NRL transfers

[Craig]

Last I heard, Scifcofske was checking his ancestory.

Isn't it Polish?

I always thought it was Russian, but I was wrong.

Thurston has gone back to North Qld- which will be good for him as he had little chance of first grade with that hack Briath Anasta there.

 

[Andre]

Despite the fact that the Bulldogs released Norton so that Anasta could move to lock and play Thurston at 5/8....

What I think Kyle meant was that Scif. would be checking to see if he was a kiwi - a figure of speech if you will because he can't get a rep game out here despite the fact he is good enough.

Joel Monaghan is set to make his decision sometime this week where he will be next season, yesterday on canberra TV he said its between canberra and the roosters, which leaves manly out of the running....

hes been injured for a fair portion of this season.

 

[Tim]

If Monaghan is out of the running at Manly then surely that means Manly have got Tahu?

 

[Andre]

From what I've gathered today Manly are favorites for him with his brother being the new first grade captain.

 

[Simon]

joel has pretty much said himself its either the raiders or roosters he will play for in 2005, looks like tahu will be going to parramatta for a monsterous 400k a year, which basically means they have to release jamie lyon from his contract, which could also mean the lyon could return to the NRL with manly. mick monaghan only has the sea eagles captaincy for this season, the reason menzies stood down is because he was told ben kennedy would be next years captain....

 

[Craig]

How much money does Parramatta want to throw around?

So far Mark Riddell is massively over-priced, it isn't as though he has played Origin or Tests. So is Brent Kite, no matter how good he might be.

 

[Simon]

Kite is going to manly, so parramatta have nothing to do with him, parra know they need to spend money on quaity players, i agree riddell is grossly over priced considering he doesnt play 80 minutes and isnt goalkicking anymore.
Tahu with 400k would make him among the highest paid players in the NRL, i dont think hes quite at that level though....

 

[age_master]

this has to be one of the shortest comebacks ever in league

"Craig Polla-Mounter made a surprise return last week for the Bulldogs Premier League side. Polla Mounter has injured his ankle and will not play again for the Dogs." - bulldogs.com.au

 

[Simon]

haha yeh i read that earlier, they are still holding onto some hope of him playing next year, but it doesnt look likely

 

[Tim]

Warriors have confirmed the signing of Ruben Wiki & expect to announce Steve Price later today...

 

[Simon]

thats bad news for the raiders, the timing also doesnt leave them the chance to throw more mony at monaghan, he is also expected to announce his future during the afternoon....

 

[Simon]

good news is Monaghan is in canberra today, not in sydney talking to manly and the roosters! bad news is that he has now put off making the announcement on his club for 2005 till sunday, but considering raiders play saturday night i dont think he wll be in sydney sunday morning....

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Its confirmed that both price and wiki are signed to the warriors for next season

thats f**king awesome haha !!! i think this will boost the teams morale by far and hopefully our fortunes turn around next season.

 

[Tim]

Last I heard..Price had decided to think about it a couple of more days.
So really only Wiki is concrete.

Old news btw that the Warriors signed Nathan Fien & today Henry Fa'ifili signed a contract with Warrington.

 

[Tim]

That doesn't mean anything that Monaghan isn't in Sydney...he could be close to a deal with his Agent just there in Sydney arranging the final details.

 

[Mingster]

Marsh won't be cut.

Tim, ever been to www.thesilverfern.com? What league forums you go to man?

 

[Tim]

I agree..I think if the Warriors let Marsh go it would be because he had no option but to retire.

Parramatta have confirmed Timana Tahu, Chad Robinson & Paul Stringer this evening.

 

[Tim]

I have only ever been to www.cricketweb.net. I have no need to visit any other forum as this is & always will be the best!

i'll check the silverfern website out anyway.
