Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries 2015-16

R20 I would take Roberts and release grant as well
Have you heard anything about the tigers taking grant as suggested by SS69 mate?.

Great minds think alike

A couple of months ago I heard the Tigers may take Grant but I've heard nothing since.

It would probably only happen if Souths paid a part of his contract.

Hmmm don't like the idea of paying players we release to other clubs but I suppose we may have to take a bit of a hit on Grant as can't see any club paying him 350k

 

[handyman2190]

That 350 for grant reeks of desperation penrith paying a portion of the first 2 years and what a mistake, we would have been better off giving grevs more keeping him happy and resigning him, someone remind me, we can still change grevs mind ala mcguiness before june 30/ 16 that rule hasnt changed yet i dont think

hmm interesting..

has roberts played much fullback before???

JR scored some 70-85 metre tries in the Under 20 team that played
in the finals from wing. JR would not have played much at fullback if at all
at senior level. I can't vouch for his junior days.

That's right.

I've heard that Gus Gould has tweeted Grant > tigers today.

and this probably wouldn't be happening unless roberts was being signed

Wednesday is the day we all hear where James Roberts will be playing next year

 

[southsport]

That sounds about right.

 

[alien]

yeah he wanted clubs to give their best offer by the end of this wk end

 

[Exsilium]

and this probably wouldn't be happening unless roberts was being signed

Or he is simply surplus to requirements. Could also be due to cap constraints, Burgess contract is yet to be signed off right?

my money is on the dragons signing Roberts and releasing either Peter Matautia, Aitkin or both. Either of those two would be great pick ups.

 

[Rabbits20]

I've heard that Gus Gould has tweeted Grant > tigers today.

I've heard tomorrow Roberts is sitting down and deciding what he will do.

Roberts has had 3 offers finalised by Broncos, Dragons and Souths as of tonight.

Expect a decision to come out on Tuesday I reckon.


Oi southsport and alien, what if Grant goes to the Tigers and we miss out on Roberts. Then it's our loss!!!!

I wouldnt be shocked if Roberts picks St George guys.

 

[Rabbits20]

That sounds about right.

I think Tuesday.

 

[Rabbits20]

That has been done as of tonight as I mentioned in my longer post a couple of posts above.

Rlw Mole on twitter thinks GI is leaving and trying to negotiate transfer fee with broncs and says that he is not being honest by stating to the media he will be with souths till end of 17???
Totally confused now

 

[Galeforce]

you can believe the guy who talked to a guy who talked to someone close to GI , or you can believe what GI says as a specific statement regarding rumours.

NRL mole says he "thinks" , he can think whatever he wants , i will be confused when i am surprised by actual action.

I'm believing the word of GI.

Not the Mole who does get things wrong.

I wouldn't be trusting GI's word;or any RL player for that matter!!

Remember,GI was severely criticised for betraying his word given to the Broncos in 2010 just before he came to us.
Loyalty is not part of so-called "sport" these days;either by players or clubs.

If it suits Sths to off-load GI at their will they'll do it!! It's only business!!!!!

Would you be loyal to your employer if you had a better offer somewhere else? The sooner people accept its just a job to these guys the better.
