Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Stevec]

The Roosters make me sick !
Unlike the Storm who find hidden talent and develop it !
No the Rorters simply attract the top names in the game !
2yesrs ago they get Brandon Smith at the time the hottest one going around
1 year ago they get Dom Young at the time the hottest winger going around and now
They of course get DAVID FAFITA !
Uncle Nick persuasive .I wonder whether attractive deals on eastern suburbs real estate
has something to do with it
This method doesn't require eagle eye talent scouts just the usual uneven playing field !

I agree that his most like destination if not staying at the Roosters is Union.

However, I could see him staying in league and playing for another team. Many would of also said Pearce would never leave Roosters, but they upgraded to a shiny new toy even though he was going well so he left.

No Rugby club is gonna pay huge $$ for an untried and untested in Union 29yo with fairly recent head issues and absolutely no pre determined position.
Centre..never played there...no 7 ..nup...Hes just a prospect...
at 29 not worth the risk
..and it sure wont be the wanabees who have been burnt by Suali
Im calling the Rugby thing for total BS
..but theres a real possibility Uncle Nick can still squeeze him into the cap with Fifita..maybe sharing that view over Bondi beach in a 2br apartment...and seperate Ford Mustangs..and..

I don’t think Rudolf is a realistic signing for us, not sure about Sitili he is contracted with them until 2027 so I imagine he must be involved somehow in their plans. If Sharks are gonna lose middles I reckon Oregon Kafusi and Royce Hunt are the ones on the outer. Rudolf and AFB are their starters and Hazleton and Hamlin-Uele I see as their bench props.

I would take both Hunt and Kafusi if I could get them , remove Twally and Seyfarts and Bud plus 7 from our poor performing reserve grade , get the cash buy these 2 then chase a few better options than our current reserve grade players , we need reserve grade to be top 8 every year to bring through top liners to first grade , I know it sounds easy , but that’s what we need

And a leader.... someone to back Api on the field and Benji off the field... Galvin needs more time.... just hope Api sticks around a bit longer... next year is his last year officially with us....

He is getting an apartment in call massage therapist dental car petrol and grocery clothes shoes and one other thing can not remember the other thing my mate was telling me

This a blight on the game.

Legalised cheating

Doesnt stop at the NRL. Tax season is upon us.

Tyrone Sloan is off contract at Dragons and commencing discussions to stay. He has improved remarkably under Flanagan both on-field and with his attitude. He admitted he thought he was better than he was so it is really good to know he has matured as a player. Reported on Win 4 news.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

The whole team have improved under Flanagan begin again. What are you saying...swap with Bula?

I would be willing to take a punt on Kafusi, not sure on Hunt. If Hunt did come I would be willing to take a chance but I just don’t think he would be a priority.

Let’s think about how the Roosters can afford Fifita next year ?
They have the following off their books next year.

Manu
Keary
Wearea Hargreaves
Suaalii

There should be more signings coming for the Roosters.

I call that good Cap Management

[AmericanHistoryX]

Look at those names? How did they afford them all? All big name players..

 

[tiger05premier]

I said this the other and at the time I was told he is off to the Roosters was also told his total package is 1.2 million a year

No justice in the Cap

There is definitely only 800k in cap used and 400k on cash

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And Fifita now... last year that winger from Newcastle - you see, the thing is, when Roosters buy, they buy big... no has potential players.... and it fits perfectly into the cap...they do not buy no names...have you noticed this??

He is a real talent

Love watching him play

Unfortunately even if we did want him we really don't need him as we have Bula and neither would settle for wing

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Great. Lets move on. Back on track... love the thought though... and whilst I have you... you prefer Bula or Sloan...??

Do you think Penrith could be interested in Twal and Seyfarth if we package them? We have form, Garner is doing a great job off the bench for Panthers.
We seem to be signing every player who scores 2 tries against us and it’s not working?

The people we want, we are not getting. I.e. Martin or Leota.
Garner or Eisenhuth could be an idea. Lets face it though, who from Penrith has come here and done well?

Tupou
Tom Payne? (got the name wrong, old prop from ages ago..)

The only player that has performed here from Penrith has been Api K.
Flip it. Most Parramatta forwards have done better here. Likewise Easts have gone OK here.

There are key gaps in our training. Lets hire players from teams that train to fill those gaps till we sort our training problem out.

<controversial>
Swap Marshall for Flanagan!
