Well we should at least hear where Shaun Johnson is going soon lol

they r in a bit of a muddle atm… i think nearly every club this year has been in some sort of drama of their own, whether it be player or coach

I dont like to get into the rights and wrongs of contracts too often but yep the whole thing has become a joke.

We have Johnson now available
Brooks unsigned (still)
Widdop wanting to go home
Warriors dont have a half back

Roosters, Sharks, Raiders, Tigers, Dragons, Warriors and Eels all playing the guessing game right now.

Where will the pieces fall.

Haven't Wests Tigers swapped Brooks for him..?
 
Dragons saying they won't release him, who are they kidding. No one is held to contracts anymore. Was only yesterday the Warriors denied SJ's release. Today they give it to him. Contracts lol.
 
As others have said - SJ released by warriors and has signed with the sharks.

On widdop he's been here since he was 13 years old..

So Johnson to halves, Moylan to FB?

I'd say so, CB. SJ and Townsend link up in the halves again.

If true It's good to see the team full of rep players already and caught cheating the salary cap get another rep player..
Yet we cannot get a rep player … :crazy

That is some very selective reading you have performed there :laughing:
 
Widdop could have at least taken Saints to dinner first. Talk about being screwed over. Id feel sorry for them if i didn't hate them.
 
The SJ to Sharks one is interesting
Even if Moylan (to 2021) is their fullback, it leaves three into 2 spots with SJ, Chad Townsend (2020) and Kyle Flanagan (?) the coaches son
Roosters are rumoured to be huge on young Flanagan, so like all these things, plenty of knock on effects, maybe even a coaching one?
 
I'd be super surprised if we got SJ - we just don't need him as badly as some other clubs suddenly do.

If Widdop leaves and Holmes gone, both those clubs need a replacement ASAP and they have big money spare.

Only a Kiwi connection could entice SJ to Tigers. But honestly despite his talent, he plays in a position we have fairly well covered just now - we still need to focus on centre and backrow.

I'm still a bit shocked the number of big-name immediate releases this offseason - unprecedented in my memory and so many of them with a lot of their current contract still remaining. Klemmer, SJ, Holmes, now Widdop all asking for immediate releases.

Be careful, some may think you want it all!!

We need a marquee centre. Dylan Walker? No let’s get Momirovski.
We need a marquee prop. Klemmer? No let’s get Clark (with a silent e) and Musgrove.

I’ll be the first to put my hand up if I’m wrong but gee I’d like us to recruit one, just one, outstanding footballer.

Im with you. One, just one.

Lmao Clark (with a silent e)

100% with what u said, we always seem to get the cheap model, yet we have heaps in our cap, so we have been told. its fun that every other club can get players that are still under contact, yet we still buy at target. and yes i know we got mybe and musgrove, both were still contracted. but we dont get what we need a clas nrl centre and a clqass nrl forward.

Clark (without the e) was one of Ivan the Great's signing. Maybe he was getting rid of the dead wood at Penrith before he took over.

We need a strategy over signing name X.

Do we sign Cook? Who surely is at the top of the hooker options, when we have Farah and Liddle in the side?

Yes I rate Cook as a player, but I have no idea how his game would improve our team that would justify the expense.
I don't think we are that weak there, while he would be a good signing for the dogs to replace Lichaa.

Do we attack down one side and sign Alex Johnson and try for Dylan Walker to get him some good ball? If so how does Dylan and Reynolds fit?

We need a plan, then we pick the players to fit the plan. If we see a real bargain, i.e. Jason Taumalogo or Coen Hess become free then we go for the bargain. But otherwise we stick to the plan.
 
Would be amazing if S J went to sharks who fair enough let Holmes go , but are they not under investigation for salary cap issues, They are choc full of expensive big names and still have more room .Tigers need Brydens best lawyers to look into how we can afford to be like that

Just wondering do people on here have multiple user accounts cause I could swear it that I am starting to notice some trends….

What do you mean by trends

Are you disputing his observations? :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol not really, I find his observations about similarity of post to be correct. I do however dispute this secondary accounts thing. If more than one person is saying the same thing maybe just maybe those people have a point.
 
@ said:
My guess is Flanagan https://twitter.com/ReadingThePlay/status/1067341010454237184?s=19

Yep has to be Flanagan - the talk is an official at Cronulla who was found guilty in the peptide scandal and is up to his eyeballs in salary cap cheating may be kicked out of NRL altogether. Johnny Cronk is even being looked at as stop gap replacement.

The goss doing the rounds is coach Flanagan is on the outer @ the sharks.
Maybe there is an assistant job lined up for him at the roosters with young Kyle to be mentored by Cronk (post-retirement).

Kyle Flanagan looks the goods.
Also have a gun half on the come up named Braydon Trindall - one to watch.

Sharks juniors seem to be the best rising talents around.

Ramien… Winger Katoa... Trindall & Flanagan... Xerri - who looks to be an amazing prospect.
