The Rumours Thread

[possm]

With all this supposed cap space, perhaps we need to change tact a little and offer someone like Hass a shorter 2 year contract but on massive money, say 2 million a year, back ended/ front end whatever it takes. That way he is still young enough to make his next move back to QLD. As mentioned previously, a lot of these QLD players become homesick. I would also be signing Cobbo, we need to take a chance and I feel he could be our cheaper version of Latrell Mitchell.

Maybe, but I'm sure he will ont go for a 2-year deal. He is still very young so I'd say , have a word with his manager to find out how much they want over a 3-4 year deal. We have some good forwards coming through, we just need a marquee leader in our forward pack.

Haas won’t come to us, BMM I think is there as a mentor and to help attract Islanders to the club, no one wants Lawrie, Guler is under contract for 2026, Sele also under contract for 2026 I believe, Suli under contract till the end of 2027, Sua under contract till end of2026, at least Klemmer can move on.

How we should be looking to replace these players in the top 30
RFM —> Nick T
Michael Molo —> Jett (although club seems to be favouring Webster, maybe he’s too old for flegg and they’re getting them both game time)
Klemmer —> new signing
Latu —> new signing

The time is now that all of us should rip into the Regime of the Club and not mince any words but be direct and straight forward. WE have had enough and we don't want to take any more of the rubbish that has been dished out to us fans on and off the field for over a decade now.

The Club has to act more purposefully and with more positive agendas and proper planning to be the strong united club that we have been pining for.

Needs to be a march or protest at games too many of us are typing away on a keyboard

The expectations of club management are definitely changing
Results are of vital importance and decisions will be made on results only
Stay put

I won't go to the games at present, suffer at home, downstairs away from the wife.
Last game I departed downstairs after 10 mins. Cathy said to me we used to watch the game together!

Likewise. Haven't been to a game this year. It's stay home and watch on TV and then depends on how long I watch before I switch off with the shits that can last a few days
TBH I never bag the players. My anger is directed toward the club.

 

[Gardenia]

Think it was Pete Badel from the Courier Mail said it was the Roosters.

Hmm that doesn't bode well. May the best club win.

Interesting hope its true

 

[BIG RIG]

I have heard that the club is in advanced talks with Selwyn Cobbo management and that they are confident a deal will be done at $650 000 per year for 2 or 3 years .

 

[Desperate Dragon]

Chammas also saying Dragons are pursuing Cobbo on the Footy Show on 9.
Preference is an 18 months deal initially, starting with a release from the Broncos prior to 30 June.
Not sure how this one will play out.

 

[Murfy]

Club hasn’t tabled Cobbo a deal yet. Will only do so if Cobbo commits to leaving brisbane. Most people think Cobbo is just bluffing to get more money out of the broncos

 

[TheRev]

Time will tell.. the 2nd visit to Sydney (if thats accurate) is what pricked my ears because 1-trip is leverage, 2-trips is usually more serious consideration. But he would need the right setup down here.. no more weekend drive back home.

If the figure of 250k from the Broncs is accurate.. thats an offer that means they dont want him.. complete rookie would get paid that.

Was just saying we shouldn't have them both. Im more than prepared to say bye bye Sloan. Might regret the selwyn thing maybe worth a try at a fair price.

Action is always good to see.

Sloan hasn’t proved his worth in 4 years bye bye.

Cobbo is someone worth the risk if it pays off its a masterstroke

 

[since77]

Geez. If they sign Cobbo I’ll have one tentative foot pointing in the direction of the sack Flanno camp.
Not a front rower. Not a half. Might have “focus” issues. I just don’t see the point.
This club does my head in.

Unbelievably stupid in my opinion. Money should be directed for signing a big motored prop forward. Have our recruitment people got shit for brains?
