Give us Keary you cnts

one head knock from retirement no thx

 

[Doggiezbrah]

I'd give him the $700K if he becomes a premier forward bro.

His 30 minutes off the bench is still more effective than Thompson who plays 50-60 minutes per game lol.

 

[Harry Oz]

I feel for you bro, your parents were disappointed in you and now your kids feel the same about you too.

You’re an arse motorboater

 

[Mackdoggies]

Seems strange if he is such good friends with Critta.

 

[bradyk]

one head knock from retirement no thx

Worth the risk considering what we have and what's available. If he retires we get it all back in the cap anyways. Brett Kimmorley type signing.

 

[LordSidious66]

Would laugh my head off if he signs with us at the last minute.

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Was hoping he’d sign with us. Going to be a menace for years to come.

How is that an insult?

Kid has huge wraps on him, has never really kicked on. Like others have said his impact off the bench is great. If he can transition it to 55-60 mins a game starting is a question that has never been answered. Sad to see him not coming to belmore but not the end of the world.

We do have a few guys coming through that can be ready for 1st grade this year or definitely by next year. I have been a Tanner fan for a while. Reminds me of a lesser version of Tolman. Fair enough wont be a rampaging front rower but will make his hit ups and be solid defensivley. If Pangai can step up and lock up a starting prop spot. Then we will need 4-5 younger props to fill the bench spots and be ready in case of injury or suspension. If Thompson has a big year who know he might be extended. Then we have a project in Pele and the likes of Davey and Sutton too.

Spencer Leniu is set to sign with a rival NRL club after the Panthers confirmed the star prop will depart the club at the end of the season.

Leniu has been in talks over his future with the Bulldogs being very interested suitors. However, the Roosters entered the conversation after missing out on Thomas Flegler’s signature.

Leniu has emerged as one of the best props in the game but is stuck behind Penrith’s starters in James Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota.

The 22-year-old has won two premierships with Penrith and represented Samoa in the Rugby League World Cup.

The Bulldogs have already poached Panthers centre Stephen Crichton for 2024 and beyond and are hopeful of landing Leniu too

However, the Roosters are preparing for life after Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and have identified Leniu as their next target.

“Although it’s disappointing to see a Panthers junior sign with another NRL club, we understand Spencer is a premiership winner and international player, who has received external interest,” Panthers’ football manager Matt Cameron said.

“Panthers thanks Spencer for his efforts for the club and is looking forward to seeing him run out for the Panthers for the remainder of the 2023 NRL season.”

To do what? He's one concussion away from retirement!

To play halfback and mentor Burton who obviously needs it

He would last half a season before getting concussed, no thanks. I can't in my heart sign a player who should already have been forced to retire. He wouldn't be cheap either!

Gus thinks he's a top 5 halfback. He's on reportedly 850k with Rooster and we could probably get them to chip in 100k or so. 2 year contract low risk considering how much we have to spend for 2024 and what's available. From what I'm seeing it's going to be difficult to spend it all. NAS only player really worth pursing off contract now Leniu's gone (and that's 1/3 of what we have to spend).

Keary for half a season gets us more wins than Flanno has in 2 seasons lol

I wouldn't even want to pay half that amount and that's only if it's for 1 year not 2. These concussions are no joke and he's already had a head knock this season and it's been going what 4 weeks? Rather go after a fullback or a prop than a halfback, we have just signed the Broncos kid.

Probably but a dead monkey would too, doesn't mean we should pay 850k plus for Keary who is one injury away from retirement
