Capewell has all but aligned himself with the Knights. As someone already said in here, he’s knocked the Tigers back more than once. The club isn’t chasing him. The last I heard, is that Wests Tigers are waiting to see who Matterson aligns himself with and then they plan to negotioate a player swap deal with that team.
The article states Newcastle have gone cold on him
I would rather he stay then send him to Parra or Penrith, they can go to hell, POM said Parra started this rot, so I say if that is the choice he stays, or Parra come up with something really special

What would we gain from a cash settlement?? It would not help our cap situation except for Matterson’s contract money and we than have to find a replacement.
If we hand him on a plate to Parra we will be the laughing stock of the NRLAs for Moses he just went another level lower if that is possible
Could use the money to buyout a ESL contract?
any transfer fee goes onto the salary cap
Nope … unless NRL rules have changed since 2015 Burgess to Rabbits ruling.
you are wrong
Pretty sure the same thing happened with Bateman and the raiders, it was a fee outside the cap

@GNR4LIFE its a money issue for all of us …if your not trying to find the job that will be providing the best lifestyle inside and outside the workforce for you and your family you are letting yourself and your family down as far as I’m concerned
Blame the weakening laws in the workforce as well for many of these problems
25-30 years ago I had to sign waivers /contracts to say I wouldn’t go work for my competitors for a year if I left of my own accord …now I give two weeks notice …pffft
The game as a International whole needs to put its foot down , our club probably should’ve been more pro active
If the ESL and NRL stood firm on rules in these areas , players wouldn’t have a foot to stand on …piss off and play Rugby Union …ever tried watching a game lately …helps me sleep …God knows what playing a game must be like these days
I have a waiver on my employment, I can’t work for a rival company for 12 months if I leave
@Balmainbred said in Knee injury may force Matulino to hang up boots:
My personal opinion they’ll go down the lines of aggravated pre existing injury. Didn’t they do that with Ballin. And he sat out rest of his contract paid. I’d say where screwed.
Geez we are due a change of luck from the NRL belting we have copped the last few years, hope this is it
@Fletch If MBye is going to play in the halves you don’t wait til 2021 to move him there. You move him there next year and Benji will have to be back up like he signed for

@iofthetigers 29??? Jesus, I thought he was still young, like mid 20s.
Roosters website says he’s 27
That would mean he’s 29 then. Rorters struggle with number accuracy
Made me laugh, but you are right, easts have no consideration for the correct actual numbers on anything

@Russell I think Madge wants Lomax as fullback in the future, i don’t know why just have that feeling.
I think Madge is making a play for AJ Brimson , I don’t know whether it is for Fullback or 5/8.
I would hope 5/8th
@Jimmy said in Official: Esan leaving:
I’d say momo n talau will be centres with Mbye starting 9, grub or Walters off the bench
I certainly hope that is not happening, MBye at 9 with Grub as back up, that would be a disaster, as neither are a 9
@StarswithStripes said in Esan leaving:
Does that mean we are about to announce the signing of an outside back?
Yeh probably getting Rankin back on a 5 year deal, seriously though I hope its Lomax
