Rumours and Stuff

[RL The greatest game]

Who could get get Serbian citizenship like Steven Seagal and start making action movies.

He could also get an expenses paid trip to Benidorm Spain in January if he signed for Castleford or Oldham if they are in Super League next season along with the trip to South of France to play the Catalans Dragons in Super League.

He’s not first choice

He was when he was given this contract.

AND can you provide evidence of anyone in the outside backs on $1.5m?

He wasn’t playing in the outside backs when he signed his current deal, he was playing fullback, every single week.

This is the clubs biggest problem , beyond belief we have 29/30 spots taken for next year so hopefully lane , matterson, hands and simmonson are gone otherwise we have 1 spot left for next year, anyone who defends Mon needs a dose of reality

If it’s good enough for Gould it’s good enough for MON.

 

[Delboy]

If it’s good enough for Gould it’s good enough for MON.

What does that mean, what does Gould have to do with our club’s issues ?
You don’t have to make a comment about every post, but you do for some reason.

So…. If things go our way. We have 5 spots open for FY26. And a shitload of cash, and cap.

Dare I say despite there being no “obvious” candidates, we may actually be in an incredible position.

Some will defend the club no matter the argument or reason.

It's shame that we are competing with Mal and his Bears.

I think with figures being bandied about and if all 5 players move on we have well in excess $2.5 m to spend , we potentially are in an incredible position , let's hope the hierarchy make use of these funds

Please name me any player in the NRL in the outside backs being paid $1.5m? That’s triple. Either admit there isn’t one or that you have an exaggeration problem and I won’t put you on the unofficial shit list for members.

Because you keep making stupid statements, as though you know better than the bloke doing the job.

Signing players and then letting them go isn’t the problem you think it is. Penrith won the comp while supposedly paying RCG and Blake to play for us. The Dogs also move players on while under contract.

If you disagree, by all means reply (it’s what this place is for). But don’t shoot the messenger if you don’t like the message, or just plain don’t understand. If you need clarification just ask and don’t follow it with bullshit about ‘needing to make a comment’. I was addressing your comment, which you also didn’t need to make.

I didn’t say the best outside backs, I said the best players. And Sloane isn’t on $1.5M so your point is irrelevant. $500k would be pretty standard for an NRL fuse choice winger. When he signed his current deal he wasn’t even playing wing, he was playing fullback.

 

[Grigor]

Currently 92 players who are top 30 are unsigned at all club's combined, sadly none are much chop and this is why ryles is waiting for the inevitable problems at certain clubs to buy quality players

For the final time — I’m not arguing that he wasn’t worth $500k when he was playing fullback. I’m saying that right now, as a winger, he isn’t worth that figure, especially considering he’s no longer first choice and has been dropped multiple times this season.

Now, go ahead and tell me who the best player on $1.5 million is. This is your last shot, so be careful or I will ignore you until season 2026 and I know you don’t want that.

Just reposting my post from the Dyl thread:

Well, if we are giving out NRL experience to guys in the future and the future is now, then Samrani's pick is justified.

He is our Marata - half edge, half centre and obviously Ryles sees something in him or he is a gr8 trainer so have to give him experience NOW.

Say come next year, we haven't picked up a centre and Bailey has left and Will or Russell get's suspended, Samrani will fill the centre role.

So it's March 2026 but NOW.

Or do you prefer Lomax at centre and Tago or Dunster on the wing?

Marata is twice the player. Samrani is huge effort,great attitude but his lateral movement is poor and he hasn't got the explosive power of Marata.
Samrani to me is a great no 18/19 to have. With injuries he get 15-20 games OFF BENCH

 

[hindy111]

Tago and dunster are not contracted beyond this year

Fairly sure J.Tago was given a 2yr deal last year

Nobody. A few at 1.3
With endorsements tpas etc then probably Nathan and Ponga. Possibly H.Grant.

Thanks buddy. There is evidence of our friend having an exaggeration problem when it suits him and understating amounts on other occasions when it doesn’t. He’s a troll and this is another example of it. If he comes up with another troll type response I’m ignoring the merkin until round 1 season 2026.

 

[Angry_eel]

Please do Ryan.

The exchange rate might be shit.

But you can go and have your once a month RDO tanning it up in places like Spain, Portugal, Greece, Croatia.

He's also closer to Rome.

Make him wait till Orthodox Easter at least, FFS!

Could I just get a bullet point recap on what is being discussed today (under 50 words thanks). I'll then chime in with my opinions.
