so apparently Maloney/SKD/JWH are all staying now

[fletch]

geez Massoud can change his tune quickly, two weeks ago the heart was going to be ripped out of the Roosters and tonight he is reporting that Maloney/SKD/JWH are all staying and Napa is a chance to reject the Dragons offer.

if Maloney/SKD both stayed it would probably mean Toups will be going and there would be some serious doubts on RTS staying.

in terms RTS, I think its not a matter of whether we want to keep him, its more a matter of him wanting to move back to N.Z

Resignings....

JWH SKD and Maloney set to resign, Napa to take pay cut to stay.. good news!

If RTS does go at the end of the year it will be interesting to see if Robbo takes a punt on a young 18 year old in the fullback position.

how about a current Wallaby who's contract could be heavily subsidised by Dave Smith's slush fund and 3rd party deals.

Yeah, lets pay overs for a bloke with no opposable thumbs and has never made a decent tackle in his life.

Watching the wallabies the last season or so, have you ever thought 'wow, we should sign him'?

Me neither.

Looks like that's the plan PB I know uncle Nick is concerned with the lack of speed and power of RTS at fullback.

I thought I was the only one who thought RTS was slow.

Mitchell looks a tremendous talent but there is no way the roosters would throw a rookie 18yr old into the fullback position. Much more likely he would debut on the wing and I cannot see him playing this year regardless of injuries, origin and shek.

[mightyrooster]

Sounds good. But it will mean we lose Toups and possibly RTS. Do you have a source Trurk?

Turk just loves to start new threads.

Maybe they have all had a chat Fletch and talked about taking unders to play with mates in a winning team.
Toups and RTS should consider the same. They will learn a lot under Robbo. I keep hearing about how slow RTS is. I will give him a yr at fullback before I decide. Continually running from your danger zone into 110kg front rowers can dent your speed a bit.

[John Corey]

Class act from Napa if true. Will learn a lot under Robbo.

Been a while since I've posted but wanted to address some crap.
Firstly RTS resigned late last year with the club. Loved and respected by all especially uncle Nick. Definitely groomed and seen as a FB but sometimes u just never know. I'll let everyone speculate about everything else but RTS is house hunting Ffs. Lol
Go the chookies and go to games ffs. Lol

If he has the club are certainly reluctant to announce it for some reason.

They even responded to a fans question on social media month back in no uncertain terms saying the he is off contract at the end of this season.

I don't think he will leave, he's a huge part of the club and from what I've heard he's happy at the club but just strange that they've held off for so long if true.
