Rumours and Stuff

[phantom eel]

It'll probably be two lame teams running round on teh day, so rather fitting?

 

[Twizzle]

I dont switch it on till the game starts anyway

 

[Stevie]

Soooo... any new signing rumors??

 

[Rxchiie]

Soooo... any new signing rumors??

At this time of the year no, just gotta wait till the seasons over. Apparently we're looking at signing him but I doubt he'll leave

 

[hineyrulz]

Meh very meh.

Not excited at all.

BRONCOS BARGAIN: MEAD’S HUGE PAYCUT

Brisbane have snared a bargain.

The club’s newest recruit, David Mead, has cost them less than $150,000 for 2017.

It’s a saving of more than half of what Mead was earning at the Titans with his deal in 2016 believed to be worth around $330,000 a season.

By agreeing to just a one-year contract, it has kept the door ajar for the 27-year-old to pursue lucrative options in rugby overseas.

Um what ? A player at the top of his game takes a 50% paycut ? Sounds legit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Mead is terribly overrated. I can't see any club offering more than $150k

Manly did.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Do we know that for sure? And if so do we know how much more they offered? By going to the Broncos Mead doesn't even need to move house.

 

[Tommy Coco]

Does anyone care to provide the rest of the story around Parra and Foran parting ways?

Mental health issues, allegedly missing scheduled appointments, stripped captaincy and requesting a release has to be much less than the full story.

Parra not wanting $1.2m locked up was known prior to actually signing him.

A mutually convenient release ?

Absolute shyte.

F**k that. You ever tried doing that commute?

But it wasn't locked up until the NRL decided to include it under the cap, which happened after he was signed.

He will probably stay in Brisbane on 'school nights'.

 

[Tommy Coco]

So you reckon he became too expensive once we couldn't rort... Or something to that effect

But why not even a look in now at the fire sale 1 yr price NZ is rumoured to be close with?

He wants to be in NZ? Maybe? But if feels like it's not even half the story. After all BA is still good mates with him (sterlo one on one)

 

[Twizzle]

He doesn't seem to know what he wants, check the Foran thread

So notional value seems to go out the window again when it comes to the Bronco's????

 

[hineyrulz]

Absolute shyte.

I was trying to be kind, but yes Keith Turdan is a shocking choice.

Well done Toddy having a great debut year.
