    Thanks morgie :)

    I thought your James Nixon rap was legendary by the way. And thought his reaction unfair.

    This was literally more than half a lifetime ago, lol. Amazed Hurricane remembers it.

    Staines stays at Penrith.

    Not much on the market for struggling clubs to rebuild their rosters this year, again looks like it will be another quiet transfer season.

    More likely that overseas players come home citing covid drama as the reason.
     
  8. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Quite a few players a bunch of shit clubs should be targeting. Folau would get huge dollars

    Regardless of how the next fortnight goes, next years looking pretty promising for Penrith, great depth with Burton and Staines sticking around.

    Sad to see Tamou going, but I don't mind Penriths prop stocks. Elsewhere I can't see how they'll re sign Tyrone May.

    Its really crystal ball stuff from there but Staines and To'o being signed until 2023 while Dylan Edwards until 2022 makes me think he'll be elsewhere, bar signing for peanuts to stay together.

    Then again who the fuck knows, I'm sure I remember RCG signing a 4 year deal or similar shortly before he was gone to Parra.

    I actually think Green-Moylan could be a really good combination if you ignore their injuries. I know Green doesn't have a bad history with them, but ACL at 34 is pretty dire, and Moylan barely exists at all anymore.

    Lafai and Beale are basically the same player with the same strengths and weaknesses. If anything I rate Lafai slightly higher.

    I swear that's a troll article. Like basically everything the Dogs shouldn't do was recommended.

    I'm genuinely surprised Beale still exists, lol

    If you were the Roosters and looking at 2021, would you think about having a crack at Benji?

    They were so close this year with Flanagan offering next to nothing. I'm wondering if they were to get Friend and the Morris twins for one more year, is it worth having someone like Benji on that right edge, either first choice or nipping at Flanagans heals? Keary seems happy to run the show and Benji would be great to just inject himself here and there and provide a bit of variety.


    Or do they look at their squad and think they really need to look to the future a bit, take what will come next year with an eye to bringing through some younger outside backs, Lussick at hooker and back Flanagan in at 7?

    Sam Verrills splits the minutes at dummy half with Friend for mine. I don't think we can afford to leave him in reserve garde next year, he's just too good someone will snap him up and he's a couple of levels above Lussick in terms of potential for mine.

    And Sam Walker, young kid who just turned 18 will finish next season in the halves just depending on whether Keary plays the 6 or 7 role.

    The spots of contention for the Roosters will be right edge backrow as Crichton really struggles with the technical side of the game there and has been an absolute beast at lock forward but you're not going to split minutes between Radley and Crichton so that's just a huge headache for Robinson.

    We also looked a front rower short all season, didn't help that Liu had to cover for Radley but at the same time one player shouldn't expose us so badly. JWH, SST, Collins and Liu is still such a good first 4 just barely anything of note after that. Not sure if Robbo will go back into the market or back himself to develop some kids.

    Borris and Jorris both tipped to play on for another season.

    Tedesco looking like he wants a longer extension than Roosters willing to offer. I've never thought he'd finish his career at the Roosters, a 5 year deal for an outside back who'll be 28 next season doesn't seem super Roostery to me, have always thought he'd end up an Eel/Tiger/Titan/Dragon to finish.

    Think Tigers or similar would try and come up with some kind of 6 year huge deal to attempt to lure him back and would it be a good move?

    Can anyone see a universe where the Roosters would let him go early? I've wondered how their Sunbrero is looking going forward, Zero tackle reckons they've got Crichton tied up on a million a season for another couple of years and Keary on big bikkies.

    Tedesco won’t leave but I can see the Roosters hesitation in signing a fullback until they are 34.

    I’m not sure it’s a money play for Tedesco, I think he wants to lock himself into a high performing environment for as long as possible so I don’t see him moving to a club like the Eels/Titans/Dragons. There’s romanticism around going back to the Tigers but I could see that happening in the back end of his career not his prime ala Benji but I hope not, it’s almost slightly disrespectful to the Tigers fans if he did.

    And lol @ Crichton being on 1mil. Only a sunbrero fan would believe that shit.

    A quick google and the Australian reckons he's on 2.7mil over 3 years:

    The story and bitterness behind the Angus Crichton saga is ridiculous I guess only Roosters/Souths fans would know the story to be fair.

    But yeh Angus Crichton is not our highest paid player these numbers were so far off the mark and dismissed a long time ago.

    Tedesco would potentially be welcomed back now but there's no chance he could do some Benji farewell tour type thing. He's not nearly enough of a Tigers legend, or even a Tigers legend really.
