Player movements and rumours

    Reynolds to the tigers for a reported 950k a season. What a halves pairing that'll be hahaha
     
  2. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    That's a ridiculous amount to pay for a player of that quality.
     
  3. Julian BJ Taylor

    I seriously doubt the figure is accurate. Possibly accurate with TPA's for mine.

    Considering Dogs have signed Foran and Woods, I reckon they were only offering Reynolds 400 or so and Tigers have probably signed him for 750.

    I'm good with the signing at the right price; sounds like way too much though.
     
  5. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Aside from Cameron Smith I agree with Gus that there isn't a million dollar player out there. And that's only cause Smith could play til 38 and still be the best hooker in the game. Thurston ain't worth a mil a season. The figures around Moses, Reynolds etc. are absurd.

    Clubs are spending way too much without knowing what the cap will be.

    The 10 day cooling off period is ridiculous.

    The club who has signed the player and the player themselves can't say shit but everyone else involved like the club losing the player are allowed to announce it. Makes no sense.

    We end up with a situation like with Woods and Tedesco where the media have announced it 6 days ago but you've got Des Hasler coming out and denying it and James Tedesco coming out and denying it when the likely outcome seems to be that the signings will be announced early next week. Or in the case of Matulino and Moses the club losing the player announces it first.

    I'm not even sure what not allowing clubs to announce it achieves? It will always get leaked one way or another eventually....
     
  7. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Agreed. It's laughable to hear Kelly Egan say it sucks they're losing them, and then hearing Tedesco play dumb about leaving.
     
  8. Julian BJ Taylor

    Agreed with you 2.

    Fuck I love league but fuck she's a shambles for the most part.

    Wonder where Cronk ends up. Pretty much every Sydney side has their halves seemingly sorted apart from maybe the Bulldogs.
     
  10. Magic AJ Parker

    Dragons, Eels, Tigers and Souths will all have a go IMO.
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    More likely Manly and Newcastle the frontrunners IMO.
     
  12. Magic AJ Parker

    Manly maybe.

    Fuck driving 4hrs to Newcastle and back every day just get your ass kicked.
     
  13. AVA T Delonge

    With how the Tigers fans are acting, I'm shocked that they have players leaving...

    I think it's pretty rich of Tallis to criticise Woods for not "battling on" and so forth with a terrible club that never makes the finals. There is valid criticism of Woods but from Tallis, on this specific issue; a strong yearning to play at a successful club? I mean ffs cunt, it's easy for you to say that shit isn't it - In a 13 year career your team missed the finals, once. After playing in a GF with St. George, you jumped ship during the SL war to Brisbane who played in (and won) 3 grand finals. 4 GF's in one career is pretty uncommon.

    Fair enough he sat out a year, but Tallis one of the last people who should talk about sticking with a perennial losing club. How the fuck would he know what that's like?

    SKD -> Rehab

    Easiest way to get rid of the dead weight. See you later Shaun.
     
  16. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Admittedly I hate the cunt as a footballer but I hope Easts don't use this as an excuse to get rid of him. The guy has given 10 years to the club.

    Best joke I read was it's a shock to see SKD in possession of anything. lol
     
  17. GYR DW Lewis

    SKD must've misinterpreted Robbo's advice to focus on possession
     
  18. Magic AJ Parker

    I do feel for the bloke, he had his life flipped on its head by some low life bitch about a year ago and even though the case was dismissed and any half wit could tell he was innocent it has followed him around.

    But any promise he showed as a winger last year has quickly disappeared. He still needs to go unless he's willing to re-sign on a 18-25 player contract.
     
  19. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    lol now Bromwich and Proctor allegedly seen snorting coke after last night's match.

    I'm not surprised at all really. I mean we all should know these cunts are doing it all over the place just like in regular society. Why people care so much I don't know.
     
    Paddy and Cribbage like this.

    Cause it's illegal. Footy players are more famous so they get more exposure than Joe Average. They get away with more than regular people too.
