Roberts will play vs Eels

Souths only named 20 players yesterday so the newly signed James Roberts will be able to be added to the 21 man squad and will line up on Friday night

  • Fuck what a signing.. surely we had some cash to splurge with all the nuphies off contract! But hold on we will sign them once we get belted on Friday!

  • Had they named 21 players yesterday they would have needed to get special dispensation from the NRL to playhim and one of the players in the 21 would have needed to have a valid reason to stop him from playing (injury or personal issue) and even then it would not have been a guarantee. A couple of years ago when Copley signed with the Titans ironically for a game against Parra, GC were not allowed to play.

      • He wasn't officially at the club yet he was still a bronci. It's the good old TBA again. So he will play (barring injury) but the spot was left open for him at it's withim the rules.

        There are plenty of rules that teams don't exploit

      • They could only name 20 because they had no-one else available, they would have had to bring someone up from outside the top 30.

  • I feel a little jealous with this. 

    One of the grand final favourites signs an origin gun and get clearance to play him this week or next while clubs like the Eels are fumbling around and can't even attract the likes of second rate DWZ.  

    I understand that Inglis exited rather quickly and that left room in the cap for the bunnies but it is clear that powerful successful and well run clubs are able to do things of this nature.  

    Luckily Parra have recently conducted a thorough review, re-signed a super coach and future representative style players. 

  • Who cares. He has been playing reserve grade and carrying an injury. 

    • Unlike every centre we have lol

  • What are your thoughts on this Brett? Sorry I said I wouldn’t stir you but couldn’t help myself lol.

  • The strong teams get stronger while the weaker ones get Bea Arthur for 2 more years.

    • Bea Arthur lol

"Now sharks turn lol. Eels get the ball in good zone. On the last they shift right. 3 on 3. Davis uses his speed to attack the centr and create a 2v1. He plays short to Howlett who scores running the gap between centre and winger. "
