Not a signing for us .. but down here in the Nations Capital - Canberra .. I'm hearing a lot of noise that Billy Walters will be released by us to the Raiders next week for the rest of the season to play hooker / utility role for them .. ?? I hope this isn't true, why would we help those bludgers .. !!

I would think it would be a loan similar to the roosters to warriors one - send him there for the season but if we have injuries and need him we could call him back.

If he smashes it on the weekend we should hold onto him for sure though.

I haven't got a problem as long as we can call him back whenever we want and as soon as we want.

Surely not. Releasing CT without having anyone lined up was bad enough.

That’s how the roosters loan worked

It's hard to believe we would pick him in the starting side this week and release him next week. Doesn't make sense.

Unless it is a chance to see how he goes in his natural position, if he goes ok deal is off, if not deal is on
 
Left field Suggestion. With Rugby Aus on it's knees having no broadcast deal and players facing massive pay cuts there's 1 player I'd reckon would make a gun 13 in our game - Michael Hooper. Hits like a mack truck, strong ball runner and always tries his guts out. Slim to no chance he'd leave the code, given he's the Aus captain and all but given the current circumstances around the globe, ya never know!
Only other player I'd consider is Koroibete. The rest are nuffies

Michael Ennis suggested it would be a good idea for the Raiders as a replacement Josh Hodgson so who knows if that has sparked the rumour, and or if it's gone further than that. With our current transient halves situation, and injuries it seems highly unlikely.

Seems like as Maguire walks on water at the moment with this roster and team selection releasing Thompson whilst great for him was a dumb move..He would have been pretty handy against Souff's on the wing.. it may have even been a different result..

We are good guys though maybe Manly would like Douiehi Dogs can have Brooks Raiders Walters or any other Clubs that could use a hand..

Even the Blue wiggle on the Fan was scratching his head..

I'd like to believe these are strategic moves so we have space for a couple of up and coming superstars.

It was a completely dumb move to release CT. I’m not one of those that thinks he walks on water, in fact I reckon the jury is still out. Seems to be a lot of trial and error at the moment.

It didnt come back with Stefano. We released Matterson and they just laughed at us.

The Matterson situation still baffles me to this day.... why we didn’t demand Stefano back in return at the very least is laughable

Because it was before we signed him

I’m pretty sure we were in deep talks with Stefano while the Matterson situation was going on that’s how we got him under there nose if reports are true - if we were smart we could’ve stalled til Stefano officially signed then made demands, instead we sit back and just allow Parra to take arguably our best player for nothing, word comes out we signed Stefano weeks later and now we gotta wait a year when we could’ve desperately used him this year

BJ, Matterson we got early, and he left way early, Douehi was early but souths wanted Trell, but you are right we are way behind on that ledger

Thompson was underpaid and out performed his contract played hard and was out of first grade. He earnt the release and from reports wasn’t agitating for one. Talau is the future and would have started in front of Corey. Releasing earlier increases cap space for this year. All teams front load where they can constantly we would have done the same and or left our options open for a free agent in the coming month.

Pretty sure Leilua's and Douiehi in the end weren't wanted by their respective Clubs which in my mind is different to players who want to change Clubs..
 
For every player you can say why did we move him on there is someone who will think its a good move. Didn't see many complaining about Esan being moved on and you could argue that a centre would be handy - but considering his current form maybe not.
