Rumoured Signings

[Captain Apollo]

Wait is RTS actually thinking of coming back? Would be cool to see him in the NRL again.

As for Suaali that’s crazy money for some who hasn’t really delivered all that much. Can’t say it sends a strong message to players in the union system either. If anything the message is clear, if you want to get bit coin you should be coming through the league system.

There's been some internet chatter about RTS coming back to the Roosters, but I strongly doubt it. Why would my club want another "veteran" player? Makes no sense.

Sualli money needs to go somewhere and he can play that position

So it’s all a nothing burger? That’s a shame.

Someone at Manly must have lost a bet. Or someone has photos of goat shenanigans. I nearly crashed my car from laughing when I heard the news on the radio earlier.

What centre? Manu is 4 years younger than RTS so he will most likely be Teddy's successor at fullback.

Looks like the "mail" about Suaalii is correct (and I was wrong).

Club Statement: Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii

The management of Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii have informed the Sydney Roosters that he will be departing the Club at the end of his current contract term.

Is the whole Gutho Eels thing to agitate for a Suaalii to join them for 23 and 24?

I can't think who else they would try this all for.

Maybe the Eels are chasing RTS? Suaalii is under contract to the Roosters till the end of 2024, and I doubt they'd release him to go to another NRL club before he heads off to Union.

I could see the Roosters releasing him to play Union overseas first to free up salary cap though. Given he isn't staying on, might be better to invest that money elsewhere.

The initial story (before Chammas hyped it up) only seemed to be saying that they'd spoken to Gutho to clarify that the target will play centre or 14... because it's a player who is normally a fullback.

Whatever the actual pre-Chammas fictionalised version there's been nothing to suggest Gutho is moving except once he got to it

In before Terrorgraph, Simple Jack to the Eels this year before he heads to Redcliffe

News reporting the Eels target is Jayden Campbell.

Not sure about that one but Gutho is 29 and whilst he isn’t over the hill, it could be the shake up they need.

Campbell has come a long way and is definitely a quality player but first choice fullback? Not sure.

Good thing he's not being signed to replace Gutho then. At least not in the foreseeable future

Apparently Jai Field and RTS are the other rumoured names doing the rounds. Which, lol for different reasons.

Campbell would be good but we signed Daejarn Asi as a utility so dunno why we want another

Whilst the cap is going up over the next few years, it’s probably influenced by squad balance.

Change is inevitable and every club needs to think forward.

Hooper reckons the Tiggers are going after Mythchell Pearce.

.....Jesus Christ lol

 

[King hit]

It's not like they can do any worse

 

[6 more kfc buckets]

That would surely jeopardise Cleary's chances of retaining the Blues no 7 jersey.

That would free Luke Brooks to go to union on $2m and win Oz the bledisloe, olympics and world cup.

I know pearce was a joke... but realistically hynes after his one game return would jeopardise any of the blues halves... the man caught fire

 

[mave]

The Tigs may as well chase Craig Field.

I know he's available now.
