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...

It’s funny, my perception is he comes across as a loose cannon but apparently the Broncos playing group is filthy he is being moved on as he is very popular within the playing group, not saying he’s not a dh but maybe the media have helped make people’s perception of him not what he actually is?

yeh i would shut wade down for the year and sign tpj for this and next

then add one of stko or jwh and go all out for finucane

**** what a pack that would be

 

[D.D]

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.

Would have been all over Taukeiaho a few seasons ago. Doesn't seem the same player since last year. Also been caught out alot in defence, has a semi trailer turning circle. Not sure if it's underlying injuries as he used to be a mini Taumalolo

Sign TPJ, JWH and Finucane.

That won't happen.

Great pack though I don't want TPJ.

Capewell just announced on radio.

Capewell denied it on instagram, said he wont be signing anywhere until after Origin.

Hooper says TPJ to Bulldogs but also same article is SJ to Bulldogs and that was almost immediately wrong

 

[moruya shark]

SJ to Warriors ... didn't see that coming

Sounds like a Fifita replacement

Yesss please. Finucane is priority 1, but tpj is a clear second for me. TKO has had a few injury issues the last few seasons so I wouldn't want to spend big, JWH may be better value and is pretty reliable.

I'd rather Manu but the movement on Gagai is interesting. If he was the last piece of the puzzle I'd take him. He's been memed to death about only turning up in origin but he has actually been awesome the last two years.

Said this a while ago. If we had a no ********s policy we don't win in 2016. Sign TPJ up ASAP.

 

[Spanner shark]

Maybe Bellyache brings Finucan with him

You reckon the Roosters managed GF wins without ********s? Like, major Storm level ********s? They seem to keep the squad pretty clean (or a better at covering it up)

I think your last point is key. Radley seems like as much of a trouble maker as anyone off the field, albeit minor incidents thus far. I think there is a fair majority of ********s who are footballers, it comes with the territory.

I think instead of not signing them, you have a hardline approach that they respect. If it doesn't work, move them on.

Mmm, not keen on spending TPJ money to suck-it-and-see. We've been down that pot-holed road and I didn't enjoy the ride

I'm not anticipating him costing the world. 500k a year over 2 years is worth the risk. 2.5 years if we can get him now. Other than skirting lock downs, has TPJ done anything major wrong?

 

[Paul C]

Doods.

Work with a young fella who has mutual friends with Radley, only a matter of time before he does something very silly.

Its his suspensions for on field stuff.
