Kyle Turner

The Mole reporting that -

Former South Sydney premiership-winning back-rower Kyle Turner may join the Rabbitohs' arch rivals Sydney Roosters in 2020.

One of the heroes of the Bunnies' premiership 2014 premiership win, Turner is unwanted by the club for next season but at 27, refuses to give up on his dream to continue playing in the NRL.

Several bush clubs have shown interest in the Indigenous All Stars and NSW Country representative but there are also some feelers from Sydney clubs.

The Roosters have filled 29 of their 30 spots and Turner is hoping to grab the last one.

His ability to play in the outside backs as well as the forwards could clinch him a contract - especially if star centre Latrell Mitchell decides to go elsewhere.

Turner has been training alone in the blistering heat of his home town of Coonabarabran should the call to arms come.

Here comes the swapsies

I don’t see how he is a good fit. Especially with his broken neck.

If so, TIT

[Easts75]

This is surely a piss take..he offers absolutely nothing these days

[mightyrooster]

No way. We have plenty of back rowers. We need depth in the backs now with Latrell gone. Why would we sign Turner?

[top_joe]

I see the Silly Season has now officially commenced.

[Darkone]

At a young age he's highly experienced & versatile.

He's 2 years past full recovery with that neck

SPECIAL K gets my vote for number 30

[Old Man Rooster]

Pass on that guy.

[Hawkeye]

Souffs who are short on forwards don't want him ….. what does that tell you ?

[JAF]

I believe we have enough depth in the forwards - would rather promote within than buy Vermin rejects!

NRL RELEASE THIRD PARTY AGREEMENT DETAILS

The NRL released the values of the 16 clubs' third party agreements (TPAs) last week, and they raised plenty of eyebrows.

But the figures - published on the NRL's official website - only show what the clubs officially list as TPAs.

Several clubs have found ways to funnel money to players by TPAs that are not on the books.

One club, for instance, has a wealthy property developer as a benefactor and he builds apartment blocks, then sells units to star players for far less than market value.

It's not illegal (although somewhat shady) and the NRL even knows it happens.

And then, of course, there is the best TPA of all - the renowned brown paper bag.

No guesses who this farktard is referring too.

Chook.

Is that from an article? It dead set reads like one of the rants I had on here.

[crikey chris]

Maybe a Norths rather than a Easts signing makes more sense

[Thirteen]

How can it be a swap if he isn’t contracted to Souths anymore? It would be like swapping a Porsche for a push bike with no wheels.

[Mickie Lane]

He has played a bit of centre so maybe he is going to take Latrells spot.

Ive met Kyle Turner a few years back at Revesby Woolworths of all places. I wished him luck for the season and asked if i was a Rabbits supporter-then had a good laugh when i said far from it. We ended up talking for about 20 minutes.....got to say he's a great bloke.
As far as Tony Adams report....he has been throwing darts all over the place trying to nail a decent scoop for the last few years. He is one journo who is truly out of the loop. His reporting of Latrell being offered an olive branch return to the Roosters , a few hours before Robbo told Latrell they had no room for him in 2021, shows how hard he can throw a dart. Trying to join the dots to make a story is desperation
