  1. Not much happening this week is there?!?! Matt Moylan, Peta Hiku and Waqa Blake all dropped for breach of protocol Tyrone Peachey cracks a rib Granville fractures his leg Cooper Cronk leaves Melbourne at the end of the year, either to a Sydney club or retirement Mitchell Moses rejects Wests and wants immediate release to Parra Luke Brooks apparently signs extension with Wests Ivan Cleary confirmed as new Wests coach Des Hasler extends contract with Bulldogs Supercoach goes cheapie crazy with three huge money makers and only two transfers to make (assuming you didn't go early on any of Ponga, Gela-Mosby or Harawira-Naera!) Any more?
  2. He's been announced at North Queensland from what ive seen
  3. Sad story, but great that he had the people around him to see where he was at and help him though it!
  4. Hope he gets some game time, like you say, it will add an extra amount of interest to the Panthers games this season. Wonder how he'll score in Supercoach!
  5. Officially confirmed - Swap deal means Zak Hardaker to Penrith and James Segayaro to Leeds. http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/rhinos-and-panthers-agree-deal-on-player-swap-25462
  6. Im excited by this signing, hope its true! Would rather have Segayaro than Farah, who worried me in terms of the friction he is part of at Wests and whether he likes to wield too much power. I think Segayaro would be awesome in Super League, would suit his style of play and he can be one of the top players in the league. Will be interesting to see if any NRL clubs will come after him again, in 2014 he was on fire in the NRL so its odd that he cant secure an NRL spot, unless he would rather come here for a year or two for the experience?
  7. That's a fair point, would probably rule out those two if a fee was needed. You're probably right about GC, but I think Hardaker is as good as if not better than those players to be honest. Unless he ever goes to the NRL and shows us, its hard to judge how these players stack up against each other. Having watched a fair bit of NRL and having watched Zak on a weekly basis, I think he would hold his head up over there, but he needs the right club, something that Sam Tomkins didn't choose wisely!
  8. Zak is a quality player and I would disregard this year in any judgement of him, the whole Leeds team is appalling at the moment so its impossible to tell what's going on! I wouldn't be surprised if the price tag is more of a hands off sign to UK clubs, and that any NRL club enquiring could get him for much less than that. As for where, who knows, Farmduck asked me to look at the NRL roster and I do agree that there isn't much space for him. I know they've said they aren't interested but Id play Zak over Jack Wighton at Canberra, and if Inglis is at centre permanently then Souths may be an option. Gold Coast possibly too. Other than that Im struggling to see any other teams where he would fit at FB. Is Gagai a FB? I know he's been playing there recently but is he naturally a FB or is he more a centre/Wing? Im sure Newcastle could accommodate him in the team, and Nathan Brown will be very aware of Zak already from his time in the UK.
  9. So is anyone going to bite for Zak Hardaker? I've so far read that the Roosters, Canberra, Manly and GC are interested, but I cant see anyone paying £300k to take him off Leeds. We cant be expecting to get that fee paid! Also, Robbie Farah is strongly linked with Leeds (again!) but seems more to it this time I think.
  10. Nathan Peats confirmed to Gold Coast Titans for the rest of 2016 and 2017. Feel sorry for him being forced to move on due to the ineptitude of the Eels board. Good signing for the Titans though imo.
  11. Leeds apparently knocked back by Sam Moa, and according to reports we're after Paul Gallen, Cooper Cronk, Tony Williams, Gareth Widdop etc. I'm sure some of them must be half true but it seems the marquee allowance has given the agents in Aus a good bargaining tool for their own players. Ill bet they want a better deal and suddenly >insert SL club here< is after them so you better upgrade his contract!
  12. Thanks, I cant remember seeing too much of him so I'm not sure what to expect. He seems to have been in demand in the off season when he went to Brisbane, but doesn't seem to have kicked on this year for some reason, although it wasn't Bennett that signed him so that may explain the lack of opportunities.
  13. Brisbane Bronco Mitch Garbutt has signed for Leeds with immediate effect and through to the end of 2017. What's the general opinion of him?
  14. Ricky Stuart is putting a very decent team together at the Raiders. I've enjoyed watching them play this year, and the signings they've made for next year so far with Whitehead, Sezar and now Leilua (im sure there are more i've forgotten!) means they look pretty exciting next year too.
  15. Are there any big name halves out there available? Where do they look to replace them two?! They will have a big old hole in the salary cap that can be filled though so it could get interesting! The management of the whole situation has been awful, I'm not sure they could have made more of a mess of it if they tried!
