Signed & Unsigned Players for next season

[Ben]

...Manly made a belated two-year offer to another winger, the prolific Scott Donald, yesterday.

"We have an expression of interest from Leeds so there are a few things to consider," said Donald's agent, Darryl Mather.

Another of Mather's clients, Penrith forward Jesse Royal, has signed with Newcastle.
Dragon Mark Riddell was the other kicker fined this week for running foul of the shot clock.

Referees coach Robert Finch said last night he had given his charges no specific instructions on changes to interpretations in light of round 20's officiating controversies.

"We've obviously curbed the dissent but not in a heavy-handed way initially," Finch said. "I don't want to come in and . . . the first bloke who says, 'boo', you put him in the bin."

And now the all important question:

Who the f*** is Jesse Royal?

 

[keeney]

hahahahahaha

 

[Ben]

i remember reading something a while back when i think he was playing in some junior competition in new zealand. It mentioned that that he was a lock forward and had the tag 'exciting' next to him...however i could be mistaken for another person?

 

[Matt23]

Brad Tighe - for a further 3 years

Blake Mueller - 1 year

 

[Terminator]

Jesse Royal, who would have a name like that :roll:

 

[General Knight]

How much did we sign Jesse Royal and Kirk Reynolson for?

 

[Terminator]

Kirk for 250 a year, for 4 years, Royal who knows, if Penrith dont want him he merkin be that good.

 

[General Knight]

Isnt Royal injured this year or something cause i went to the panthers site and theres nothing about him.

 

[Matt23]

You might need to visit the st marys cougars site or something to find any info on him

 

[General Knight]

Do u know of a link to the cougars site?

 

[roopy]

So we currently have;

Backs - Young, Hughes, Matt Gidley, Hall, Quinn, Carmont, Riley Brown, Tighe, Tremain-Cannon

We can still sign Seage, Spiteri, Salkeld, Richardson

Halves - Johns, Witt, Kidley, Tighe

We can still sign Dorn and Fitzgerald

Forwards - Perry, Simpson, Abraham, Newton, Reynoldson, Price, Lowrie, Royal, Woolnough, Matt Kennedy, Mueller, Worth, Tilse, Tolar, Hancock, Mercer

We can still sign Rudder, Tanner, White, Jaques, Bartlett, McLoughlin, Cox

 

[antonius]

I'm sure we've signed Seage for two years already Roopy. If we haven't got Salkeld and Spiteri for next year then we bloody well should have. I don't think Hancock has actually signed yet has he? Last I heard they were waiting on a reply to their offer.

 

[thuganomics]

Yep We signed Seage when We signed Carmont.
In the Sundays paper, it said that Jesse Royal really looks the goods and that he will most likley play 1st grade next year. Looking Foward to seeing how he goes.

 

[Terminator]

Who will be dropped do you think to make way for him?

 

[thuganomics]

No not like a fulltime spot, but maybe when Injuries and Origin comes along.

 

[keeney]

jesse royal is a big 2nd rower? like 100+ kg's, cna someone fill me in thats the inpression ive gotten

 

[thuganomics]

I read in the Sun Herald he was a big Front Rower.

 

[keeney]

thats good news, im looking forward to seeing him play

 

[General Knight]

Yeah, hopefully we can have our very own Sonny-Bill Williams!
