The Rumours Thread

We should at least see how Clune goes in the next few weeks under Hook, Elliott and Gentle. If our team has basically improved overall by winning the last two games, Clune's "improvement" will also be seen and from that he might stay with us, I hope.

This.

I know he's mid twenties but he needs to be given more than a dozen games or so. He seemed "ultra " cautious under our previous coach. Many did.

Clune i suspect is also the back up hooker(over Brittin),i wouldn't let him go in a player swap, very valuable to our squad.

For sure, a must keep.

Another reason to keep Clune is the value he adds to the reserves when available. He will be a real asset in the progress of Sullivan, the Feagais, SSE, Wishart and any other young backs who get a run. Sounds like he was even more dominant compared to 2019.

It would be sad to see clune go but for him I’d like him to go if he’d be guaranteed a starting spot at NQL, he deserves it. It would make sense for him personally

Not really. Theres still a possibility of them signing Reynolds, and where would that leave him? Basically the same situation he is in now butm8les away from home, his studies and future business.

If we're really going down the road of player swap with Maguire then why not BB? Or force the Pamthers hand and offer Blacker to the Cows

Paul Crawley has put out an article confirming that St George are after both Andrew Fifita and Josh McGuire as mid yr signings

The article stated that both Andrew Fifita and Josh McGuire created first contact with Hook to show their desire to play at St George

Only thing in the way of potential deals is money but according the Crawley St George have sufficient funds to fit both and it looks likely it will occur soon

I'm happy with this I'm just worried about the length of contract .Two years with maybe a third in our favor maybe.

prefer the rest of this year only and our option for another.

Why would either of them leave then? They both have sizeable deals for next year so there is no way either would risk a short term deal.

I'd be happy with this year and next as long as cows and sharks eat lions share of wages.

Maybe not moose tho. At least until jdb issue sorted.

Hey if it's about preference I'm with you!

Saw the same article this rumour is from, apparently Fifita will only be coming for the rest of the year and McGuire for this year and next

brett read on triple m said that the mcguire deal will happen AFTER hunt is back . that allows clune to replace hunt for the duration and then a swap . Im not sure that mcguire is a good signing given the dollars he is on i suppose cowboys might put some money in to sweeten the deal
I would like us to announce fifita signing on monday so we can get the big fella into the squad asap

If McGuire is coming the it makes the Fifita signing mute. We don’t need them both & McGuire is in much better shape & presents value. Would be sorry to see Clune go but we do have depth in the halves.

There has been a bit made of the link Clune has with Bird. Being mates and teammates from a young age.
I may be over cautious on this but I wouldn’t want Clune being moved on unsettling Bird.

I see it as a opportunity for Clune to cement a regular first grade spot and hopefully he sees it that way too.

The cows halves are ordinary and Clune would easily be first selected imo...

I wouldn’t read much into this, if there’s an opportunity for Clune to play regular first grade & potentially earn more money then Bird would be happy for his mate. Any loyalty to Clune didn’t stop Jack from leaving years ago, it’s just professional sport.

They could do with him right now.
FMD... What a half.

Indeed and a half time score like that between two likely bottom 8 teams, wow...
