Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Telltails]

Can someone tell me why StGeorge are willing to release Saab?

Because he doesn't want to play for St. George. Travel a big issue.

Ok thanks

If we have to pay majority of packers contract for him to leave is it worth it?

Absolutely. Whatever it takes to get rid of him.

If we get Saab in return then I guess it is. There’s only one year left of packers deal so if we do pay a lot for him to go to dragons I would hope his spot is taken by someone like Bunty Afoa.

Welch staying with Melbourne maybe a blessing disguise. Dialogue between Tigers & Dragons involving Packer returning to the Red V has been brought up. With an agreement on how much $$ is being paid for him to leave linked to also gaining Saab’s release.

Have there been any further developments around JAC?

Manager seeing who’s willing to pay big $$ ($800,00 price tag is correct) so far no honest takers. Talks still on going, would say 80% in our favour he’ll be here.

That's great news, thanks. Is there still any interest in the UK for Reynolds?

If asked this same time last week I would of said more than interest for Reynolds. Was going along nicely but sudden change of heart (by Reynolds) has now put a halt on it all. Not sure if an NRL team has stepped in with interest but certainly hit a road block.

Madge wants to see what Madden can do but has a fear of rushing playmakers into debut, Madden certainly believes he’s ready, confident kid.

@THE_POM Would Madge consider experimenting AD or Mbye in the halves at the end of the season? Is Jake Simpkin a chance to debut this year?

We've seen enough of Packer to assume he won't be getting any game time next year. Happy to pay a chunk just to get him out of here. Couldn't care less about Saab.

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Thanks for the info @THE_POM, always look forward to it.

Any news on Brooks/Mbyes futurea? Also where does the coaching staff see AD fitting in long term?

Cheers

As long as we bring another prop in to take his place I’m all over it, I’ll drive Packer myself.

Thanks for the update as always am sure is well received by all on here.
That would be great move if it happens. Any news on Reynolds future?

With a lot of our depth forwards off contract and Packer possibly leaving is the club looking at bringing in young forwards as those depth/bench players and keeping McIntyre maybe? We seem to lack quality on that area

Media reports Reynolds does not to go to UK and other NRL clubs are not interested. Sucks for us thanks Ivan.

 

[mike]

No amount of money would get me to go to the UK at this point in time. It may suck for us but I totally get Reynolds not wanting to go there.

Eagerly awaiting the end of next year where we'll be cashed up. Not looking forward to us inevitably blowing all that cash on dud signings again.

 

[Telltails]

Not being able to off load Reynolds has probably got a lot to do with also forcing Benji's hand by the club. Can't go forward with them both.

 

[JD Tiger]

Just do a Souths and convince Reynolds to leave now, paying him off the books. If only we had the cash.

story in the terecrap says crichton will be forced out of roosters.....

maybe take him next year and pay some of the freight??

There was talk earlier in the year he may go to RUGBY

Bit surprising considering Jrey has recently sold up a couple of properties maybe watch this space

Seriously the guy has had a tough run of late, he needs a fresh start, in a fresh city.
How that can happen, I have no idea.

Crichton is crap and not what we need

 

[TheDaBoss]

As quick as he comes as quick as he goes

 

[izotope]

Thanks for the updates @THE_POM
Hope packer moves on, i would of thought he would of been the least likely of the "BIG $3" to move on.

Like others had asked would like to know whats the go with Brooks

 

[twentyforty]

It’s not easy to move on the underperforming . They need some incentive to do so. As an example when the dogs wanted to move on Mbye he was offered an extra $100k. Same with JRey. What I don’t understand is what sort of deal was made to bump up Brooks’ contract?
