Jennings to the Roosters?

[mxlegend99]

Hopefully he does stay. I cant see the money going anywhere better in 2013, and hopefully they switch to trying to get rid of Coote or McKendry. Ideally we could keep them all and lower their contracts. But Jenko is being paid closer to his value then these guys.

Keeping Jennings and getting rid of Coote and McKendry for Thurston would be awesome!

If Jennings stays, we do NOT seal and deliver on the Jonathon Thurston deal.

Jennings leaves the Thurston deal will be confirmed shortly thereafter.

It is that simple. I now which option I prefer.

Totally agree. He's a game breaker and an Origin player and I believe he can deliver with the right service.

I don't want to start Coote bashing again but I'm still to be convinced he is of first grade standard. McKendry needs to recapture his lost form. Both should go before Jenko.

Coote is a first grader. However he is not worth half he is on. He is solid without being spectacular.

Coote at 6 could be the answer. Too slow for fullback. He has a huge kicking boot. Actually runs the ball so could do something close to the line. Still can chase the bombs and support from 6.

Should never play in the 1 again but give him a run the 6 atleast til know he's no good there

The problem is Jenko at the moment is playing like a $400k a season player. But with Thurston in the # 7 he could be playing how a $600k a season player should be. Trading Jenko for a 31yo Thurston would be bitter sweet imo.

 

[Doomednow]

If Jenko ends up staying it will be because no one wanted to match or beat his current pay packet. That should send a very clear message to him that he is being vastly over paid. That means he should be prepared to cop a significant pay cut when it comes to time to ink a new deal. There's a small chance we could end up with both.

But then if he does go and we keep George we might be no worse off. Getting Thurston no matter how old he is is the right move, I think. Put him in there and give him an eager young partner and we should be reasonably set for a few seasons to come. Certainly moreso than we are now.

Jennings was sighted at Roosters HQ yesterday, Negotiations?

Thurston will defs come if we get rid if jennings

That's a bit hard on Coote, Coote could be great running of Thurston. On his day Coote is as good as the better fullbacks in the comp, Slater has Cronk and Smith to benefit from...

Interesting can you let us know what time he was sighted?
The reason I ask is that I seen MJ with some others at Rouse Hill so it will be interesting to see if the time he was apparently at Rooster HQ clashes with the time I physically seen him in Rouse Hill......

Coote on his day is a quality footballer. His only fullback like attributes are a great pair of hands (mostly) & committed support play. Other than that he is too slow & not up to it defensively as a fullback. He is also small without the attacking flair of Ben Barba or Matt Bowen to be able to compensate.

He has enough quality to be worth the shot he will get in the halves. I hope he has an injury free year & at least 24 games to see what he has got. If he doesnt make it in the halves then fullback isnt the answer.

Like it or not Jennings was at Roosters HQ on Wednesday morning... Wether or not you sighted him at Rousehill makes no difference!

 

[The OX]

Does if the times clash...and you cant back your claim....

 

[Kilkenny]

There hasn't been a lot of discussion about how Jennings is viewed by his current teammates. Does he have there support and do the majority want him to stay with the club? I have a feeling I may know the answer.
