Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[balmain boy]

Strange that they come out and say he's not going anywhere and looking forward to entering the bubble. I don't place any value in that. What did Broncos say a day before they released TPJ? South's weren't going after Trell etc

Happens all the time. I'm not getting my hopes up, it'd be great if it comes off, but i'd certainly prefer this is played out in the background and not in the media like all our other potential signings have been.

If any other team paid a centre over $500 they would be crucified.

Centre is the lowest paid player in the game…

He's the best centre in the game.
He's been there since 20s when they'd fly him over for games on the weekend without even training with the team.

He's probably got other benefits other than the reported income also.

Heard we might be in the hunt for the English international fullback / 5/8 Johnny, something?
Can’t recall his last name but it’s been discussed on hear before.

surely theye not going to bring a 30 yr old over here from england

Pat Richards was around 30 when he played for us. Easts brought over a 30 year old Winger, who hasnt outshone Morris but has done OK.

We cant manage Geriatrics well. Dane Finucane was right to sign with Cronulla because their coaches worked out how to manage Gallen, Lewis and others past 30. That being said.

If the price is right and the talent is awesome. No problems here. Particularly at the 200k range where we can take a risk. Now NZ took a huge risk on a Brit fullback at the 1M mark that was beyond stupid. But if the price is right, the talent good and were missing the Hooker/fullback or whatever position I am up for it.

Oh god it’s been reported by the forgotten man on Facebook. Now we’re no chance


FAKE. THIS GUY RED IT FROM HERE. WHAT A FRAUD

A lot of connecting the dots.
Let's hope it can come true though.

Mbye for Lomax is a great deal for both clubs.

mate i'm all for the swap but i'm just sick and tired of how this team tries to promote to players so they wanna join us and look how many fish we got... we catch tadpoles instead of sharks.. u get me?

Yeah man we all get our hopes up for nothing.

All I'll say is it was mentioned 10 days ago and now it's coming up again.

Madge denies Scott Rumours.
Mbye to dragons has been a thing for a while now.
Lomax dramas with team mates.

I'm hopeful.

Yep, tamper expectations when comes to wt links. Remember you posting something about him and the bbq

Massive chance.

The fact that Lomax is only just joining the dragons in the bubble means nothing.
It just brings him closer to where we are in the bubble too.
Makes the swap that little bit easier if theyre all in the bubble together.

This will play out two ways...

Dragons deny his release because they're in the 8 and want to have a crack in the finals, he finishes the year in red and white and joins the Tigers for next season.
Or

The bullying and distrust from team mates continues and his position becomes untenable. He agitates for an immediately release and joins the Tigers in the next week.

Either way...
Lomax will be a Tiger.

I hear you bro , I would prefer it to happen now rather than wait for next year.
Waiting for something to happen , never ends well for our club.

Sure, he's just waiting for Cotric to sign first...

Just for those not in the know , Zacs partner just signed for the roosters , and has moved back to Sydney . There could be some huge truth to this , as both had deep links to the Shellharbour region , for a variety of reasons .

This could have legs

I’m not questioning what he gets paid. Just how the Roosters can pay a centre that whilst also paying other important positions.

They would have to have at least 1 player in every part of the field paid between 700-900k

Tedesco
Keary
Crichton
Manu
Hargreaves
Siosiua Taka

That’s not even considering this year
Cordener
Friend

Probably around 7mil there for 6 active and 2 retired players.

And we cry over
Packer
MBye
Brooks
Nofa taking up less than 3 mil.

So to the roosters to replace Manu. Right..

Manu is leaving the Roosters? ?

 

[Sully]

I agreed to not get sucked in again so soon after TPJ and Finnucane but I am in and hope this will come true.

Keep it quite and do the deal behind the scenes and ask Lee to shut up.

Hey works for me . I’m just pointing out that the dragons train out of Wollongong , and he might not live down the coast anymore
