Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVI

[phantom eel]

Out of Kelepi, Peni and Pritchard... it might just come down to which one do we have to let go/move on, to balance our immediate salary cap demands (and try and be competitive next season, instead of in five years time).

I think Kelepi has massive potential, and Peni has been ok and is still young too. I don't think either of them would be on (or be looking for) big money at this stage. I just get the feeling with Pritchard that given his early inclusion in the Top 25 on salary it might be more "worth our while" to move him on, if we had to pick one out of these three.

. AU REVOIR TO INU

Krisnan Inu has played his last game for Canterbury. The enigmatic three-quarter is on a plane to France on Monday to begin his rugby career. Inu was considered by some good judges as a better talent than Jarryd Hayne when the two players came through Westfields Sports High, but hasn't quite realised his potential. The former New Zealand international is hoping a change of scene - and code - will reignite his career.

Wow, french rugby.... Despite the tearful video on leaving Parramatta, seems it was always about the dollars for Krisnan?

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

What a shame. I wish he had stayed with us all those years ago.

 

[emjaycee]

Seems like my source was on the mark - we aren't signing INU.

He was.

We have enough outside backs for next year. We might need a backup centre but between Toutai and Folau (allegedly re-signed for three years) they've got it covered, and fairly cheaply too I expect.

Morgan's no star but he's good enough to play first grade every week.

You were bang on there brother.

Good luck to him. The Dogs were trying to move him on....he may as well take the best deal on the table....and get to live somewhere different for a while. Although my sources tell me he'll get homesick and lazy.

:lol: :lol:

 

[yy_cheng]

We'll sign him up after his return from France

Damm mate told me Tanginoa is the other forward : (
And hunt has been told too look elsewhere too

 

[oldmancraigy]

Shocked about hunt!! Lol.

Proved he has no future in top 25 squads, will be surprised if we manage to ditch him.

 

[El Diablo]

Ricky rates him. send him to the Raiders

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He hasn't been the same since his back injury. He's even been shit for Wenty.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Hunt is an awesome player, it's just a shame for him he happens to be stuck behind the best player in the NRL. He'd walk into any other team but ours, and probably be first picked. Other clubs would be mad not to make enquiries about him. We really don't want to let him go, and anyone picking him up would have to pay full freight, but out of compassion for the guy a release just may be considered. A special talent like Hunt deserves to be in the NRL.

I hope that was sarcasm...

Just wondering how many Wenty games you have got to this year to make that analysis??

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Nah. My sources tell me he has been carrying injury all year. It's the sort of injury you can play through but it just makes you look a bit rubbish. It should clear up around September.

I saw some footage of him pre-season training, before the injury, and he was doing some unbelievable stuff. Arthur was even considering shifting Hayne to accommodate him. Unfortunately the footage was lost when it burned. In a fire.
