Sam Verrils getting punted already?

He’s busted again, seems to be looking at a long stint out

He’s a good player but made out of glass.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Titans have that other hooker out from an ACL injury last year don’t they? Aaron Booth?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sigh.....

I thought resigning bushy was the reason we were gonna keep em all

Name one coach who hasn’t lost a high profile player.

Sam Verrils getting punted already?

Spoke to Verrill’s relative that I know about an hour ago. Broken collarbone and out for approx 8. Can’t take a trick that kid.

The Sydney Roosters have denied any interest in Parramatta Eels halfback Mitchell Moses.
Moses had the opportunity to join the club four years ago – but rejected a big-money offer.
“We’re not interested,” said Roosters chairman Nick Politis.

“We’re more than happy with Sam Walker as our halfback.
“There has been absolutely no discussion around Mitchell Moses.”
Moses has been offered $5 million over four years at the Eels but is baulking at signing.
The Roosters have a suspicion the club is being used as a leverage to build on Moses’ $1.2 million-a-year offer from the Eels.
“That’s why it’s important we make a statement and confirm he is not part of our plans,” Politis said.

I think everyone figured out it was just the Kent talking out of his arse to stir shite up.

I think it was more Moses management trying to do anything they can to scare the Eels into throwing more $$$ at Moses.

Good on the Roosters hosing it down. They are probably sick of Isaacs games with Suallliii

I expect him to sign with the Roosters before Easter now.

I applaud the club for not upping their offer and sticking to their guns on their valuation of Moses and the length of deal. It's clear if we'd caved and upped our offer he'd have signed on the dotted line by now. I'm glad we're not letting Isaac Moses play us for fools. Whether its every club in the country, or just one club interested in Moses - the offer should remain the same.

Well if he's not good enough for the Roosters, he's not good enough for us... On yer bike Mitch!

 

[Twizzle]

I asked about Hands and Mataele, I was told they havent been given an upgraded contract.

Surely they would need to show what they can do at NRL level to earn a contract upgrade so offering them anything now may be a bit premature.

 

[Twizzle]

btw, f**k Moses

 

[Gazzamatta]

We did it for Jake a couple of years ago Twiz so its a possibility.

Shoulda kicked those goals Mitchy. 3-0 vs 0-3, the natives are getting restless are are slowly giving zero f**ks.

That makes some level of sense, however do most players show what they can do at NRL level before being contracted? How would that work, they don't all get exemptions to play NRL?
I think a club makes a decision based on what they see when on 2nd tier contracts and playing reggies, etc. and then offers NRL contract based on that. Sometimes they get it right and other times they get it wrong.

And for Samuel.

yeah, and learned our lesson, hopefully

although he was on the bench supposedly there to cover Mitch's injury, he really wasn't used very much
