Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[herbert henry1908]

Interesting that the club has come out and denied ever approaching Brandon Smith. I would’ve thought it’d benefit the club in their negotiations with Api.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I am starting to think the club the club knows api is leaving.it would be the only reason they would chase another player

I think it all comes down to vaccination. Looks to me like they aren’t prepared to sign him unless he gets vaccinated, and it’s taken him this long to decide, so there must be serious doubts.

Not with sponsors

Not with sponsors

That’s true, but would sponsors really be that precious as to require a public denial?

Here's the statement:

sponsors got May fired for less.

Granville has been past it for several years. I was surprised they re-signed him. Then I remembered why. The idiots running the club.

He was good this year playing different positions. Just been very bad at starting hooker. Looks quicker and better as a bench hooker when played there.

Wether you agree or not, May’s firing was related to his earlier conviction, especially for the sponsors. You just can’t seperate the two things In the public’s mind.

Yeah i dont see why anyone cares about this. Its PPE to stop getting alcohol in their eyes while celebrating.

It will become more common and become normal. Storm just appear to be the first NRL team to do it.

Yeah, the goggles thing itself was fine. It was Smith's carry on (whilst wearing the goggles) that pissed off the boys. Provided some great motivation for the preliminary.

Sounds like Smiths been talking himself up. Little embarrassing for him to have his comments corrected by the club. Cheers Cheese

Which was?

Seems quite possible to me the club would’ve at least made an informal approach to Smith. The Roosters and the Storm are chasing him, why wouldn’t we?

Why would club deny it? Cameron stressed no contact had been made not even an informal approach

Apparently it was Smith who was mocking our boys and Hughes who videoed it and posted on Instagram.

'Western Sydney routes'

I guess maybe M7 to M4 to get to training?

Pretty boring drive.

Which is my point with Smith. Is off side with the playing group due to bagging out Mt Druitt.
The same area those Sponsors come from. On a suspension for taking drugs.

Then you have team morale. May was popular is suddenly gone. Rumoured to add someone unliked.

I see why they would hose it down

I agree. I don't think the club is willing for Api to re-sign whilst remaining unvaccinated.

It would mean Api not being able to travel with the team when they play out of the state.

Outside of playing Api would also face other restrictions.


I don't think the club are willing to go there, by having an unvaccinated player on their books.

I see also why they wouldn't be interested. This is a million dollar player, or close to it. Absolutely the opposite to how Panthers operates these days. Signing players like this would foreshadow a trip south on the table in my view. Not so sure that won't happen at the Roosters either.

The first option would be to make a first grade dummy half out of Mitch Kenny. It's not too late.

Kenny will never be a starting 9. He rips in but he's a few levels below that
