Thats weak all the trouble when they can just sign addo carr and keep chn or trade him for another c***
Agree if that’s the case, but doesn’t make it not a possibility. Also by all reports JAC is headed to Souths so we can’t just say sign addo carr.

Very impressed by Jaydens comments. Has taken full responsibility for his actions. Made no excuses. So often players fuck up and straight away blame someone else, alcohol, or blame it on mental health. He hasn't done that... I commend him. He has talent, he can be something special with the right coaching, right halves. Hope he stays and redeems himself.

I was dirty on Okunbor but at least the kid has owned it.

My thoughts on him as a player have always been he’s big, strong, athletic, all things that can’t be taught. If taught the finer skills like defense and good decision makings then He could become something special. Young and worth a punt.

His kick reception had improved a lot towards the back end of the year in my opinion. And it wasn't him alone responsible for poor defence out wide. He's got plenty of upside to his game.
Genuinely hope so...I'm more referring to attack. Have watched a lot of CC and its an issue.

More talks next week after Barrett is confirmed?
Sounds positive to me..
Wouldn’t he have just cut the cord today if there was no doubt in his mind
It will take the appointment of a coach and a call meeting etc to convince him to stay
The reason why knockonbur is staying is no club wants to touch him

whereas as chn has up to 5 Incl tigers as of this arvo
Lawrence
Mcqueen
Packer
Chee kham
Marshall

all going
They have cash to splash

You make a good point - if CHN is contracted beyond next year other clubs are not able to make offers. Or am I misunderstanding the nrl rules.
There’s rules for some clubs and rules for others
Surely u guys are aware of this by now

where do u think the line “its only illegal if you get caught” came from
Nrl!!!

The thing in our favour with CHN is all the clubs chasing him are shithouse (like us). If the Roosters, Eels, Panthers or Storm were after him, then he might leave but the other teams, including the Raiders, are fringe top 8 sides (some might disagree but I'm not convinced the Raiders are a perennial top 4 side yet).
I think, or should I say hope, next year with a few smart recruitments and a new coach, we could be at the level of those other teams so it would be a sideways move for CHN. Better to stay here and be part of the rebuild

The board needs to be up front about this, go to the NRL with all the media about other clubs being interested in CHN, and tell them to start handing out notices. If the NRL doesn't do anything than get on the front foot and hold a press conference with Lynn reading out the relevant law and issuing a hands off warning.

Not because that will actually work, but it will spin the media our way and make it harder for CHN to leave without us first getting something decent in exchange.

Okunbors profile pic on Instagram is now of him in his bulldogs jersey, so he’s definately staying. Nothing on chn yet though, hopefully he stays.

CHN needs to call his mother and ask for her advice on what he should do. From the small amount I know of her she would tell him to own up to his mistakes, apologise and work hard to win back everyone’s respect. Then he needs to look his son in the eyes and tell him the same.
