The Rumours Thread

[Get2dachopper!]

With all this supposed cap space, perhaps we need to change tact a little and offer someone like Hass a shorter 2 year contract but on massive money, say 2 million a year, back ended/ front end whatever it takes. That way he is still young enough to make his next move back to QLD. As mentioned previously, a lot of these QLD players become homesick. I would also be signing Cobbo, we need to take a chance and I feel he could be our cheaper version of Latrell Mitchell.

The news articles are mentioning a Third Suitor but not naming them. Could be where he ends up.

A lot of clubs would be interested in Cobbo as depth on a modest contract... its just who would be willing to guarantee him a starting 13 role.. and/or pay him >700k? He'd get a starting gig here at a struggling club, and we are honestly struggling to get blokes to come and fill the cap, but I doubt we would pay him overs to get him to sydney (or the gong).

Is there anything solid to the Schiller rumour?

Think it was Pete Badel from the Courier Mail said it was the Roosters.

Not that im aware of

It might have just been an approach to him post Dom Young going there, we have made a lot of those approaches, and most if not all dont actually come off...... or maybe he will hear more in days to come.

Longer it goes though, the less likely it is.. he rly isnt a game changer anyway mind you.. but nonetheless an upgrade you would suggest over your current wingers (just).

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

if we let Latu go you would errr on the side of someone else moving into the top30

we ppossibly had still one spot available minimum

Some sites say we still only had 28 spots filled prior to Latu leaving

Maybe an upgrade on a player internally we want to pay more this season from the Dev squad and less next season ?

plus maybe another player or two joining prior to June30?

Should get interesting next 8days

A big no to Cobbo from me. While immensely talented his focus seems all over the place (only from what I've read). I don't think it's what we need in trying to build a side. I think we need to adopt the Storm "no DHead" policy.

When do we have to fill our top 30 by?

Do they have to fill it or can keep two free spots to use that money next year?

No

Have to have 30 names

Have to have 30 names

They had 30 registered, replacing them is an option not mandatory.

 

[TheRev]

I think its tricky.. we had 30 names signed so I dont think we need to do anything by June 30.. but its probably in our best interest to try and get atleast 1 bloke in before then... failing that maybe we look to upgrade a junior or 2.. or who knows..

I agree, so the biter and his Dad can piss off as well with that policy

Fish fingers got baited by broncos leading 28 .12 then to be run down 34
28. . They are sitting on only 18 points i can't wait to play sharks at kogarah with a full house local derby .

 

[mattw5]

So basically don’t expect a signing in the next week lol

Maybe, but I'm sure he will ont go for a 2-year deal. He is still very young so I'd say , have a word with his manager to find out how much they want over a 3-4 year deal. We have some good forwards coming through, we just need a marquee leader in our forward pack.
