Rumoured Signings

[Exsilium]

It's a weird situation that continues to occur.

Loved Lewy and loving Wade, didn't mind Mick Gordon at the time. But you's did snatch Dave Simmonds from us so fairs fair I spose.

Simmons could find that try line.

Underrated.

Val Holmes to play for NQ next year.

surely this is the end of League players and their "NFL dreams"

I hope so. I don't begrudge anybody for trying, but I do wonder whether they are getting advice from others that isn't in their best interest.

Crazy money for someone who’s best position is wing, and will be forcing a pretty promising fullback in drinkwater to change positions.

So that will be over $3mill of the cowboys cap on three players. What could go wrong?

It's crazy money. Unless you have a half that was playing on the level of Johns, Lockyer or others in their prime, nobody today is worth $1mil per season.

Nice holiday for him. Live in NY for a year, play dress-ups, some real life Madden and get out of the last year of his contract.

Nervous about this as a Cowboys member. Lot of money to pay for someone without proven playmaking ability who has to change body shape, endurance etc.

Yeah Hayne did really well after coming back.

Rudolf Valentino John Holmes IMO just doesn’t seem to love the game. It’s just a job to him and nothing more. That said, I hope he goes well and the Cows get some decent return on their investment.

I honestly believe this was a bigger factor than most, basically a paid holiday with the worst case scenario is he comes back to his home town with a $1M contract

100% he was taking the piss.

 

[skeepe]

100% he was taking the piss.

Absolutely. The practice squad isn’t the end of the road, it should be a starting point.

Now if he’s getting advice from Jets coaches that he won’t make it, that’s one thing. But if he’s chucking it in because he didn’t make the cut on his first try, he was never serious in the first place.

 

[beave]

100% as well he was taking the piss. And we’re f**king idiots for being a part of it as well. This is not how I wanted him to come back to NQ,

 

[typicalfan]

He needs a strong halves pairing to make him look good a la Alex Johnston.

That's if he returns to the player he once was which is a huge if.

The ultimate source for this is the Daily Telegraph, so I have no idea of its veracity, but reports are both the Rabbitohs and the Roosters are looking at trying to sign David Fifita from the Broncos for 2021 - https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/david-...hed-up-bitter-rivals-circle--1m-fifita_241019

I doubt we'll sign him. Easy clicks for the telecrap - every big name player gets linked to the Roosters when they come off contract

And just like Johnston - great winger with aspirations for fullback moolah.

 

[Fairfax]

For what it's worth my Rabbitohs sources are saying Angus Crichton to Parrmatta.

DCE to the Broncos is doing the rounds on social media


Surely it’s not possible

DCE has already publicly denied it - https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/ch...f-broncos-switch-rumours-20191024-p533ti.html

Its more likely what some Bronco fans would like to see, someone else read it and assumed 2 + 2 = 5 thus it must have some truth to it and started circulating it.

Hahahaha must be dark times at Red Hill if the red headed step child of the Maroons is regarded as a saviour.
