2024 NRL Player Movements & Rumours

[Sproj]

Is this a 'journalist' putting 2 + 2 together and getting 6?

And they can go after Walsh all they want, every club will be, makes no difference. If he wants to be a Bronco, he will be a Bronco. If he doesn't, so be it.

 

[Bucking Beads]

He's under contract until 2027 and its probably a decent one. Be interesting to see if they could fit him in their cap even with Val leaving.

You'd think the Dolphins wouldn't release him anyway.

No idea but a journalist was asking Todd Payten about Hammer and that he might want to go back to Townsville

I wouldnt think so, unless he's so unhappy he wants to be back closer to home they might. Could be they ask for a suitable player in part exchange.

Imagine they ask for Purdue...

This is NRL gossip columning 101 - ask the coach in a way that he will say yeah we'd love to have him back but he is contracted and so no point entertaining it.

Nek minut headline says: Wantaway Dolphin on Cowboys' Lasso

Stupidity (from a career progression POV) from hammer if he leaves the phins to play centre at the cows. Stupidity from the cows to go after him on big money after just solving a massive cap issue (Val on a mil at centre) when they need a half back badly.

EDIT: good for Broncos fans watching both clubs cripple themselves by doing it. The Phins will no doubt chuck big bickies (again) at one of our blokes if it happens. So much for them not cannibalising the Broncos.

Unless the plan is Drinkwater into the halves

Unless the plan is Drinkwater into the halves

They've tried that before and Drinkwater is a turnstile in defence in the front line.

Utoikamanu joins the Storm.

So...
Munster 1 million+
Grant 1 million+
Hughes 900k+
Paps 900k
Welch 600k?
NAS 800k+
Howarth reportedly on 500k+
Faalogo recently re-signed and upgraded
Coates re-signed and upgraded

Add in this guy - nothing suss here at all folks because they released R.Smith.

Great to see the salary cap continuing to work:

Young - team finally on the up Knights -> Roosters
Papalii - Bottom placed Tigers -> Panthers
Talagi - Struggling Eels -> Panthers (rumoured)
Coates - Bottom tabled Broncos -> Storm
Utoikamanu - Bottom tabled Tigers -> Storm

The system works.

We must be so poor at managing our cap

Well this is what happens when you apply a something to be your sole mechanism to level the playing field that was designed and only works when it is a supplement to a draft system.

But hey, Terry Hill had to have a massive fucking sook and challenge the draft so this is what we have now.

 

[BroncosFever]

Wonder how much Melbourne are going to pay Utoikamanu, he looks promising but he's nowhere near being one of the top props in the game.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Corey Horsburgh has rumoured to have asked for a release….

 

[JayPee]

All the journos were saying he was definitely going to the Bulldogs lol clueless. Credit to him. Seems to be all about trying to win and better himself.

TPJ said / says the same things.

Created by Braith having a hunch that dogs should enter the race... grew several legs from there and was pushed to the max by Sydney journos.

His player manager was probably leaking info to journos to put pressure on storm to up their offer, knowing dogs were out of it
