(Archived) THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

[bort]

Apparently Suli is finally a done deal to the Dragons. 3 years, allegedly worth 1.7 mil.

Plus 50,000 transfer fee after the Dragons squeezed the same out of Manly for Saab last year.

 

[Proud Shark]

Ridiculous deal.

Bullemor released too, rumoured to be on the way to Manly.

 

[Spanner shark]

napa is dreadful

i saw segy in cronulla the other day, he has been in a huge burger shop

no chance he signs with an nrl club, i could see him signing a nsw cup deal though

He would have to bring Norman and Peptides with him to get a run with the Tigers

Bullemore is a good prospect. Hate that he has gone to Manly. He was a First 15 star at Nudgee College and also achieved an OP1 in his yr 12 academic results. Don't know what that is in NSW but enough to study medicine.

Poor Kevvie wouldn't have had a clue what he was talking about.

He can find a hole

This deserved more attention.

Was an absolute beast in Q Cup for Norths too.

Apparently the Roosters are seriously looking at Sims, from Dean Ritchie.

He'd probably go to a strong club for less given he's never won a premiership and doesn't have many years left in him.

The Roosters clearly don't have any friends who are Dragons fans then

I'd happily take Tuponuia off their hands if they get Sims.

Or Angus
If they could get Sims for around 500k and they have Tupnuia and some of their young guys they might not mind letting Angus off the books a year early to free up some cash.

Absolutely, we will have cash available too.

how many backrowers do we need?

all of them

ricky stuart circa 2009

This deserved more attention.

I think Napa gave it enough

He would have to bring Norman and Peptides with him to get a run with the Tigers

I have to wonder if the Tigers are looking to move James Tamou on a year early (especially if they land a new coach)
Sounds as though James didn't have a great season with them especially as captain but most of their players had bad seasons. his defensive stats are very strong though tackling at 96%. doubt anyone in our side achieved that other than Tolman

Tamou started okay but maybe doesn't have the legs on him anymore to be a full season starter. I think at one stage his three week total meters didn't add up to 100.
I thought he was a great deal at the price they paid... that turned out wrong... although I did think Tolman was an even better deal so at least that was right.

 

[Gards]

what's james on? around the $300k mark? Panthers still paying any of that?

if Tolman is let go when are we allowed to talk with the player/tigers. Is it post Nov?

unless tigers give him early permission to shop himself around. would prefer him to Woods

If I recall that number is about what was in media and that Panthers are not chipping in.

Not sure what Tolman has to do with second part of your post? We are allowed to talk to players/Tigers from the 1st of November before their contract expires. So played contracted through next season can be negotiated with from this November.
We don't want Tamou though. I'd rather keep Tolman or even Woods. Oh you added another sentence, you'd prefer 300k for Tamou over 180k for Woods?

 

[Gards]

I meant that if we keep Tolman there would be less of a need to start talking with Tamou

if we let Tolman go well we need to bring another player up or go to the market for another cheapish experienced forward that can start or be quality depth

I love Tolman but Tamou is far more potential with the ball and could go well under Fitz and is not as slow as Tolman. both players are good defenders

Woods well we all know what Woods is and on previous weeks games I see him as less a bargain than what he was and kinda glad we arn't extending him

 

[Blair]

I must be the only one that doesn't love Tolman. He's just a bit too much of a limp noodle for me.

So far in the middle we have:

Finucane
BHU
Rudolph
Williams
McInnes
Talakai
Pele
Fifita
Hunt

If we are paying minimum wage, lets take a punt on an up and coming youngster that inspires some fear in oppositions.
