Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not if they have a get out of jail clause in their contract that states if Madge is not there they can walk

Of course, that goes without saying. That would be in line with the terms of the contract. But, you know we were talking about players reneging on their contracts because they've changed their minds.

Angus sounded like a desperate play by madge.

just like going after bird to keep Hastings happy.

sounds like sheens wants to develop within which will be difficult if we fork big coin externally.

building junior base was always going to take time.

happy for the club to have a long term view.

It doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other though. You can sign good players while developing young guys to take over in 2-3 years time.

This is very disappointing news.

Even players with Madge links have said "no thanks" for two years now.

There is a genuine problem we just can't keep not addressing.

Its cause we keep losing

Seems like the guys that did it aren’t regretting the “professional risk” they took. I’m fact, they improved their careers. 1 coaches the premiers, 1 player has played origin and plenty of finals, another is about to play origin.

With the benefit of hindsight it’s worked out well for them in a professional sense. They have no morals though and they can obviously live with that. I think matterson would be a liability for NSW.

Safe to say @AnonTiger was spot on

The Nofo incident had nothing to do with Hastings, just leave it at that.

As for Haas, don't get your hopes up.

 

[Wearealaughingstock]

Heard it at the footy around the ground. Jacko came out and killed it now we know what's really happening all we can do is hope nofo recovers well

Wrong

Finally our halves would match our CEO/roster. Perfect storm (storms)

I don't believe it does.
Shows we're ambitious in targeting players who are more aligned to our goals, but that the perception obviously hasn't changed to some.

It makes the Roosters look even more like they are hiding funds.

Roosters are clearly on some decline, it's going to take them a while to ramp back up to be a legitimately competitive side. They haven't recovered from the Cordner / Friend retirements, or the loss of Latrell, and have a few other players reaching the decline of their careers - Keary, JWH, Tedesco etc.

Angus C himself is not at his peak, but he allegedly wants to stay at the Roosters for less. Less now of course, cushy job, investment property and a taxi licence later.
