NRL Player Movements & Rumours

[The True King]

Not sure if this is the thread for it but there was an NRL player doing a tour of the gym I go to around lunchtime today.

Not a Broncos player but is a Brisbane boy and current QLD rep player. Barely recognised him as he was dressed casually but stood out as not in exercise gear. Had a fairly solid bench press on him which I guess is to be expected.

Did make me wonder if he is just keeping fit during off-season or potentially scoping out local gyms.

Welch

Welch

ahh yeah more than likely scoping out the place, will probably captain the phins

Corey Norman's management have had discussions with the Knights about him replacing Pearce.

Knights have also apparently discussed Scott Drinkwater as his path at the Cowboys blocked by HTF (fullback) Dearden and Townsend (halves) ... If Drinkwater is up for grabs, i'd hope we have a chat to him

The Knights reportedly have their hearts set on Luke Brooks, but his preference is the Bulldogs, if he parts ways with the Tigers

Drinkwater only just re-signed with the Cows. I can't see the Cows letting him go now with only Deardon and Townsend as options in the halves

My understanding is we talked to Drinkwater about playing him at fullback be he wanted to play in the halves.

Also noting that Drinkwater re-signed with them after they signed Chad and Dearden... so both he and the cows were aware of the halves situation.

I'd definitely take Drinkwater... can play fullback for us and plays the same style as Hynes

3.3 mill over four years apparently.

they're also talking about possibly offering him the captaincy

 

[Spoon]

And the Titans end up with all their money in the forwards. That worked really well for us the last couple of years...

 

[Culhwch]

I understand why they've got us second and the Titans first in those power rankings (power ranking three teams, by the way, seems a bit redundant...), but based on comparative recruitment, management and direction, I'd be incredibly disappointed if we ended up finishing below the Gold Coast next year.

Tino totally wasted playing in the middle

Tino totally wasted playing for the Titans.

Fixed it.

Titans being the Titans.

So who else there is ready to walk away from their contract to go farming?

Paul Momirovski has been released by the Panthers to join the Roosters.

A very good pick up for them, he's highly underrated and now a premiership winner. Who will Penrith play at centre next year? Naden, Burton and now Mom has left.

Wonder if they’re preparing for life after Manu.

Melbourne Storm lock up Harry Grant with 2023 option to ward off Dolphins interest | Sporting News Australia

Melbourne Storm have moved to block new club the Dolphins from making a play for Harry Grant.

www.sportingnews.com

“You can put a line through Harry Grant for the Dolphins,” Read said on Triple M's ' Rush Hour'.
“Harry had a mutual option in his contract, which means he could have taken it up or the club could take it up for the 2023 season. “It is not due for months but Melbourne have informed Harry’s camp that they will take up that option.

Did anyone think MO's work like that? I was always of the belief that BOTH parties have to agree, not either could activate it.

Something is seriously shady if Grant agrees to the extra year without re-negotiating but apparently Melbourne can exercise it without his approval.
