Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

@Bathursttiger2 He may not be our best and considering you believe he has no ticker he still puts in that’s not saying much for some of the others in the side

Reading the last 100 pages it seems Packer is staying and McQueen are staying due lack of interest. The only gaps we are going to have is Matterson..arguably our best player and a rough chance of Reynolds and Mats ( if he gets a medical discharge)

So it is highly unlikely our roster is going to be much different in 2020. I guess we all knew that but it is some what depressing

At this stage we'll have the same team as last year but missing Matterson and no specialist hooker.

It sounds terrible doesn't it. We need to improve on last year but we look to be going backwards. Let's hope Madge can pull a rabbit out of the hat.


So we’re signing a Rabbits player?

I will take Cam Murray

The quote was “pull a rabbit out of your hat.” Who wears hats? Cooks wear hats. So it obvious - we are signing Damien Cook!!???

Watch dean Ritchie jump all over this!

Then I noticed you had deleted it.
I hope everything is ok at your end? :fa-smile-o: 😛oint_up:


All fine thanks mate. One of those days I’m afraid .... And then read couple of things on this thread which got my eyes spinning. So was taking it out on my keyboard.
Going away with some friends doing a comedy cruise out of Sydney .... then down to Phillip Island for a family get together. So that will cheer me up a bit.
All the best.


Take some warm clothes, I used to ride down to the bike races at the island quite a bit. Been there in March, April, October and November, was cold every time.
Have fun mate, plenty to see while you are there.
And the fish & chip shop at San Remo as you cross the bridge coming on to the island have the best fish & chips I have tasted

Yep have been keeping eye out for the weather but looks like I can leave my swimming trunks at home.
Plenty to do there and we have three generations going down so should be fun. Thanks for the tip about the shop in SAN Remo. Will check it out.

We could be but I have no inside info at all.

No you said pull a rabbit......
So I said it’s a rabbits player.......
Then dean Ritchie published it..........
See, that’s how rumours start?

Singo on the Matty Johns Podcast was a fascinating insight into the personalities, dealings and machinations that go on behind the scenes in rugby league and club land. That bit where they discussed Politis/Roosters and the brown paper bags backs-up the common held belief the Roosters are cheating the cap and have been doing it for decades!!

They’d only have gotten better over the years. Amazing that our governing body pretend all is ok. Just a reminder if their apathetic attitude was the Sharks compliance in 2016 despite non compliance in 2015 and 2017. Terrible terrible governance

What happened to the ‘benefit’ we’re supposed to be getting out of releasing Matterson? Everyone seemed so sure we wouldn’t let him go without getting something in return.

There’s been a recent power shift at the top rugby league with Horse Racing power-brokers moving in and seizing control, and we’ve got one of them - O’Farrell. The relationship between O’Farrell and V’landys will hopefully work in our favour. Greenberg is on notice.

@Spud_Murphy Who's saying we won't get a benefit? I don't think there's any doubt that there'll be a player swap. Whether or not we regard that swap as a good deal, I can't say. If no other team is prepared to make a reasonable swap offer, I think we'll make Matterson play out his contract until the offer is good enough. The good thing for us is we have most opinion on our side.

Yeah probably, but to be fair we told the world about it, they just had to read the paper.

Yep from all accounts we drew attention to ourselves.

Has he been released already? If not it may be a bit premature for this post don’t you think?

I’m sorry, have we even announced he’s leaving yet?

I don’t know, I’m only responding to the posts that I quoted. Click on the little icon and read those first and you’ll see why I asked the question.
