The Rumours Thread

[getsmarty]

Be interesting to see if it leaks out....

There was a story recently in Buzz Rothfield’s Saint, Sinner, Shoosh concerning a fall out between a prominent player & the Captain of a high profile team that was in the top 8.
The rumour said they would not be in the same team 2025.

No idea who or why, but Maybe you can possibly join some dots.

If we have signed Lodge like some say we have we probably can’t get May. If we have 3 spots left and 2 are going to Gutho and Lodge that leaves 1 spot remaining for a half replacement. Would probably have to release someone else from our top 30 to make a play for him. Would rather May over Lodge 100%

That’s the thing depending on what he’s done. But you’d think if it was really bad the media would already know about it. If it was for doing drugs for example we already signed Val Holmes who was in trouble before with his social media post with a bag of cocaine in his mouth. We are signing Matt Lodge apparently and he’s also had his problems

Reading between the lines and it seems like an attitude issue. He’s said himself that some weeks he can’t be bothered. That’s why the roosters are successful, got to set very high standards. You can’t be bothered sometimes, there’s the door sunshine

Newcastle signs the other Thompson twin. No not the 1980s musical duo.

That is a particular problem bcs these guys constantly have women throwing themselves at them. To choose to cuckold your team mate demonstrates that you are someone who is very selfish, feels contempt for others and likes to make trouble.

The hardest of all hard passes on this clown.

YES PLEASE release someone. Maybe have to stop being so nice and tell certain players they are best to go elsewhere

Yah I think the consequence of signing gutho/holmes is a lot of our cash has been used up, even though tbf Lodge v RCG would be a 400k saving, and Atkinson v Hunt would be another 400k saving.. so there is some cash there.. but yes we would have to open up a Top30 forward slot as well.. Lawrie is the obvious one to go.. but he is like a painful thorn in our side.. we get 0 back if we offload him.

Very true redv13, if you cant be bothered at the Roosters with all their perks and lerks, plus he was on $950k, how are you all of a sudden going to be bothered at any other club. No way to this guy, and yes we are getting Lodge but he wont be on the coin this fool is, plus he wasnt playing too bad towards the end of the season.

Cant wait to find out whats happened here...

The rorters have a bad habit of doing that - just ask young Kyle Flanagan who was going great guns over Bondi way .

Unfortunately Sam Walker had appeared on the scene so out came the axe and Kyle was forced to leave , with which I’am sure was a huge loss of confidence .

Plus the Dogs didn't do him any favours either Gareth.

How many times have we now heard " the decision the board made was not taken lightly" in every player that has been released. For JAC to rock up with his multitude of legal personnel claiming he still doesn't know how it got into his system, please spare me. It was a done deal even before he walked into the meeting. So now his manager was still trying to demand top dollar for him, and from Flanno who obviously told him to piss off. If there was ever a case of oh shit what have I done, this is it. Suck it up JAC, you blew it mate, show a little remorse admit your guilt and be humble. Moreso be a man.

We don't need a player like him flanno is trying to remove players that are damaging the club and brand .

Addo-Carr is able to bring the ball back. Maybe Sloan could study his style. Addo-Carr is 184cm and 88kg. Sloan is 185cm and 84kg.

You’d like to think so but you need to have the mind & body prepared for contact & I’m not sure Sloan has it.
It could change after a tough pre season which was mooted last year before he injured his hand.
