Why u do that?

Let's talk about rumoured Souths signings.

That's what this thread is for.

If you're not into that well then please can you post elsewhere.


Ok guys back to topic.

Southsport or anyone else, any news re Grant to Tigers???

Do we think it could happen or its only an outside chance???

I'd love Ben back I rate hin up near Sam ( when he's not suspended) the perfect partner for Sammy ,but in saying that we still need strike out wide to capitalise on a dominating pack

I'm not worrying about the no 9 spot as both carter and cook are fast enough to tear a new asshole around the ruck and keep the big boys rolling downfield ala 2014

If I was a betting man I would put money on Roberts going to the Broncos, with Copley moving across the way to the Titans for the best contract of his career--- & a starting posse in first grade!

I'd probably do the same.

I just hope they are not getting rid of Grant to bring back Luke Burgess,that would be a backward step,imo.

That's an interesting point!

This could be part of Sam's plan as Director of the whole business!!!

I do not mind Grant going and Luke coming back in. I think Luke was at worst similar service to Grant in attack , and thought Luke was a solid defender in the middle.

$$ wise it would be a win for us. Grant on at least $350k and would expect to take Luke back for whatever he was on when he left Souths $150-200k. I also assume Manly paid him more to transfer to Manly , reason , they thought it would give them lever to get either Tom or George.The overs they are paying him , is why they want to release him and as long as we only offer what we were paying him before , i think it is a good deal for us.

As for Doyen , your sarcastic comments regarding Sam leading this directive ........so what , i think it is a positive move to have the four brothers together , again as long as we are not overpaying Luke.

It would be good if the 4 Bs were together again--as you say,a positive.

Grant is a long way short of his best, as displayed when he played SOO, so who needs him!?

Getting Luke Burgess back would be a huge mistake given the young forwards we've got coming through. The potential in them far outweighs any benefit of getting a fringe first grader back.

Broncos won't release Copley. If anything it'd be Reed or Maranta or both.

Grant will be hard to offload seeing we're paying overs and he's signed for another 3 years. He's pretty average but depending how much Tigers can pay it'd probably be worth keeping him for a year or 2 then offloading closer to the end of his contract. Paying for him to play for someone else for 3 yrs isn't smart business. We aren't Parramatta.

Well we were desperate at that time I guess.

There wasn't much on the market.

Agreed he has hands like flippers and offers very little else.I would rather keep Grant for another year than bring Luke back.

Apparently their is a dynamite young rookie centre who played some nrl for panthers who is keen for another club as he and his manager are spewing at them buying Hiku he's apparently super fast and a solid player all round sounds good if no JR ( he apparently doesn't act like a total halfwit after a few beers either like some which is a bonus)
