Missed out on not having players we wanted to keep on the market

Retentions have been good. Surely we will jag one good external signing

If he were to go early, the Roosters could set the terms of his release including which club he would not be released too and if they were to contribute to his new club.

He’d sooner just play out the final year of his contract than settle for us.

You underestimate the influence of NIck Politis.

I seem to recall the Roorters were talking about Mitchell not being released to go to their old foes Souffs.
As it turns out that was a cunning plan that made Souffs think they got a win when they did finally get him, when in reality he ended up being a liability.
Well played Nick.

Yeah, it’s not happening

They have now lost a player they desperately wanted to keep all because he become impatient and tried to force a deal to be done, even though Sam Walker himself had already told them no deal would be done until after his Kangaroos commitments.
If we lost a high profile player in that banner we would be heavily criticised, but because it’s the Roosters it’s supposedly ok.
Great to see Sam Walker did not give in to the Roosters forceful tactics.
And it’s not about the money as it appears Walker would have likely agreed to their 1.4 million per season offer had they been prepared to wait until after the World Cup like he initially requested.
You reckon?

Yeah, I reckon I'm right about the Mitchell situation, not saying that is also true for the Walker situation.
Was just responding to a comment that was made about the possibility that Roorters could put a restriction on who Walker could be released to and how that played out in the past with Mitchell.

The Roosters have a solid track record. They don’t always get it right. Look at Dom Young and cheese. But that will happen from time to time. And most importantly if you keep winning, no one will care about the odd hiccup. When you are perennial losers and stumble from one bad signing to another, of course it’s going to get more negative attention.

Manly are $500,000 over the cap even if they fill the last 4 spots of their roster with minimum wage players, hopefully we’re looking at Navale has heaps of potential
