Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tony soprano]

Read thinks our cap tight next year, didn’t sound like any certainty on signings.

Who knows what the clubs doing

“I don’t want to say too much about what went on, but the Tigers deal was not as high as other clubs.”

Cannot recall another player talking crap like this.

Well, I imagine the discussions with the Tigers would have been done by his manager, not the player. So, who knows what the manager told him the offer from the Tigers was? He may well be stating the truth as told to him by his manager.

And, lets face it, apart from Kent, Hooper, Rothfield, Ikin and the so-called "journos" of NRL, there is no bigger blight on the game than player managers.

Nothing wrong with Ikin, Kent, Hooper, Toovey and Benji on 360. The dribblers on 9 are getting money under false pretences.

You’ve obviously missed Kent and Hooper’s sly smirk every time they bash the Tigers on NRL360. They’ve lost me and im certain as more people switch off they’ll be off air in no time. Gronks.

I know it's MG, but he said in an interview that we were getting rid of a list of players including Packer... and maybe Reynolds this offseason. Did anyone hear of anything? The_Pom?

Odd I am hearing that Elijah Taylor, Oliver Clarke and Robert Jennings being mentioned as leaving us. On top of Marshall and Lawrence which we all know about.

No Reynolds or Packer.

Unfortunately neither of them are worth a biscuit. One more year of this rabble.

[izotope]

who are the other 3?? or talking about the ones who left already this year "Ben Matulino (2018-19), Corey Thompson (2018-20) and Chris McQueen (2018-20)"

Wests Tigers have confirmed that eight players will depart the club at the end of the 2020 season.

Benji Marshall, Chris Lawrence, Dylan Smith, Elijah Taylor, Harry Grant, Matt Eisenhuth, Robert Jennings and Oliver Clark were all recognised at the club’s final home game on Saturday and will be officially farewelled at the club’s end-of-season Kelly-Barnes Award later this week.

Nearly fell off the chair when Rothfield said the other night Wests Tigers did a really nice job in the way they farewelled Marshall and Lawrence.

Can’t stop laughing, I can picture it now, in his hands wrapped in a brown paper bag.

Yep they counted McQueen, Thompson and Matulino in the departing players at the game.

Laughable in the extreme

Toovey and Benji have some credibilty through their on-field careers and achievements. I don't have issues with them.

It's the professional NRL-nuffie "journalists" such as Kent and Rothfield and Hooper, who seem more intent on wanting us to believe "I know better than the others", that I despise. With a passion. Add Michael Chammas and his cringeworthy support for Benji and ongoing bagging of WT to that list as well.

Collectivey, I see them as a scourge on the best interests and future of the game, in my opinion.

As for the Ch 9 mob .....? I haven't watched any of their NRL coverage or shows in about the last 5 years so I can't comment. No matter how keen I am for a footy fix, if Ch 9 is the only option, I go without. So I don't watch the GF or SOO. Couldn't care less.

Kent did actually play - he also played 1 game in first grade, something most of us on here have never done.

Would you walk away from a $800k contract

Three Manly players to depart, report says
Three Sea Eagles are set to get shown the door.



Three Manly players have reportedly been told they won’t be at the club in 2021.

Danny Levi, Brendan Elliot and Tony Williams will all depart the Sea Eagles, according to AAP’s Scott Bailey.


“Manly also confirm Danny Levi, Brendan Elliot and Tony Williams won’t be re-signed by the club,” Bailey tweeted.



Levi has played 103 NRL games, spending five seasons at the Newcastle Knights before moving to Manly ahead of the 2020 season.

He made 20 appearances for the Sea Eagles this season.


Elliott has played 66 games, including stints for the Roosters, Knights and Titans, before joining the Sea Eagles in 2019. He made 26 appearances for Manly over two seasons.

Williams made his NRL debut in 2008 for Parramatta, having also played for Canterbury and Cronulla.

He played 73 of his 170 NRL games for Manly from 2009 to 2012, but did not make a first-grade appearance since his return to the club last year.

Wouldn't go anywhere near those 3.

Rabbitohs pair Bayley Sironen and Steven Marsters sign on
Good news for Rabbitohs fans!



The South Sydney Rabbitohs have announced that both Bayley Sironen and Steven Marsters have had their contracts extended until at least the end of 2021.

Sironen, 23, has made 19 NRL appearances for the Rabbitohs since joining the team last year, tallying up a total of 21 games since his debut with Wests Tigers in 2017.


The utility first played for the Australian Schoolboys in 2014, later being picked up by the New South Wales under 20s in 2016. He then went on to be selected in the New South Wales Emerging Blues squad in 2018.

Marsters, 20, made his NRL debut just this year for the Rabbitohs in round 15, scoring a try upon debut. Before his debut however, the outside back represented the Cook Islands in two Test matches and three International Nines games.

According to Rabbitohs Head of Football Mark Ellison, both Sironen and Marsters have earned their spot in the Rabbitohs Top 30 by working hard and staying committed to the team.

“Both Bayley and Steve have put in all of the hard work and more that is required to play at the top level of the game and they’ve been rewarded with positions in our first grade team throughout the year as well as these new contracts,” Ellison told the club website.


“This is a testament to the effort they have put in both physically and in terms of their growth in maturity throughout this season.

“Bayley comes from a great pedigree, has taken the step up to become a regular NRL player and we’re sure Bayley can continue to improve his game as he becomes more experienced at the top grade.

“Steve would be the first one to admit that he got away to a slow start when he joined us in November last year, as well as coming back from the COVID-19 break earlier this year, however he took a hard look at himself, pulled his socks up and worked very hard for the opportunities he has received this year and in turn has been rewarded with another contract with our Club.

“We’re very happy to see them both re-sign for a further 12 months and we’re all looking forward to continuing our work with them in 2021.”


Upon questioning, Sironen said he was “stoked” to be extending his contract with the Rabbitohs for a further 12 months.

“Since joining the Rabbitohs last year, everyone from my team mates, the coaches, the staff and the Members have made me feel at home and their support has been unbelievable,” Sironen said.

“I know I have become a better player at this club and more importantly I’ve become a better person.

“Knowing that made my decision to stay an easier one and I’m looking forward to finishing this year on a high and then going again in 2021.”

Marsters is also beyond pleased to be staying at the Rabbitohs for an extended year.

“I’m over the moon to be at this Club and I’m really happy to be here for at least another 12 months,” Marsters said.

“The opportunities I’ve received this year has made me want to stay and to keep improving.

“The Members at our Club are first class and I want to go out and make the most of my opportunities to play for them.”

Thats good to hear if reports are correct that Souffs have signed Jacob Host from Saints there using what ever Salary Cap they have on signings and extensions
