Lenui wants out?

I like Spencer. He’ll be immense for the Chooks this year.

Source? for a 35min prop that is insane

Both Spencer and Connor Watson signed upgraded extensions keeping both at the club until 2028. - Spencer (article says 800k as do some others ) - and Connor Watson around 550k I heard ( up from 300k)

I was under the impression that both Watson and Lenui are off contract at the end of the 2027 season.

Yeh 2027 - upgraded the 2025 contact and added 2 more years (2026/2027)

Good coin if true for Mr Spencer L.

[SamKerrSimp]

If it is true then Daniel Saifiti is the only one that would make sense.

The Souths halfback Dodd makes the most sense he is shit, on big coin and will cop all the blame if they start badly. Last year when the signing was first announced it was ridiculed on Dribble360 because Anasta is Ilias' manager and the newspapers took Bennett's "who are you?" way out of context to smear the kid I would expect the media scrutiny to continue he's already got an agenda against him and we've seen how toxic the Souths "leadership" group are I would be surprised if he is still their halfback by round 20 barring an absurd injury crisis.

Was just catching up on NRL360 and David Riccio said there’s an interview with Uncle Nick and Buzz in Sundays paper. Mentioned about letting Spencer go but was inaudible as Tallis was talking over him trying to sink the slipper in.

$825k for one of NSW's best props?

Sorry but what's with all the hate for our props? We have two of the best in the game and act as though any old flog could dominate our big boys.

Sorry mate but 825k for Leniu (if that is accurate), is an insane amount. There are better props than him on much less.

Lindsay was awesome up until end of 2023. I try and reserve judgement on him as I think he's been bashed around and had a few too many head knocks and naturally regressed a little bit. As I'm a fan and haven't been KOd ad nauseum, I don't think it's fair for me to question his heart and his form at the minute. Hopefully he bounces back.

[Easts75]

Yeah 825k for a prop that is completely ineffective starting or playing longer minutes..massive overs !!! Different style of player but Terrell May goes better than him for literally half the amount of money.. Good move Easts

[Bondicigar]

Cut him now , the rebuild is on so why waist money on a player that's not going to put in 100%.

[Horry]

Billionaire Roosters boss Nick Politis has angrily shut down rumours that front-rower Spencer Leniu wants out from the club.

“I’m not happy at all because rumours like this are damaging and upset people in the club,” Politis said in Las Vegas, where he is here to watch the LA Roosters in the Nines tournament.

“It’s definitely not the case. Spencer is in our leadership group.

“He’s just bought a unit at Eastlakes and married a lovely Greek girl. They are settled in the eastern suburbs. I don’t know where this has come from.”

Despite poor form in the trials on the back of losing millions of dollars in talent in Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Terrell May, Luke Keary, Joey Manu and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Politis remains hopeful the Roosters will do better this year than most are expecting.

“We’re in a rebuilding process but I’m very positive about it,” he said.

“A couple of trial losses won’t put us off course. We’re backing a lot of our emerging young players to come through.”

Spencer being in the leadership group is an embarrassment

Ridiculous isnt it. Imagine his contributions at the leadership table…”so which player do I abuse this week boys?”
