Well let’s role with this one..
When kevvie flew down to see Reynolds on the weekend, it was actually to sign a contract and we are currently in the 10 day cooling off period…

Junior Kiwi five eighth Paul Turner has rejected the Broncos and signed with the Titans:






Warriors recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan:

“It’s unfortunate to lose Pauly as he’s been with us since 2018 and made his NRL debut with the club last year. His shoulder reconstruction has obviously ended his season and now it has ended his time with us. We made him a good offer which outweighed his new club’s deal but he and his support network believe his chances of playing NRL are greater elsewhere. While we are disappointed we thank Pauly for his contribution and wish him all the best for his future.”

McHunt

Also, is it good business to say you lost one of your players to another club but also say you offered more than they did? I mean, I get it from a salary cap point of view and making out as though you have a fair bit left in your cap but from a culture point of view, well I don't know.

It could be, the thought has crossed my mind too, we will find out in 7-8 days I guess.

There's an article out today about the roosters and walker and it actually makes some sense. Walker should be very gettable from the roosters.

Every game he comes out and kills it his value sky rockets. Its something they definitely didnt anticipate. They already have tefdy signed who would have to be very close to 1 million a year. Keary likewise would have to be 800k. Throw in Cordner, Manu, chrighton and JWH plus whatever they're paying that 17 year old whos never played a game yet.

Surely they cant afford to offer more then 500k a season for him?

Next year they need to replace both morris boys. They were apparently on minimum wage so to get players of their calibre into the wing and centres will cost them. I'm calling it now, money will lure this kid away purely because of the roosters cap position and how fast he's developed. The roosters simply cant match a 800k offer surely?

Also, why did the cow's go so hard after Dearden and not give walker a sniff?

I’m sure the titans will make an offer

After solemn thought these past few days, I'm convinced the Club needs to fall on the sword of its failed predecessors and go and offer a 5 year deal multi-million dollar deal to Sam Walker.
He should've always been a Bronco. With his family in Queensland I don't think it would be difficult to present an offer to turn his head making him the star of the Broncos rebuild.
I would prefer this than spending close to $1M on a DCE, Reynolds or SJ and then being in the exact same position in 2 years when they retire or dramatically dip in form with age.
Worst case we make Robinson and Uncle Nick sweat and they're forced to spend a few more 0's than they were intending.

It would be very difficult. maybe his next deal you could get him away but this one I think you're no chance.

I keep saying and have for six months but I am 100% sure they (Ben and Sam) will reward the loyalty and work done by the Roosters. I said it months ago.

He's 18 and living in Bondi with Charlotte Caslick and learning from Keary, Robinson and Tedesco even if he is only getting 400k a year for the next three years he's about 390k ahead on his mates and miles ahead in life.

Also the coaching aspect which I have said about- he won't go anywhere that won't improve his football.

Uncle Chris can tell him what it's like to go to a struggling club for double the money and want to leave straight away- what did he last at the Rabbits six games?

What "loyalty" have the Roosters shown? They gave him the royal treatment when touring him around their joint, and have had him contracted for a year or two now, but what "loyalty"? As far as I'm aware he has been treated the same as their revolving door of young halves, from Nikorima to Flanagan, and will be unceremoniously dumped unless he quickly becomes a superstar.

To be fair, he is well on track to being a superstar if he isn't already. It is funny though that no one gets linked to him despite the justified hype. Meanwhile Piakura, who hasn't played reserve grade or Walsh who is the same, get offered 4-500k contracts from opposition.

They've looked after him, last year when he moved down there recovering from a shoulder op, missing home, not playing any football and losing 10kg they took care of him- that carries weight with a family.

So does helping him work in his golf game.

Is this supposed to be allowed when his market value is clearly higher?

Genuine questions because I'm not sure how it works.

Would it be higher? He's a rookie 18 year old half who has never played rep football. I would think 400k would be more than fair maybe stepped up as the deal goes on but I wouldn't still have it ending at anymore than 500k.

His next deal will be the 800k one.

If there are multiple clubs offering him $800k at the end of this season then that would be his market value.

Watch Tapine also end up at the Roosters on unders after this fallout with Ricky ends.

I really like him, would love to see him here.

You know it will happen, TPJ too because he talked up SBW's influence on him.

So the NRL has greenlit a third team for Brisbane and is seeking expressions of interest. Here's my expression of interest: none.
