Player Movements / Rumours 2011/2012

[Old Mate]

You guys are underrating Cronk here, excellent vision/kicking/passing. May not be as dynamic as Thurston or Lockyer but he'd use his great acceleration when needed instead, he's the fastest player at the storm over 20m.

He will be great no matter where he goes.

I heard that Wests were withdrawing Willie Mason, that's a good move by them any club that looney tune plays for he drags it down. If he ended up at the Broncos I would've handed my season tickets in.

If only Willie Mason's dad withdrew.

Sonny Bill Williams wants to be rugby league’s highest paid player if he returns to the NRL.

According to a report in Australian magazine Rugby League Week, the All Black wants about $800,000 a year to return to league from rugby union, will only accept a one-season deal and must be free to continue his professional boxing career in league’s off-season.

An un-named coach is reported to have said that Williams’ agent Khoder Nasser “told us the only way Sonny Bill would come back to the NRL was if he got a promise that he would be getting the most money of anyone in the game.

“That was one of a host of conditions he set down. It was about at that stage that we lost interest.”

what a greedy khunt. i doubt any team will sign him

Let him price himself out of the market so I don't have to look at him.
Alternatively, I'd like to see Tony Williams drop him on his head in the first round and put the two of them out for the season.

I think Khoder Nasser & co have brainwashed SBW.

Sounds like DCE has resigned with Manly till 2015 according Rugby League Week on twitter. :shake:

 

[Kaz]

Noone is surprised about that.

The old, upgrade my contract or I will leave trick.

 

[Alec]

Too bad. I guess we have to pin our hopes on Norman turning into a gun player now.

 

[Broncoman]

DCE is staying at Brookie.

Broncoman, try to read all the new posts in a thread before replying, so you don't repeat information someone else has already posted. :handshake:

It seems David Taylor is thinking about backing out of his verbal agreement to the Titans given reports of their financial position.

RLW on facebook is saying that Cooper Cronk has called a press conference for 10:30am tomorrow.

in then goes on to say that the Moles "hot tip" is that Cronk will leave the Storm and go to the Roosters, Knights, Titans or Dragons.

given that he has called a press conference i'd say that there is a good chance that he is leaving the Storm.

 

[Fozz]

Nice work Mole, you've narrowed it down to a quarter of the comp.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Roosters makes no sense, Cronk, Maloney and Pearce in the halves.

I would laugh if its Titans, and will laugh more when the titans can't pay his contract. Will be just desserts for the extras hes received the last 5 years.

Cronk might be up for grabs cheap if he goes to the gc and they fold later in the season. Or better yet next season after he has already relocated and doesnt want to move south again.
