Rumours and Stuff

RCG has been a absolutely great for us, thought he totally outplayed Junior this year.

Big loss if we can’t retain him, but but but signing Bea wasn’t meant to keep all our players stability god damn it!!!!

Yep, agree totally. I don’t think I would of said
I’d rather RCG over jnr 12 months ago. One of my favorite players will be a huge loss. Let’s hope extending Ba is appealing to more players then just gutho.

If true not the end of the world if RCG leaves, obviously a great player, and we are better with him in the side.

But it frees up a lot of cap space. Helps us keep our players off contract. And we potentially have some players who could replace like Kaufusi (if he stays)

Kafusi has potential but not in rcg’s class. I know he’s young but IMO he won’t get there

Leeds Rhinos' head coach target Ryan Carr set for shock move - Serious About Rugby League

Apparent Leeds Rhinos target Ryan Carr has been linked with the vacant Wests Tigers assistant coaching role. Carr, who held the reins at the Featherstone Rovers for 2019 where he guided the club to within 80 minutes of Super League, is highly-rated within rugby league and currently coaches the...

Thats OK. As long as he is good again this year. Hell be 30 in the first year of that contract and we can save a fair chunk of salary cap.

He has an option in 2023 and we have an option in 2024.
I wonder if we could still invoke the 2024 option?

Don't forget we will get to keep the perfect back up half mate.

Id suggest The Shrub would have been first in line in 2022 regardless. He already jumped over Rankin and Smith this year.

Did he jump or was he pushed over them?????

Here’s a tip from TCT. Signed apparently.

Of course, but it does allow a cheaper player with potential to replace him, giving us cash to strengthen another position

As long as you don't blow their f**kholes that would be nasty.

Gee. I thought BAs re signing was supposed to be followed by players re signing. Bugger.

So far Smith, gone, RCG going and Marata likely going. Oh well at least we have stability.

Maybe the players thought BA resigned ffs
Edit. has he even talked to them!!??

Maybe he finally did and thats why???? Have you heard him talk??? Holy Peak Bali bogan boomer Batman!!!

And people on here laugh at Madge.

RCG was exceptional for us this season. But he’s on enormous coin. It might suit all parties that this has (apparently) happened.

Penrith have been chipping in, i thought it was for the whole of his contract???? Maybe not.

It's not about appealing to anyone, it was about having an established coach in place for when the club negotiated with all these off contract players. However many we end up losing, we would've lost more if we looked like a f**king mess with no coach for 2023.

As I stated at least 6 months ago before the media revealed it the Čotrić rumour still has legs. The stumbling block was always the amount that the Dogs will chip in. They know they paid too much. He will be our only big name signing if we pull it off.

Marata is as good as gone and the Warriors may even ask for him next year. Their offer we cannot compete with.

Everyone else is expected to re-sign including Mahoney.

Makes sense with Marata liking that post about him being linked to the Warriors. They did give us Papali’i so we can’t begrudge them too much. A lot of people have been saying that we don’t have enough good players. We better be careful because if we lose RCG and Niukore without adequate replacements we really won’t. The upcoming season is a critical one because you’d think it’ll be the best team we’ll have on the park over the next few seasons so we better make the most of it.

RCG is a big loss but he also may be the type of player who needs a new scene to keep on top of his game and not get stale. We may end up with the same RCG at the back end of his Panther career.

But but but but bit the boys love playing for BA.........

 

[The Predictor]

I’m hearing we have no major signings on the horizon, as I mentioned previously, we will have more than rcg and marata moving on, with not a lot to replace them, it’s next year or never !!! BA re signing looking like a colossal mistake, which most of us knew, other than the knobs in front office!
