Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I just read both Reimis Smith & Bayley Sironen are off-contract at Catalans. Reimis was mentioned yesterday as a good depth outside back target (instead of Naden) but what about Sironen as a utility? I recall some NRL matches, I think at the Wahs, when he filled in at hooker quite admirably. Any regular ESL watchers think Sironen could have a future back in the NRL?
 
I agree but I think there is a misconception that the storm keep their players out of trouble. It is more the anonymity that comes with being a rugby league player in Melbourne that keeps them out of trouble.
Whatever it takes to keep a good career on track, should be the track taken.
But we’re all human and buckets of gold are really shiny, and surprisingly lite.

We just signed the best centre we have in a decade. We don’t wanna go backwards and sign a plodder like Smith.
 
Yeah ..we’ll see ..I’ll bet Radley is still in the opposition line up next time we play the Roosters…

If Nick thinks none of his players are ever on the Blow he must be joking … “just don’t get caught”..
100% Tom, I'd give 1000-1 odds to anyone, that uncle Nicks zero tolerance for drugs would get instantly thrown out the window if it was Sam Walker who was caught red handed.
 
Panthers v Dogs thurs night Panthers originally favourites with Dogs outsiders at $2.30.
Then word gets out penrith will rest Cleary and several others as they cant make the top 4...not before a huge plunge on the Dogs which now sees them $1.36 and Panthers $3+

NRL integrity 🙄 unit investigating
Penrith now $6

No margin betting until teams named

Reports maybe 16 players rested

Dogs wouldve been around $4 for 13+ earlier...missed out bugger it
 
So I wonder how much testing are the NRL are doing , and I also wonder if they like the AFL swept positive tests under the carpet
Imo I think it's one of those things the N.R.L has to pretend to be tough on, but deep down know if they were they prob wouldn't be able to fill the teams to play with the amount of guys now using one form of drug or another. Funny how times change though eh? Remember Kevin McGuire's getting a 2 year ban for extacy and Craig Field copping a multiple year ban for cocaine in 2002.
