The eels have released Kelepi Tanginoa.. in his teens and in NYC he was one of the standout prospects but hasn't kicked on. Would come cheap. He is one big human and got some speed

Released Twal, Tanginoa and one other player. Apparently signing Willis Meehan.

He signed with Manly & played for Blacktown on the weekend
 
Gordan would be on minimum. Fergo is getting a lower contract 😏.

So what was guerra on? kenny dowell?

Watson is only 150k i think so wont be a big cash pickup for them.

id guess watson,dowell,guerra and evans would of been on around 1.3-1.5 mill together.

Mick Gordon re-signs with roosters for 1 year

Surely that means Mitchell or Ferguson will be leaving.
I'd be over the moon if we got Latrell Mitchell.

1\. Tedesco
2\. Gordon
3\. Ferguson
4\. Mitchell
5\. Tupou

What about Joseph Manu then?
He's too good to be playing reserve grade.

They will fit him in somewhere. They will have a team full of 1st graders in ISP Cup. I think the NRL should just let Roosters choose 150 players that they would like on their books and everyone else can fight over the dregs that are left- itis pretty much like that now anyway.
Seriously hope the Roosters have a massive injury plague lay waste to their club next year. Cheating bastards.
 
Roosters do have a decent side dont get me wrong. But they have only won two premierships in 42 years. Getting major sponsors on board with tpas doesnt win you a title. Storm and Cronulla have a great system that doesnt require major tpas.

If Mitchell leaves it will be to Souths.

I doubt it. They just got Gagai and Inglis should be fit very soon

Sharks have won 1 title in 50 years and even that was tainted with a massive stench of performance enhancing substances.
I just cannot fathom how a team can get rid of a reserve-grader like Kane Evans and bring in an Origin star, keep everyone else on their roster and it is somehow legit. TPA's are supposed to be capped aren't they, not every Rooster can be on $150 000 of Monopoly money topped up with hundreds of thousands of TPA dollars? Its a disgrace. Hope the injury gods take a massive dump on Unca Nick, Mumps Robinson and the rest of that shonky excuse for a footy club.
 
Since we're talking about cheating bastards, gotta mention the Broncos.

Before the 2017 seasons started Knights offered Korbin Sims $400k for 2017, already paying him $90k for that season in fact.
Then he signed and left for the 2017 season to the Broncos, on a second tier contract of only $85k. Taking a paycut of over 75%. Officially. If you believe that.

Like in 2010 when Lockyer was reportedly on a figure of $250k.

Or when questions of salary cap breaches came up and Andrew Gee stepped down and suddenly case closed.

Is Roberts sill unsigned? A Courier Mail article suggesting even the Broncos dollars aren't sufficient to keep him. Suggestions on other forum that Manly and the Dogs are chasing him.
 
Yeah i have more of a problem with the broncos. There monopoly on a one city team with there sponsors and perfect draw everyyear basically makes the top 8 a top 7\. Every year the broncs will be in it just about.

Yes sharks were iffy. But i think glanagan is legit. He seems like an old school type to me. Fringe Players like capewell, feleki, bakuya have stepped up like they do at the storm.

The whole system is rorted anyway with the rules.

Dogs surely don't have the bucks to get Roberts, especially from Brisbane.
If they find the money, they would have to offload a few forwards.

He would be alright at Manly.

Newcastle will offer him a deal.
I think Cronulla should go after him for a replacement for Jack Bird.
He would be a good fit for Penrith but they might be having Cap Problems.

I don't think we need him but a player of that speed can never be too bad

re: the bolded part - they're also letting Guerra and SKD go. Not that it changes your point, which I largely agree with.
