Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jolls]

Better business if they had someone lined up as a replacement.

RHS, maybe they don't but there is also every chance that they do. The way the club is working we won't hear about it until a deal is done. Richo and Benji have made a decision to positively adjust the cap and will either have a player lined up or will be preparing to make a mid season signing. They have to fill the positions and spend the cap. There are no leaks so we just need to trust the system.

We can safely put this rumour to bed and add TillLindemann to the ignore list.

Terrell May also signed an extension last year 🤔

 

[PabloX]

I'd love to get Spencer. That could allow May to move to 13. I'd also like to chase one of the McLean brothers, whoever the odd one out is.

I have cooled down a bit from last night mate I know things have improved a lot since Richo joined us but with all the scar tissue from recent history, what's that old saying trust has to be earned.

May was surplus to their needs on his $$ with Leniu also taking up considerable cap space with his new extension. It was an opportunity they saw, much like the Klemmer move.

My take is old mate read a post the other day from the papers about a 2024 signing being disgruntled at their new club, someone mentioned Leniu and he started the rumour on the back of that.

Lol that is from August last year, and is clearly an example of the "despite the PR" I was referring to you. Ancient history.
OF COURSE Leniu wouldn't come out publicly bagging the club at the time, but behind the scenes both sides were fuming. Spencer thought he'd been hung out to dry, and the posh power brokers at the Roosters thought they'd been unnecessarily embarrassed.

Bag me all you want, Leniu is happening though.

And yes I've joked from time to time, and been wrong a lot, but don't forget it was me who first shared the May news here.

It's a piss take.

Why the extension so late in the season then? He wouldn't have been short of suitors at good cash.

Klemmer out, Spencer Leniu in, in an immediate switch. Lock it in.

Leniu wants out of the Roosters, wanted to go back to the panthers but they don't have the cap space. Thanks to Luai, Api and Turuva getting in his ear, we've landed him.

Take it to the bank.

Thanks Klemmer!

You make us smile Dr Lindeman ..

this would be yuge if true … can’t see the Roosters letting both May and Leniu go on the same offseason

I will forgive you if it's true TL, in fact I will buy you a new car.

We might as well swap Galvin for Cleary while we are at it.

Matchbox car

Top of the line collector's edition, oh hang on that could be more expensive than what I expect.

 

[Oldman]

It’s a simple equation.
IF we lose Klemmer and do not replace him externally with another forward of proven NRL quality it will mean our likely starting forwards are;
13. Twal
12. Seyfarth
11. Sam Fainu
10. Pole
9. Korisau
8. May
14 Da Silva
15. Bird
16. Sione Fainu
17. Hunt

** I think most of our supporters agree that is a decent looking forward pack and bench rotation. Not brilliant, but hopeful they could get the job done against most opposing forward packs.
** After that we drop in NRL forward standard substantially and will be relying on players not only unproven at NRL level, but all except Tim Johanssen and Reuben Porter who have not even had one dominant game at NSW Cup level.

Look how well the Bulldog’s forwards went last year with probably only Kikau being rated as a top line player in his position,
If our forwards put in and get a couple of early wins on the board for their confidence, you never know.

Now that would be an upgrade and a half.

I am certainly preying you are right

I guess we will have to wait and see

If this doesn't happen TLM I will hunt you and find you .......... and tell you how excited and disappointed you made me. This would be the best signing ever.

panthers would need to contribute to Cleary's contract for this to happen
