Player movements and rumours

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

  1. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Unrelated I've heard he may play for Samoa at the World Cup too. Would add a bit of class to their spine; they've got a good pack but the Roberts/Tuimavave/M.Wright/Isoefa spine is definitely a bit shit. They're also trying to get permission to play Joseph Paulo after he, for some reason, agreed to play for the USA in their World Cup qualifiers.

    Raiders fans are almost all screaming conspiracy theory. Lel.
     
  4. Toolman TR Man

    I think his brother played for them so he decided to join him and play in the same team as well? Can't see any other reason.

    And are there even any rules anymore for switching?
     
  5. Cribbage RG Cribb

    At the start of each World Cup cycle there are no rules for switching at all, and that's when Paulo switched from Samoa to USA. Players are permitted to swap once more before each World Cup as well but they have to get permission - which basically just means you can play for whoever the fuck you like in the World Cup and not have it affect who you play for before or after it.

    So is there still a chance Hayne will play for Fiji?
     
  7. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah I think so, but they may have to declare their intention to swap before Australia actually names a squad or something, not sure on the timeline.

    Rumours are it's Paterson & Wallace.
     
  9. Old Mate M Perry

    Devastation.
     
  10. Toolman TR Man

    Pat Richards? They already signed him for next year didn't they?
     
  11. Andato BJT Manera

    Corey maybe
     
  12. Harry Sack SB Slippy

    As far as I'm aware, the CEO has denied it.
     
  13. Benny BS Read

    Blake Austin and Cory Paterson are the two players according to NRL Gossip. They just posted it as if its official.
     
  14. Lukic L Popovic

    Glad we picked up Austin, we're a bit thin on undersized backrowers.
     
  15. Alec AD Funkotron

    Would be pretty sweet if Norman and Wallace ended up being Parra's halves next year.
     
  16. BMT BMT Con

    Could be Joe Picker.

    *In before Julians rant about how devastating Austin will be for them*

    How the hell is Willie Tonga one of the 'Marquee players off contract'.

    Has he made a line break in 5 seasons?
     
  19. Alec AD Funkotron

    He won a series with QLD, and if MF says that's all you need to be a marquee star player, I believe him.
     
  20. Toolman TR Man

    He also once played a good game in 2004.
