NRL 2021 transfer news: Connor Watson signs with Sydney Roosters

Some things need changing, like the current state and federal governments, but Coon cheese wasn't one of them.

Coon cheese needed name changing, and was.
All praise to the company.
CHEER cheese is a great name.
The current state and federal govts do not need changing.

sounds like connor did it the right way

To quote the great philosopher, Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, "well, that's like, your opinion, man."

Keighran has been elevated to the first grade starting side permanently.

For now. I can't agree with you that he'll be there when we get our full squad back.

Just heard Watson's presser on this. Interesting as it sounds like...
- Watson called Robbo as a mentor with no intention of being offered a contract. He had this discussion to check whether Robbo thought he should accept a Super League contract.
- After that chat, Robbo threw in a cheeky comment along the lines of 'I guess you're not looking to come back to Bondi?'
- Watson very quickly made the call that he'd return to Bondi.

A good news story IMO as (like many) he's left for the $$$ (as if anybody on here would knock-back $500k a season aged ~22), developed and then come back on what's still a respectable salary (~$300k a year).

I reckon it's players like this that win you the comp. Your big guns need to earn their $1m a season but if you pay $300k for a heap of players and they all play like they're on $600k (maybe in order to win their next pay bump - who cares why) then you very quickly start to dominate the comp.

Our man Waston is having a solid game so far tonight. A try assist and two line breaks both leading to points.

Ironic if he and Pearce knock us out in the first round of finals this year?

Rumour is he’s good mate will be following soon because he wants to win a Premiership. He’ll play for unders to be at a serious club.

KP said yesterday that he definitely won't be following Connor to Bondi, said his dream is to still win a comp in Newy so you can give up any hope on that one unfortunately

Gee they have underperformed Newcastle. On paper they are very strong but they have even been struggling to put away the lowest of teams. If i had to guess mayne the wraps.on Obrien were unwarranted??
