News Transfer bombshell: NRL’s highest-paid prop requests release

[Kempsey Dog]

Manly moved Keppie and are looking to move Aloiai, wouldnt be surprised if this is the reason

Schuster and others on huge coin and they offered Olokauatu a massive deal. I'd say they wouldn't have the space. DCE, Turbo and now Brooks taking up alot of $

Interesting information found when trying to see if there really is a Gus connection. His original contract with NZ ended this year, but he extended another 5 years, just last year. Bit of a worry aye, that he’s now wanting out after signing a very long extension. Second club he’s requested a release from too.

We don’t know the details. Maybe he has sick family members? Maybe his missus or kids are struggling?

RFM and JAC for AFB i would do

 

[Heckler]

Gus has been holding out knowing this was coming. He has a relationship with AFB and got him to the Warriors initially.

He’ll be a Bulldog in 2024 guaranteed.

Guaranteed???

 

[jake6]

Tatola maybe

Hope not he is a legit bender. Source the dude he is getting pumped by

Ban if this doesn’t happen

Hopefully the off season miracle we’ve been hoping for.

 

[Shnissss]

Dragons have a competent coach and infinitely better pack. They are much closer to finals than we are. You guys need to think with your heads and not your hearts. He'd be mad to come here while Ciraldo is at the helm. Ciraldo would probably play him as an edgy lol

You’re joking or trolling. One of the two.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Imagine how pissed you’d be if you were a once weres fan. They’ve have a great season probably their best since Ivan coached them and then their best forward asks for a release.

Didn’t he ask for a release when he was at Manly also??

 

[Sir dogeth style]

surely we are bound to get our hands on him if he is released

 

[bowleggedwog]

We just need to match it as he is home sick

I don’t think he is allowed to ask for a release and get more. It thinks that’s a rule plus should be less as nz is more expensive than aus to live . Let’s use the QLD rule lol

 

[D0GMATIC]

My hopes are up … got to invest your hope sometimes, we get this it’s a huge win for the club, in a period of not a lot doing.

It has certainly spiced up the offseason

 

[D.O.W.]

Through process of elimination, the only clubs that make sense are the Bulldogs and Dragons (either due to no need for him, cap pressure or both).

Eels, Panthers, Roosters - all sorted for middle forwards & under cap pressure.
Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles, Sharks - could use him but under cap pressure.
Tigers - already have enough money locked up in forwards (Klemmer, Stefano, Papalii, Bateman, Twal). Will focus on getting a half.

It leaves just the Dogs and the Dragons with both the cap space for him + the need for him. I think Dragons would overpay for him as they are the more desperate.

If it’s between Dogs and Dragons, the Dragons have shown their hand with the big money play for Manu…

 

[GoTheDoggies]

I wonder if AFB will bottle his release like Benny Hunt

 

[Flanagun]

You’re joking or trolling. One of the two.

Dragons have a premiership winning coach. We have an untried rookie who had his team conceding 34 points per game in his first year. What makes you assume we are in a better position?

Tweet saying his Mum is not well. ....and that they live in CB District?

Reasonable relationship with the warriors in general. Gus helped them by taking Curran . . . Maybe now they can help us

So he's from the area??

 

[wendog33]

So he's from the area??

Another tweet saying he grew up in Moorebank but others claiming he is a Rabbitoh junior and others saying he is a St George/Dragons jnr?
