Rumours and Stuff

[Stevie]

Seems like Brandon Smith won't be offered another contract at the Roosters. Might be worthwhile trying to see if the Roosters will let him go early if we free up Gutho's money.
Seems to be a bit of a wildcard with his attitude and off field behaviour isn't the greatest, but would form a good combo with Hands and the young 9's we bring through. Can start at 9 and then move to 13 later in games.

He’s a peanut and not worth anywhere near the bucks he is on. Geez Roosters got that one wrong.

Are you saying 'stiff cheese'?

This is so West Tigers.


TIGERS OFFER SULLIVAN $900,000 TO LEAVE CLUB


The Tigers are reportedly willing to give halfback Jayden Sullivan $900,000 to leave the club just one year into his four year deal with the club. The Daily Telegraph reported the Tigers are prepared to give Sullivan a monster pay out from his $2.4 million contract in order to free up salary cap space. Sullivan joined the Tigers on a four-year deal to be the club’s halfback, but played just eight games last season and lost all but one of the games he played in.

unbelievable

Agreed - I dont see us going out to buy a replacement middle forward for Reg.
The average of 53 mins per game that he has played over the last 5 years can be covered by increasing the minutes of any number of middle forwards, including Paulo.

With the same impact? As enthused as I am with the changes, the loss of RCG, plus organisation of defense* should Gutho go, are things I’m keen to see how we compensate for.
*as rubbish as it was

Potentially better impact, though it depends if RCG’s cap space is used to improve the team this year or in future years.

They’ll cover his impact by hopefully covering more ground in defence than he did.

There is a reason why Melbourne let these blokes like Smith & Addo-Carr go.

Its not to do with football ability.

Both of them have come to Sydney and have been found wanting with professionalism & off-field problems.

I think it was money reasons. Storm couldn’t match the Bulldogs offer and they couldn’t justify having Smith on big money when they already have the superior hooker in Grant.

He and Addo Carr will have some wild parties if they both got together....

Dylan Brown and Shaun Lane would probably enjoy it too.

That is the question. It’s very exciting!

With the number of players cut from the roster and limited signings, still seems strange that the club is waiting for Gutho to move on, not sure the cap has been handled that well previously.

Still have only about 25 players signed in top 30 and need 28 by start of matches. More signings to come.

St George-Illawarra have officially tabled a three-year offer worth an estimated $2.5 million for Eels captain Clint Gutherson.
The formal offer has eventuated after the Dragons secured a medical report on the talented fullback.

[eels_fan]

So they’ve offered him essentially equal/more than what we were paying him, for another 3 years.

that’s an almighty risk, but best of luck to Gutho, he’ll get the $$$ regardless but I can’t see him playing fullback in 2026, let alone 2027

 

[Glenneel]

I don’t see the issue here.
The club tried to keep Mahoney. By reports he was close to re-signing until the Dogs came in with a bigger offer.

Gutho has won lotto with that deal.

What's that on average 830k a season for the next 3 years.

Lol seriously thats a Watmough-esque deal.

To be fair if he stays fit and on the field, he will be invaluable to the DragQueens. He is the exact type of player they need.

If they can keep Gutho, Cook and Holmes motivated they'll be more than competitive.
