NRL Player Movements & Rumours

[Big Pete]

Didn't realise that Keano Kini is straight into the Titans Top 30.

He's the best schoolboy they've ever had come through their system. I wouldn't be shocked to see him in their Top 17 by the end of the year and even pushing Jayden out at fullback in 2024.

I actually think that's a good headache to have for the Titans. Now they just have to find a spot for Brimson.

The article on Fox Sports is titled "Roosters solve cap crisis as Crichton re-signs" and then zero explanation as to how they did that or any questions asked.

Speaking of free agents, I saw Bennett criticise the current system. I actually like that when a team is in a bind they have that option of working with rival clubs and signing unwanted players. It's a win/win for everyone and gives players a point to prove in reggies if they're on the outer.

I have an issue when a desperate club can throw ridiculous money at a prospect a year out from their final year and suddenly the club who developed him are in the wrong for making them see out their deal. Wasn't fair on Canberra when Milford did it, wasn't fair on North Queensland when Ponga did it.

They could be waiting for the Staines signing to be official. I'd be shocked if Laurie remains a Tiger if Staines is retained at fullback for the first month of the competition.

If the NRL were competent they could solve this and have a best of both worlds situation but they aren’t and won’t.

I think it is great that clubs can take a player they need that might be surplus to another clubs requirements or swap players if it suits both parties but I cannot stand how clubs can pull the bullshit with contracted players where they say “we would pay you X amount if you were somehow to get a release”

What should be done with contracted players is that clubs can hash at the details but only when the club of the contracted player agrees is it presented to the player for them to decide. Put that in place and have real consequences for club or agent if they break the conditions.

The Manly admin are exactly ignorant enough to let that happen too I reckon

Didnt Stephen Dank work at Manly before getting stung at the Sharks?

I believe he did ... for a short time

Right around the time they won premierships, while I distinctly remember an article written about Watmough and his superhuman recovery abilities.

Flannigan 3 year deal at Manly under Sargent Seibs

Why on earth would any club sign Siebs as Head Coach and Flanno as an assistant?

Surely it's as obvious as water is wet that it should be the other way around, surely???

I hear Seibs does a hell of a PowerPoint presentation.

He's outstanding such good natural instincts for where the ball will be. Kini, Weaver, Bryant, Sexton and Campbell surely, they can end up with a great spine.

Maybe the NRL doesn’t want Flannigan to be a head coach so this is a work around

Yep 2006-10.

Where does Brimson fit into all of that?

 

[Allo]

Yep 2006-10.

Their most recent period of success, and you could count 2011 as a hangover year.

Nothing suss

the media are calling it "Seibolds Manly Dream Team"

in addition to Flanagan, they are trying to add Jim Dymock to his coaching team

I hear Seibs does a hell of a PowerPoint presentation.

when this first went down it was reported that Penn likes "PowerPoint coaching"
