The Rumours Thread

[Victoire]

No Thankyou to English current SL players.
not many flourish or survive out here lately except for maybe Hodgson Bateman and Whitehead in the past 10 years all forwards

Dom Young goes pretty good. George Williams I also thought did well in his time with Canberra, and Jackson Hastings returned from Superleague a better player. I certainly wouldn't rule out England as a place to find decent recruits

 

[Gomarchin]

Great catch under pressure in the final on our line!

Massive play in that semi v Tigers and something I still vividly recall.

 

[redVinme]

Any of 4 clubs really.

Tigers, Dragons,Dogs in the chase and a sharks now likely to join that chase for 2025.

can’t see how a journalist can suggest Dogs are basically in the box seat

Ez. Gus told them to say it.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Sam Burgess probably the best prop I have seen in a while came from the ESL. Won a comp. Jame Graham did not do too bad either.

I'd definitely be looking there, for backs and forwards .......

 

[jak]

Yes good guess by Gus’s mates
Considering they purposely made sure they were filmed talking to him as he arrived from overseas? Of course it makes sense the media were kept in the loop of that meeting

your wrong mate, im sure that was a secret meeting.

 

[Dragon David]

You need to stop knee jerk reacting to every media statement
It is not good for your health

Unfortunately BLM01 I'm a knee jerker from way back or is it a ....?..

Yes, sorry for my over reaction on many of the threads. It might be a good time to take a break from looking at the Forum and see how things are going in a few weeks time??!!

Nah hang around @Dragon David just chill a bit when those bloody Dogs get named on everybody that we are looking at.

In the meantime I will try to follow my own advice…

I'm chilling RedVee. Cheers mate!

Perhaps we should try and lock Matt Feagai up long term and the Dogs will swoop in and take him off our hands with immediate effect.

 

[Lennyb]

Wayne might, if we dont.

Yeh I suppose I did not know about it

I get your counter argument point but Young was young (sorry for the pun) when he came here. I will concede Young though..reluctantly
No one wants Williams now here and did not last long before wanted out
Hastings is an Aussie player who went to England for personal reasons and came back who could of stayed here and played NRL
I am purely talking and generalising about English player recruits and not many survive or last was my point especially backs

Yes quite a lot of the Super League guys that have come and gone were not much chop BLM01. One that the Roosters signed up in 2019-2020 played 11 games and scored zero tries. His name is Ryan Hall. Remember him? 1.84 metres tall (6 feet) and 105kg. Had plenty of wraps but useless in the NRL.

Wayne might, if we dont.

Baffled by the hate for the kid. In his 2 or so years, has had two clutch plays to give us the win.

His brother had some injuries and I hope he succeeds.

Dearden could be on the Roosters radar. They need to get a 5/8th to replace Keary who could leave at the end of 2024

Both good players and much better then some of the higher overpaid crap we have
