Rumours and Stuff

Hoffman on 150K? Ha. I reckon that about the figure guys like Ryan Morgan or Falou would be on.

A lot closer to 300k would be my guess and I reckon Titans deal would of been closer to 400k.

Sure guys like Hoffman are fine. But do you want to lose a talented Junior like GL? He may be value and cost less for the next few years whilst improving the position and potential to replace a semi. Hoffman is just one of those guys. They will never bite you on the butt for letting them go. Squad fillers.

So this Tedesco rumour has now made 2SM. There talking like Parra a very smart club that beat Roosters to the punch. No way this rumour can be true if it includes a player swap.

Tedesco can't backflip to join the eels if he's signed with the roosters. He can only backflip to stay at his current club. And if he hasn't signed with the roosters why would we be offering a player swap if he's off contract. Only outcome IF there's a player swap is for this season. And no way will BA let go of guthbus.

If GL becomes better than Hoffman there is no reason BA won't pick him over Hoffman, and we'll still be able to pay GL around backup money for his first senior contract . Hoff is not on big money and is a versatile back, he's a very good backup if that becomes his role. And late in his career there's no reason he won't hang around....and if he doesn't want to then we release him.

That's the way it used to be. I don't think it is now.

Sounds like Fabian Goodall
No. I saw Goodal and Lavaka. My impression of those 2 where 2 powerfull islanders who just ran over top of guys due to early body development.

Honestly Tui Aifalou and Akafalou would fit closer to their mould, however both do look faster and more skillfull at this stage then either.

GL looks quite special. Titans fans would be burning. We got ourselves a good one here.

The best part of GL is his attitude. He seems to just want the ball and look for it. Seems like type who loves playing football.

He may of only agreed to the terms but not signed anything, So it would be a backflip on his word not the contract. Who said he has signed anything with any club?
