The Rumours Thread

[dungay dragon]

As soon as a player makes any excuses not to join such as travel or money then that should be the end of discussions. The club shows interest and has initial talks to see how the person's character is and enthusiasm to join. Then if they sense any knockbacks just walk away. The ex-Liverpool coach does that and he has built an amazing squad.

I would be saying goodbye to Gutho and JAC if they are stalling. Especially being unwanted at their clubs. Seems like they did this to RCG and Aladin so I am all for this type of approach. No need to be begging players to join the club as you will get low key effort.

Simply fixed Slippery
Make a genuine offer to Player A
Also stipulate an Expiry date of the Offer . Say 7-14 days ..
Offer off the table if no interest and or stalling after that time
You may lose some that you were chasing but you are showing that u mean business at the same time ..
Player managers will then realise that they cant dick us around like they are now...

PNG will never win one.

In fact it will probably fold after we stop propping it up or if Dutton wins the next election it might never get off the ground.

Just saw that Bennett is interested in a player swap at Newcastle,, Hastings for illness.. have no idea what Wayne is thinking BUT wasn't it like a week ago that it was rumoured we were after illias as back up half.... anyone know if we are/ were interested in him or was it just pure speculation

Sounds like speculation it was only a few weeks back Bennett wanted to keep Illias.
