Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Radley is 3 or 4 years too late..has been a gr8 player,but hes finished..done and dusted ..he will just cost a desperate club a lot of $$ and disruption with a medical retirement.
Weve just been thru one of these and hopefully will have learnt something
Its a giant distraction..we have plenty already

When we have the end of season awards night, i think they are usually the week of grand final..

10th October

Remember watching an interview of his a few years ago on Matty Johns where he said he tries not to go out "there" too much, referring to the West.

He's a stuck-up Eastie, won't be coming here

Guys like Radley that grew up in places like Bronte think that going across Anzac Pde is beneath them. I reakon he will take a his contracted pay and move into his property development business before going elsewhere. He knows the writing is on the wall.

Radley on a 2 year - 500k deal would be a great result. Would leave another 500-600k for another first grade quality forward.

Concussions aside, he makes our team and forward pack better. We improve defensively and find that ball playing middle we've been missing for years.

8. Terrell May
9. Api Koroisau
10. Fonua Pole
11. Samuel Fainu
12. Pearce-Paul
13. Victor Radley

14. Latu/Doueihi (whoever isn't starting 7)
15. Twal
16. New singing
17. Sione Fainu


Seyfarth, Hunt, Bird, Geyer, Sukkar and Kit for depth

Wait for something else to fall out of the tree, this is not the falling fruit we need.

Radley to stay at roosters
10 match suspension
$ 30 k fine , all by the club , Radley excepts all ( nrl rumours )
Sweep under carpet , nothing to see hear

 

[innsaneink]

He's being released

Doesnt look like it

 

[Odessa]

I really like Radley as a player and wouldn’t be opposed at all to him as his ball playing skills alone would do so much for Luai/Latu plus his defensive ability with his line speed is such a bonus.

However I’m really excited to see AD get a full preseason in the lock position with Latu probably going to the be 7 next season. He has just re-signed on a decent sized deal so struggle to see where he goes if we bring in Radley.

I have high hopes for AD I think he’ll go excellent next year and continue his late season form

Hes staying just all a media stun

Second hand BYD out of rego needing new tyres and minor panel damage should cover it.

According to Weedler he won’t be paid for that 10 week period which makes the fine closer to 150k

They’re basically forcing him to find another club without actually sacking him .

However VR could go rogue and spill the beans on the rest of people at the golf trip because the amount of white stuff he allegedly purchased is more than he could take himself .

No way would they consider Ponga ahead of Bula.

 

[Tito Santana]

Don't think radley would fit in with all the teetotallers here. Reckon the implications of Benjis family first approach is a pretty strict no drugs policy.

Maybe we need the lads to coke up

 

[Merlot]

rumours persist that the once untouchable n pure Nick Politis is making a steady recovery in hospital after being admitted for choking on his words

It all doesn't really pass the sniff or pub test does it

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Could Sione be that guy?
He's almost a victim of his versatility that he can play backrow, lock and prop..

Who knows what's floating around in Benji's head and what's possible.

Harsh punishment compared to Esra Mam

I reckon...and just opinion, that this cloud surrounding him drops his value significantly. Roosters want him gone and that alone shows motivation to do some deal.

500k would be an acceptable risk...we pay Doueihi 400k...we pay Taylan 600k...surely 500k is a reasonable value to output salary.

In saying that, we may be a club that distances ourselves from this type of drama, and Radley is not a young kid that would look up to the leaders...he is meant to be a leader or at least would be at our club...there's a lot to consider from a cultural standpoint.

You’re right, he’s not a young kid, at 29. I reckon he’ll want to get away from the limelight. Get a deal done with maybe London Broncos, for maybe 1 year, then return to nrl when dust has settled. If I was his mgr that’s the advice he needs.
