however Fox League’s James Hooper said earlier this month the rumours “won’t go away.”

**** this bit made me laugh.

The rumour that Hooper won't let this rumour go away just won't go away

Funny how the rumours don't go away when you keep mentioning them isn't it

From other forum GUN

There was a few whispers we were meant to be meeting with Tapine and Kris during the bye period but not sure if that will go ahead now.

Yes please to both.

Mole is just a mouthpiece that player managers use to spew dribble into the media they want reported. He does no true research!

Unconfirmed but reports of Capewell to broncos
Sua apparently told he won’t be kept by Rabbits and wants to go Broncos too. Replacement or two for TPJ

Would seem silly to get both with Riki and Piakura waiting in the wings. Think Capewell is just about a lock to go there.

Capewell just announced on radio.

Also I heard JFH from Penrith about to sign an extended deal for $800K plus per year.

Iken went to work quickly, announced last night that Capewell was his 1st target

Probably knew he had already signed

Worth it for JFH.
Panthers going to have a hard time holding onto any prospects for the next few years.

They only need to hang onto their current halves (both have 8 yrs in them) and rebuild around them. They have a good junior system.

Yep very hard!

Capes saying not signed anything (yet)
Will make decision after origin

as well as JWH, we are talking to STKO and still in line for Dale Finucane

 

[Tiger Shark]

is STKO Taukeiaho ?

I'm pretty happy with all these middles and what they're looking for seems to be pretty common themese across all of them - experienced, good defensively, forward leaders has some hardness in them.

 

[Nulla Boy]

Damn, One of those would be great but if we can jag 2 even better.

 

[Sparkles]

STKO is 29, so a few good years left in him. Not quite the x-factor guy but good quality. I'd take him on reasonable money.
JWH is great now, and might be for another year or two. We're actually going to need a few older heads if Fifs, Woods and Wade leave, so thinking that way I'd take him.
...unless we can get Finucane. Ticks all the boxes and is better than everyone above.

Fox saying TPJ 'almost certain' to move before August 1 with Tigers interested and Dragons 'keeping an eye on situation'
If Wade is dicey for rest of year could be an interesting use of the Chad money.
TPJ is definitely an exciting signing as a game breaker but I would definitely also have some concerns. Not sure he fits a no ********s policy by most interpretations...
