Must be contract year.
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
As long as he dosen't come here i don't care where he plays.
I did, but unfortunately that means nothing when we have owners making rash decisions like we saw earlier this month. I know people are going to hate me for bringing it up, but it's the reality. Whilst we as lifelong fans are bound to the club through loyalty and emotion, the players are employees. If the company you were working for was a basket case, you'd think twice at some point. The only saving grace is they are have bought into Benji's plan; without him we'd be royally stuffed.

Hi does anyone know why we haven’t re-signed sione yet ? what’s the hold up with him & bula ? thought he was great this year
That's why they extended him
Yep, but we all saw it for the band-aid solution it was and it does nothing to address the root of the problem. No one in their right mind thinks Benji deserved a contract extension that long, not even Benji!
Odd he’s from St Mary’s,
How’d Panthers ‘miss him’
Good point
Panthers - who were the top team since this lad was 12…
Long way from penrith area
to play for the lowly Dragons.
Yes how did they miss him , and st Marys is the biggest feeder club for panthers

Benji doesn't strike me as a moron, Schuster no chance he would entertain it.
I agree but Mays playing an extra 300min a year, im sure he would have so much more impact playing the proper minutes a FR should play. I think it was clear Benji played T.may way to much,and needs to manage him better to get that kind of impact Keon is producing. Rate them both very highly.
If he shows good signs with his training, work ethic and early season form, you would assume we would then try and lock him up for a few more years.
Being at our club we are now best placed to gauge his potential.
100%. That extension was BS way of trying to smooth things over. I love Benji and would love him to succeed, but seriously what will they do if we finish towards the bottom with a side Richo claimed had a spine equal to any other and a side hes not looking to add players to. Something tells me next off season will out do this one with this lot.
Theres no doubt the Roosters get players for unders but they have clearly shown they are on another level to most clubs when it comes to running a club. Personally if i had a son playing league i would advise him to sign for unders to play in that system.....Not to mention the Perks that Uncle Nick will have in place post Careers end

Both are signed for next year anyway, though I reckon it is pretty clear that the last month of board disasters and departure of our CEO would be at the forefront of reasons.

Was confident of Bula being extended until the cruise missile blew up the joint, don't know what the F is going to happen now.
In this case it could also be due to the owners basically nuking the joint putting everyone on edge. I doubt we’ll hear any signings news until well into next year.
Most fans will be calling out HBG again if he does walk. Can’t really blame him though if he does they made us a laughing stock again.
