Rumoured Targets 3

[macavity]

your spot on.

Hopefully Newcastle can see this and are now working towards this as an outcome. It will take time but its worth it if we can end up with an outcome similar to what Penrith has

we need junior hubs in the country. It’s that simple. There aren’t enough juniors just in the Hunter and everyone scouts there anyway. We need to draw from Gosford to Coffs and out to Moree, and kids need to be able to stay home but get good coaching and facilities until they are ready to come here after school. It’s the play. Expensive, but it’s the play.

The transfer fee is useless to us. We need players.

A transfer fee falls under the Roosters cap right? How the f*** can they afford that as well as Dom’s salary under their cap?

 

[PhilGould]

They'd probably just pick up whatever his current low salary is or maybe a slight upgrade and then the big money starts next year. That's what they'd say they're doing to the auditors at least.

Still think it's unlikely they give up anyone desirable but Tupouniua could be a compromise as a swap. He's out until mid-year with an injury and they've got a few young forwards on the cusp of first-grade who they could bank on.

The one guy who would know better than you and me suggests you are indeed full of shit.

He knows no more than anyone else does who speculates about contract values as after all they all in confidence and not released to the general public

The Sydney Roosters are in talks with the Newcastle Knights to get an immediate release for English winger Dominic Young to play in the opening round of the premiership against the Dolphins.

News Corp can reveal the Knights have asked to swap the English Test winger for a Roosters forward.

The Knights were keen on either Nat or Egan Butcher, which the Roosters have rejected.

There is now talk of the Roosters offering compensation with a transfer fee.

The Roosters signed wingers Corey Allan from the Bulldogs and Jaxson Paulo from the Rabbitohs during the off-season.

However they are desperately keen to add Young to their roster.

Young signed with the Roosters earlier this week from 2024 onwards.

He said he was committed to playing out his final year for the Knights before the two clubs began negotiations for a swap.

The arrogance of the Roosters is f**king disgusting....

 

[Knight Tales]

We should ask as a transfer fee the amount of money it will take to get KPP and Will here and then use his money to pay Wigan and Hudderfield for early releases.

Angus Crichton.

He may appreciate a fresh start somewhere else.

Angus Crichton.

As I understand it, The Knights tried signing him last year and he rejected them

Doubt his mind has changed

 

[Spot On]

You never know.

Sometimes things change.

Not here in Newy of course. We f**king suck deluxe in every way … and have done for yonks.

Crichton’s future is unclear atm. A glimmer of hope maybe.

It's like when they use quotes from unnamed sources - you know they are making it up.

And we need to call them on it. Show some balls. We have the player they want, he’s our best outside back we deserve a player of equal value or they can wait til 2024.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

The funny thing about that article is the headline says Robbo made promises but there are no actual promises mentioned in the article at all.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

We should 100% be looking for a trade on this. One of the Butchers would be good for sure. Or give us Lindsay Collins for a bit of mongrel.

Zero chance as he's a long term Roosters from the Junior Days when he played Harold Matts and SG Ball before going to Rugby and unfortunately to the wrong side of Anzac Parade when he returned to League

We all know the history.

But right now, things aren’t as rosy as they could be.

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Good. If they want him that badly this season, they can give us someone we want in return. Otherwise f**k off Uncle Nick

Chrichton seems pretty set on staying there. He would be the perfect backrower for us.

 

[Yosh]

Wow. If we get either of the Butcher lads that's not too bad. The difference between Dom and Hunt isn't as big as the gap between a Butcher and Fitz or Jones.

If he is going to leave for free next season and we are nowhere near a premiership threat, let's get ourslevs a quality backrower!!
