Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

Especially if they’re train and trial contracts . Just because we sign players doesn’t mean they’re all top 30 / dec players .
I wouldn’t be offering any of those 3 top 30 contracts .
And Richo was especially explicit about the fact we will be signing quality to bolster our reserve grade .
And considering the huge amount of players we used this season , if you’re a player looking for a back door back into the nrl , reserve grade for the tigers would be offering a higher chance of actually fulfilling that . I mean look at Rueben Porter this year .

We don’t even know they are going to sign here ..isn’t it just FB bullshit at the moment?

He is hanging around Centrelink ?

Yeah- needs his chicken roll money

i suspect Richo might pass on him then

Seen the size of Richo? Reckon he'll pop down with him & negotiate over a Red Rooster deal.

Richo has lost plenty of weight this year … I suspect he has been eating well and exercising …something I hope Schuster has been doing since he left Manly

Some chains and the Early Kooka to be sure.

It’s time our training got serious Hank.

Who is he going to sign there?

He would be signing up for unemployment benefits, come on if that’s the best he can come up with , then he’s no better than those idiots we had before

I’d consider Hoy and Asiata quality for reserve grade

We’ll see if they sign here first … Im still surprised people are so quick to believe this Facebook stuff which has repeatedly been shown to be made up

Word on the street apparently is interest in Tedesco and Josh Curran! Curran would be a GUN signing but Teddy is to the end! Any truth to this lol

Big yes to Curran. No to tedesco

Just one job to do and one chance at it.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Big yes to Curran. No to tedesco

If Teddy was an option and the price was good we would be nuts to say no. He instantly increases our win count & gets us off the bottom of the ladder. He has a few good years left in his body still.

Josh Curran can negotiate in November. Would be great to get him for 26 and maybe Dogs would let him go early...

Definitely not ordinary like Stephano

I know highlight reels are fit for purpose - ie to showcase the best bits of a player, but what I saw there got me interested. Agree he shows more punch than what Stephano generally showed with us.

 

[prattenhero]

Definite Yes to Curran and a definite No to the ball hog

If you showed just a highlights reel of Stefano it would destroy Hunts video. Think of how many barnstorming runs he has done over the years, the tries he has scored. His highlights far outweigh Hunts. And I'm no fan of Stefano, but his best is very good.

I'm a no to Hunt. He has far too little output minuted wise for the money it would take us to get him and his age suggests there is no more upside to what he is currently producing.

Risky post. I understand if mods choose to ban it.

Terrograph reports…

NRL, Roosters legend offloading $3m family home

Three-time NRL premiership winner and ex-Roosters skipper Jake Friend is selling his stunning $3m family home.

Friend, 34, has undertaken a complete renovation of the inner west home since buying it for $1.6m in June 2019.

“Jake gutted the home and re-did everything, there is a second story addition now and an extension out the back. It’s exceedingly well finished throughout.

…
Anyone from ATO or NRL auditors simply needs to run back through all the Rooster renovations to figure out the game. Hargreaves has four or so, with a recent street record.

I acknowledge how much work it will be to sort through it all, but considering Uncle organises (pays /subsidies?) the tradies there will be records. I don’t know this next part, it’s just an educated guess, It would be super interesting to cross reference all the buyers, including how long they hold for.

100 percent can confirm uncle Nick uses holding companies and property to pay players through cheap rent and free houses. It's been happening since he got involved with the joint. It's smart and something every club should do. If the N.R.L refuse to investigate and get involved then all clubs should set up similar systems for their benefit.

If Hunt was the second best prop they acquired …then I would be happy with that … continue to play him off the bench…

It does my head in that the ATO don’t jump on it. ATO could make such a strong example using this.

The ATO did such a great job targeting those that took out low doc home Loans. They just asked the banks who loaned to all the Low doc customers for a list of people who couldn’t prove their income. Obviously people who take a lot of cash and don’t pay tax on it are great audit targets.

Roosters veterans would be amazing audit targets.

Can somebody show me some highlights of Hunt? The games I've watched he's been ordinary

He has had one great run in the last month, but I suppose one good run in a month is pretty good compared to our guys.
