NRL Player Movements and Rumours 2015

Shillington to the Titans. I was thinking just yesterday how well he's played since being on the outer earlier this year. But we have enough forwards on the wrong side of 30. Titans are the perfect retirement home for him, and he'll actually be a good signing for them I think.

Agreed.

I was actually hoping we'd sign him when he first made it clear he wanted out of the Raiders.

I can still remember how well he played in a few of those origin matches.

Yep. He'll go a long way to filling the gap left by Myles

 

[Sproj]

I would suggest Shillington would even be better for QLD than Myles at present.

Mose Masoe has signed a two year deal with the Dragons. He hasn't been playing great for St. Helens this year. He has looked lazy in the games I have seen but when he is switched on he is hard to stop.

 

[Renegade]

I would've signed Mose if I was in charge of brisbane, love that guy.

The Dragons look to have signed Luke Page for the rest of this season. Burleigh Bears have just retweeted it.

Yep, starts tomorrow.

So the Dragons have signed Luke Page, Mark Ioane & Mose Masoe in the last 48 hours.. didn't have they have salary cap issues?..

 

[Unbreakable]

And they just announced Kurt Mann as well.......... WTF, how much was Trent Merrin on? $1m?

Why would three ISC players cost a lot? Mann would be 90% of any net total spent. Page and Ioane you could put on your second tier cap.

Mann was signed a few weeks ago and took a bit to get him away from the Storm.

 

[Super Freak]

Trent Hodkinson has signed with Knights for 3 years.

Hodkinson to join Knights - Knights

 

[Alec]

I don't really rate him that highly, but he's definitely better than friggin Roberts/Tuimovave.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

So Taylor to Titans then?

 

[bb_gun]

Sharks have signed Townsend for next year and 2017.

BREAKING NEWS | Townsend returns - Sharks

I assume that this means Robson is retiring and Bird will move to the centres to make way for Maloney. With Gordon leaving for Parramatta next year do they go with Val Holmes at fullback or Barba? IMO they should go with Holmes and leave Barba as one of the highest paid bench players of all time.

 

[Unbreakable]

Holmes is already better than Barba, so I'd definitely go Holmes at Fullback and try my hardest to off-load Barba to some UK team.

 

[Unbreakable]

Sharks have a pretty good roster next season, not sure if they'll be able to do anything with it though, they rarely do.

1. Holmes
2. Feki
3. Beale
4. Bird
5. Leutele
6. Maloney
7. Townsend
8. A.Fifita
9. Ennis
10. Prior
11. Lewis
12. Graham
13. Gallen (c)

14. Bukuya
15. D.Fifita
16. Heighington
17. Tagatese

 

[Alec]

Some good players, but that halves pairing really stands out as really suss.

 

[Unbreakable]

Eels just went ham on player re-signings.
