The Rumours Thread

It does sound like its happening, but nothing is locked in yet.. im sure if we offered him the 7 jersey he'd take it.. but we've had all year to do that and a potential trade with the GC... but we havent.. which makes me think Boyd is in that pool of players that for whatever reason... Flanno just isnt interested...

Yeah I'm on Flanno's side on that one.

Interested in peoples thoughts on Alex Johnston for 2026. Rabbits almost certain to not re-sign him and he's in conversation with Dragons for a 2 year deal 26/27 with an eye to being part of PNG team for 28.

It really looks like the end for Hunt. I hope the door slams you hard in the arse on the way out the door

How old is he ? what will we have coming through the ranks by then, I think it would be a no from me, especially if we have to wait until 2026. We really do need to look at Finau.

Has anyone ever considered that in fact it wasn’t Ben that leaked to the media but someone very close to him which he told?

"It came after Tigers officials claimed he was late to training on two separate occasions.

Miller states that the most recent breach occurred due to extenuating personal matters. It is understood that he still attended the training session.

There are no allegations of any wrongdoing by Miller but it is understood that Police are involved in the matter."

The above from Daily Mail Australia.

One of the Sunday papers had him taking the WTs to court, using Brydens and the ex WT Chair as his representative

Guys the rumour mill is in over drive with Nov 1 fast approaching
The constant that came out of all the scenarios doing the rounds North of the Border this morning is that the Titans are Still Very Much in the Hunt for Hunt .
Surprisingly enough AJs name keeps bobbing up in a likely swap situation , even though he recently re inked a new deal..
There were also "two for one " options being tossed up but purely speculative
The Broncs and Dolphins inquiries have quietened somewhat
Titans are desperate to get him over the line for next Season

Yes, everybody has considered that.

His manager, his wife, a mate or family mbr all possible so he can say “I didn’t tell the press”

Late 2 times, one to do with Police (making him late), seems excessive, has to be more to it.. Should have made him wrestle all his teammates instead..

Nov 1 is a myth stop getting excited

Great. Let's hope Ben and his management can finalise an acceptable offer. Almost anything will be a relief. He's become the equivalent of a burr in our sock. Thankfully there's still enough hype surrounding him that we might jag a good deal.

 

[dragon thomo]

Let's hope Hunt does not get injured for Australia. I just want him gone.

Hoping no one gets injured period.

Brimson has 5 years left on a huge deal.

I think that fact kills the deal with us.

 

[Jubilee]

I watched this guy play reserve grade, he's terrible

I suppose if he were promising they wouldn't be such disciplinarians. But he is a huge human.

His missus, for example? Bcs if he told anyone else, it is still on him. Everyone knows most people can't keep a confidence.

Can still move quick but certainly not the player he was and not a strong player in all facets except scoring tries outside one of the best back line attacks in the last couple years
Lowish money Ok as a back up or depth

He won’t play
