Who is off contract that can kick goals well but plays wing or Centre , Fullback , we will need a kicker .
If Moses goes early we can use Rankin at 5/8 and kick but next season with Josh on his way here ?

Lolohea can kick goals
 
Everyone is saying we need a goal kicker but I remember hearing that goal kicking duties ( before Moses was appointed goal kicker ) was going to be between Moses and brooks, and I remember he used to kick goals in under 20's so maybe they aren't looking for a goal kicker cause brooks will take over ??

That would be a great result, would mean we don't have to put someone in just for goal kicks, ala Rankin.
 
If the club signed every player that has been mentioned on the forum, there will be so many players that we'll have to split the club back to Balmain and Western Suburbs.

That would be a good result, also to the ones being linked, Lolohea has kicked previously for the Warriors.

I posted today about a friend who's linked with the Roosters had sent me a message today and said that he was sorry about what would happen in about the next 10 minutes. Sure enough the Tedesco saga unfolded and became official soon after. I gave him a bit of stick about how they fit him in their salary cap. I asked who they're letting go to fit him in threw the names Guerra, Evans (had been announced already to Eels, Fergo, SKD and Gordon out there being the obvious ones, but asked if Mitchell and Watson would now leave because they're stuck behind better players. For what it's worth he said all the above names I mentioned were bang on except Mitchell (who I'd love to steal). Apparently he really enjoys playing at centre. Personally, I think he'll want to go to fullback sooner rather then later as he can earn more money at fullback and he's likely overpaid as a centre so Roosters may push him out with a healthy and firing Tedesco. He said Watson probably won't stay and I'd absolutely love to get him.

SKD has an offer from Newcastle, around $500k, but he has many property investments in the eastern suburbs so prefers to stay with the Roosters for as little as $200k-$250k if they make the offer.

Last I heard is Guerra is likely to Titans and Fergo back to Cronulla

Where did you here this??last you herd from where??

A work colleague, he is heavily involved with the Rorters, knows George Mimis and attends a lot of Rorters functions. His Rorters info is usually spot on.

Told me Tedesco signed with them around April 3, haven’t spoken to him in just over a week so the info is more than a week old.

My mate isn't directly involved with recruitment in any way but does have a devent role there. I checked my messages and I hit him up about the rumours of Tedesco back on 5th. I told him in some 'friendly' words to leave Teddy alone. He said back then that he didn't think they needed him so would probably leave him alone. He did some digging the next day and came back with that he'd found out Teddy was a Roosters fan when he was younger which most already know. He said he couldn't confirm or deny whether they'd made contact, he said that the recruitment team is extremely tight lipped and normally don't notify anyone within the club until they've got their man. I told him to bust their lips!

By the 22nd he'd all but made me read between the lines. Come today he tipped me off literally 10mins before it all came out. They run a pretty tight ship over there.

Being a confidence player I don't think Brooks needs any extra responsibilities or added pressure that will get his confidence down.. at this stage tho the options are limited.

I don't think our recruitment is stopping anytime soon. Plus someone said suli can keep goals.
 
Why have our standards dropped so suddenly? We were once talking of signing Packer, Hayne, Moylan, Milford and TMM now we're talking Hiku, Taufua, Fonua and Kahu

Hayne is a pipe dream and is likely to stay on the GC, he wouldn't come here for less than a million bucks so that's a ridiculous situation for the Tigers to put themselves in. Moylan was a complete smokescreen, no substance to that rumour at all. TMM was considered if he could secure a release from Penrith for this season but we then signed Reynolds, so TMM then became pointless. Milford? Likely to stay in Brisvegas.

I wouldn't discount Packer yet though.

Dugan pretty much declined the 850p.a offer from the Dragons today on twitter. If the Dogs offer big money we will miss on Packer and Milne.

Even if Dugan goes I think they'll struggle to keep both Milne and Lafai given they locked Aitken up on decent coin. Once one of them is signed it's going to be easy to persuade the other to leave for a guaranteed first grade spot and I'd be happy if we landed either of Lafai or Milne. Or the other option is Hopoate for centre. There's actually a few decent centre options out there. It's props we really need to start landing…
 
Can't see the Dogs getting Dugan. They're struggling to offload players to accommodate the arrival of Woods and Foran,they'd have to move on another 3 players to fit Dugan in.
