NRL Player Movements & Rumours

Salary cap working as intended. Successful teams pilfering the best players of the lowly teams for less money.

I've never been a fan of the idea but maybe it is time for a draft after all.

To be fair he has either been bench or centre for the Tigers this year so can’t blame him for jumping at a chance of a starting back row spot

I don't see anybody blaming him for taking the deal.
The issue is the salary cap once again not doing what it is supposed to do.

Meh, calling out Garner as one of "the best" players in a lowly team when he isn't even been selected in his position of choice with no evidence that the Tigers even were offering him materially more money doesn't wash for me as a reason to complain about the cap but sure...have at it i guess.

Titans apparently chasing Foran to get some experience in the spine.

It could work if he stays injury free and his mental health doesn't deteriorate. It's slim pickings for quality halves though so he's probably the best option they have got.

I thought he was not open to leaving Sydney as he is estranged from his missus and wants to be near his kids.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

I thought I read somewhere that he wasn’t interested in leaving Sydney because of his kids.

 

[Sproj]

I am $ure there are $ome rea$on$ why he might con$ider leaving for the Titan$.

who would have thought that getting rid of all experience out of your spine for a group of rookies was a recipe for disaster

And now they're scrambling for stop gap experience in the spine... is another Reynolds going to pop up on the market for them though.

Foran just doesn't work outside of Manly. If he's not at Brookvale, he turns into an injury ridden crock.

Also they could’ve just kept Fogerty

Shhh... this is the titans we're talking about.

It would be amazing if they sign him only to see him breakdown and be back at square one, but with a $500k Foran on the sideline collecting his pension.

That was when he was worth more than near minimum wage.

Don't worry, Mal doesn't read this forum. He gets all his ideas from the graffiti on toilet doors

I feel like I have seen that before but couldn’t have, I mean it is not like a club would see how poorly that plays out and then do it anyway, that would be fucking crazy.

 

[Wolfie]

You can’t build totally from rookies

 

[Morkel]

Shhh... this is the titans we're talking about.

And then suddenly decides that he wants to walk away from his contact to work on the family farm...

I think they might be back together.. Plus, salary cap pressure is set to squeeze him out of Manly.

He wants to keep playing, so it looks like he doesn't have much choice.
