(Archived) THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

[Paul C]

Rumour going round that Zac Lomax has asked for a release and has had talks with Michael Maguire.

He'd slot straight into our #3 but wouldn't come cheap.

he has that x factor. If he got his attitude right could be anything.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Already been rubbished by the Dragons.

 

[HaroldBishop]

He's 21 and played 45 games - often comes with that age and experience. Gun player, love him at the Sharks. Good goal kicker too.

Yeah fair point.

Yep, I’d be down for that. I rate him. Can’t see the Dragons letting him go though.

Selfish pricks!

 

[Proud Shark]

If there is a scrap of truth in that I'd be all over it. He is an out and out gun. Him and Staggs would be my two target centres if you could have anyone.

Also can be a position where it can be easy to not get a lot of involvement unless you go looking for it

100% .. he would be a great pick up for our squad if true !!

 

[HaroldBishop]

Who would everyone take out of the young gun centres if you had a choice?

For me, in order

Staggs
Lomax
Best
Crichton

I'm not seeing the hype in Crichton like many others. Yes, he's good, but overhyped for mine at this stage.

I get a bit sad looking at that list knowing there should be a fifth name on it. So bloody disappointing.

Take Lomax . but at what price 400K ?

I’ll come back to you H, they look like stand outs at this stage but a name I’ll throw in there who has shown he’s going to be a good player is the Warriors centre Rocco Berry, I may get laughed down as well but I’ve seen some good things by Herbie Farnworth from the Broncs as well, I got a feeling he’s going to be a very good centre in 2-3 yrs from now

Agree with your order and agree on Crichton. Beneficiary of a good side.

I'd give him 550k without breaking a sweat. I think he is a very good player. If we paid him 600 I'd be fine. Rest of our outside backs are cheap.

Lomax $600k for sure - good goal kicker too

Pap worth 666 K
Lomax more than 600K ?

[Tiger Shark]

That article makes no sense. Says he’s getting around 680k a year and then one of the highest paid players in the game. He wouldn’t be top 20 on that money.

I think that is more low for Pap rather than high for lomax.
If Melbourne have resigned Pap for pretty well what we got Hynes for that is insanely good business. I thought Pap would have fetched 900k+

That figure must be from the set of books the NRL sees.
No way Papps is on the same coin as Nicho

Anyone have any idea on Newcastle's player Connor Watson on him joining us next year? I've got a mate who's got a good source a mate of his saying we are close to signing Watson from Newcastle. Anyone else have any idea about him?

He told me a few weeks back that we had signed Finucane from Melbourne & I didn't believe him at first when he first told me a few weeks back. If we get him I wonder whether he or Trindall be our half back with Hynes as 5/8.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

If we could somehow grab Lomax, that would be awesome. Can't see it happening, though.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Do we bring Curtis Scott back home?

Hang on, I can answer that myself. Hell No!!!
