Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Hooked]

He will be better then Luai in 2yrs mate. Special talent

Is 6 his best position Hindy?

Just on Parra, a couple of weeks ago the idea of moving Gutherson to accommodate other talent (ie, Talagi) was slammed as "offensive".

Lol. Go lie in your bed now slimes.

Marto Garner sorro. Garner takes sorros starting spot. He is only 28 mate his birthday is september.

So he turns 30 at the end of next season. Still is 30 next season. How many edge backrowers in the comp are playing decent footy at that age?

Not to mention what we paid for Papalli it is overs IF he isn't getting 80 mins most weeks

Also, re Laurie. I just have a suspicion that Ivan will try shoehorn him in the team at wing as a Turuva replacement.

No mail and not what I'd do. Just a hunch.

The rumours were bullshit from the beginning. They’re all inconsistent depending on who is reporting it.. and what day it is.

Dribbler yesterday. Club is shopping him around due to cap pressure.
Dribbler today. His manager is meeting eith the club to explain why he is unhappy.

NRL360… no one has any inside info. They all just speculated its because he learned what he was on in origin. Which works favourably for us because he is on great money for a winger.

Random fans on internet…. He’s leaving to join his best friend at Tigers.

Sure, some of the news is inconsistent but bullshit from the beginning? The club is having a meeting with his manager, that doesn't scream bullshit to me. Far from it.

The kids got 9 tries and 12 linebreaks in 13 games for a terrible parra side at 19 years old. How could you not be excited to bring that given all the talent we are losing.

 

[martielang]

Talagi is a talent.

But they could be two of the worst first names I've heard.

How else are you getting to the bottom of it?

 

[Roosters rule]

@Blade23 @Roosters rule
Anything you can say guys?

I know you said it was horse shit a bit ago Blade but have you heard anything since then? For all that people hate him Danny wouldn't double down on this unless he was 100% sure.

Sorry haven't heard a thing.

 

[martielang]

There are these things called a phone...

'No truth to it, Brian is happy with current arrangement' 'Ok thanks'

Because there would be more involved then just 2 parties.

Ivan, Matt Cameron from the clubs side atleast would be in there

Gotta agree with Martie here as much as I hate doing that, a meeting with Biz management doesnt really scream "its bullshit" to me.

It's hard to say. I think fullback or centre as I don't see a kicking game. His issue is defense and horrid under the high ball. His ceiling is very high. I saw him last year and he was tiny but when he popped up this year he had a reasonable build. I reckon come 2025 he will be a very solid build.
He isn't overly fast but his feet are excellent and his power is great. I think he was Parras best junior since D.Brown.

Or the club really is blind sided by the rumours and want clarity from his management? That scenario is entirely possible.

He didn’t request a release. Nor did the club shop him around.

It was bullshit. The club probably requested a meeting to make sure everything is all good because the media blew the story up. Perhaps they weren’t satisfied with a phone call to do so.

From day one it was all speculation. He wanted more money. He wanted to join Romey. We couldn’t afford his contract etc.

It was all guess work by the media based on social media bullshit. Dodgy up a photoshop and tgey run with it. Which gives a fake story ‘credibility’ and then people speculate why he is leaving.

That is how I see it too

Yes could be this but the cynic in me makes me think its the other. IF there was nothing you'd Biz just told them without involving the manager or a quick call sorts that. Not saying every part of its true maybe its just the manager or both agitating for a bit more money. Who knows. But i just feel like a meeting suggest there is something to it.

Brown is pure plod though

 

[BossleyPanther]

Years ago our Player went into Origin and other players from other clubs were talking about how much they earned and he found he wasn't earning as much as they were, he was pissed and requested more from the club. Forget who the player was Moylan, Gower, Jennings? But the story is similar with To'o

 

[martielang]

I'm not necessarily saying he wants to leave, or he has been shopped around, but given there's a meeting taking place there's clearly something to discuss that's bigger than a simple 'no, he's happy where he is'.
