An update on Kelly. The outside back the Titans are chasing is Murray Taulagi from the cows, if they get him they will release Kelly, the Titans have also asked Parra for a swap deal for Guymer, we said no, not happening. Apparently we have offered Kelly a 3yr deal.
So they go for Taulagi an Origin quality Winger, we settle for Kelly? That's a joke.
Now perhaps price is sticking point of wanting Taulagi but come on.
Guymer, a future player and possibly captain for an ageing back? Please. Plus offering Kelly 3 years? I have no clue what the hell is going on. 2 years is fair, but 3?\
Surely NQ do not release Taulagi this year, Payton on thin ice, they have no depth.
Taulagi's wife's family are on the Gold coast. Titans are quietly confident, which means we will get Kelly, and he won't be here as a backup.
Fair I guess moving for family reasons.
Talk gone quiet. Usually here a little bit more by now.
Now watch it get announced at 4:00pm or something.
There's some big wraps on Guymer. In a recent podcast Moses rates right him up there with any development players coming through atm
Guymer will be a gun for us.
He came along nicely end of last year. Future captain.
Beat me to it Chief. Guymer will be there as Moses rates him highly.
Yeah, I reckon Moretti is a lock 🔐 for a bench spot no doubt
