FWIW I was told Leeds offered more but wanted three years and no get out clause, and as for Marquee spots it's not like Leeds haven't been known to move players on at the drop of a hat is it ? maybe thats why Sinners went for Lui after the Hastings deal was dead in the water.

By the way Sinners would have got shut of Merrin or Hurrell at the drop of a hat if he could have got Hastings .

Not sure about the latter. Merrin has arguably been their player of the year.

You mean Merrin who they’ve just made captain? Yeah of course. Sinfield has moved players on but not ones he’s just brought in himself several months ago.

At least my argument has some logic with Leeds unable to make him marquee thus severely affecting how much he’d cost us on our cap, whereas you’ve just plucked Sinfield moving on Merrin or Hurrell on out of thin air. Without him being able to be marquee for Leeds then we simply don’t have the cap space to have offered him big money.

And if Leeds wouldn’t agree to a NRL clause then he didn’t turn us or our money down we turned him down.

So you don't think sinfield is capable of getting shut if there was a better option really ? remind me how it went with his good mate Furner not to mention your mate Mcdermott. Sinfield would stab his own granny in the back .

He didn’t get shut of Furner, Hetherington sacked him, and it wasn’t because their was a better option as we’re still without a permanent new coach. McDermott again was sacked by Hetherington.

No I don’t think he’d get rid of either player that he signed and is very happy with and has tied to long contracts for a guy who could be gone within 12 months and need you starting all over again.

Nobody knows the money side. We do know Leeds really wanted Hastings. It seems the NRL clause became a big problem though, as at one stage Leeds were willing to pay a fee to get him this year.

Anyway, Maloney is now the big question. I know Leeds have been linked but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes elsewhere.

Of course the head honcho pulled the trigger but sinners loaded the gun, wasn't the club rotten in his opinion and it was him or Furner in that Carney interview ?

for a guy who could be gone within 12 months and need you starting all over again.

This bit I agree with and just shows what state the game is in when a Rugby League giant has bent over backwards to the players demands. In regards to the two year deal Jacko made it clear he only wants a year so the NRL clause will kick in sooner rather than later I believe. So hardly building a team around him. Good luck to Jacko he will return to Aus with a sackfull of cash and my guess Cooper Cronks number 7 shirt at the chucks once he hangs his boots up.

No. The Sydney Roosters will have Lachlan Lam (son of Adrian Lam) and perhaps Kyle Flanagan (son of former Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan) as carefully groomed but inexpensive candidates to replace Cooper Cronk. The Roosters want a relatively inexpensive half to partner Luke Keary because they will need lot of money to retain Latrell Mitchell. So the Roosters will not be bidding for Jackson Hastings.

It is now official. George Williams will leave Wigan and play for Canberra Raiders in 2020. However his position in the starting lineup depends upon the form of currently in form Turkish international Aiden Sezer. https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/ ... n-dilemma/

Depends if he can replicate his Salford form at Wigan which isnt a guarantee. If he doesn't, his stock may fall
