inu if hes being released will be to free up cap space for hayne who is out of pocked 200k in 3rd party deals.
dragons to get procter
probably re grant souths wont pay his whole wage and want penrith to subsidise some of it and gould holding out for full value
Mansour was only just out of under 20's when he left. He would get a spot in front of Tuquiri any bloddy day. Tuquiri is awful and should never play first grade again.
I think you will find Souths still have close to the highest number of local juniors in their club.

Eels have said the Hayne thing has been sorted
About souths having more local juniors than other clubs
where?
read it on twitter man. Eels were tagged through mole (i know he's not the best source) but he has said a few times today to fans that the eels have it sorted
Souths junior count is nothing great, actually down on where it was for the past few years
Ironic that when we had more juniors we were at the bottom of the ladder, but as soon as you bring in the professional approach success usually follows?
Need to take a leaf from the Roosters and Bulldogs' books, they've made the Grand Final combined 7 times in the last 14 years and are always active in the player market.
I just had a look and Souths have 8 local juniors in their 25 man squad. That's not a bad amount. Plus Turner and Keery were brought down as kids.
It's impossible to field a team of juniors and still be competitive, the talent available just isn't that deep and not diverse enough in positions. We've had a lot of great juniors come up in the hooker position, some in the halves, a couple in the backs but almost no quality juniors in the forwards for example. So you need to recruit
so 5 local juniors is top in the NRL? Woah

Semi? Even though he was born in Fiji he never played for a junior club over there and debuted as an Under 20's for Eels.
According to Lara Pitt the Tigers aren't offering enough for Tedesco ATM
They will find the money. Tedesco is a tigers boy.
