Rumor Mill

[Beavers Headgear]

Stuart is Mud - but compared with Kearney et al he's Gibson/Bennett/Bellamy/Gould level

There are things to like about Gubb (and many others at Penrose) - but they simply aren't improving here

Yes, to Green - if the price is right, but again we have guys that can be serviceable at #6, in a forward and coach oriented game we have a few black holes that Green won't fix

Has the quote earlier in the year from Johnson on Veitch's show making them look at Green ?

It was when they were trying to get Foran to, and Shaun said something along the lines of learning that he needs a quality 5/8 beside him to play his best footy and for the warriors to be a force

Beale is f**king hopeless.

Green is the sort of guy we need if we could recruit decent forwards. But we haven't. He's tits on a bull otherwise.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

have we made an inquiry about tagataesse

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Yes

Re the Blake Green rumour

I like Blake Green. But by God, surely we have to invest in Ata sooner or later. When do we give him a shot. When he's 34?

Blake Green also doesn't play prop FFS.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Green should hold out talks with us until he knows whether we're adding to our pack or not. If not, he's putting a sledgehammer to his career by signing - albeit on good money.

 

[vvvrulz]

We need more experienced kiwis

 

[Mixmasterreece]

I understand that the next (external) signing announcement will be Adam Blair. Might be very soon.

Seeing as there's nobody internal off contract I care for, those brackets concern me.

Im smelling a Brodene haha

Certainly possible that we may be forced into some unfortunate decisions with our current squad. We haven't accounced anyone new yet, or officially cut Jacob & Bodene loose because..... no prick has wanted to sign for us.

Having said that I think they're starting to get some certainty in a few areas. The negotiations/discussions with 4-5 players (including Jacob & Bodene) are now coming to an end.

The next fortnight should clear up a few things for everyone.

<EDIT> Sorry, probably wasn't clear but I don't think Jacob or Bodene will be here next year. Bodene is the more likely, but even then I think he'll be gone <EDIT>

Are they going to announce the 5 year $5M extension for Luke at the same time?

9 years I believe.

What a load of speculation...no direct quotes saying anything like that...someone's reading this forum and scaremongering lol

 

[Rich102]

Why wouldn't he?

 

[Iafeta]

There was speculation JTS was coming. In that same interview he was asked that and almost gave a blushing coy answer. So I'd not be surprised if there are two Tuivasa-Shecks here long term. I haven't seen in any interviews any inclination he's getting out of dodge. I'd say that's circumstantially drawing a very long bow to sell a newspaper.

 

[Rich102]

Nek minit his contract extended by 5 years?

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Roger isn't going to push to have his brother here next year only to bugger off within 12 months

 

[Diesel]

From @readingtheplay on twitter, anyone know anything else?

Plenty of mail to suggest major blow up between Foran, Johnson and Coach, both players since excluded today.. Wonder impact on team.. #NRL
