The reason why Turpin didn't come is because we didn't offer enough money and/or a starting position. I don't buy the rest. This is going to be the case (and has been) with almost every player we look at until that changes which I believe has to and will. The longer we wait the more panicked I'll be as every month that goes by less players are available.
Cotric and Mahoney would be next level recruitment, would be enormous to land those 2.
i reckon turpin is overrated, glad we didnt get him.
There were better hookers to go for. He's better than what we have (probably isn't hard). I personally like him but I don't think he's a top hooker or anything.
Foran was a catastrophic fuck up and said so at the time, I wouldn't be using him to try and justify any future signings lol
Lol come on bro the only comparison i’m making is one guy was in a wheel chair we paid a fair chunck or cap for and the other is at the opposite end of his career. Once again $1.2m is probably be a bit much but the guy could be anything and we have a hole there now. I wouldn’t be buying halves only a hooker so we can afford it.
He could be anything but at the end of the day he'd still be an edge forward and there's only so much and edge forward can do for us. I just see a far greater return for us of we invest our money elsewhere.
How would that be remotely possible? Even with all of their cheating? What are they going to say now.. "We released Ryan Hall so we have enough room for Fifita on 800k plus another Origin player.."
Clearly Politis is running the NRL that much now that even the Rorters cheating doesn't need to be hidden. Getting more obvious every year now! As far as I'm concerned the last 15 years has been with a cloud over them.
lol puhlease, he's been linked to us since last year - https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...s/news-story/8f3277ff4a1fc8f00deb2fa2f2886eea
That's not what his father told me. He said he would go where the money is next, as he isn't on much now. Steve Price has been getting in his ear.
Crichton needs to be the best you paid him like he is to move from Souths !!
once the old **** is gone it will be over... look at the chooks when they werent allowed to cheat... fucking takarangi, mickey paea, arona and heaps of dud players and they sucked ass. sooner or later their shit will unravel... could take 1 year could take 50 or more... but we all knew strom were cheating and this club has a similar stench
I don't agree about the when Politis is gone thing. He is clever enough to get the right person in a position to continue his dynasty, not to forget that Ch9 has another fanatical Rooster supporter on their board.
