Jorge and Aussie Gossy

[Terry Zarsoff]

Word on the street that Pineapple Head at the Goosters is keen on Horhay as a quick fix (as in right now) for their injury woes.

Meanwhile Cronulla are interested in JetSki for the remainder of this year and into next.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Don't think I would like the vision of Jorge smashing Manly players. It's just not...right

 

[Dion Johnson]

If the Rorters are keen on Jorge the club would be serving Jorge well by letting him go, gives Jorge a chance to show case his skills.

Jetski same opinion let him go if he has a chance.

If it was to happen the club have a chance in negotiating other players, Egan Butcher for Jorge.

 

[Ranga]

Yes to both!!

 

[Nordburg]

Hard to find any info from the NRL so does anyone know if the Roosters have room to sign him?Obviously they’ll get some dispensation

 

[KNUCKLES]

I think we should allow both players to go.. will free up some extra salary cap space going into next year. Taufua is surplus to needs and jetski.. well it's jetski

Uncle Nick will find a way.

 

[Disco]

Hmm I like the idea of freeing up a little cap space and like the thought of letting Jorge put himself in the shop window.

But dont like the idea of helping a direct rival in the Roosters and.....as much as I hate saying this our depth in the backrow aint great and we may just need Gosie (ugh yuck)

When you have to go and sign another player to accumulate the mandatory 30 man squad and the one you're letting go is not on decent coin, you don't free up cap space, you just shift sideways with a new player that is either on the same amount or less...if they're on less, they probably aren't a better player than the one you're letting go of, so it's a loss, not a gain.

The only way this will materialise is if the club feel like getting Taufua a game. It'll be a welfare package for Taufua and the Roosters, if anything; not a business decision.

 

[Shoe1]

As long as they cant play against us this year

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Eeeeazy....When we play the rorters we'll just kick bombs to Tafua.

It’s an article in the SMH.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I'd love to see Horhay given a chance to play first grade again, and if that is with the Roosters so be it. He deserves to go out as a first grader not languishing in an extended squad running opposed sessions because Covid prevents him from playing any footy.

 

[Chip and Chase]

The Roosters are seeking to bolster their back line before the August 1 transfer deadline. Their hit list is headlined by two Manly wingers, Taufua and Tevita Funa, who have been identified as potential fill-ins for the absence of Brett Morris (retired), Joseph Suaalii (foot), Matt Ikuvalu (ankle) and Billy Smith (foot).

Roosters coach Trent Robinson has had to recall Josh Morris and name Adam Keighran in the centres for Thursday’s clash with Parramatta, but requires reinforcements as the finals approach.
Taufua has 163 NRL appearances, including a grand final, and has represented Tonga and Samoa. However, like Funa, the winger has been unable to break into a form Sea Eagles back line. Funa has made 15 first-grade appearances since his debut last year and is another option for Robinson, given he is off-contract at the end of the season.

Just promote dev players into the available spots.. it may not be much in terms of savings but it's still something. It's not like either player are likely to be used anyway

 

[Nordburg]

I wonder if this loan system comes in whether the players they take can play against their “parent”club because at this stage,for argument sake,Roosters won’t play Manly unless they meet in the GF

Is that a serious question
When have the Roosters struggled to fit players in.
There is a young bloke running around who hasn't played first grade yet on $1,200,000 that will be sacked for a covid breach freeing up plenty of space.

I understand they have about $12.2m available in their cap for this year

 

[CRPSI eagle]

I wish someone would take Sirro

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Absolutely not release them to the Chooks. Or Souths or Eels, or any team we are due to play in the run home.
On one of the shows tonite there was some mention of urgent talks at NRL about emergency loans so clubs have enough to name their teams. It would not be for the finals, only the remaining rounds.
Again, in emergency pandemic mode, be flexible. But not to disadvantage Manly, that would be crazy!
