Green is running out of time to produce something that will get him a contract extension post 2021.

I dont like option 2 that much but im struggling to decide between options 1 & 3. If Magoulias is named to start then i think id go for option 1 but its a tough call. Frizell is a bit of a wildcard i think, he should do well enough to be an adequate final 17 player but he could turn out to be a bit of a bust too. That said, i still think he offers value for money as does Yeo potentially. The extra cash in the bank for option 1 will be useful down the line too. So after all that, if i have to get off the fence, my choice is option 1

Thanks mate appreciate the thoughts. I think I might have been underrating that extra cash with option 1. Will see what happens with Magoulias on TLT

PSA: lads this is the weekend to stock up some brownie points with the missus if you’re running low for next week. Mow those lawns, double date with her annoying friends, wash a dish or two so you’re out of the dog house and set for the second coming of footy

Knights by 50. Would be 60+ but no ponga so keeping it realistic

Not good for Kennedy...

If Fogarty gets the nod at halfback I don't see why not to trade him in at bottom dollar even if he plays for the Titans.

I'm thinking if I need to trade Fifita and Kennedy out, will bring in:
Grant
Fogarty
Horse
Turbo

Thinking Horse is a trade in, as he has gone from bit player last season to key forward this season. Even when Bateman returns, should be starting prop for 50 minutes and 50 points per game, so is massively underpriced. If any of the other starting forwards go down he likely gets 60 minutes a game. "Mounties 10" is getting his chances this season.

I guess you could argue if a cash cow with a negative BE is desirable on TLT (Magoulias, maybe J Hopoate with D Fifita diagnosis of 3 weeks) you may prioritise them as Fogarty's BE would be 16 and you could possibly wait 1-2 weeks

Something I'm contemplating as one of my options to upgrade to Cleary in R5, but will probably still end up picking Fogarty

The Mole
May 23 2020
A THIRD Test star has admitted he received illicit money from the Sydney Roosters in brown paper bags.

Two weeks ago, I wrote a story that Kiwi legends Dane and Kurt Sorensen both confirmed that they moved to the Roosters from Cronulla for undeclared cash in the mid 1980s.

That prompted former Great Britain superstar Bobbie Goulding to call me from England this week to add fuel to one of league’s most talked-about rumours - that the Roosters allegedly paid players down the years in brown paper bags.

“Your story brought back memories of my experience with the Roosters when I came to the club for a short stint in 1991,” Goulding told me.

“I was just a kid and they made me a good offer to come over and play in Oz.

“I arrived at the airport and a couple of the lads picked me up and drove me to (club sponsor) City Ford.

“I’ll never forget it because I’d never had a car before. But it got better. One of the boys said to me ‘look in the glove box’.

“I did so - and there was en envelope with $1000 cash - which was a lot of money in those days.

“I thought it was a bit odd - but I wasn’t going to say no - I was a kid and didn’t know any better.”

For the next two weeks, Goulding claims he met a Roosters staffer and given further bundles of cash in bags.

But things quickly went sour for the Great Britain star.

“I wasn’t in first grade and after that third week, the money stopped coming,” he said.

“I told the club ‘If you don’t pay me next week, I am going home.

“I stayed three more weeks without getting paid, then got an offer from Leeds, and went home.”

Goulding claims the Roosters tried to smear his name after he left.

“They said I trashed my apartment, stole the TV and VCR and didn’t return the car,” he said.

“Look, I’m no angel and did some bad things in the past, usually on the drink.

“But what was I going to do with the TV and video player - take them on the plane?

“And as for the car, I got a mate to take it back.”

Goulding, something of a bad boy in his playing career, claims he is now a changed man.

“I wasn’t an alcoholic because I didn’t drink every day, but when I did drink, I binged and became a dickhead,” he said.

“I’ve been sober for eight years now and would love to get back into the game, hopefully in a coaching role.”





Truly sickening this is and I know of someone who has spoken with Willie Mason and Braith Anasta and they also got this treatment!

One day when this all comes out fully in a big way will be the best day! That is why they’re called the Rorters for a reason!

30-40k each hole you beat Politis in at golf as well.

If Horsbrough is starting at prop I’ll be tempted.

Broncos will rotate by necessity in the early rounds because a bunch of their first choice team will be MIA for the restart

Fogarty at 228k I think I’ll bring him in as it’s low risk.

Only if someone like Magoulias starts would I then opt for otherwise.

are we assuming fogarty will be 246k because he has played NRL before?

Would be a great signing for them

Tbh as well I don’t think 580k this season and 600k next season is enough for Bateman and how good he is.

I think he’s worth about 750k.

Jurbo is on just under $1M and would rate Bateman ahead of him.

The Warriors get their loan player dispensation. Now to see what ragtag bunch of ring ins we can get lol

I’d say Murdoch Masila is likely.
