Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Jigsy … who pays for any team to travel ?
Actually I believe the NRL covers the base costs of travel to standard away games, but that's not necessarily true if you attempt to take two teams overseas.

Surely you can't just move one of your home games at your discretion and compel the opponent to travel to that new location.
 
Player agents have ruined the game,,,

Walker, obviously on the instruction of his manager, continually said he wants to stay with the rooorters….yet rejects their mega offer…clearly he was always lying uncle nick wont be happy!…
You gotta be careful with the Roosters, they will burn you if they have had enough.
 
I think Pole will at least wait to see what Stefano does. Stefano seems likely to head to the Roosters based off Triple M podcast last week. That would see the Storm with plenty of cap and roster space to roll out the red carpet for Fonua.

We should be going all out for Pole, he was very very good last year for us and is entering his prime.
I think his appearance on Terrell may podcast was a pretty clear sign he has strong loyalty to WT and would like to stay
I think Pole will stay but you never know until signature on the contract page.
 
Good to have options for Sukkar but I hope the stays at WT. He and Roberts are the upcoming forwards currently as depth (14 through 17) but will push for starting spots either with injury / suspension to the current first choice forwards.
We need him for depth but if good old Isaak has his way, his price will be over inflated as usual, gawd I can't stand that tick.

There was a rumour circulating a while ago that Robinson wanted to go back and coach in France. As for the Cleary’s, idk. Ivan doesn’t have anything left to prove, and I’m pretty sure he’s taking a role in the background at the Panthers.
He's an old Rooster who do you think uncle Nick would want Good old Dessie?
 
I understand the rhetoric against Doueihi's actions this year but by all reports, including from his own mouth and the agent side, Adam apologised, owned up to his selfish behaviour, fronted his teammates and the media and said it was one of his lowest moments and a wake-up call for himself. I'm sure we've all made a goose of ourselves at times, the difference is he owned it and wants to make it right. What if it was you or your son? I'd hope we could follow the coaching staff and those who know him and extend even a little grace. Or does one bad day mean burn him at the stake? Surely we're better than that, aren't we?

That said, if it happens again, then it's seeya later.

Its not a one off. He has form his entire career in regards to being vocal about what position he wants to play. He butted heads with Madge who even quipped in a press conference when AD popped his head in and said something smart, Madge replied "good centre". This was a swipe at AD for continually trying to push himself as a half and Madge just played him at centre and he had a good game.
He then said to interim coach Kimmorley if he doesnt play 6 in NRL then play him in reserve grade.
Now a 3rd coach has had a problem trying to move him from the halves and this time he actually refused to play. Thats 3 coaches in a row who all realised he cant play 6 or 7, and all 3 Adam has caused issues with.

If it happened again, he’d never find another club.
