Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tiger05premier]

I said this the other and at the time I was told he is off to the Roosters was also told his total package is 1.2 million a year

No justice in the Cap

There is definitely only 800k in cap used and 400k on cash

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And Fifita now... last year that winger from Newcastle - you see, the thing is, when Roosters buy, they buy big... no has potential players.... and it fits perfectly into the cap...they do not buy no names...have you noticed this??

Tyrone Sloan is off contract at Dragons and commencing discussions to stay. He has improved remarkably under Flanagan both on-field and with his attitude. He admitted he thought he was better than he was so it is really good to know he has matured as a player. Reported on Win 4 news.

He is a real talent

Love watching him play

Unfortunately even if we did want him we really don't need him as we have Bula and neither would settle for wing

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Great. Lets move on. Back on track... love the thought though... and whilst I have you... you prefer Bula or Sloan...??

Do you think Penrith could be interested in Twal and Seyfarth if we package them? We have form, Garner is doing a great job off the bench for Panthers.
We seem to be signing every player who scores 2 tries against us and it’s not working?

The people we want, we are not getting. I.e. Martin or Leota.
Garner or Eisenhuth could be an idea. Lets face it though, who from Penrith has come here and done well?

Tupou
Tom Payne? (got the name wrong, old prop from ages ago..)

The only player that has performed here from Penrith has been Api K.
Flip it. Most Parramatta forwards have done better here. Likewise Easts have gone OK here.

There are key gaps in our training. Lets hire players from teams that train to fill those gaps till we sort our training problem out.

The whole team have improved under Flanagan begin again. What are you saying...swap with Bula?

<controversial>
Swap Marshall for Flanagan!

We had our chance.... we BLEW IT

Panthers aren’t shopping him, he is off contract.

That’s if you disregard the news story where he was being shipped to Brisbane. Who said no thanks.

Think he shopped himself..

Broncos were looking for a second rower so he got management to reach out, no thanks and they signed Jack Gowieskii or however spelt, instead.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Those names are hard to spell Demps... no apology required brother... damn I had to look up Faataape's name - just in case some one was offended cause I was thinking in the moment and not doing a research paper or thesis...

Luke Garner is one of the worst players penrith has played in the last 4 years in their dominant period. Deadset Jaeman Salmon has been far more useful

Thank you. Went there and was immediately below Sorensen and the other bloke who went to Canberra in the depth chart after Cleary watched him prance around like a cat for a few weeks.

I’m still surprised he was played ahead of Peachey in the finals and in limited minutes he did more than I expected. Shows how good guys like Cleary are, turned water into wine.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Good leader.... not a boys club thing.... some people are hero's as players - some as coaches - was there anyone that ever did both??

 

[Dr_Ice]

Let’s think about how the Roosters can afford Fifita next year ?
They have the following off their books next year.

Manu
Keary
Wearea Hargreaves
Suaalii

There should be more signings coming for the Roosters.

I call that good Cap Management

Manu knocks back $1m per season from Warriors to stay at Roosters for less money when contract was last up. Now $1m free once he leaves??

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Cause he coming back to Roosters. Insurance plan.

Not dissimilar to Bellamy all those years ago//

 

[GNR4LIFE]

no more money for our 5/8 Galvin to go to the Chooks! oh but wait -

😞 😞😞

So the fact they are losing Manu and most likely Crichton gives them no money to spend elsewhere?

 

[rugbygoated]

I actually think Sitili Tupouniua & Toby Rudolf are realistic.

Sili especially if the iPap move to lock is a success to sure up our senior backrow stocks.

Rudolf given Sharks will have too many middles next year with AFB coming & he would relieve cap space. He is also managed by Richo's son's company.

Signing Sitili on a low money contract but guaranteed starting spot + more years would be appealing. If he stopped getting injured, I reckon he will hit his peak in the future. He's damaging when he's on

Didn’t you know they were on minimum wage?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Didn’t you know they were on minimum wage?

So is Fifita. What’s the problem?
