Have you got inside info?

Talking to players that are under contract is against the rules so all clubs deny that it is happening.

Unless i missed something in the past few years, i don't think it actually is. Last i was aware, we can approach say Tohu Harris and offer him a contract to join us after his deal at the Warriors expires.

All the chat of guys like Walker, Auva'a, and Brown need to get over it and move on.

Walker's talent was never the question and he is showing it in a Manly side that are performing very well this year. Last year was a different story however and without Sam i struggle to see how our forward pack performs well enough to allow him to play like he is this year.

The club stood by Auva'a during his suspension and he thanked us by putting in half hearted performances before getting himself in trouble again, resulting in his contract being torn up. Not the kind of bloke I'd want around my club and isn't actually best 17 at Parra.

Brown got a better offer from the Eels that at the time was probably overs. He'd been a bit of a journeyman his career and while he played well last season, his poor discipline on the field held him and the team back. Flying at Parra and all the best to him.

End of the day, what's done is done. No point dwelling over it. Good clubs move on and are proactive in the market. That is what we need to be. 21 premierships are irrelevant today, number 22 is what is most important!

Unless I'm mistaken Maloney is under contract for 2018 and it would be against the rules to approach him.

So I'll recap on what the user 3hats (has inside knowledge) said on Zero Tackle for those of you who missed it. I know STID has done it but there's a few things he missed ;).

GI's wife and kids have only moved up to Brisbane because their house in Sydney is being renovated. GI is renting a small flat while they are being completed. Souths want him to play fullback next year.

Gray is generally acknowleged to have gone to the Sharks but there is still a chance we could keep him.

Madge moved AJ away from fullback to convince him that the wing is his best position, to convince him to re-sign as a winger. I hope that happens. AJ is waiting for more money but Richo won't be doing anything until the cap for 2018 is announced.

Walker is going nowhere. His manager and the media came up with the story, at the time, Cody knew nothing about it. However, he is dissapointed at being moved to fullback as 5/8 is where he wants to play and that is what was agreed to when he re-signed last year. It has always been Souths intention to upgrade him once the 2018 cap is confirmed.

We have been interested in Gagai since last year apparently. He will be here next year. His signing has not been officially announced yet for a few reasons, Souths are in the process of trying to keep other players and the cap for 2018 is unknown, His manager has been overseas for a while and on his contract, May 21 is the activation of a clause so he can't legally sign with a club before that date. I don't expect his signing to be officially announced until after the Origin period as we are giving him the space to focus on that.

The reason we are never linked to anyone is because Souths do business behind closed doors. Journo's make up a lot of articles about our club because of this. Outside backs and front rowers are the priority for 2018.

Adam Reynolds was injured in Round 7 against the Dogs when he got that line break and nearly scored if you guys remember. Reyno hurt his hip and then copped a knock on it again the following Tuesday at training. That's why he missed Round 8 and he has been getting pain killing injections ever since. It's his right hip so his general play kicking is really being effected.

Madge's position for next year is safe however, his coaching methods and style is being questioned.

That was all he had to say for now. Sheds a lot of light into what's going on.

It's not so much about us now missing those players. Yes it would be great to have the likes of Walker, brown, keary and mcinnes. The talk is about how the club is run. There seems to be huge differences between management and coaching staff on opinions on players. Maguire is criticised for his coaching, yet he he continually loses players he seemingly wants to keep. Maguire's plans seem to be disrupted by management. We are seeing maguires game plans being carried out by richardsons/crowes recruits.

Roosters have let Paul Carter go.

Surely it's time to forgive and forget and welcome him back?





Edit: I was being a teensy weensy bit sarcaustic.

No thanks.
I liked him last season and felt that him being able to play a bit of hooker off the bench if required was an asset to us but we cut him for a reason and we need to stand by that decision.

For the time that carter played first grade at Souths I thought he was always one of our standout players. He couldn't get a run at the roosters because well... look at their pack. But he would be a welcome addition to a pack like ours.
