Rumoured Signings 2013

[Charlie124]

I'm sure the QRL would allow it, but I can't imagine he would want to do it, he's got the best job in rugby league as it is.

 

[Patorick]

What was his coaching record at Canberra like? It wasn't bad if I remember correctly.

53.6%

Clint Newton :arrow: Knights

 

[murraymob]

Newton could be the youngest in there forward pack

I thought it would be a bit higher than that.. It must count 2001 when he co-coached with Elliot which was a terrible season.

He got the raiders to
3rd place in 1997
4th place in 2000

He had a pretty damn good roster though.

 

[legend]

1998 was farcical as well when you consider he had:

Daley
Wiki
Stuart
Clyde
Mullins
Priddis
Croker
Kennedy
Vainikolo
McLinden
Furner

according toThe Mole & others, Israel Folau to the Roosters & Shaun Kenny-Dowall to the Sharks for 2014

 

[Red&BlackBear]

How can Roosters possibly afford Folau?

Any reply explaining the real reasons the roosters can always afford new talent will get deleted so don't expect to get a proper answer to your question on here.

There is no guarantee SBW will be at the Roosters next year.

exactly, that would free up a few brown paper bags

Or SKD by the sounds of it, or Mini, or LOD?

bingo

 

[SaraSassypants]

SKD is apparently on 350k. They'd need to either backend or get rid of a few more surely? Maybe SBW is not re-signing?

 

[bottle]

Suffice it to say, what Uncle Nick wants, Uncle Nick gets.

 

[RWB]

Rise in salary cap + SKD = Folau.

How's that for some Maths?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Folau ain't coming. A cheaper, current rep might be though ;-)

We're paying more for SKD than Souffs claim to pay for Sam Burgess :lol:

Folau's superior to the bloke you're talking about, I'd pay the extra coin. He'll also be a lot easier to attract 3rd party sponsors.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Maybe. I personally never thought Folau was that great in league and he's certainly not worth the money to play on the wing, centre possibly but again never thought he matched the hype. I'd prefer you-know-who but a tackling bag would be more effective than SKD :lol:
