Sounds like made up crap to me. Like the time we supposedly approached Paul Green through a 3rd party.

TITAN ON THE UP
PROMISING Titans utility back Jesse Arthars is going places in the NRL if his attitude counts for anything. The 21-year-old joined the Titans from Souths this season and left a lasting impression on Rabbitohs enforcer Sam Burgess. Arthars would bring a notebook to training and ask questions of Souths’ leading players, jotting down any notes that could improve him as a footballer. Burgess admired Arthars’ dedication. The Auckland-born young gun will join the Broncos next season and is considered a possible fullback option if Anthony Milford returns to the halves.

LODGE BOXING CLEVER
MATT Lodge’s improved fitness this season is no fluke. The Broncos prop is regularly punching out 60-minute stints in the engine room and it can be traced to his secret passion — boxing training.
Lodge is putting in the extras, donning the gloves at the Corporate Box Gym at Lutwyche, the very place where Quade Cooper was put through his paces as he dabbled in boxing during his career with the Wallabies.
Blindside would love to see Lodge jump in the ring with Paul Gallen for an NRL heavyweight battle royale but the Broncos prop insists he has no grand plans.
“I just enjoy it,” he said. “Boxing helps my footwork with conditioning and a bit of cardio without running on my legs. I’m doing it to help my footy. It helps my legs move a bit quicker, I’m not as blessed as Payne (Haas, front-row teammate). Maybe ‘Payno’ can give me a yard of speed.”
Herbie Farnworth has impressed at North Devil's.
POMMY PACEMAN AT RED HILL
MUCH is made of Canberra’s Englishmen Josh Hodgson, Elliott Whitehead and John Bateman, but NRL clubs should keep an eye on English sensation Herbie Farnworth.
The 19-year-old made his NRL debut in the Baby Broncos’ famous defeat of the Sharks in July and is close to smashing Norths Devils’ tryscoring record in the Intrust Super Cup.
The Devils’ record for most tries in a season stands at 21, set by Derek Fletcher in 2004. But Farnworth is closing in, having scored 19 tries from just 15 games this season. He has also kicked 58 goals for a season tally so far of 192 points.
A former Manchester United scholarship holder as a 10-year-old, Farnworth has scored six tries in the past fortnight, including four in a 62-14 drubbing of Northern Pride.
Brisbane’s GPS data showed Farnworth was faster than former centre James “The Jet’’ Roberts on a measurement of metres per second. The teenager is regularly seen doing extras at Red Hill on his days off. Good judges believe it is only a matter of time before the tall winger or fullback becomes a star in the NRL.

BIRD TO FLY SOON
GOOD news for Jack Bird. The luckless Broncos utility began running this week as he makes the long road back from a knee reconstruction. But soon the pressure will be on for Bird to deliver bang for his big bucks. The former NSW Origin star’s contract with the Broncos is worth $900,000 next season, making him the second highest-paid player at the club behind $1 million man Anthony Milford. Bird has played just 17 games in two seasons due to shoulder, sternum and knee injuries and the Broncos need him to fire next season to justify their huge investment and lead Brisbane back into premiership contention.

No one knows what he's on ... The media have stated figures ranging from 750k all the way to $1 million+
Yeah but it's been mentioned it goes up in his last two years, so even if it is $700k + it's still not worth it.

Damn, if anyone was desperate to get McCullough, I thought it could have been Penrith. Dunno if he's still their first choice at the moment, but Sione Katoa almost made Macca actually look like Cam Smith in comparison.
