Rumours and Stuff

I never, ever take the Lurker's post seriously, but this seems like a can't miss tip, right?

One club has got itself in such a financial mess with the salary cap that it's hard to see how they could possibly sign another player before the 2016 season starts.

In fact, they will be busy offloading players.

Their plight is the talk of player agents and CEOs throughout the game and is a real worry for the club and the NRL.

It will all come out in the wash very soon but player managers are steering their clients well clear of the joint for now.


Any guesses as to which club? If the right player were to come available, our pockets are still very deep for 2017, even more so for 2018.

Hope it's not us... we've got something like 42 decent enough players in our "squad", the depth seems much better than I've ever remembered it.

I don't get it? Is this an old post by the Lurker (given that he is talking about possible signings before the start of the 2016 season?)

Ahh. Given that the headline to the article is 'Titans struggling with too much of a good thing' suggests that the Lurker's attempt at keeping the identity of the club under wraps won't last too long.

Fancy the Titans having cap trouble... after paying massive overs for the under-performing former rep-level player - the Instagram Daddy himself, Jarryd Hayne?

Lol, who would have though that signing him on millions would have f**ked their squad balance and cap management, and sent other players (and their managers) packing? Thank goodness we're not stuck with the lazy overpaid contract-wleching merkin!
