Rumours and Stuff

Tough year for the Eels losing 2 legends of the club on top of everything else

Take him off the Broncos books? Awesome, he is probably only 150k according to that.

Broncos offload his $150k salary
Eels have to put him on their cap for $1.5m
Broncos get the difference, $1.35m, to spend on other players.

Good one Gronk!

Good one Gronk!

I did nothing, apparently.

Thats right $150K ... they will contribute $75K and we will have to make up the remaining $350K ... all adds up

You twit. More like $150k, Broncos will contribute $70k - so we get him on $80k as a minimum salary player.
Unfortunately Peter Sharp called a board meeting where we guaranteed to match the $600k in TPAs he is getting up in Brisbane, wrote it in his contract, and taped the meeting for good measure.

According to one of the TCT guys, it was the Broncos who approached us to see if we were interested in taking Hunt. They obviously have someone in their sights and need cap room

That'd probably be to help make space to re-sign Milford.

Good point. Who would be their 7 ? Taylor has re-signed with the Titans.

Nikorima?

 

[Avenger]

I'd be tempted to go with Gutherson/Norman with Robson, Fogarty and Cornish as back ups. Wait until mid 2017 and if it's not working go all out for Mitchell Moses or Jack Bird for 2018.

Good governance starts with thorough documentation.

Elgey maybe

Yeah go hard for bird

Brent Read said that Cook wants a release from Souths but unlikely to get it at this stage.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I read he wants to go to the Sharks to be their long term replacement for Ennis. I'm sure Souths want him to be their long term replacement for Farah.

 

[caylo]

Cook is super average, a DeGois at best and a Matt Keating at worst. Any team with long term aspirations can't be looking at him for the future. A backup at best

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cook was pretty good toward the end of the season.

 

[Avenger]

Warriors are willing to release Ben Matulino in order to fit Foran under the cap. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Can play tough but an average defender, limited out of acting half, limited kicking game. Depends what you want as a hooker, i don't see him making many if any first 17

I dont think he is the player he was a few years ago ... whether thats a result of other factors or just he's on the way down, i don't know
