I hope they release him. Roosters would miss his leadership, but that will make other players step up. Our pack could be so much better without him!!

What drugs are you taking??

That's great news. He's one of the only players we've got who has brains and maturity. We need him and he's worth the money he's on.

The manager of Sydney Roosters captain Braith Anasta has hosed down speculation his star client is heading to NRL rivals North Queensland.

Rumours linking Anasta to the Cowboys have been bubbling away since late in the NRL season - when the classy playmaker helped the Roosters to a memorable grand final appearance.

Last September North Queensland skipper Johnathan Thurston asked the club to throw the chequebook at Anasta in order to lure him to the battling club.

It emerged on Tuesday that Cowboys CEO Peter Jourdain had confirmed his club had formally requested permission from the Roosters to start negotiations with Anasta.

It is believed Anasta's manager Greg Willett approached the Cowboys about buying out the final season of the former NSW Origin star's contract at Bondi Junction.

But a prompt "thanks but no thanks" from the Roosters appears to have scuppered any deal, according to Cowboys football operations manager Peter Parr.

"There is nothing to say about it unless the Roosters give us permission," Parr said.

And Willett said there had been no progress in talks with the Cowboys since the end of the season.

"This is all old news," Willett said.

"All I could say is that yes there was some interest (near the end of the NRL season), but there's nothing really gone more than that.

"(North Queensland) did want to know if he would go there but this was two months ago and it's never really gone on from there."

Willett said the deal would only eventuate if the Cowboys presented the Roosters an offer they could not refuse.

"If anyone wants to give me a million dollars, I'll wrap him up in cotton wool and drive him there myself because that's my job," Willett said.

"If someone says they're interested (in Anasta), you're always going to be interested in an offer.

"That's your job. But there have been no offers or anything like that."

This in today's Telecrap - still the negative turns back on the Roosters:

THE Cowboys have closed the door on Roosters skipper Braith Anasta and entrusted the club's No.6 jumper to their own Department of Youth.

The Daily Telegraph has learnt that North Queensland smelled a rat after being secretly approached by Anasta's manager Greg Willett about a relocation.

Willett proposed that the Cowboys seek written permission from the Roosters to negotiate with the 2010 grand finalists' under-contract captain - painting Anasta as highly attracted to an immediate move to Townsville.

But North Queensland moved decisively yesterday, severing plans to enter formal talks with Anasta and re-signing 18-year-old Toyota Cup pivot Michael Morgan to a new three-year deal.

Morgan and fellow hot Townsville prospect Ray Thompson are vying for a prized NRL halves jumper next season alongside superstar No. 7 Johnathan Thurston.

"I got the taste for first grade last season and it was a fantastic experience to partner with a player of Johnathan's status," Morgan said. "I believe I can continue to learn and develop my career with the Cowboys."

much better option for them in particular (thompson and morgan are highly talented and have shown much of that in first grade already) and its good to see braith staying. whether or not we end up re-signing him will be interesting.

aw come on Chook, you know that Rothfield and co will go on to win awards based on the crap he writes. Thats what journalists do, reward each other with awards like Walkleys etc for absolute garbage alwasy devoid of the truth.

excellence in journalism equates to trash fiction
