Kent referenced that the Tigers are spuiking they have signed a couple of forwards from Super League. Don't get excited, it's Jason Clark and Kane Linnett who is playing edge backrow for Hull.

I'm definitely 100% NOT excited...
Surely they aren't on sheens' radar

Probably Hoops referenced it and got Kent to cover him up

Another kent/hooper shit dribble
 
The turbos aren’t off DCE or vice versa, the playing group are off the Fulton’s trying to get involved in the club because they’re mates with the CEO, they want dessy gone and they want Daly to stand down as captain as they keep trying to contact him and tell him how to run the team, classic case of old boys who think they know the current state of the game and mentality of players.

Hence dessy shutting the door on the higher up’s he was doing what he and the playing group have wanted to do all season, could you imagine Pascoe trying to come into the sheds after you’ve just been pasted, he’d end up getting his head knocked off.

If by some miracle we end up with John Bateman next year then I reckon we all could forgive ourselves for feeling a little hope. Papali'i and Bateman are two of the best backrowers around. Plus Api. Would make our recruiting look borderline genius.

Bateman was good when he played for Canberra but he has fallen off a cliff back in the ESL

Go back and read @king_sirro post after he mentioned Linnet and Clark. He said he was just having a dig…it was just a joke.

Kent did say we are talking to players from the Super League though, but no names were mentioned. Everyone can relax.

Really .. joke?

Peoples comments & reactions don't seem that way.

Then why do people bother posting fake players rumours 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
I reckon Sheens and Benji should sack themselves and appoint Des Hasler as our new premiership winning coach with Madge as his assistant, also a premiership winning coach, what could possibly go wrong.

People didn’t read his follow up post. They just went hysterical and it pulled in a few others who carried it on.

Definitely a joke. Breath easy.9EFFDC16-A8BD-4648-83AE-E478B8BCC833.png

I worry that Bateman is a little bit in the Peachey mould and would struggle behind a weak front row.
 
The Butcher brothers who are both quality forwards in the prime of their careers both don’t make the Roosters top 13 at full strength and I don’t think they are being paid anywhere near what they are worth.
With the Roosters in a financial struggle to retain Suali, would be the perfect time to try and tempt these 2 with good offers.
Zac Lomax also is rumoured to want to play fullback and with a bit of unrest at the Dragons, could also be worth tempting him with the offer to play fullback on better money than he’s currently getting.

I thought we went hard after one of the Butcher boys last year. If they are on the cheap can’t see the Roosters letting them go for cap relief though.

Lomax has another few years on his deal zero chance the Dragons let him go + we technically can’t even start negotiations with him for I think 4yrs.

When players realise they can be getting paid 150k or more extra at another club and be given the starting position they want, it can initiate them to start causing enough unrest to make their current clubs consider releasing them from their contracts.
Although a club like the Roosters would not want to lose local juniors such as the Butcher brothers, they would have to be considered the least valuable of their top 17 in the forwards.
As for Lomax, I believe if Wests Tigers offered him 1 million per season and fullback spot, he’d be the type of person to make enough waves to do whatever it takes to get a release.
He’s a genuine match winner and I believe he’s worth 1 million per season playing fullback for us.
Wests Tigers have been victims of these type of negotiations many times, about time we get on the front foot and making players of value to us feel much more wanted and valued than they are at their current clubs.
I realise it’s against the rules, but it doesn’t seem to stop other clubs.

Morgan Knowles would be even better than Bateman. About to hit his peak, with the speed, size and toughness to make an impact in the NRL. Been the best forward in ESL for the last couple season imo.
