Rumor Mill

Apparantly his wife is unhappy in Auckland.
Surely she can go to Sydney and start setting up. When the boys play in Sydney let Addin stay an extra day and fly back a day later. If RTS can go through a whole Season in Aussie by himself with no Family, Addin can last half a season with his family ffs
It is bullshit. Our season finishes in September, that's three months away and there is plenty of opportunities to be there (byes, games in Sydney, etc). Unhappy in Auckland, but happy to have the huge bucks we signed him for roll in every week. Life is hardship sometimes, and this ain't even it.

Hahahaha we all get it wrong sometimes.

Where did you hear about Capewell, rumour mill or reliable source? I don't know enough to say whether we've picked up a dud or he suits the way we want to play well, but it looks like massive overs for a guy who makes tackles and offers very little with ball in hand.

I didn’t give Devlin enough credit for having a source with Cleary lol


It was actually on a Manly forum, was before papalii to Penrith was announced, and the chat was Capewell was agitating for a release and Papalii would come home in his place. Same topic on that forum had the news of AFB before it become public

Not sure how much longer AFB will be with us. Can't see him at Cronulla this year though.

Apparently not playing this weekend.

AFB's Manager and AFB have publicly stated that AFB's stuff up after the game was not because AFB is trying to force his way out before season's end. Source -

If its true, I'm mostly ok with it. He's a better player than when he left but as I recall, he had some attitude issues back then. Maybe he's grown up a little?

New Zealand Warriors forward Jazz Tevaga is reportedly set to link up with the Manly Sea Eagles for the 2025 season and beyond.


Tevaga had it confirmed recently that his contract - expiring at the end of this season - would not be renewed by the Auckland-based club for the 2025 season and beyond.

It means Tevaga's chances of becoming a one-club player are over, with the forward who can play any of lock, hooker or prop having 136 NRL games under his belt since his debut back in 2016.

He also has four Tests for Samoa and two matches for the Maori All Stars during that time period.

The 28-year-old may have been exploring an opportunity overseas, but he told the New Zealand Herald that he has found a new club in the NRL for 2025.

“Our supporters are very staunch supporters. Selling out the stadium every week, every home game we've had here has been massive,” Tevaga is reported to have said.

“The support we get in the street has been huge. I'm really going to miss this place.

“I'm not looking forward to coming back here next year. But hopefully we come and pump you brothers.”

It's understood that club could be the Manly Sea Eagles, where Anthony Seibold has the side on track to play finals under his coaching for the first time.

Despite that, there has been a revolving door of selections at times, particularly off the bench, this season, and Tevaga could be the experienced, versatile forward the club need moving forward.

The forward would be a walk up bench player at most clubs with the ability to then extend into the forward pack, and would serve as a great back up across Seibold's forward pack.

Bunty Afoa in Parramatta sights, pending RCG finding another club

I read RCG's contract value is putting a few potential suitors off but hopefully it works out for Bunty. Ryles and Sam Moa will be good for him there I reckon. And knowing our luck, he'll turn into a beast for Parra like Papalii did when he left.

Seriously, he's just what they need. Tough, no frills, plenty of experience.
Mmmm....I feel like they need something a bit more dynamic than Marcelo. I like the guy, I think his attitude is great, but he's slow and not that good on D. The three time spooners probably don't need that.
