Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Smellmyfinger]

JAC will b returning to concord.My source is a rabid tigers fan who is related to MT his manager & he’s emphatic that the deal is done.

Hope your right and the Johnston re-signing seals it

Wouldn’t mind getting him as well, if we can afford it.

NRL announcing that Johnston has just resigned with the Bunnies.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

You are amazing.

Any info from the trusted source who will be going to the storm to replace him?

Yep - you aren't easy to handle but I'm getting better at it.

Nothing from this guy although I initially heard from a source heavily involved with the Balmain juniors that it was Talau but that doesn’t seem to b the case.I would find it surprising if melb were interested in a slug like Talau.

I reckon Talau has some upside but he is going to struggle to make the team for a while. Why do we have to do a swap ? That is between JAC and the storm.

I read NRL.com that Madge turned down the JAC for Nofo swap, not sure if it was a reality but not happening thank Christ.

No necessity for us to do a swap with storm although they r savvy enough to have attempted to lure Nofa to melb.I can’t imagine a ruthless club like the storm would b interested in any of our numerous sluggish backs

Would b a zero sum result if we were to b so insane as to release Nofa.Our supreme back isn’t leaving concord anytime soon I hope.

Madge says Nofa leaving is no chance

Pretty sure that Melbourne never asked for nofo...it was just a throwaway "what if" from a poster....he pondered why the two clubs can't just do that?...doesn't take much to start a stampede around here.

 

[Choiboi]

I believe so, now it's doing the rounds on all the 'news' sites

When Matterson left WT, Parra gave us sweet f##k all,Melbourne should expect the same outcome from whoever signs JAC, as the release is primarily between the player and his club rather than a third party.

 

[Shredder]

Ill say it again: Addo Carr is still contracted for next year. Melbourne need to release him and they set the conditions.

Matterson was a cancer to this club and releasing him quick smart was a good result.

JAC is still showing professionalism in the way he plays.

JAC told the club prior to the start of this season he wanted out. They agreed to release him next year. This is not a dog act like Matterson. We definitely don't have to work out a trade deal.

If we want him next season we do. They have his contract.

Interesting. They've retained the roster size at 30 but cut the cap by 10%. I remember Benji stating that the roster being cut was a reason the club couldn't retain him but that wasn't factual.

I get this but it'd be a real dog act. JAC came up with an agreement with his club to stay for this year and then he was free to leave. Josh has also stated openly this is his last year at the Storm.

The Storm can ask for whatever they want and possibly retain him via contract law but this would end really badly for them.

We don't have to give up anything unless it suits us.
