Good. We keep Walsh to delay his classes with RTS and we don't get a player who doesn't want to be here either.

Have the NRL sent out a secret memorandum which expressly forbids any other team bidding for off contract Roosters players? It certainly seems that way. players like Keary, and Manu have come up for contract renewal and mysteriously no other team wanted to try and sign them. I just don't get it.

It’s because the Roosters are just such a loving club and offers potential trips to England, no one wants to leave there as a result.

I remember hearing that the roosters have completely blackballed certain player managers and refuse to sign or re-sign players represented by them, there were a few exceptions who have since changed management. This approach, coupled with things like not playing ball when stars try and pump up their value (eg Mitchell) probably has a lot to do with why player managers don’t get to bend them over by playing out negotiations in the media etc. in other words, the club is run properly.

Agree. They also have the benefit of not worrying about losing their juniors to other clubs, because they don’t have any! They don’t have to pay overs to keep talented juniors that are being eyed by other clubs. They can stick firm to their decisions and cherry pick who they go after from other teams.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be here he only wants to be a top 30 player

I hope we aren’t denying him a top 30 spot due to holding out for Billy

Those in the know, any truth in the Dearden to cowboys dribble that is going around on socials? Imo, can’t see it happening but then again this is the Broncos.

Could be why Kevvie has caved to the pressure and named him to start

That's the only reason why he is starting after that lousy display against Melb.
FMD, if it was Croft we'd have pages of the post game thread dedicated to how 'he was the worst h/back' ever.
Yet the golden child's flaws are defended and blamed on some other bullshit factors.
