And now the Roosters have signed Spencer Leniu.

2 year deal.

No way! This is just a joke. But of course, from an NRL perspective, nothing to see here.

This is so blatant now. Even though it has always been a rort they could cloud it when they were signing elite players from shit clubs saying they will play for less to be at a great club. Panthers are the best club in the competition so what’s the excuse now?

JWH would be retiring soon you'd think, the uncertainty around both Keary and Angus. Likely frees up 90% of their salary cap so I don't see the problem guys.

Kind of torn because **** the Roosters but also **** Penrith?

JWH will turn into Haas + more cash to sign someone like Harry Grant.

Does seem like the Roosters bring something more to the table than just the opportunity to always play finals footy. When was the last time they lost a first team player or junior talent they wanted to keep?

Even the Storm and Panthers can't hold onto everybody, which is telling.

No matter how you slice it you are going to have ways to game a salary cap and perpetual winners and losers, no perfect solution. Not sure how to fix that.

Get rid of it

Guaranteed third party deals without guaranteeing them I'd say. Players talk.

Latrell Mitchell but that's it. Plus whoever they go after they get, it just doesn't matter what they offer, they get them. Should be so many red flags for the NRL but they are too dumb to see them.

Buzz and Brent Read valued the Roosters at more then $4 mill than the Dragons and $2 million over the cap. But of course, no suggestion the Roosters are over the cap. It's the culture, the vibe, Mabo is how they're keeping the band together.

Lol... only $4m... I'd say $4m over the cap and far exceeding the Dolphins roster at the moment

Had to rewatch the clip to get the intent of this

That’s assuming they have got the quote wrong, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mail said 23rd year.
