Belmore though. Was a poor decision to let him go, you could see it back then. Quality forward.

The guys on Triple M discussed the rumour last night. Even guys like Crawley and read said it was highly improbable Tapau to the Roosters in 2019 considering they'd heard that Marty and his Manager are looking at a deal of upwards of $1 million a season for his next deal, also that he is under contract to the Sea Eagles until the end of 2020 anyway. Also Tapau is on record as saying he hasn't spoken to anyone and doesn't know where these rumours are coming from - https://www.nospam47.com/au/league/...ea-eagles-contract/1t8cgcd0xxc1f1fmi7oo39k787

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Would replace Scotty quite well when Matt retires next season

 

[macavity]

TPJ met with Knights in Newcastle yesterday.

Come home son.

Jr Paulo was also the last person in RL to find out he'd signed with Parra too apparently
