Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Terrell May also signed an extension last year 🤔

I was thinking about this. Mays extension was in April or close to it. Roosters tied up Spencer in August. What’s the chance they suggested this is all that is on offer because they maxed out their cap on all the earlier resignings in that year and he agreed to resign on less money showing loyalty only for the Roosters to move May on two months later.

He needs to have been medically assessed and deemed injury free when he was signed. If a current injury is deemed chronic and not the same as, or a result of, any existing injury then there is no salary cap relief if he is medically retired.

Looks like we are screwed

Kurt Capewell is another that could be a possibility.

Seems a little odd to have a bonding session 1 day out from a trial, thought a light run with ball work would be more appropriate.

It's more for the sponsors I think.

They will be voting for Albanese.

Can we please leave the political bull elsewhere.. I need this refuge , I am sick to death of being inundated with culture war crap being blasted at me from every direction. .. here at least can we avoid the Murdoch smears and nonsense ?

Since learnt it was yesterday all good was concerned if it was a day before a trial

Ex Storm players have been worked hard when let go by Bellamy. Olam, Smith and Finucane are examples. Great players in their prime.

Never sign a player over 28 years old. Ever! Doesn't matter who they are or what they've achieved.
There may be the odd success story but on percentages....
If they are any good, their current club hangs onto them. Better off going for the lower grader who is going to replace them in a year or two.

It's coming from this and some Twitter chat surrounding it.

Spencer didn't fit into the Eastern Suburbs culture, as did not Terrell. I was shocked by the outrage at his hardly racist remark on the football field and media manipulation. Roosters with their PC virtue signalling 'we'll give him an education' rubbish to appease minorities was BS

If I'm not mistaken wasn't it mam who nearly killed someone last year on the road. What did he get?

BREAKING NEWS: Weststigers release their secret weapon at their Annual Golf Day Function on WEDNESDAY 19th February 2025

Richo to Benji “Fek brown paper bags, Rusty use to give em cases of cash!”

I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Could have used the extra dollars after letting Bateman go. There’s more to the Galvin situation than money.

Yeah good point. What do you reckon will play out with him?

 

[Tito Santana]

He’s gone.

Obviously doesn’t want to win comps.

Nah.

Never sign a player over 28 on a 4 year contract and wonder why they don't perform.
The only exception are gun halfbacks, DCE, Adam Reynolds... Hoping Luai won't prove us wrong.

Leniu is not happening lol

Heard we got no money or it’s being used for galvin.

Happy to be proven wrong but that’s what I got.

The recruitment of Spencer Leniu would strengthen our retention chances of Galvin

Yes Please x10000%
