Official THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Signings/Transfers ONLY!!!!

I actually do agree with his comments re: needing depth at second row. 27 players signed for next year and Nikora is the only 2nd rower.

Need to re-sign Wilton and add either sign depth players or identify guys internally who can step in to the top 30 (e.g. O'Kane) I actually do agree with his comments re: needing depth at second row. 27 players signed for next year and Nikora is the only 2nd rower.

Yeah fair. We probably do actually now I think about it a bit more

I'd count Talakai in the second row depth, but I wouldn't be against signing/promoting an extra.

Fox Sports’ James Hooper revealed that Wighton was expected to travel to Sydney on Friday to finalise “what is tipped to be a four-year deal with South Sydney until the end of 2026”.

Massive for souths, but I can't see it leaving a lot of money for Campbell Graham. They might need to back end him a bit.

This signing speaks to souths going all out to win a comp in the next two years before a rebuild

Wighton & Walker halves would be a disaster IMO. I assume that's where they're going or is Cody getting rissoled? Wighton isn't an upgrade if so.

Wighton will be their left centre.

A backline of:

Trell
Aj
Wighton
Graham
Thompson/other winger
Walker
Illias

Pretty damn good.

Centre? On what kinda money ?

$850k I seen they reckon. Big centre money but Jack's leaving $250k a yr on the table too.

Tells a story of a guy who's done everything in the game except win a premiership

Highly doubt it was ever going to happen at Canberra. Puts them in a tough spot now, not that I give a ****

Funny watching Ricky lose out on another player.
He normally chases and misses out but this time, it’s one of his own wanting out!

As much as it'd not happen at Canberra it wouldn't happen with Jack at 5/8. **** em both I reckon. Souths too whether they get him or not.

 

[CHOGM]

So the Latrell bromance goes to another level. The bunnies have a lot of talent but they often don’t play smart. They seem to lack that leader who makes the right call at the right time most of the time. Not that players like that are easy to find. Wighton is not such a player. Not even close.

[stalefish]

Anyone been watching O’Kane? How’s he tracking? Because if he’s ready to step up next season and deputise for Nikora and Wilton that would be handy.

i thought he was close this year to getting a top 30 spot?

 

[MrDravid]

Actually? Shame as I think he still has something to offer the NRL. Got some sauce for this one?

Was from twitter, so could be anything

I don't use twitter a lot but I'm pretty sure that dude is a bit of a fruit loop, especially around the sharks. He may well be right though, but it would be a shame for our outside back depth this year as he's clearly next man up IMO.

Signed straight off a 7 month rehab? That'd be something.
If it's true, maybe there's word he's been overtaken by Stonestreet, Iro and Dykes

One may have gotten it from another thou!
Unless an official source, take with a grain of salt at this point (not saying it won’t happen thou).

The best of luck to him. Similar situation to Lachie Miller where it sucks to lose him as he’s fantastic backup to Ronnie and Katoa, but he deserves the chance to play more first team football.

Providing its true of course.

 

[Sharkfox]

Put him at left centre
