Player movements and rumours

Discussion in 'The Cesspit: Rugby League Discussion' started by Julian, Apr 7, 2009.

  1. Magic AJ Parker

    Todd Carney will return to Australia next year, unclear whether the NRL would register a contract for him if a club did want him though. Could end up playing reserves in the NSW Cup.

    Also heard Matagi might head to the Broncos otherwise his only other offers are from the UK.

    Makes no sense.
     
  3. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Matt Lodge -> Redcliffe

    Gun.
     
  4. Toolman TR Man

    isn't that the guy who is facing prison in the US?
     
  5. Magic AJ Parker

    Was, ended up doing some community service. Although the victims are still trying to sue him for 2 million dollars I believe. No chance the NRL will be registering him until all of that gets sorted.
     
  6. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Dodds back to Broncos.
     
  7. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    It's okay if the cunt was real cheap. He's just washed up but who knows what playing under Bennett may do...
     
  8. Ged GEC King

    I don't think Benji is all that bad. He's suffered playing as a halfback in one of the worst teams in the comp. I think for 200k he'd be a brilliant buy for any number of clubs.
     
  9. Magic AJ Parker

    Damien Cook re-signs with Souffs until 2019.
     
  10. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Woah, did not see that one coming at all.
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    Who does that leave Cronulla with?
     
  12. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I think they're talking to Parcell. If that doesn't work out they'll be left with Brown and Brailey (reckon they'd probably play both if it got to that).
     
  13. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Cook resigning is fucking gun for Souths and massively AIDS for Cronulla. Old man is happy.
     
  14. Julian BJ Taylor

    I really can't agree with this. I thought this when he was pretty ordinary on return, and even when the Dragons somehow weren't horrible in '15 it had very little to do with Marshall.

    He was absolutely horrendous in 2016 and I'm not buying it was 'because he had to play halfback' at all. SFA footy teams play with a genuine halfback now anyway and the Dragons definitely weren't. He was just completely bereft of any attacking nous and looks like he'd struggle to beat home Trent Merrin in a 40 metre match race.
     
  15. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Marshall used to be deceptively quick. In his prime he's one of the fastest halves I've seen. It's weird because he's only 31 but these days he is slow as fuck. His ball playing ability has always been overrated but you can see it for what it is now because his creativity relied a lot on his running game and speed. He's nothing like Thurston or Johns who used vision and change of angles, but he's often seen as a similar type of player due to his natural skill. He's very washed up now.
     
  16. Magic AJ Parker

    Yep Marshall is the type of player who was never going to age well. Hammy injuries in his early 30's isn't a good sign either.

    I think its fucking hilarious though that he made a big song and dance about knocking back the Dragons 300k offer because he refused to sign for unders and knew his worth only to sign for the Broncos on fuck all.
     
  17. Magic AJ Parker

    Apparently they've signed Cherrington as well.
     
  18. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Ah yeah I forgot about that.
     
  19. Julian BJ Taylor

    Who's far from a first grader.
     
  20. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Hope Parcell does go there. He'd be a good fit and he's far too good to be playing Reggies at Manly.
