Rumoured Signings

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Whos posts this stuff

Surely they are taking the piss

 

[Shorty]

He’s 22.

I reckon in due time he will be fine at #1.

Maybe it's Flanno.

Come home baby.

Really though? I find it hard to believe Broncos would let him go.

I reckon Val could grow into a good fullback given some time. I know he hasn't impressed at the Sharks so far but i think that also has a bit to do with the fact that they have several other options at FB so its easy for them to justify not giving him time to develop there. He wanted a crack, the coach gave it to him and he didn't fire, experiment over - get back to the wing.

I think that will play into the Cows hands if we see him as a replacement for Coote.

I don't think it's that crazy. The Knights still have over 1 million left under the salary cap and Bennett is usually pretty stubborn regarding how much he is willing to pay front rowers.

I know he's been quoted as saying he wants to play under Bennett/be a Bronco for life or something but Joe Tapine said the same thing about the Knights until Canberra gave him more money than the Knights were willing too. Plus I think everyone can see that Wayne's future is a bit up in the air there so his position may change...and his junior club where he still has family and friends wouldn't be in a bad position to make an offer with the cap space they have.

Yeah fullback is a difficult position to learn if you're not a natural there. It takes a lot of time to even just start feeling comfortable let alone really excel. I reckon if the Cowboys promised to give him real time to develop there it would be pretty easy to get him away from the Sharks. I can't imagine he'd be too happy at the moment. The Sharks need to do what's best for their team but I reckon he would be pretty pissed secretly at being moved back so quickly.

I’d say the Cowboys will make a play for Val Holmes to come home.

Just saying.

All the pieces are falling into place for this to happen.

As long as the pieces involve Barba, all is well.

 

[Pedge1971]

So nothing could have changed his opinion about his (ex) wife in the 17 years since that story went to air?

Right...

Yeah for sure mate. Wayne became a selfish merkin....thats what changed.

 

[Pedge1971]

Maybe it's Flanno.

Who says they want to let him go? This season has a lot riding on it and home is a big attraction for a kid.

The Sydney Morning Herald are reporting the Sharks are interested in signing Aiden Tolman from the Bulldogs. There is some speculation he might be a mid-season signing for the Sharks.

Foxsports saying that Souths have held preliminary talks with Josh Papaali

 

[Mr Angry]

Val had the entire season @fullback in 2017. He was given ample opportunity. He is a winger on fullback money, cowboys can have him.

Papali and Boyd are both off contract this year and would both be handy pick ups. Canberra forwards go well once they get out of place.

 

[Spot On]

Souths going to add overweight forwards with poor hands to a pack with 2 blokes in particular carrying too much weight and with bad hands????

Agreed.

Weyman, Thompson and Vaughan. All were/are great for us.

matt gillette on the market. wouldn't be surprised if they assisted in punting him to make cap space for TPJ

Gillett's contract has an option in his favour. As such he only leaves if he gets a better offer otherwise he stays at the Broncos for another 2 years.

didn't say otherwise, but broncos paying freight is also not out of the equation.

Vaughan was fantastic for us for years, nothing he’s done at the dragons is shocking. It’s a continuation of what he did for the Raiders

Tim Grant seeking an early release from WT to fill a front row shortage at the Panthers in the wake of McKendry going down. Grant still lives in the area. You heard it here first
