Do you think with the 7 days cooling off this was signed a week ago or that doesn't apply to re-signing.
Pretty sure it still applies but good point, could’ve easily been done a week ago.

Hard to imagine a club with a marketing dept like ours get an Instagram post, interview and article all up in the same day he signed

Hope this was all pre-planned to get officially released today Nov 1 - all the jurnos have spent the last week stepping over each other re articles about where Tricky will end up.

There will be a lot of white out being used tonight on the their articles.

True

I’ve come around a bit on maybe May did do nothing wrong

He gets released publicly to fuel bidding for him and get him an extra 100k+ a year than his roosters deal
They free up approx 300-350k towards Hunt (or someone else, but I think you only do it for spine player)

Mutually beneficial if a bit odd

Bunty Afoa being offered to clubs
Looked like he has another level he hasn’t reached yet, stagnated a bit and a change of scenery I think would do him well.

If he’s happy to go cheap roosters just opened up a prop spot. His tackle efficiency is decent but probably doesn’t have quite the tank on him for them.

Might have to be the consolation prize for a team that goes after May but misses out.

Well, if he's willing to play for free, I don't see why he couldn't go the Jets.

I've always had a soft spot for bunty, would definitely take him at Newtown

Aunty who?

100% be the fun Aunt

Would be more that capable of filling the short impact role that Hunt played for us.

I'm not saying we should sign him, he's definitely not required for us but still think he'd be a decent pick up for another team.

I have no idea who that is!

And....to save @HaroldBishop some effort:

"I have no idea". Fullstop
