Titans should be trying to sign sorrenson. Exactly the type of forward they need there.

dont see why they would release him, he is on a user friendly contract and he is great impact for them

User friendly definitely, but I have always assumed we had a min wage deal (or near to) waiting for him if he didn't find anything else so presumably they've paid at least enough to get him to move teams. Even if it is just an extra 50k or something freeing that up could maybe be the difference between retaining someone else or not.

But I agree it is probably unlikely and he probably represents enough good value to them they wouldn't release early... maybe if the 50k helped them and he had a great offer they didn't want to stand in the way of?

Happy for Mitch Dunn. ACL and off contract. I thought the Cowboys might have sent him packing.

Has the tools to be a good ball-playing forward if Payten ever wants that from his middles.

Yeah - I think for some guys a team just won't stand in their way. Soro is a great benchie or replacement at the Panthers, but if someone else comes with a #11 jersey for him on a multi-year deal I think the team should be happy for him to take the opportunity.

Soro's been good but you'd also think there's a few players coming through at the Panthers that could take his spot with potentially more upside.
Not real lose situation for either of them if he goes early.

Rumours of a Foran backflip on Tits

They'd flip out if he tried, surely

Dolphins have signed Cody Hunter (20yo halfback from Redcliffe Q Cup) to a train and trial deal.
