Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Our best performances have been when we have lots of second phase and play an expansive style of football. Here's a tip - it wasn't under Maguire.

You were right about Maguire, boss.
He was no good.

Brooks, no good either.
Punt.

Kade Dykes knocks back rivals and signs 2 year deal to remain at the Sharks.

Dave Riccio exclusive.

Madden is putting a very strong case to be be the starting 7 I really hope we do not loose him.

I don't want to lose Madden either. I read his comments yesterday and he seemed quite positive towards the club. An apprenticeship under Sheens will be the making of him. He's a good talent.

Can’t see where he can get a game in that backline , will have to wait at lease two years

Maddens dreaming if he thinks he can leave the tigers and get a gig with another team , he will be in the same position as he is now,

Everything at the right price. From what I read, he is on a stellar contract at the Knights. He would have to come heavily subsidised.

They may chip in for next year but after that he's off contract.

Not if we swapped Brooks for him.

Logically, why would any player go to the Knights. The sheer desperation on this forum is amusing. The Knights' coach is Maguire lite and appears to be on borrowed time. They've guaranteed him his role until end of year.

I thought you couldn’t extend a player and pay him less for the remainder of his current contract? I remember Nathan cleary tried to sign a new contract that was less than his current deal and it got knocked back?

Thought that's what the rorters do

That's what I thought also. There has been a few examples in the past of players offering to take a pay cut in order to help clubs recruit or retain certain players. Each time I hear that it is against NRL rules to do so.

In his case to test himself (although I doubt it is in him) under the tutelage of the greatest halfback of modern times.
A guy who says that he believes in him and could unlock his game … although personally I doubt it.

As reported by my guy @Cobarcats

Making waves 📰

Sign him up

Probably didn't like the jersey publicity

I wouldn't mind their fullback/centre Koula if he could get out of his deal.

Too colourful and gaudy.

The difference with this one and Papali'i may well be that by all reports Kelma hasn't has a signed contract registered with the NRL, as per @Cobarcats sneaky little sleuthing and Manly's lack of any form of announcement. Whereas Isaiah is signed, sealed and delivered.

Two very different backflip scenarios.

11. Tuilagi (on current form)
12. Papali'i

Oh, goodness, that's better.

 

[weststigerman]

I'd take Tuilagi but not if it means it puts any extra risk on getting Papali'i.
