NRL transfer market: Raiders, Tigers discuss Josh Hodgson switch, Roosters premiership star hunted by Super League club
Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson’s potential move to a Sydney rival picks up speed, while a two-time premiership-winning Rooster is set to fly the coup after 2022. TRANSFER LATEST.
David Riccio
and
Dean Ritchie
Wests Tigers bid to prize Josh Hodgson out of Canberra has taken it’s most significant step with Tim Sheens voicing his full-support behind the hooker’s looming signature.
Sheens, recently appointed the Wests Tigers head of performance, is suddenly the most powerful voice within the football department with the final say on the club’s recruitment.
Still in the UK, Sheens has been working the phones in recent days with the Tigers hierarchy — making it clear that Hodgson should be a priority pick-up with the English international’s experience and class desperately required by the club.
Significantly and the key to the deal being done, is that the 70-year-old has also maintained a strong relationship with many of the Raiders key decision-makers.
Sheens spent more than a decade in Canberra and is the longest-serving coach in the club’s history.
Negotiations between Hodgson’s management and the Tigers are set to continue on Friday.

News Corp has been told Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire have spoken in-depth about Hodgson’s possible transfer to Concord.
The major obstacle will be exactly how much Wests Tigers want Canberra to tip in for the deal to eventuate. Canberra fears the amount might be too high.
FROM OUR PARTNERS

Hodgson, 31, has another season remaining on his current Raiders contract but the switch would be immediate should a deal can be struck.
Canberra has Tom Starling ready to step up and take over the club’s dummy-half and hooking duties should Hodgson leave.
Hodgson would be happy to stay but wants another long-term NRL deal before retiring.
Raiders recruitment guru Peter Mulholland is also across the negotiations.
Sources close to the talks claim Wests Tigers’ offer for Hodgson would span two, possibly three seasons.
Hodgson has been linked to multiple clubs over the past 12 months.
There were suggestions Hodgson was restless at Canberra but Stuart maintains a strong bond with the English star.
Securing Hodgson would be a massive signing for the struggling Wests Tigers.
Should Canberra reject Wests Tigers’ approach, Hodgson would stay on and complete his deal with the Raiders next season.

Wests Tigers have already signed Great Britain internationals Jackson Hastings and Oliver Gildart and former NSW utility Tyrone Peachey for next season.
Sheens, Stuart and Maguire were all at Canberra during the 1980s. Stuart and Maguire were playing with Sheens the head coach.
Maguire is known to be a fan of Hodgson, who was part of Canberra’s 2019 grand final side.
Hodgson may be prepared to take a contract reduction to secure a new long-term contract.
Stuck in England through Covid, Sheens has been attempting to return home for the past three months. West Tigers have used Jacob Liddle as hooker but Hodgson would give the club more strike out of dummy half.
Sheens is an idiot. Never likes the idea of bringing him back
He's gone and got rid of Hartigan to bring back Warren Mcdonell
"Sheens also wants to bring ex-recruitment manager Warren McDonnell to the club. It will be McDonnell’s third stint at the club after they parted ways just months ago. The decision to reunite Sheens and McDonnell meant Hartigan’s role would be heavily diluted. It is understood Hartigan was not interested in a reduced role."

Some didn't like him but the club offered him pretty much exact same role in 2013 but he wanted a full-time coaching role.
I think it will work for us.

So Sheen is now not here until Nov it has been reported in media but not sure if true.
It might be just me and I understand all the Covid stuff but surely he could of been back by now considering its been months and Hastings finished his season and back here already.
I can only assume someone at the club or sponsors would have a connection somewhere to make this happen quicker unless Sheen is not in a hurry to return.
He is such a critical part of the club now with regards to recruitment and feel he needs to be here for face to face meetings etc...

There's no sponsor getting around the heavily restricted number of international arrivals and hotel quarantine requirements, both of which will ease somewhat at the start of November.
Really I can't imagine there's that much happening at the moment that can't wait another 2 weeks.

full80 for the win...
Hastings had to quarantine still on Arrival ..if Sheens delays he will avoid that and be on deck on his return.

Remember Sheens only signed the contract literally a few days ago. Why should he come back to Oz on the premise he would get a contract. With this club recent swaying in the wind nothing could be sure. Maybe now all the backroom footy structure seems to be in place things can settle down, Sheens comes back and oversees things.
