Official Corey Allan released

[Bulldog1966]

What club is this motherfucker joining?

Hopefully whatever one..you follow.

Good to see him gone but "motherfucker"really?
You clown.

 

[CroydonDog]

I didn't really know that much about him when he joined the club (these days i get to see so little non digs games or those analysis/chat shows about footy, but though well, he's played SoO, he must be quality. Obviously I was wrong.

 

[Bulldog1966]

If anyone says "watch Allan kill it at the Roosters" they deserve a lifetime ban.

Nice veiled dig at the Gun there mate

 

[Taylforth]

Roosters have been signing absolute crud recently. Jake Turpin, Corey Allan, Jaxson Paulo too.

Frankly don’t call a one year contract @ Roosters, resurrecting his career in NRL. Obviously no-one bashing down the door to get him. Not a ringing endorsement of Allan.

 

[Dingo]

Good decision. Never really fitted in, and was on way too much coin for someone of his ability.

"Kill it At The Roosters" - What, Like Renouf Atoni Did???

 

[Papa Joe]

Would be interesting to see how much freight we pay.

If he was on $500k this year I would estimate we would chip in something in the vicinity of $490k - $495k

Pay a portion of his wage to the Roosters is a good deal - Green Backs straight out of the Laundy Pub Tills & into brown paper bags & delivered straight into the hands of Uncle Nick.

Money Talks & Bullshit Walks -
We paid the Money & The Bullshit Walked, he walked straight out of our precinct & right over to Rosters HQ.
We wish him well.

Since we beat the Chooks in the 2004 grand final, they have signed half a dozen of our biggest names, O'Meley, Anasta, Mason, etc, but the only one who gave them his best seasons was Sonny Bill, who didn't go direct from us to them. The others were all on the downward slide when they left us. For all of the roosters brown paper bags and salary sombreros, they do not have a good record of recruiting our players.

He really just had that purple patch as a fill in for a few games on the end of a great souths backline, then a half-decent origin game which he really only played as last man standing. Fooled Barrett that's for sure. Bennett happily released him twice, from the Bronco's and then Souths (even after he played origin). I really can't believe Robinson signed him but I'm very grateful.

 

[EB18]

What's the club thinking? I know his been injured and out of form. But on his day his a top 5 fullback. People tend to forget he lead souths to the GF and was man of the series in origin.

 

[Dogs2004]

Love your work Gus, Next Flanagan please

 

[Lynchpin]

What's the club thinking?

Something along these lines, I would think.
He's been injured a lot, and is still injured I understand (although expected to be fit for the new season).
He's very well paid (overpaid most might say - including me) and absorbs more of the cap than his perceived value to our roster (and I wouldn't disagree with that assessment at all), and it is considered that that position is unlikely to change.
From that perspective, it was decided we could better use the roster spot, and whatever cap money we could recover could be spent more wisely on alternative talent.

Nate Myles was an exception and peaked at the Chooks. Anasta was still decent and made some big clutch plays and got them to the 2010 GF but Ogre and Mason were well past their best at the Chooks as you said.

You can't be serious. You think he's better than 3 of the following: Teddy, Turbo, Edwards, Mitchell, Paps, Ponga, Clint
I'm sure there are other FB in the comp better than him as well.
