General NRL news 2020

[Beavers Headgear]

we normally run one of these over the off season so thought I’d kick it off again

George Jennings and Reimis Smith both signed with the Storm last week

James Roberts released to join the Tigers

Rumour, Walters has no interest in Matt Lodge being part of the Broncos next season

Roosters and Rabbits in a tug of war over the young gun with the Inglis comparison Joesph Suali (spelling won’t be right), latest reports have Souths wanting Tupou in return

Saab wants to join Manly, had the all clear before Griffen, Griffin has put the brakes on that and Saab unhappy, possible swap for Garrick may be the outcome. Similarly Josh Aloaia wants a release from the Tigers to join Manly and things are getting very untidy with that one so far

In the worst news that will come out of the off season, Keith Titmuss, 20 year old with a bright future who had just been upgraded to a top 30 NRL contract, collapsed and died at Manly training yesterday. Terrible circumstances and will no doubt massively rock the squad. RIP young man

Very sad news on Titmuss.
Any cause of death yet?

Very sad news on Titmuss.
Any cause of death yet?

Waiting for the autopsy, complete mystery as he passed all medical tests the day before and had no underlying issues at all, only info so far is that he had cramps beforehand

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Now confirmed by the clubs

Tigers sign Ofahengue from the Broncos

Manly sign Alioai from Tigers, Saab from Dragons and Tuipolotu from Chooks

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Confirmed, Suaali released to the Chooks after they paid Souths a fee

Brent Naden suspended for testing positive to Cocaine grand final day

Rumour, Benji offered $700,000 by Hull to be the highest paid player in Super league

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Josh Addo-Carr signs with Bulldogs for 2022 and beyond

 

[Beavers Headgear]

I’ve been a bit MIA updating this ! Off the top of my head

Payne Haas being Payne Haas, suspended for the start of the year for threatening a female police officer

McInnes signs with the Sharks for 2022, Dragons fans up in arms. McCullough signs with Dragons effective immediately

Cam Smith still running a circus, never seen a situation where a bloke is so selfish that 2 weeks before the start of a season he still doesn’t have an answer, is some rumour floating around that he will turn up mid year for the Titans at half price

Cordner going to sit out half the year with concussion, Chooks trying to rort the system and claim it as a rep injury and get salary cap relief

Tom Trbojevic slips in the shower and does a hammy, gone for 3-4 weeks, thought this might be the year we got a nice injury run lol, not a great start

Mitchell Pearce couldn’t help himself, caught sexting a knights staffer, stripped of captaincy

Adam Elliott status up in the air, caught on top of Lichaa’s Mrs, Lichaa smashed the house up and gave him a hiding when he found them

 

[Scott]

Excellent snap shot of the off-season. Lots happening and it will be interesting to see how things unfold.

Best circus in the world is Rugba Leegue

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The game that never stops giving lol

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Lichaa and Elliot should have been on that recent NRL boxing night thing.
Should make things interesting at training at the dogs.

Bit harsh on Pearce, unless either party is married, hasn't done anything wrong imo.

How many concussions has Cordner had in his career? Must be going for a record now?

Cam Smith is an aboslute tool. Any other player, and they'd be without an interested party. He's going to the tits, just announce it.

Pearce had got engaged and they were planning wedding day etc when this all happened

Ooh in that case,
What an idiot!

Also, didn't realize Lichaa doesn't actually play for the Dogs anymore, so the 'interesting training' comment I made can be forgotten.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Think Pearce was a couple of weeks away from the wedding this time

Big fan of Cordner’s style but shit it must be hard for his family to watch him play now when a little touch sends him to Disneyland

Pretty hard as a Manly fan watching Tommy dumb dumb sprint through town?

Na that doesn’t concern me tbh, if he can run at training and do all the weights in the gym etc then he can run anytime for me
