Rumours and Stuff

[Eelementary]

Not this year. He’s on zero. Seems to have lost acceleration.

Yeah, he has regressed this year - just like most of the team.

Luckily for us, it's not Arthur's job to fix it, or we'd be in a serious mess.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

As the players say, it’s a business…

That's fine, but they do have a right to see out their contract if they so choose. And that's business too.

Gordon Tallis is one of very few that both knows what is going on and has the balls to call it out.
Teams who don't take risks with TPAs are always going to struggle.

TPAs are a risk for the player, not the club. It’s just that some clubs’ TPAs are more risky than others. Ponga’s TPA with the Knights is indeed technically not the club’s problem, but Ponga’s dad/manager whinging about it will hurt Newcastle’s future ability to use TPAs to reduce player costs under the cap.

This will force them to pay more under cap, squeezing out playing talent. The solution here is to take risks on rookies or injury prone players, and underspend on players outside the top 17, hoping for minimal injuries. This is where the risk lies for the clubs.

What's he worth? It isn't 650k a season

Its a pretty big risk for the club if someone opens their mouth.
The Rorters know how to keep things tight.
12pts and $1 million fine sounds like a pretty fair risk for the club.
2016 says hi.

thats similar money to Matto

Try harder lad!
Got it?

Sorted.

So if you go back to my comments. I said telling the players they won’t play NRL again for Parra. Well honour the contract however they are free to find a new club.

I wasn’t suggesting taking them behind the shed and shooting them.

Is this why we haven't seen MA in first grade yet?

Boods probably won't be physically ready till 2025/2]26

Agreed - I give it two weeks until BA picks him

 

[the phantom menace]

Of those six, is it only Lynn, Arthur and Keir that aren't injured for the season?

I bet every single one of their TPAs and other player incentives are above board in one way or another. An introduction to a property investor who sells houses for below market rate is just one of the perks of signing for unders with a well connected club. The Cowboys got away with it ffs. As if the Roosters won’t.

Won’t stop daddy picking him though.

BAs gotta go

 

[Eel2reel]

BAs gotta go

We're dead set run like a country under 9s team.

 

[eels_fan]

Backflip

Haha

poor Goosters….

[jk13]

To b fair to Russell, I thought penisisi never gave him good ball to score

 

[King-Gutho94]

Gee its brave backflipping on Uncle Nick who can hold a grudge.

GC better be careful i reckon i know where the Roosters may be heading to get there next batch of Talent as a bit of revenge.

Palm Beach Currumbin may get a influx of roosters spotters shortly.
