We don't need Chambers, unless he can kick goals, which i doubt. Our backline for this year should be
1. Gordon 2. Tupou 3. Mitchell 4. Manu 5. Fergo

And for next year it really shouldn't change. But with the addition of Tedesco means we lose both Fergo and SKD. Our backline next year will probably be
1. Tedesco 2. Tupou 3. Mitchell 4. Manu 5. Gordon

I most definitely do not want to lose Mitchell or Manu for Chambers. No thanks. Possibly Chambers for Gordon, which means SST has to kick goals. Don't really like seeing players still coming back from an ACL kicking goals.

 

[Headless Chook]

Gordon is almost a cert to run around for us again next year, you would think. We need a reliable goal kicker not a part timer. Points from tries alone just won't cut it.

Must say that backline looks mighty tasty.

Not that I mind having flash stay for another year but correct me if I am wrong, Keary is a handy goal kicker?

From memory he did a good enough job for souffs when Reynolds was absent?

If you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Keary

it says 63 games for souffs, 12 tries and 0 goals.
So unless that page is wrong, then we need Flash.

I just checked Luke Keary's profile page on the NRL's website. He has kicked 0 goals in his first grade career.

His page on the rugby league project website indicates in his 73 games first grade games (as at 15 May 2017) he has scored 15 tries and kicked 0 goals.

Apparently Teddy is going to be the kicker for the Tigers this weekend, fingers crossed he goes ok with it.

If SST plays good minutes we may be able to get away with Teddy as the backup kicker if he kicks at around 70%.

Gordon on the wing looks like the best option atm.

According to a quote that I saw in the Telegraph (can't remember if it was Saturday or Sunday) Tupes said he is in the final stages of finalising a new deal with the Roosters for 4 years.

 

[Headless Chook]

Not sure about 4 years. Some of the things he did on the field yesterday (some good, some horrible) suggests he is our new and improved SKD.

The Roosters have released Paul Carter from the remainder of his contract with immediate effect.

He may or may not have been with SKD on his ill fated trip to the Ivy....

Just as it may or may not have been SKD's product that landed him in trouble. Except the answers are opposite.
Carter is a dog and has ruined others careers as well as his own

On a more serious note to answer your question, he hasn't yet but there is some news regarding this in today's Daily Telegraph -

Blake Ferguson to sign a new Roosters deal in coming weeks
Fatima Kdouh, The Daily Telegraph
July 4, 2017 5:59pm

BLUES winger Blake Ferguson has all but confirmed he’ll be staying at the Roosters after revealing the only roadblock to securing his future were the on-going Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.

Ferguson is the last piece of the backline puzzle at the tricolours, with Daniel Tupou re-signing, veteran fullback Michael Gordon earning a one-year extension and Shaun Kenny-Dowall linking with the Knights.

The signature of star fullback James Tedesco on a lucrative deal at the Bondi club, only fuelled speculation Ferguson would be squeezed out due to added salary cap pressure.

But the 27 year-old says it is not a matter of if but when he puts pen to paper.

“I’m just waiting to have another meeting [with the Roosters], there’s a fair chance I’ll be staying there,” he said at Blues training camp.

“I’m pretty happy with the deal they’ve shown me on the table and we’re pretty close.

“Obviously I wanted to get it done before the Origin series but it of dragged out because of the CBA negotiations.

“Hopefully we can get it locked in over the next couple of weeks and have it signed, sealed and delivered”.

He also quashed any talk he could be heading to the Knights.

“I’ve never really spoken to Newcastle, if it did happen that I had to move on then I would… that’s rugby league, but for me I just want to focus on playing footy for the Roosters and keep building a very good team that we have there,”he said.

Ferguson was full of praise for teammate and 219 NRL game veteran Gordon, who on Tuesday extended his stay for another year at the foundation club.

“Flash has been one of our best every week. He’s an old fella but he’s got some young legs on him he’s playing some really good footy,”he said.

“It was good to see someone like Michael come to the club and really relish in the role that he’s got.”

p.s.

adam, you need to learn the difference between resign and re-sign. As they mean two different things.

Resign means they have left/terminated their contract e.g. Adam is going to resign his job with the ABC Company.

Re-sign means they have signed a new contract to extend with the same employer/organisation e.g. Adam is going to re-sign with the ABC Company for a further 2 years.

Cheers.

I know the difference, it was a typo
