Isn't this just beautiful:

Off-contract Sydney Roosters lock forward Victor Radley has reportedly made a decision about his future as rival clubs circle.

Despite interest from around the league and the fact he's free to negotiate, the local junior has already told his management company to get a deal done that keeps him in the Eastern suburbs without testing his worth on the market.

“We love Victor, and Victor loves the club,” Roosters chairman Nick Politis told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“His manager (Sam Ayoub of Ultra Management Sports) called me and said Victor wants to do a deal and didn't want to play the market.

That's right, Matt Lodge is willing to stay on a train and trial deal, Radley is happy to take whatever he can get despite being in his prime and Crichton is happy to take a pay cut despite being an Aussie rep in the prime of his career. Walker also happy to extend on either the same contract or slightly upgraded one. They also somehow managed to get Canterbury to cover most of Alan's contract.

Also, let's not forget they were in salary cap tightness not so long ago with the only thing changing, Atoni going to the Super League. Nothing sus at all.

Meanwhile, our only two Aussie reps both cry to the media wanting more money on already more than fair contracts.

I wonder what Victor will do when he retires. Car salesman? Real estate agent? Part time golfer? Flipping houses at huge profits?

Couldn't be bothered going back through the pages but just heard on the Bloke in a Bar live show that Danny Levi is going to the Raiders.

Fox sports reporting that there are 5 clubs (they don't say who) that are interested in Taupau ... but they can't make an offer until the salary cap is sorted for next season

I hope we're one of them. Would love him on a 1 year deal.

S Crichton is missing in the back row, but otherwise that's one helluva team.

Angus Crichton, but he's out for the first match so that's why he isn't named.

In saying that, Sitili is out until mid-season so they made an error there as well.

Manu in danger of missing out? I guess this poorly researched article justifies Manu being on minimum wage as a fringe first grader.
Agree not spot on but a few posters were talking about the Chooks and just thought this helps put things in perspective.
