Sydney Sombreros looking to sign All-Black

All Blacks star weighing up shock Roosters move

'We are talking to NZR and other parties'

wwos.nine.com.au

All Blacks halfback TJ Perenara is reportedly considering a dramatic switch to the NRL at the completion of the Japanese Top League season.

The shock revelation comes just days after All Blacks great Sir John Kirwan called on NZR to not re-sign Perenara, a veteran of 69 tests, for 2022 and beyond.

It has been reported the Roosters reached out to Perenara's agent Warren Alcock.
"We are talking to NZR and other parties that have approached us," Alcock told TVNZ.

It has been reported the Roosters would use Perenara as a hooker given their current crises in that area with Jake Friend retiring due to a nasty run of concussions and Sam Verrills currently on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Under a new rule in 2021, if Perenara was to sign with the Roosters before August 2, he would be eligible to play the remainder of the season.


- I thought the rorters already had one Perenara working for them?

Roosters looking to sign an AB....
We signed a guy who can't play for half the season.....

Either we are idiots, or completely hamstrung by our cap management, or the Roosters are just a step ahead again.

Or a combo of all 3.

The guy can play, no doubt but i would see him better suited to 6 than hooker.

The sombrero / taco link is not lost on me...

He will say no. The Roosters have a cap in size “one size fit all” the players we want.

 

[maxta]

Not to worry - if they miss him, Roosters will sign Nathan Cleary and Harry Grant as backups...

My mother is available to play for Manly. She's 77 and makes a great cup of tea. She'd also send the filthy opposition and the refs to their bedrooms without any TV.
There's no way she'd play for the roosters. She's way too classy.

No doubt the Rorters are trying to use the "we have no hookers left" card in a bait and switch move to replace Keary.

The moral of the story

It is not the size of the cap that counts

It is the size of the smart brain of the man that is wearing the cap

Well done to the shrewd roosters

Ridiculous.

This rule where a player can be contracted for part of a season has so far only been championed & used by the Roosters (SBW for 4 games last year at the bargain basement price of $150k).

Not only does it make a joke of the salary cap & the previously insisted upon "market value" concept for a player, it also makes a joke out of the deadlines implemented by the NRL for every club to to announce their top 30.

Chooks - 6 Internationals in the backs - plus Sam Walker and that other wonder-kid.
7 Internationals in the forwards.
OK fair enough, they desperately need reinforcements.

 

[47MVEagle]

Taking the SBW example - if NRL contracts are usually based on 12 month years, then extrapolating on SBW being paid $150k for 4 games (essentially 1 month) means if you scale it up to 12 months, his contract was worth $1.8m per annum.

Now, if the Roosters were allowed to "scale down" SBW's 4 game contract & pro-rate it, surely the space left in their cap at the time should also have been pro-rated?

I'd be very interested to know the finer details of the agreement, seeing as the Roosters also flew him & his family back to Australia & put them into (luxurious) hotel quarantine for 2 weeks as well as providing them a car.

What was laughable was the Roosters originally submitted a contract value of $130k but the NRL apparently thought it was too low, so they agreed on $150k - $20k more LOOOOL!!!

It is not ridiculous it is remarkably astute

The moral of the story In regards to the cap and all the rules that are put in place

We have the sheep that follow the rules

And the Shrewd that break the rules

Because Rules are there to be broken by the wise Innovators

Ba Ba Black sheep have you any clue ?
No sir no sir No can do

they may not have many number 9s left but heaps of hooker in that club

Yeah but you're coming from the belief that anything goes as long as you dont get caught - in fact, you think not getting caught cheating is somehow noble & innovative.

Perspective time ...

Innovation to the rules has been proved by the Roostes

Cheating has not been proved by the Whingers
