Rumours and Stuff

They'll have to wait for Ian Schubert to put a dollar value on him.

Join the queue, we've been waiting since 2012.

Schubert's not the NRL Cap Auditor anymore - he's a cap consultant at Bondi Junction way

Thanks, Scoop.

Thanks, Scoop.

Don’t be too harsh. He has been dead for the past 68 years.

Dane Gagai anyone

Souths winger Dane Gagai has reportedly been offered to the Parramatta Eels as they try to manage their salary cap.

Gagai, who has played 206 NRL games for the Broncos, Knights and Rabbitohs, declared last week that he is willing to take a pay cut to allow the club to re-sign Reynolds.

However, Channel 9’s Danny Weidler reports that if Adam Reynolds stays at the club, Gagai could still be forced out.

Reynolds’ future has been the centre of speculation, with his agent Steve Gillis declaring last week that unless the Rabbitohs increase their offer to a two or or three-year deal, he will likely depart the club.

Weidler said on the Big Sports Breakfast that the Rabbitohs need to relieve salary cap pressure in some way.

“I think that if Reynolds is there, the way Souths have explained it to me, there is no Dane Gagai,” he said.

“If he stays, Dane will be elsewhere and there will be a stack of clubs looking at him. He’s been put to Parramatta. Early indications I’ve been getting, Brad Arthur wasn’t that keen on getting him. He won’t come cheap. He is a quality footballer.

“He may struggle to stay at Souths unless they get some relief in their cap. I did speak to Steve Gillis [Reynolds’ agent] about that and still word is no-one is budging. Sooner rather than later clubs will come knocking and try to sign Adam Reynolds up. I think there is a real stalemate… but Souths are very much against singing older players on longer deals.

“They want Adam Reynolds to do what John Sutton did and go year-by-year. Their belief was if it is good enough for John Sutton it is good enough for Adam Reynolds.”

Juicy

God, please, not Gagai - unless we change our uniform colours to maroon, he isn't worth it.

 

[84 Baby]

He’d be a salarily adjusted downgrade on Opacic IMO

exactly ... he is like f**kin superman for qld - and lois lane for his club side

 

[Twizzle]

pass

 

[parra pete]

Steven Marsters in Souths Reserve grade would be a better player to target. I reckon he is a beauty...

 

[Avenger]

How about we stick with what we have and nurture Penisini? No chance I’d be going after an expensive centre. @parra pete thinking is more like it. No chance I’d risk it with Gagai or someone like Staggs who is coming back from a knee reconstruction.

 

[Gronk]

Gagai would be on a squillion. Then we'd have two expensive erratic Ferraris (Waqa, Gagai) in the garage.

 

[84 Baby]

I might take Gageye on a reduced Menko deal but I doubt that’s what he’s currently on nor could Souffs afford to make up difference. And unless we’re going to warehouse players, I wouldn’t chase Marsters either and TBH I’d take Jaxson Paulo over him.
We do need a Menko replacement but how many obstacles do we also want to put in front of Penisini? You don’t want a gaping hole to plug but you also don’t want his surroundings to be too tight that he can’t force his way in without potential heartache

Souths want Reynolds to take on all the risk, and their fans should want it too. Conversely, Reynolds and his dependents should want Souths to absorb the risk and give him a final massive pay day.

Gagai as great attacking player.

Probably why they're happy to let Gagai go.

Attacking players cost more than good defenders, so you need to be smart about which ones you sign. It's why the shit clubs tend to have all their stars in the outside backs. Because they can't get the best attacking forwards and halves for anything close to market value.

Prior to last year, most of our Origin reps over the past decade have been wingers and centres. Shows where we were as a club, even when Arthur's superior coaching got us high ladder finishes.

 

[Eelogical]

I can just hear the commentators now. Penisini gives it to Gaigai.

 

[Stevie]

I’d take Gaigai at centre on 800k a year for 1 year providing South’s kick in 850k a year for 2 years.

I'd pass. Let the Bunnies sort their own mess out.
