Recruitment

[ChookMaster]

All the talk always with us - we get who we want. We’re the glamour club. Well, we’re losing a bunch of boys to rugby at the end of the season along with the already departures of Manu & JS.

We’ve been rejected by Max & Tino the last few days and now to top it off our biggest rivals have gone and signed Haas. The biggest you could get.

Sickening signing but what has happened to our structure and recruitment? Why were we never in the picture ?

Sickening.

Not even Haas can save the vermin.

Forever bottom 8.

Only Souths would publicly make a statement about having signed a player before it’s actually official. Such a rubbish classless organisation.

Happy to stand corrected 13 but didn't we announce the signing of David Fifita before he backed out of the deal during the 10 day cooling off period?

[Chook2]

Seriously how the hell would souffs have money for haas?
this will be a big miss for us if they get him
they currently have
gray $600k
Graham $700k
Wighton $800k
Latrell -$1m
Walker $800k
plus Murray, Fifita, cheese and arrow all on big coin and now haas for id say well over $1m

Incorrect. Wighton is on $1m this year. Fact.
Walker is not on $800k. Nowhere near.

I have a business partner heavily involved with Souths.

If we did we shouldn’t have. Look what happened there.

They did just lose Keon… but yeah I have no idea myself. They pounced so fast after losing him I will admit.

Mitchell granted an early release and back to the Roosters in 2027 imo.

Billy Smith keeping his seat warm

The fact that you're so connected 13 is very sexy.

Latrell is a big reason why Haas is going there.
