Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Possibly….depending I guess what interest he attracts. The less the club have to pay the better and they might be able to nab another player when the inevitable November 1 circus begins.

The only club I could seeing being interested is the Dragons. Surely the Tigers won’t replace Bula with Gutho. Maybe the Dogs might take a punt?

Is it possible he isn’t seen as a first choice fullback by any club? He’s a smart, high effort player with utility value. He might be too slow for fullback but he isn’t slow. There’s still plenty of space for him in the modern game.

Quite possible.

His problem is his age and his body is failing him.

Go through all the clubs. I can only think of maybe one or two where he would be an upgrade and they don’t have someone coming through that is going to be better than him.

Storm- Papenhuyzen, Falago no
Penrith- Edwards no
Roosters- Teddy no
Sharks - Kennedy No
Cowboys - Drinkwater no
Dogs - Tracey - Maybe
Sea eagles- he is behind Turbo but cover for when he gets injured and origin
Knights - Ponga No
Raiders- maybe to mentor their young fullbacks?
Phins- hammer and fuller no
Dragons - Sloan who can’t tackle- big chance
Broncos - Walsh - no chance
Warriors - doubt he will leave Aus but even then rts and charnze so no
Titans- Campbell, kini
Souths - Latrell no
Tigers bula no

realistically I’d say either dogs or dragons likely targets.

Fuller has done his ACL playing for Redcliffe against Norths in the QRL GF. The Phins might be a chance and move Hammer to the Centres.

He is better than at least 7 of them

Bit of a bomb shell there. Will put some fans offside. Apparently Gutho to utility was a serious proposal from Ryles, I thought just reporter scuttlebutt.

I think what is more realistic is the possibility that he might make a move if he can secure a Reg contract. The utility role is temporary for him, and in fact, might impact his contract value externally if he goes down that path. Very hard to demand top coin when you are playing a Connor Watson role at your current club.
