Player movements and rumours

Discussion in 'The Cesspit: Rugby League Discussion' started by Julian, Apr 7, 2009.

  1. Cribbage RG Cribb

    He's definitely better than he was when he left for the UK, and not every reserve grade hero can fit into Melbourne's structure like he did (Hampton and Roberts were flops) but yeah I'm inclined to agree anyway.
     
  2. Ged GEC King

    I have heard a few rumours and it makes complete sense that the Cowboys will sign Jacob Lillyman. He'll take unders to go back to the club he started at and have a last crack at a premiership in a good side. It also makes sense for the Cows with Tamou leaving and a couple of young blokes probably a year or two off first grade. I get the feeling Hannant will leave.

    I could get around a middle third rotation of Scott, Lillyman, Taumololo, Bolton, Hess, Kaufusi

    I dunno about Hess up the guts. I agree that he's a better player than Asiata overall but I see him much more as an edge forward. I think I'd rate Asiata the better middle third player.

    Matt Gillett ---> Warriors nearly sewn up
     
  5. Julian BJ Taylor

    Fuck that'll be the end of him then.
     
  6. Fiery GR Smith

    Yeah hopefully finish his career with us, helping us to some titles on the way.

    There's just some clubs you avoid like the plague.
     
  8. Old Mate M Perry

    Nearly sewn up you say? Everything I've read seems like it's no where near sorted.
     
  9. Fiery GR Smith

    Think you'll find there are dozens of Australian ex-Warriors who enjoyed their spells at the club and would strongly disagree with that. Living in NZ > Aus after all.

    All about the moolar really though isn't it? Reckon we would pay him about 600k...which is probably a significant increase on what he's currently getting at the Broncos.
     
  10. Tartmaster AJ James

    Weren't that Dragons throwing the chequebook at him?
     
  11. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Ha. Cant see Gillett knocking back Dragons, Titans, Sharks and Manly only to sign with Warriors.
     
  12. Paddy P Orr

    Can't say I blame him wanting to leave mediocrity to return to the Cowboys who are now an actual premiership threat unlike when left. Would be nice to have Lillyman since Tamou's off.
     
  13. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    You can also guarantee your rep prospects decline as soon as you head to a club like the Warriors.
     
  14. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Yeah Lillyman at a good price would be great. Tamou is vastly overpriced.
     
  15. Old Mate M Perry

    Hardly sounds like he is a sure thing does it?
     
  16. Fiery GR Smith

    Yeah it really destroyed the rep careers of guys like Jacob Lillyman, Kevin Campion and Steve Price eh? (But that was guaranteed)

    Never said it was a sure thing. I'm optimistic though. He seems very keen on the idea. Can't wait to hear you, Boobidy and jazman84 blubbing about it from 15,000km away it if he does ;)

    I suppose it's easier to argue with views you make up rather than the ones people actually post. But whatevs.

    That made no sense.
