Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

[Special K]

Souths have about 6 forwards off contract though. One if Tom Burgess on about $650-700. They'll have money.

I'll bite.

We have 8 players off left

Daniel Atkinson, Jayden Berrell, Wade Graham, Mawene Hiroti, Matt Ikuvalu, Sione Katoa, William Kennedy, Teig Wilton

Katoa is done. Wilton is getting done. Kennedy NFI. The rest probably walk and we cycle in similar level squad depth guys. I could see Atkinson, Iku staying on small deals. Berrell I guess makes or breaks. Hiroti surely its done. Don't forget we came into this off season with Sifa, Ronnie and Trindall on this list. It will get done.

Souths have 9 left

Thomas Burgess, Jed Cartwright, Michael Chee-Kam, Dean Hawkins, Jacob Host, Terrell Kalo Kalo, Liam Knight, Hame Sele, Blake Taaffe

Burgess is souths. His brother is being built as a future coach. The rest are bit players. Host is apparently on ok cash. More than Wade? Probably even. Knight would be on better than nothing. The rest nothing.

 

[Ozzi_78]

I want 1.5 of those 8. I hope Fitz is thinking similar.

With how Healey is looking there might not be a spot for Berrell for too much longer.

Tedesco and Joseph Sualii are both off contract at the end of 2024.

I would love to see Fitzy solve the Roosters’ problem for them… I’m talking Teddy…

 

[Special K]

He would be 32 then. Still good to go but I don't see the cash available.

Like it or not we are building a deep team of 7-9 out of 10 style players. Not many tens and I'd argue Nicho is our only 9/10 atm*

* disclaimer - I LOVE Nicho. Just saying he is not Cleary/Munster level game breaker atm.

I see he made debut 2021 but no first grade last year was he injured ??

I think Special K, if we were to go down that path we approach for 2024 a year early a two or 3 year deal, Roosters may release free up cash keep Sualali happy.
Do we have the cash we would need close to a mil.
Kennedy will let go I would guess we budgeted for around 400-500.
Wilton is off contract again I think about 500.
Moylan is the other one is a Super League takes him prob 300.
We have coverage on all those players

Immediately ? Wow !There's some opportunities ,potential, Talent , Challenges ,and competition in the middle. Should be interesting to see who steps up. No room for complacency. Forwards been weekness against top sides . Good to see it being addressed with view to long term . Klemmer ? NAS ? JWH /? been there done that .. Looking for a Payday ! all looking for a payday . Want players looking for a career. The glittering Prize !

 

[Tiger Shark]

Geez he’s a big human. Can only imagine Fitz knows him

 

[Quigs]

Geeze I wonder what the commentators official pronunciation of that boppers name is going to be.

I know I have trouble with all the islander blokes names.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

I like this signing of young blokes that we’re doing. Yeah they’re not all ready for the top grade yet (including the young fella from Newie) but augers well for the future. f**k paying overs for players looking for a big final payday....with the exception of Finnucaine who will be a big part of bringing these guys through.

Just say Tuks, phonetically 'Tooks'

Interesting that many Aussies take pride in being able to pronounce words like ‘Wollomoloo’, but can’t be bothered trying to pronounce words (names) from other languages (cultures)…

Hopefully this is gradually changing.

Over the last few seasons commentators have made great efforts to learn how to pronounce players names correctly.
This will filter down to the audience and eventually it will be the norm to be able to say their names right.

There's a video of all Raiders first graders each saying their own name. I reckon this would be handy for the commentators when preparing for the game.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Rumour is that Teig will sign with Souffs (Uncle Bomber) . Heard this before and was iterated to me yesterday, geez I hope its not true.

Anything the Mole (Tony Adams) says has about a 5%-10% chance of happening. He writes this shit for Twitter hits.
