Great list Bazz ….we got a thread in the contract section ....but this deserves it own..

>>>>>>>>>>Contract section....

 

[Lukic]

Isn't J Perry going to Egnland?

 

[Bazzinator]

from wat i understand he hasnt signed with a club but has said that he will sign in england

 

[Tigerdale]

perry didnt want to ruin his origin chances by signing overseas.

he is as good as gone

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Heard a rumour that knucklehead masquerading as the NSW #9 is heading to Penriff. Any substance to that rumour people?

 

[Chris]

How reliable is your source mate? The reason why I ask is that the Panthers have a better hooker than Ennis already there. Unless they wanted Ennis for state cup then that's understandable.

 

[Balmain_Tiger]

didnt we resign moltz, ayshford and ryan?

I know this Chris, Kingston has it in spades on Ennis, thats why I'm keen to find out whether its the case or not. Can't fathom why they would sign him?

My source knows a few of the players and people high up in the club. He's usually right.

 

[Bazzinator]

souths have signed jaiman lowe as cover for ben ross looks like they are resigned that he wont play

 

[TheSunTanSuperman]

I heard that Ennis tidbit last week myself.

The story is that apparently the Bulldogs AND pernriff are after Inglis and the Bulldogs are willing to get rid of Ennis(amongst others) if they can get Inglis and Penrith would sign Ennis if they didn't get Inglis.

Why they would do this after having signed Kingston till 2013 is anyones guess, but it is only a rumour, but a rumour that's obviously gotten around.

Rumour
TATE > COWBOYS
WIDDOP > SOUTHS

 

[Tigerdale]

[MacDougall]

The signed Craig Stapleton straight from the Mines to play first grade this weekend.

 

[Bazzinator]

[Chris]

Rumour
TATE COWBOYS

Cowboys have an offer on the table but looks like he's Broncos bound.

They've got plenty of money to offer after missing out on Thurston and Wicks/Houston leaving the club.
