Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Someone on rabbits forum said scratch semi of the rabbits list as another club with more money to offer has swooped in

We probably have the most cap space for 2020 but it still probably won't be us who swooped in

An English billionaire has crushed South Sydney’s hopes of securing the signature of barnstorming winger Semi Radradra.

Stephen Lansdown, owner of Bristol Rugby in England, has blown the Rabbitohs out of the market with a $3 million two-year offer for the Fijian superstar that is too good to refuse.

UK rugby clubs have a salary cap of $16.5 million.

Lansdown has a personal wealth of $3.5 billion compared to Souths owner Russell Crowe ($95 million).

The UK finance guru also owns the Bristol soccer club.

The $3 million is his first offer, according to UK sources, and may even be increased.

The offer is more than double the $700,000 Souths were prepared to pay for arguably the best winger in either code.

He would have become the highest paid winger in the NRL.

Radradra was in Sydney three weeks ago to meet with South Sydney officials and expressed a strong desire to return home to the NRL.

They met at the home of a third party, art dealer Steve Nasteski, who is a Rabbitohs tragic.

However the money in English rugby union is too good to turn down.

The 27-year-old winger scored 26 tries in his last season of NRL with the Parramatta Eels.

The Rabbitohs’ major signing priority is a middle forward replacement for Sam Burgess. They are favourites to sign highly regarded Gold Coast Titans forward Jai Arrow, but won’t have him on deck until 2021.

Meninga said that Latrell will be meeting with Titans.........

@TheDaBoss I can imagine Souths swooping in late but the Titans is pure fantasy. They have zero cap space.

Darren Lockyer has confirmed that Brodie Croft has been signed to a 3 year deal with the donkeys they have a heap of players coming off contract 2020 including Fifta maybe we should go in all guns blazing and offer him 3 year deal of 3.3mil would put enormous pressure on the donkeys.

DaBoss theres an article from the telegraph about how Mitchell should go to the Titans instead of the Tigers, cant read it though cant get past the paywall reckon itll be a good laugh.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Don't bother reading it. Titans cannot afford him but Meninga still wants him.

Now there’s an article saying cowboys still in the hunt for him

WWOS reporting that they are trying to sell off Jake Granville to fund LM.
That means that LM would play second fiddle to VH and be stuck playing in the centres where he doesn’t want to play.
Nice try but I think that this is just more click bait journalism.

Exactly.

Honestly think Cowboys are no chance now that they have Holmes.

That's surprising in two ways. Firstly, I didn't know Granville was on $1m a season and secondly, surprised that someone would be picking him up full freight.

That's what I'm talkin about! Fifita is the one we should be going all out for. How high would you go?

You guys are not wrong Fifita would ve a great pickup for our engine room, just depends where the club want to invest our cap.

imma big fan of fiffita but i don't think any forward is wortha big chunk of the cap. Investing should be done primarily on the spine. Just my opnion.

As long as you are happy to spend Latrell's $$$$'s on Fifita .....he'll get near enough to a million / season when he re-signs (TPA inclusive )

Precisely, we can only really atm have a good crack at one either Mitchell or Fafita, just depends where Madge sees a bigger need in the roster, atm in my opinion we need speed and strike in the backline atm more than a damaging forward, atm our backs dont really seem to frighten too many teams, i reckon we will have a white hot crack next year for a few decent forwards next year when we have a few mil free in the cap to play with.

I guess the other thing with David Fifita is how having his Dad just released from prison weighs into all this ...he literally got out 5 days ago
