Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

How do the Roosters get away with releasing a player simply because he “doesn’t meet the direction the club is heading?”

Not one word said. Clubs like us would love to be able to release players, but somehow some clubs seem to be able to do whatever they want despite contracts.
Probably because they are releasing a player wanted by several clubs 😂 massive difference to our situation
 
I really hope us letting Chris Faagutu go doesnt back to bite us. I cannot believe we didnt give this guy a shot in the top grade .. his the ability and skills to be a really good back rower. :-(
Didn’t richo say that he won’t debut a young player unless they are signed up longer term
Might be the reason
Tim j and mason both had reesigned just after they debut
I could be wrong though

Richo is trying to rebuild the joint he’s probably looked at kit and fagutu and seen very similar players with a few differences. the main 1 been kit is a local jr who has captained 1 out Mathews cup team to a premiership. if there was only room for 1 of them I can see why he has chosen kit

I really doubt that been a local and captain had anything to do with it , I have had great captains in my teams , but they were never the best players
 
I think you can take it to the bank that Sione will be here. If he wasn't promised a spot he would have been signed by another club by now, as plenty of teams have top 30 space.

I assume that they are waiting for Miller or Faguutu's release to be finalised with the NRL before announcing his re-signing.

And just an aside champion @Canadian Club:

Your avatar reminds me of the fella in Quebec who was a heavy drinker. In fact, he drank Canada Dry. 😉
 
Considering our difficulty in moving players on, if people could have only 2 of May, Hetherington and Sione Fainu who would they have?

I think i would lean towards having Sione and May (sounding like all is ok attitude wise). I think between Bird and Sione they can cover lock. It would be a real shame to watch Sione run around elsewhere

Sione and May.
Sione should be rewarded for being an incumbent player massively improved last season.
May is an out and out first grader and impact player.
