On the halfway line.

ET did a similar thing a few years ago at Cronulla- rumour

I'd bet there's been lots of others also.

 

[Dannevegas]

D brown- warriors
Martin-knights
Gamble, Pryce-eels
?

 

[tyrael]

Is Tyrone going to knights a way of keeping Leo?

Why didn't Warriors take a look to bring Leo here?

Three way deal !!!
That will give people something to talk about
TMM is the type of player who is desirable enough to get traded

 

[MurrayTD]

I don't get the talk on here to move TMM on, I feel he has the highest ceiling of all our halves and highlighted this against Penrith in magic round, he is a genuine game breaker which we have a dearth of currently.

I’m not too sure of moving him on either he’s a starting half atm for me, but there’s rumours from somewhere.
I’d only let him go if we got Brown

Adam Elliott as well?

Happy November 1 y'all!

Day one of the merri-go-round haha.

Where abouts did you hear this from? Given there's so many parties involved if there was something serious on the cards, there's no way that this is done behind closed doors as someone will leak something...

Knights forum, cant see him leaving Nz tho

unless its to a Qld club and for a decent contract. Would Broncos for 2026 after Reynolds doesn't get resigned be on the cards or have they already got someone lined up for that role?

 

[Fizurg]

Would Broncos be on the look out for a reasonably priced half for 2025 due to their situation?

[Canonball]

Am I reading this correctly that we are only paying him $80k a year? If so, that seems like a pretty damned good deal for us....

I feel like I'm missing something here..

Edit: have corrected the salary amount.
