Squad succession

[Twizzle]

Id be surprised if Evans was in B&G next season so theres probably another vacancy.

yep, agreed

not worth what we are paying him for mine

Gennings might start to get itchy feet soon too.

So we (officially) have 13 merkins in next year's squad.

Looks like Kaufusi, Marata are signed for 2020. Nrown has an option in his favour for 2021

Alvaro has an option in his favour for 2020 too.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So do we take this information as official? If so it has massive implications. Not just this but the off contract thread as well!

 

[Gronk]

In my view, yep.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If we get this wrong it could spell the end of League Unlimited.

 

[Gronk]

If we get this wrong it could spell the end of League Unlimited.

But it's unlimited not unlaminated.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You guys keep a hard copy?

 

[Noise]

Surely it also has implications for the squad succession thread too?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This is the squad succession thread.

 

[Noise]

This is the squad succession thread.

Ah yes. I thought I was in the rumours and stuff thread. Carry on. It's a f**ken labyrinth in here. Too much for me

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It'd be better with everything in one giant superthread.

 

[Happy MEel]

So do we take this information as official? If so it has massive implications. Not just this but the off contract thread as well!

I think the biggest impact is that you’ve essentially been made redundant.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That link is a snapshot. They don't even have Gutherson's extension. This thread is a living document.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Like when you spunk on a lingerie catalogue?

 

[Happy MEel]

That link is a snapshot. They don't even have Gutherson's extension. This thread is a living document.

That’s a bit rich with some of the delays in keeping it updated.

 

[Twizzle]

NRL.com should be a good enough source

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ok then. But don't say I didn't warn you:

* = player option
