Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

[Luke Bowden]

Roosters have done well keeping it quiet but you don't release good guys for culture reasons

Kept what quiet? You’re just assuming he’s done something wrong. It’s absolutely impossible to keep secrets in rugby league, you can keep stuff out of the media, but it would have definitely been around the League community and there has been nothing.

 

[Luke Bowden]

I totally agree. Chooks don't release players like May, unless something is smelly about him.

They released him to free up Money, they knew he’d be easy to move on. He’s a very easy sell to other clubs.

 

[IcemanCleary]

Herbie is a good shout

Peter Lang has just confirmed it is Spencer that wants out

Yes. Look at their losses they didn't need the cap space

 

[Luke Bowden]

Yes. Look at their losses they didn't need the cap space

Yeah they do, if they want KP or Brown

 

[BossleyPanther]

Spencer coming back is a no brainer and I'm sure if the club want him back, they would get the cap for it... Don't they have $400k left of something ?

 

[Iamback]

May would of been on $400k at a guess so you aren't getting much left after you replace him

not to mention he was re-signed in April

They were already losing JWH, Su'ualli etc by that stage, If that was the plan then don't re-sign him

It is a Roosters thing though. They are always in the market. As soon as they start losing they head hunt the best players. The Robson signing came out of nowhere and he is top draw. They've made some lousy recruitment decisions otherwise though.

They are ballsy enough to try and lure the Cleary family.

I'm sure they have already approached them

 

[Fangs]

I'm sure they have already approached them

Probably.

I see a potential future with Nathan in Penrith (Or England <3 ) and Ivan coaching NSW/AU. To go to another club as a partnership is just a bit weird when they've got it made here. Splitting up makes total sense though and Ivan doing rep duties means he can avoid coaching against his son.

That is fine but that would or should of been the plan once they lost Manu and co.

So I don't doubt they have a plan for that. Just not sure a prop on an average contract is vital to doing it

Nathan probably goes has a bludge in France playing rugby or something post career.

He has achieved it all. Going to another club and flogging his body has no merit

The decision was made during the season review which was conducted at the season and was specifically focused on the 2026 onwards roster.

If there was some sort of scandal, it wouldn’t have played out like that. They would have just sacked him.

 

[Black Panther]

Peter Lang has just confirmed it is Spencer that wants out

Spencer back would be awesome. Was dirty he left in the first place, but said he left for the Pinnacle. I bet he would take a pay cut to return.

 

[maple_69]

Who needs Spencer back on big coin when we have Spencer at home on a cheap deal till 2027.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Spencer back would be great.

if only we had the space.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

Spencer back would be great.

if only we had the space.

If Spencer were to return, he would be blocking the progress of an up and comer.
He knocked back the Panthers and Bulldogs to get the big bucks at Roosters. so suck it up Princess.

This is business.

He won’t be back we can’t fit him in, but If he’s blocking someone, it’s because he’s better.

At present, he makes our starting 17.
