no roberts no #22 premiership

[Rabbits20]

James Roberts has not made a decision yet, Both clubs are waiting for an answer
And that is the truth

You said he was a done deal at Souths though!!!

You said he was a done deal at Souths though!!!

Take my word we are the favourites and Im expecting an Announcement soon

Also Just on the news, Tim Grant discussing a 3 year deal with the Tigers so we can make room for JR. Says he is leaning towards the most lucrative of the offers, which is with us

Allright.

I have a feeling your sources are reliable

Yep, I heard that not long ago.

Grant to Tigers is close to being finalised.

I hope this is being planned so that one doesn't happen without the other.

 

[Woofy7]

If we release grant then the James Roberts offer must big a big one, I don't seethe Broncos being able to go close without releasing someone. I haven't heard of the Broncos looking to make way in their cap that noise seems to be coming from our way.

 

[alien]

well then lets hope this agreement with grant going to wt happens quickly before roberts possibly chooses to go elsewhere

 

[Rabbits20]

Yeah that's my concern too.

How much do you think we'd pay Roberts in 2016????

I reckon 350k under the cap and 50-100k TPA's.

His deal would be back ended I think.

Probably on 450k under the cap in 2017 with 50-100k TPA's.

Thoughts Woofy7???

I reckon 350 to be honest under the cap.

I don't see a back end deal, I think 350 over three years and maybe third party deals of around 125-150 per year bringing the total to around the 1.5 over three years.

I think we will be very careful about back end deals as we wanna keep some key players heading into 2017 and beyond.

 

[Exsilium]

Word is Broncos are releasing Copley and Maranta, both combined should cover Roberts.

I think your chances are one fifteenths of f**k all. Sadly.

yeah as long as we get roberts

I have to agree.

Good thinking from you mate.

We will see.

You could be right or wrong!

Word is Roberts to Brisbane says Dean Ritchie. Expect it possibly tomorrow or Wednesday.

Souths are pissed off as Roberts is mucking us around.

If this is the case expect Souths to keep Grant.

Then randomly the roosters chime in with an 11th hour bid and we all sit here scratching our heads!!!

 

[Galeforce]

regardless of Roberts , releasing Grant is a good idea . It frees up salary cap for 2016/2017/2018. If we do not get Roberts , we can look at someone else for 2016 . There are always players becoming free for 2016 e.g. Teo.

 

[Port Panther]

Bunnies should just release Grevs as well and throw the chequebook at Roberts.We wouldn'nt complain but if he goes to the Broncos for far less people will be up in arms.
