Graham Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Canberra bosses were unable to contact Curtis Scott following his arrest in Sydney because he allegedly threw his mobile phone at a passing car earlier in the night. The Sydney Morning Herald reports Scott lost or broke his phone when throwing it at the car “just hours” before he was tasered and arrested by police in Moore Park. As reported by foxsports.com.au the 22-year-old recruit is to return to Raiders HQ for training on Wednesday morning.

Interesting development, perhaps it appears the police were overly aggressive in their actions. Regardless, I’d still expect the NRL to stand him down Edited January 31, 2020 by DoubleD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Sharks young gun Bronson Xerri is set to test his value on the open market on November 1, according to Fox Sports’ James Hooper. The 19-year old reportedly knocked back a five-year $2.5 million from Cronulla to focus on having a big season coming off shoulder surgery. The Sharks’ mega offer was an attempt to blow NRL rivals out of the water. While Xerri is free to talk to other clubs, he cannot sign anywhere before November 1.

Graham Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Cooper Johns, son of Newcastle star Matthew, has turned several heads within the Melbourne Storm camp and is in the frame start the season in the No.7 jersey. The 20-year-old has impressed over the pre-season and has found a new fan in teammate Josh Ado-Carr, with the winger highlighting Johns as one of the clubs standouts from their two week training camp in Geelong last month.

Graham Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) A likely choice for many Supercoach squads, David Fifita and his future is being talked over in the media. Here seems to be the latest idea of what his immediate future in the game holds: Quote Rival clubs have given up on prying David Fifta out of Brisbane, with the Broncos set to re-sign the rising star, according to The Gold Coast Bulletin. A number of other teams, including the Rabbitohs, Eels, Bulldogs and Warriors have been linked to the 19-year old, but will reportedly be forced to abort their plans. Despite battling salary cap pressure, the Broncos are reportedly so confident of retaining Fifita that they are prepared to wait several months to free up the necessary funds to retain him. Originally prepared to offer a five-year deal, it is believed that Brisbane could now table a two-year contract with option clauses worth around $750,000 a season, allowing them more flexibility. Apart from spelling his surname wrong in there that seems right. Souths are pretty much sorted out now with Arrow and Mitchell signing on for them.

Graham Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Injury prone Josh Dugan is in the news again with rumours in the media about him not putting effort into pre-season training. Josh Dugan has denied a report claiming his teammates have lost faith in him for an unimpressive pre-season, which has put his NRL future at the Sharks in doubt. The Sharks will hold a meeting with Dugan’s agent Paul Sutton in the next 24 hours to discuss how to resolve issues with the former Australia star, including unconfirmed reports of a knee injury. Fox Sports are reporting Dugan had missed training sessions over the pre-season and claimed his effort had been less than impressive, concerning coaches and teammates.
