Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

No, he has proven himself to be a massive idiot.

Has had chances to come back and has always looked to be anywhere but here.

Yeah, hes a clown.

Wonder what would've happened if he owned up to his actions?

We've seen how it goes with other players.
Stood down, fine an apology video.
All the denial and whatnot, made it a lot worse it appears.

 

[Fish88]

Surely if we had May and Hunt we ain’t getting bullied

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I’m talking about what the club is putting out there not a rumour that’s been denied by everyone.

Oh, if its what the club are putting out there then can you link me to their statement that said they were doing it because he didn't gel properly with them.

 

[Buttface]

Josh Addo-Carr yes or no?

No.

 

[derekderekson]

Another one I heard he didn’t get along with senior players … Radley and Tedesco’s names were thrown up

Who knows 🤷‍♂️

Or just made up rumors!

I think it’s more likely he just wants more money and Roosters pissed.

 

[rugbygoated]

Why would the Roosters let May go?
1. Performance (he was poor for samoa but great all year)
2. To clear up money for a signing in a position they need (they have heaps of great forwards like leniu, collins, whyte, etc.)
3. Off field (unlikely given angus crichton denied it)
4. Training lack of effort
5. Some other reason?

Listen to the Bloke in a Bar podcast that came out today they talk about it there.

Taylan is a POS. Please no, don't care how talented he is, we should be that desperate

If a player has done their time and is a talent, sign them up.

Id even have a sniff around Manase in a couple of years...

People should be given the chance to redeem themselves after their penance.

 

[Kelce68]

You mean:
St George who released Jack Bird, etc.
Parramatta who have released a stack of players to free up cap space...
Easts who are loosing a stack of players (guessing this is May related, so they won't count).
Brisbane who may be dumping Ezra Mam for drink driving??

We are not cashed up. We honestly need to manage our cap better.
I like what the other teams are seeming to do. Find gun players and pay to get the gun in the team.

We have money to spend.

Richardson has said as much point blank. Several times.

'I'd be a very dangerous man in the market....' or something to that effect.

Wait do you seriously think the Roosters are telling their side through Bloke in a Bar?

 

[Merlot]

its a swift change of direction the roosters took, this year he was upgraded n resigned for 2 more years,now its, get out,we got the inside running on Dogs St g. surely we can squeeze the roosters to unload their burden

The thing is, is he truly remorseful? And a leopard doesn't change its spots. We don't want to add bad off field culture to the bad on field and training culture

I would love to get kobe hetherington. Really suits the 13 role and can play a number of positions. Also, he's only 25 and hasn't really hit his peak but has shown signs he could be an origin player

 

[Moh]

As mentioned by a few, the narrative of the Roosters offloading T. May pisses me off - as opposed to the crap we get cutting players.

Anyway, another positive of having Luai - he is absolutely a player other players want to play with. So here's hoping he's a draw for one or two of the May's.

 

[Jimmy]

Snagging may would make me feel a lot better about Stefs departure, Hunt is not enough on his own

Wouldn't surprise if someone has offered him more and he's asked for a release.

 

[tigermate]

They’re saying he pretty much didn’t gel with what they were building. I reckon it was more freeing up cap space so they can shop and he would be easy to move on because he would be in demand. I think they might go after Paps for next year when Teddy’s off contract.

yeah who knows -- i think that's way too simple a case -- they're losing JWH... and TM was cheap for them -- but we'll see

 

[Tiger Morgs]

I have a question for everyone.
Who would you prefer to keep Galvin or Latu if you can only one.
I think I would take Latu if it means we keep all of the Fainu's

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I agree, was thinking we'd have to give him what we were offering Stef.

Worth the risk though.

Wasnt Stef reportedly offered around twice as much as May is currently on $450 atm?
$600-650 maybe 7 at a push. Can't just throw money around willy nilly who else would be offering that much maybe the dogs?

 

[Halbrowne61]

Josh Addo-Carr yes or no?

Noooooooooooooo !!!
