Rumoured Signings

Michael Jennings is on the outer because Gus wanted him to take a big pay cut and he basically told him to get fucked!.

Far out if Lachlan Coote does leave it's the dumbest mistake by the club since hiring Matt Elliott. He's a highly skilled fullback, brought up through the Penrith ranks and hasn't reached his peak yet. As much as I love Flash at fullback, he doesn't have as many years left as Coote does in the tank. The only bright side I can get out of Coote's departure is the opportunity for Matthew Moylan to star in first grade.

But seriously, Gus would look like an idiot if he let Coote go. He's letting go of too many players and signing players like Armit and Ciraldo. Come on Gus...

I don't think Jenko would be leaving. Though if he does, it won't bother me as much as Coote's potiental departure. Too inconsistent and is eating up our salary cap.

And,Lewis obviously won't leave...

I keep hearing Jennings is rumoured with Parra?
Then again, every player is linked to Parra.

I guess it's not 100% confirmed because Salford hasn't confirmed it but McPherson tweeted that it was a done deal. So maybe right thread to put it in or maybe not. Oh well.

Todd Carney > ESL

Would he even get a working visa? Players have had trouble in the past and Todd is the worst of the lot. Please stay Sad

There is no possible way I can see him getting a Visa!. Michael Crocker got rejected over one DUI charge which led him to Souths instead of Hull FC.

Yeah mate just been reading up on it and he'd be based in France which is fine but i don't think he'd be able to travel for games in England which seems a waste since they'd be paying abit for him. It's rumoured he'll stay for a year sort himself out and if all goes to plan come back to us in 2013.

Carney already tried to go to England when he left Canberra. He's been linked to France though. Crockers visa was denied for a guilty plea for fighting/affray.

Ben Ross keen to go back either to the Panthers or the Sharks after the Rabbitohs decided not to resign him.

Guru Posts : 3093 Location : Sydney

Ben Ross? YES PLEASEE

Will cover for the loss of Petero and Matt. Plenty of experience and will do our younger props in the lower grades a world of good.

I think the Rabbitohs were at disagreement on the length of the contract and he wanted a little more then what we could afford.

We would of loved to of kept him and obviously have Luke Burgess who can fill the void.

Keep hearing rumours that Cronulla are still trying to get Mick Gordon for the 2013 season on a lucrative offer. PISS OFF SHARKS!!

Guru Posts : 3093 Location : Sydney

Greg Bird to Cronulla.
Darcy Lussick and Will Chambers to Panthers.
Matt Orford to anywhere but Canberra.

And on other forums it says that Craig Wing is linked to Souths and Michael Jennings to Salford. Don't think either would happen, but time will tell.
