Can’t believe the bit where Weidler says we only have 250k spare in our cap.

I don’t believe that as I don’t believe anyone from within the club would’ve released that to him.

Correct he is speculating its impossible there has to be 2 to 3 mill with sams dispensation

It could be true. Don't forget, that may be because it's still 2019 and we did pick up a number of players. I don't think Souths would release any figure anyway. No one would.

I don’t believe that as I don’t believe anyone from within the club would’ve released that to him.

Cookie has a massive upgrade to his contract for 2020. He was on very low $$ for 2019 as part of his original contract.
Cam Murray is on a huge upgrade.
Sua and Roberts were signed well into the season in 2019 - in 2020 we will carry their full value.
Same with Ethan Lowe.
Tom Burgess new contract.
Campbell Graham commences new contract etc etc
Sutton wasn’t on much and had long serving player discount so we haven’t saved much there.
Have signed a lot of fringe players eg Marsters, Goodwin etc
Easy to see where all the money has gone.
If we don’t get Sams money, there is no money to buy players.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

What about fleeing the country while up on domestic violence charges and then walking out on a contract to go to Yawnion ? They are dickhead acts in my book as well.

I didn’t know about those charges and obviously they are much more serious but I’m sure there are a lot of DV offenders still playing NRL though. Dylan Walker comes to mind. Generally once the court process is over most of these guys are let back in. Rugby league players are great athletes but dumb human beings. I don’t think we watch NRL for intelligence though.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

It could be true. Don't forget, that may be because it's still 2019 and we did pick up a number of players. I don't think Souths would release any figure anyway. No one would.

That’s exactly why I would be happy with 1 big signing let alone 2. I think people are overestimating our cap space.

Yeah Murray would have to be on a big upgrade, any idea how much more he’s on?

Re Cookie you’re probably right, as he played origin and for Australia last year I thought we did up his deal to say 750k-800k for 2019 in the end, but yeah I think that goes up to 900k 2020 onwards.

Hopefully, we have not paid overs for Su’a, Roberts and Lowe but maybe they’re on more than we think as you say and now we are paying them fully unlike this season.

That’s exactly why I would be happy with 1 big signing let alone 2. I think people are overestimating our cap space.

Well we need a big forwards signing mate don’t ya reckon?

Hopefully we get most of the dispensation re Sam.

Maybe then if we are to get Latrell it’s AJ or Gagai that would make way. Hopefully Latrell would settle for a bit less than that million a year he wanted.

What does your gut tell you STID, do we get both Arrow and Latrell?

 

[Rabbits20]

Disagree, the longer it takes for him to sign a broncos contract the better for us

Rumours the last couple of days are he’s now leaning towards staying up there and repaying the favour to all those that believe in him up there.

 

[250excf]

Ffsake here we go again clowns pretending they know the clubs financial and cap situation put a bib on and dribble your shit onto it why waste your time or effort nobody knows except the clubs accounts managers you sound like a huge dick even pretending to know

You're on the money with those assumptions R20

How is R20 pretending he knows? He is simply stating what he read in an article and giving his opinion on it.

Please cut it out mate, everyone has a right to their opinion on here.

My rumour about Bali is they set it up so they could fix it, so he'd stay.

Chris Grevsmuhl in bid to return from NRL exile

It’s the picture South Sydney don’t want you to see – but former bad boy Chris Grevsmuhl has returned to Redfern in a bid to reignite his NRL career.

Grevsmuhl hasn’t been sighted in the NRL since 2017, the Gold Coast Titans releasing the young forward following allegations of him scamming fans online.

The reports stated Grevsmuhl had ripped off up to 10 individuals, offering to sell them jerseys of his, instead taking the money but never delivering the goods.

Since his sacking over two and a half years ago, Grevsmuhl has enjoyed a two-season stint with the Orange CYMS in Group 10, his talent shining through as he announced himself as one of the premier players of the competition.

While there is no official confirmation from the CYMS that Grevsmuhl has departed the club, the photo below shows the former Panther (left) walking alongside fellow young South Sydney forwards Tom Amone and Keaon Koloamatangi during Friday’s White Ribbon walk – an event held to spread awareness about domestic violence against women.

South Sydney could not be contacted for confirmation on Grevsmuhl’s return to the club, however, the photo was quickly removed from the club’s website.

A return to the NRL would complete the redemption story for Chris Grevsmuhl, who once played NRL games for three different clubs in a 12 month period.

While he started his career with a bang – winning a World Club Challenge, Auckland Nines tournament and playing for the Indigenous All Stars all before his NRL debut, trouble followed the back-rower, leading to his 2016 mid-season departure from Redfern, with Grevsmuhl stating his inability to get along with head coach at the time, Michael Maguire, as the reason he left.

It’s unclear whether Grevsmuhl has signed a contract with the club as of yet, or whether he’d have to be cleared by the NRL to return to play following the jersey scam of 2017.

But one thing is for certain – if anyone can turn an NRL bad boy’s career around, it’s Wayne Bennett.

The current South Sydney head coach has turned around the careers of troubled stars such as Matt Lodge, James Roberts, Joey Leilua and Liam Knight, taking them from off-field discretions and turning them into premier NRL stars.

A piece run by Orange’s Central Western Daily on Grevsmuhl in September this year showed how the former NRL star had turned his life around, stating he was now seven months sober (as of September 2019) and said his lifestyle in Orange was the reason behind it.

“I always disliked myself and had friends and family who withdrew themselves because they didn’t want to be hurt either. I live a good life today. I don’t have much, but I have family, I’ve got friends.”

Whether Grevsmuhl can handle a return to the NRL and the limelight is yet to be seen, but at just 26 years old, the second-rower’s best football is ahead of him.

Having 47 NRL games under his belt, time and talent is on his side, granted he can secure an official contract with the club. With the picture clearly showing he’s back in Redfern, ready for redemption, the ball is Chris’ court now.

I think you need to read my post again and then apologise as it does not once mention R20 and I’m not even having a dig at him
You need to get your facts correct mod or not

I'd call Kyle Turner back before bringing Grev back to the club. Just my opinion

Very true. This is a public forum on league. He's entitled to say what he wants. And what was said was in the media. A forum is not for people to decide what should be said because it suits or doesn't suit what they believe. And down grading someone's character thinking it lifts their own profiles higher, is ridiculous. It actually has the adverse effect. I quite like R20s input and it makes great reading. Keep posting mate. You have followers in STID, Southy, Callmack1 and myself. And I feel sure many others.

Once again good idea to check facts before making a goose of yourself because you have clearly got it wrong put your glasses on
