The Rumours Thread

I did think Corey 850 was sad

So is an even $1mill for Hunt.

 

[baggygreen man]

Ramsey - 185cm and 82kg

Tend to agree he needs to bulk up going forward. Having said that Papa is a flyweight too. Has not stopped him being a future superstar. Sure helps a player gain a reputation sooner when you are in a champion side. Reckon that is where Ramsey has been unfortunate.

Hunt plays with the effort of a man on big money at least. He broke his leg and arm in one season. Corey just broke the bank and our hearts.

 

[baggygreen man]

It's a shame but that's what happens being a big nursery. There should be more avenues so players aren't lost to NRL.

A good advertisement for The Saints to go back as a stand alone club.

How did Suli play last nite in a side thrashed by this year's premiers. Reading Turbo was kept quiet as a church mouse.

Suli didn't get any time on the field, so he didn't have much impact on the game, but at least he was error free!

Morgan Harper seemed to have an unhappy game last night IMO , not sure why he is there instead of Suli , unless it’s not Sulis side field ?

 

[Adolf_Spritzer]

Saw in the Australian they quoted Duges was on 950
not sure if that was accurate , but it is insane

I did think Corey 850 was sad

but this sounds sadder

player payments are insane

He just wanted to be told he's an 'international'

 

[George Dragon]

Thanks @George Dragon, always great to get your direct insights into these youngsters. In saying that, any comment on Ben Lavender?

Decent centre not a standout, would put him in the SSE class

Does he have Saab-like pace as well?

As I said very Saab like, pace would be similar at same age.

They are only just out of nappies so doubt they have specialised as yet. Griffin needed to throw the forgotten twin into centre once our season was done. Instead he persisted with the slow poke Bird who cant even hold a football long enuff to do anything with it.

Bit hard to pick a kid out injured and not even in the bubble.

Harper’s mistakes led directly to Melbourne scoring no less than 5 times. 2 dropped balls, one stripping and 2 missed tackles.

He certainly was a liability last night. He is also a bit mingy as he doesn't feed Saab much ball.

No Mjab, the clubs are insane for paying it!

Suli will fill the left centre position....

If Ramsey gets a run outside Suli at some stage next year I'm sure we will start to see him in more space.

Agree.
The defence will have to mark up on Suli because of his blockbusting running which should give the winger more room. Having the fullback floating around there as well will be a bonus.
Compare Suli with ball in hand to Beale & Bird.

 

[Trifili13]

Compare Suli with ball in hand to Beale & Bird.

Any player that is able to keep ball in hand is an upgrade on some of our existing players given the amount of balls we drop

why do people keep saying this crap about Hunt being on a million dollars? It is incorrect.

What are the facts of his contract?

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Foxsports over time have reported conflicting amounts for Ben Hunt's contract. Initially it was $6 million over 6 years, which much later reports changed to $6 million over 5 years. Not sure which if any is correct, but these have his pay as $1 million to $1.2 million per year.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Kikau is a big yes for me.

Add him with the kids after a full year, a decent hooker and a prop. We would be at the pointy end of the comp.
