NRL Rumour Mill Thread (Spoilers/Game Results)

[Brendan_B]

Lachlan Croker resigned with Raiders until end 2017. Another really promising kid in the Canberra system, great to see juniors being retained

 

[shane_sharks]

ricky will destroy that

 

[Brendan_B]

Not a bad finish to the England v NZ test series.

Kiwis fought well considering the players they had missing.

Whitehead played well, looks like a solid buy for Canberra

Anyone else here James Roberts is a free agent as a 'senior' Titans Official forged the signature on his contract?

If this true and he leaves you have to feel sorry for the Titans. They threw him a lifeline and he has played his best and most consistent football with them. Hopefully he stays

Better for the game if he stays at the Titans, they could really catch a break

what a rabble

Souths release Dylan Walker. The curse of the young gun / future force strikes again.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Double post.

Souths release Chris McQueen; signs with Titans.

Rumours on Reynolds wanting out also? Any truth in this?

Story is Titans offered Reynolds.

My take - NRL playing hard on Burgess. They "own" the Titans. They need some solid players. NRL says to Souths they can have Burgess, but in return, Gold Coast gets some depth / decent players.

Roberts to Souths too, read in to that as you will.

Lafai to Saints too.

Strange Walker (a Kangaroo and NSW standby) hasn't been snapped up yet. Hmmm...

McQueen has had a poor season and even had a quiet 2014 in the Premiership year. A change of scenery will do him good. Still...I loved the bloke. So I'm a bit pissed orf and raw at the moment.

 

[Brendan_B]

In fairness to Macqueen not easy to shine in a pack (2014) with blokes like Burgess and Teo killing it and getting all the accolades (deservedly so). The GC are building a solid team, no 'superstars' but lots of good, consistent first graders.

I wouldn't pay over for Roberts. He has an unsettled past, was good last year but I didn't think Dally M good and got owned by Croker in the City / Country match.

I think there is still some significant transfers to go down before kick off 2016

 

[Brendan_B]

Roberts signed with Brisbane for 250k per year, must be a good third party deal.

That is now a very complete Brisbane team, will put some big points on

How do the nrl justify signing off on those sort of deals that have Roberts very much on unders compared to his 'market' value.

Oh that's right different teams have different rules

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Brisbane need a halfback. The Hunt they have right now will be haunted after the GF.

 

[hobo]

2016 Wooden spoon favourites, loose their halfback for the season at the first session back at training after the Xmas Break.

Now almost a lock for 16th spot.
