Buzz Rothfield warning
“ The reason for Josh Addo-Carr’s backflip on quitting Melbourne Storm was about two things – money and the fact he didn’t want to play for the Wests Tigers.
Storm agreed to upgrade the final year of his contract by an extra $140,000 to bring him into line with the NRL’s highest-paid wingers. He is now on what he could have earned if he’d played for the Wests Tigers.
Deep down, the Blues winger didn’t want to play under Michael Maguire at Wests.
He could only get out of the deal by staying at the Storm and postponing the move back to Sydney.
When he eventually returns in 2022, it will be at the South Sydney Rabbitohs or the Canterbury Bulldogs.”
The coach of Cronulla, Rothfield's pet team, is in immensely more trouble than other coach in the competition. How are they going with luring players to their team?
They got their man in Tolman. Beat us to the punch. They will surely be one club on a big slide. They also have a fair bit of money freed up for 2022 yet i haven't seen any of their great signings for then.
Once they sign Flanagan as coach for 2022 then I'd imagine the signings will come.
They love a good pep talk over there.
