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

[GUSLER]

Have they?
There is some logic to us getting him. Cap space. Etc.
But all western media has come out and said saints are in the box seat with the tigers not far behind.

I think an RFM swap makes us favourable for the warriors

 

[D.O.W.]

have you seen Titan forward pack ?

I think the Titans biggest issue is focus…young blokes living on the Gold Coast with more money at their disposal than they can handle is their Achilles heel.

Aside from the fact he would be a massive signing it’s pretty shit that you can build a team around a marquee player, lock them down with a huge long term deal and then they can renege.

Even worse is if they end up at a top 4 team.

If there was one thing the NRL could do to make it a more equitable competition they should enforce a rule that players who break contracts cannot end up in the top sides!

Stupid take. Firstly this rarely happens and like all contracts they can be changed if both sides agree to it.

 

[D.O.W.]

That’s like saying if you gave me $1000 I could potentially become a millionaire

Let’s be honest, I wouldn’t give you anything.

 

[Dogiezz]

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

The coach who signed Flanagun... competent coach haha
Much closer to finals haha

Dragons sacked him haha

How do you consistently type up such garbage.

i know. At first I thought he was a troll, but he is too frequent and spends too much time here

 

[Kiwipup]

AFB hasn't requested a release without having agreed with another club

 

[Gene Krupa]

So wants to be closer to parents but is in England for a month.

can’t take a holiday to unwind and take your mind off things?

 

[Bulldogs09]

Just to put a little perspective on this situation..
I just found out today that my dad has bladder cancer and it has thrown my world into a spin..
Even the brand new car I bought yesterday means nothing right now..
So if his parents are in a serious health situation and he needs an immediate release..the last thing he would be thinking about is his next potential club..
Don’t expect this to be decided and resolved in a few days..
He would be solely focused on his family right now..
Respect the reason for a release guys and understand his priorities right now..

Good luck with your dad mate

And if they take a turn for the worse, takes 24 hours to get to Australia.

 

[bricktamland]

Worth over a million. Him and king with a back row of kikau Preston and Curran at 13 changes things big

 

[Shnissss]

Oh come on @Flanagun they have a hooker playing as a half and a failed half that tried to transition to hooker in NSW Cup, playing as their other half!

Never argue with an idiot. They always drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience

 

[GA45]

Some in the Kennel would complain if we signed Cleary bro

Only the usual idiots

 

[capt obvious]

I reckon manly will be our biggest threat, they have offloaded keppie and josh alioa is not being resigned.

I would be very surprised if they could afford him.

Then throw in the likes of Garrick, Koula, Sabb who were all sought after in the market.

Warriors attempt to convince Addin Fonua-Blake to reverse release request in Zoom meeting

But the Warriors are still hopeful of retaining Fonua-Blake, who ironically signed with them from Manly also on compassionate grounds - or getting a top-class forward in exchange.

One official from a Sydney club interested in signing Fonua-Blake told Wide World of Sports, "It's no guarantee they will release him".

"They want an equivalent trade. There are not many options available to them.

"They are Zooming with Fonua-Blake from England tonight (Thursday) and the general feeling is that he will stay in New Zealand for at least another 12 months."

It's no way a chance that manly get get him. They have to be only signing minimum squad members with that list of players

To be fair if he was leaving on compassionate grounds, he won't be sticking around for 12 months let alone pre season... I think that's the warriors trying to cool down the media
