I don't know anything about the circumstances here but all this talk of compensation and holding registration etc is a waste of everyone's time. Contracts are meaningless nowadays. We all know if he doesn't want to come back he won't come back, he'll get a gig elsewhere and we won't get any compensation from anyone.

I can’t see the NRL supporting Nene over the entire Super League comp to be fair, outside backs like him are ten a penny over there although I do think he could still play NRL.

I’m sure we will find out what’s happening in due course but losing him would not be helpful towards our push for 2024.

More than anything, it's a huge blow to RS's leadership. He was his man, and it looks like Nene has stabbed him in the back. Could be massively undermining for RS as head coach.

This is just another huge embarrassment for the club on so many levels - why not let him have proper paternity leave? Why put out the statement and create speculation? Why isn't the head coach in the know?

And the biggest question of all, why do so many player seem like they want to leave the club?

Nobody fancy Jack Walker back? Or is the risk to great?

no

Sam Lisone now has more tries in one game than Liam Tindall (a winger) has managed for Leeds 1st team in his entire career.

I think that about says it all.

Peter Smith reporting Frawley is close to signing, so thats nailed on if hes reporting it.

Also said that the club hadnt heard anything from MacDonald, sounds like hes AWOL.

None of this is true though.

Morning guys! I haven’t had anything worth while reporting and I haven’t had any info mainly. But I met up with my pal and he only confirmed what we knew, there are some very big differences behind the scenes. A few more players set to leave, Nene isn’t returning but it was all hush about that and it seems it’s the player not club to blame. The one big issue what I can gather is recruitment is just not happening, we are offering multiple deals out and players just don’t want to come to us. There are a lot of closed door session’s between just Smith and Gary, which apparently is unusual. Really bad news though, Frawley is all but done, I hate this one what a disgraceful signing, he is absolutely awful and one of the worst signings we will every make, him and Myler in the halves is not even championship level. He said a lot of players are upset they aren’t kept in the loop about anything anymore. So, not much of an update but my opinion thrown in. We will be a bottom 4 club from now on.

I have no idea about the rest, but Frawley is genuinely not a good player. Clune would be better, but so would most NRL reserves.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Sep 04, 2023 11:09 am  

Frawley is an absolute shocker of a signing. Just who is making the recruitment calls? Gary or Rohan?
