i'm sure a straight swap for eden for semi would be legit for the donkeys. A new suburb may magically appear back in fiji though

The most troubeling rumour from a manly point of view is that Fulton is trying to make one of his sons assistant coach
It sure is concerning. My understanding is that one of them is the talent scout for country areas which is why we won't look at bringing back Cleal.

Apparently we have the 5/8 from Burleigh, Cullen. Sounds like he dominated the QCup final. Will be interesting to see how he performs. Seems a waste to buy Green as well.

Dylan Napa poised to take a $250K a year offer from the Bronco's. The Roosters are prepared to offer double but apparently he has become extremely homesick since talking to the Bronco's. Independent sponsors with no affiliation with the Bronco's are prepared to chip in an extra $500K a season.

I wouldn't say he 'dominated' but he was a well deserved winner of man of the match.
It's a very odd signing, he'd make a good hooker/half/floating forward off the bench, but seeing as Manly has signed Green and have Parcell and Api K, I'm not sure where they all fit in.

Floating forward???

He's 179cm and 80kg!

Will be a good depth signing and will be first in line for a start if/when DCE or Green are injured.

Amazingly there is already a cure for this homesickness. Players in the past who have sufferers from this homesickness like Marty Kennedy, Ben Hannant and Ben Barba suddenly find a cure to their homesickness when they hit poor form and are dropped from the broncos 1st team.

Yeah, a floating forward, like DCE/Cronk/Morgan role off the bench in origin.
No real position, just an extra play maker.
He's a real J Reynolds energy type player and this sort of role would suit him against tiring forwards late in halves.

So true lol... Bronco's are also chasing Ryan James, will be a bit of a stretch for him to claim homesickness but we are talking the Bronco's here so anything is possible.

Cullen I think is one of those Luke Capewell players, too good for state league, not good enough for NRL. He's been in and out of both the Broncos and Titans systems for a few years now.

Napa has a huge future, he's better off at the Broncos. Too much garbage at the roosters at the moment.
Good to see someone not just following the money.

Great news. Broncos have spare money and need some bigger forwards.

For the life of me it is a joke that there is not a cap on the amount that can be applied to TPA for a player of say 20%. if a player is prepared to sign for $600,000 per season, then no more than $100,000 can be sourced from TPA with $500,000 needing to be applied against the club's cap.

At the moment players can have the majority of their contracts through TPA allowing less amounts to be applied against clubs salary cap and creating an extremely unlevel playing field across the clubs.

The rort needs to stop now
