Rumours and Stuff

Could the Travis Turnbull move relate to the infamous paper bags used by a certain recruitment official

Guess any Queensland player can get homesick, just seems like the celery cap and TPAs etc favour etc certain clubs. Even though the NRL would never admit these factors favour single city teams and the Roosters

Would be a massive shame to lose Turnbull. If the rumour is true I am very keen to see where he ends up.

I'm told that likely destination is the Cowboys

1. You agree he's a good player
2. He's younger than Cam Smith
3. He's averaged 18 games over the past three seasons (and missed games through origin)
4. I'd argue he's only over-rated compared to his salary
5. I agree he's selfish in the current tigers setup although could be different here
6. Probably...but I think he'd tone it down a bit at a new club.

Agree to disagree.

Absolutely, mate.

Really?

Our pack, which has shown it can lock horns with pretty much any team, will get a genuine impact weapon in Vave.

Our backline, already one of the most exciting and talented in the NRL, will consolidate as Gutherson and French continue to improve.

I am of the inclination that Norman will stay so even if Jarryd doesn't come home (I think he is a very good chance to do so. Edit - Good chance to come home that is), our spine will be at least of the same level that has seen us seriously compete these last two months.

Above all, Brad Arthur is still our coach. I don't think anything else needs to be said here.

I am not telling you to throw a stack of cash on us to win it all next year but I think there is cause for legitimate optimism.

I really rate Vave - it was an inspiring signing.

But I suppose I'm a natural pessimist- I just reckon we are weaker next year.

I do sincerely hope I'm wrong.

I agree we will be weaker next year, but even before the salary cap bullshit I thought that would be the case. Timing is usually out of your control and Norman/Peats/Paulo were all going to offer their career best value in 2016.
