(Archived) THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

[BurgoShark]

Is the centre from manly NYC we got mid year still with us next season ? Jesse Ramien i think his name is.

didn't we get 2 brothers from them? Is he one of them?

Both brothers (Jesse and Brydon) are still NYC eligible next season. I don't know for sure whether they are definitely contracted for 2017, but I expect they will both be in the NYC squad. Both players have been junior NSW reps. Jesse is a centre who will be 20 next season and apparently has some potential, but he'll be a couple of years away from first grade.

We have good depth at centre. I think if we lose Beale we need to sign or re-sign someone capable of playing wing (e.g. Gagan).

 

[BurgoShark]

For sure and we do need depth for the outside backs, however I just feel thats easier to fill than it is for hooker.

Drew was injured for a fair period wasnt he? Not really sure where he sits at the moment.

Drew missed the back end of the season. He is still in the mix. He and Capewell were told a similar thing: "2 year deal. You won't see much first grade in year one but if you earn it there will be opportunities in year two".

heighington -> 2 year deal at newcastle

Is this a done deal? Got a link at all?

 

[QldSharky]

Does Jackson Hastings have a deal yet for next year?

Dont think so, sounds like no one wants to touch him due to his attitude though. Must be a real **** as his footy ability looked promising.

Few rumours floating around this morning that a young nrl half is off to catalans also, could be him.

Heino's departure probably means Starling will happen.

For those who don't know - I am a Qlder who follows the Qld Cup. Parcell is a gun. He was too good for the Qld Cup. I was swap Beale for him in a heartbeat - especially given the salary cap freed up and the depth we have at centre (Capewell, Drew, Moraitis, Jack Williams)

... and surely the case is closed on Leutele. We won the comp with him on that side, and looked pretty sharp in defense doing it (other than when Beale was there in the GF)

:good::good:

starling is talking to newcastle as well

 

[vicsharkfan]

Proctor (storm) weighing up a big money deal (1.5m 3 years) at Titans, I though that wasn't that much for him, massive fan of him and chambers.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Yeah I'd definitely take him for that with the cap increasing in 2018.

 

[Thresher]

500k per year, good value I reckon.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Bargain at $500K for the right team

 

[snowman]

We will need a right edge backrower in '18

 

[Capital_Shark]

No chance of missing him for Origin either which I reckon adds value to a player

 

[sharks2010]

Proctor, who recently became a father of two, has strong ties to the Gold Coast after meeting his partner Leesa at high school there.

It's understood he's torn between his loyalty to the Storm and relocating his young family closer to relatives.

Probably explains the move

I was just looking at the player movements on the Zero Tackle web site. They list the off-contract players as well as those moving. They mention Alex McKinnon off-contract at Newcastle. Is that really necessary? Seems a bit off-colour to me.

It is a little, I think the reason would be that knights honoured his deal and it ended this year.

Figures. They need a whole new team.

Do SBS cover Rugby League in Melbourne because it's considered an ethnic game down there? :yawn:
