Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Morgan Smithies would be the perfect signing for us.

 

[balmain boy]

I wonder if he is training with the tigers

No. He's not allowed to have any involvement with any NRL whatsoever

 

[liltiger]

Is it lump sum ? Or can you have it paid out say over a 10 year period . So 120k a year. Thus reducing your tax bill ?

Not sure I'm right to be honest, someone else said that the club just pays it out but it doesn't come off our cap. I'm assuming it could be like winning the lottery, take it in payments or one lumpsum. But I'm not too sure. 🤷‍♂️

I wonder if Zac Hosking might be unhappy with his situation at Canberra? Maybe wants a move back to Sydney, he would be the perfect backrower for us

Did you watch him last year? He was terrible. You won't find a raiders fan that likes him - they would love to see the back of him

How much is Leniu on?

 

[rugbygoated]

99% sure I just saw heamasi Makasini at Strathfield station going to school with the newington apparel. Or I could be tripping

He's in year 12 atm.

 

[finnzo]

Well he travelled with Luai and May with Samoa.. Tbh think he might want to get out of the Roosters. It's not his fit.

I’m pretty sure he is close with Terrel May he probably seen the way he was treated and thought stuff this place.

 

[supercoach]

All the Spencer L talk may be just a pie in the sky, but it also may have some legs.

Got the feeling the Chooks know they are on struggle street this year and might be willing to clear the decks with anyone who doesn’t want to be there, in order to make a fresh start and have tons of cap space to plunder the market place. It could be wishful thinking on my behalf.

Maybe we will know more when Klemmer’s contract is resolved

 

[crazycat]

One player doesn’t make that much of a difference

True

But when your a struggling team and you loose:
Cam Murray
Mitchell Latrell
Damien Cook (ok let go). ...

I would expect you to struggle.
The question is will Wayne fix the Bunnies? Or is it time for Supercoach to go to the nursing home?

 

[lathami]

Twal is one dimensional like Klemmer, but he's half the price, makes 100m a game and tackles at 97% efficiency. The best in the game most years.

We need Twal in the 30. Stupid not to

Agreed every good team needs players like twal. But Twal needs to lift in areas of defence his line speed at times is extremely poor. He hangs back, teams target this and get the roll on.

Yep - I think that covers both options 👍

Googled he’s reportedly on $800k. Hopefully richo knocks a lot off that

He’s in for a tough year

Fitness and defence are keybro improvement ans success.

We need Twal and Seyfarth in our squad.

Another article today came out, there’s unrest and if he leaves, we’re in the front seat

“This has been doing the rounds... there’s been a rumour going around that Spencer Leniu wanted out of the club,” Read said on Triple M on Monday morning.

“I contacted his agent last week about it, his agent said ‘that’s not true’. I know some other journalists have contacted the Roosters about it, the Roosters have denied it.

“The player involved is Spencer Leniu.”

Geeze a Discord made up rumour is being reported in the media?
Well done on a successful troll. 👍

He's just waiting for the phone call from Robbo. 🤣
