Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVI

Crap on

 

[The Elephant In The room]

A distinct lack of crap in this thread.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fixed.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Too much f**king crap in this thread now. Where are the signing rumours?

 

[Twizzle]

something about Tedesco

 

[Parraren]

The Tedesco thing got me laughing at poor old RS.

Then it made me think, do you reckon we've signed someone but have held back on the announcement until post rd13 after last years Papali fiasco. If so, who?

Then I laughed some more at RS.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I think we have.

 

[Parraren]

Teo is a strange one.

Hasn't taken up the Souths offer but hasn't signed elsewhere?

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

He said that he had a few options, so there i'd say there are def NRL clubs after him as well as Union.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If they're not a massive name - a crowd puller - then rugby won't match offers from NRL clubs.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I'll tell you what, if we have signed someone and are waiting for after round 13 to announce it, we have done a great job keeping it under raps.

 

[IFR33K]

Surely the round 13 rule needs to be abolished.

Clubs are being taken to the cleaners by the players.

Who said he's going to Union?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

'They' did.

Personally I think he will stay in the NRL for the reason I gave. I hope it's us because he would be perfect.

I think he will too.

He'd be good, but i'd be more keen on buying a forward with more leadership. Teo doesn't do it for me in that department. But, who can we get???

giving until rd 13 is stupid but I do think there needs to be a cooling off period after a player has signed until the contract is formally registered to allow clubs a chance at matching offers.

At least tedesco flipped within a week. If a player signs very early in the year then flips just before the deadline it can severely affect a club's future planning and recruitment that may have worked around a particular signature.

Should just be a two week window after signing or rd 13, whichever occurs first to finalize a contract and register it I think.

I think Teo could become a leader for us, just like Peats.

He doesn't need to play that role at Souths and neither did Nathan.

He'd be a great buy for us but I reckon he'd be after a fair bit of coin.

Do we have the cap space for an Origin forward?

 

[strider]

he led the charge giving it to danny weilder with both barrels at a press interview they showed on NRL 360 last night .... told him he wont answer any of his questions then told him where he could stick it and called him a grub at the end of it - lol

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I don't know about the space. Hopefully we can entice Watmough over. Channel 9 ran a story last night of how he and DCE can't stand each other. If it's true, it will help us to convince him to leave.

I don't want him. He is not the player we need.
