Roosters Will Need To Offload Players

[PeeGee]

Hopefully there is more clarity around the Salary Cap in the next few months, the players deserve 26% or even more for what they're asking. The NRL not providing transparency around their revenue streams is poor form and a way to hide how much the League is making. [/QUOTE]


Russell Packer anyone? I know nothing of him - I only just read he is off contract.

He's a thug. Hard arse mofo. I hate having nice guys in our team. He's perfect.

Maybe we should sign Raelene Castle from The Bulldogs. She's a real dog and would provide much needed mongrel for our front row.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Latrell and manu will be the long term centres. We now have a fullback and long term halves. I'd keep tupou for a wing and play a reasonable cheapie on the other side. Shed money for a prop. I would definitely not be surprised to see Graham in a chooks jersey next year.

Some common sense amidst the froth and bubble...think you are on the money here Bigchook.

Re the winger id look beneath rather than outside...maybe Bernie Lewis if he's still around?

[Darkone]

If it's James Graham....be awesome to see him with us

lol that was your finest work to date!

[novice chook]

Id offload SKD, Flake, Guerra, Nikorima and then assess where our cap is at. Evans is gone already. Id do my best to keep Watson. Keeping Latrell is a given.

There will a club desperate enough for a half to take Niko, even if we have to chip in.

Watson and Aubs are staying - off contract Toops/SKD/Fergo/Guerra/Gordon - none have received an extension offer - likely only Toops/Gordon (if he wants to play on and form warranties it as we wont have a kicker otherwise) will ultimately be offered new contracts - Toops in the signing plans of Manly/Parramatta/Wests Tigers though-Manly favoured to sign him - Nikorima free to leave if he can secure a deal -we will have to pay a fair portion of the contract if leaves mid season or end of season as he is contracted till 2018 - back ended deal for that year too

Don't know what Bernard's contract length status is but I know his contract is only for 10k a year - He's only been back 2 or so weeks after suffering an injury in a pre-season trial games after the nines- Played in the QLD under 18's and under 20's teams last few years and eligible again for QLD under 20's (19) - Recruited by Pete O'Sullivan as a 15 year old - Cowboys Junior so they will definitely be wanting him back I suggest. As Gus says you cannot buy Speed and Bernie has it in spades -

If we are moving players on after the possible signing of Tedesco we certainly need a prop. JWH due to his knee is not that impressive and presently a real risk. The Napa resigning for 3 years questionable as I see him only as a bench player at best but one who lacks speed and mobility. The front row a real problem due to their injuries and lack of speed. Napa has never ridden to the dizzy heights of 2013 when he was playing with LOD SBW and JWH. If we sign a prop we need one who has speed and can bend the line.

[King Salvo]

press report says that both Warriors and Dogs deny Foran has signed with the Dogs -maybe 10 day cooling off protocol not to confirm the signing or no signing has taken place or needing to cut some players depending on other they want to keep currently off contract at end of year - still to be agreed too what the salary cap will be though - Woods has signed with the Dogs though - tired of being Leo Sayer a one man band he say's

And if required, throw in Lui if that means we can get James Graham!

[stringaz]

Wasn't Guerra on 500k? If he, Niko, Evans,fergo and Gordon go that would easily be a million plus skd who I would only want to stay as he'd be cheap if our cap was really stretched.

Toops must stay plus buy a LOD just don't know where this goalkicker comes from. SST was doing quite well but alas, the acl.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Watson and Aubs are staying - off contract

Just to correct, Watson is contracted until end of 2018 and Aubs end of 2019.

Didn't they teach you in high school to make reference to where you get your info.

And according to this article the Cowboys didn't want him so I suggest they definitely won't want him back.

You remind me of the NRL Lurker. Has NFI except what he reads around the forums and social media then makes out that he has inside knowledge.
