The Rumours Thread

Yep that was a disgracefully bombed try. Idiotic play by a veteran who should know better. We need smarter players than that.

JDB aint selfish or dumb with ball in hand. Obviously you guys like to pull out his few negatives without adding the positives. Been plenty of those this and last season.

Nice info re Hunt again to the media................we are no doubt trying to show a few pieces of the chess game will be with us post 2025

I mean how good is that for this forum

its like 4th July !!!!!!! lol

 

[baggygreen man]

I see Souths are now hunting JDB, massive mistake if we lose him.

 

[baggygreen man]

will be with us post 2025

 

[musso]

We need an SOO-level prop. To lead our pack of forwards.

Tino or Hass are the only SOO level props I'd consider and they are no chance

 

[baggygreen man]

2 juniors earmarked

I expect one will be King-Togia, no play maker. The other out of Ashton Ward and Nick Quinn is my guess given the time line, both play makers.

 

[baggygreen man]

someone widdop'esque.

Please!

 

[baggygreen man]

He said there isn’t much quality on the market

On our market? How about the English market then. Surely some halves talent over there that wanna crack at the NRL

 

[Illusion]

Could be a Weyman type recruitment. If we can’t get this done something stinks about us.

Yep big signing coming Hayne released we have been after him for years ......

You're just a big tease!

I hope that's not just your opinion but is well backed by the best rumour and speculation the internet can provide.

Not even a Facebook source?

Nothing?

I know it gets mentioned about not much being available in the market place, but in the NRL players become available regardless of their contract status on a very regular basis.
Seems to be more and more noise every day that Brandon Smith is on very shaky ground at the Roosters.
If they do want to move him on, I think they realise they will need to chip in a fair bit of coin for 2025 for it to happen.
If he is struggling with the lifestyle in Sydney, it it possible that a place like Wollongong would suit him better??
I really believe the Dragons might have a crack at him if the Roosters do set him free.

I hope not

I hope not

He will improve our squad. People happy to stick with solely our juniors but we don’t have a hooker coming through. Mulheisen was a flop. Not many available out there. He would be looking for a new opportunity and a clause can be justifiably in his contract about behaviours.

H Finau I think is a good prospect, but yes do agree with your thoughts.

Can't you purchase coke in Wollongong? (not cola)

Seriously - you may be right but his attitude is an issue

He is trading on his past "Cheese" factor not not his continual performances.

But Suli turned around after multiple clubs and attitude issues.

Nah - I think it's just too desperate, Desperate D

If the cheese arrived I’m sure he would leave.

 

[Gareth67]

A definite NO to Smith , carries far too much baggage for my liking . Should he be released from the Rorters he will be demanding big dollars and in my opinion simply is not worth it .

No thanks, Smith has huge issues off field that are starting to surface in the media and it’s no surprise that his form has been down this year.

 

[Dragon David]

The Roosters don't normally buy a dud but I think they realise that Smithy is one. He replaced Jake Friend who was a dyed in the wool one club Roosters die hard for 14 years. Smithy nowhere the person nor the player that the Roosters might have thought he would be.
