  • Because there aren't enough off contract players to meet the demand. This is creating a bidding war. So the clubs might be in a hurry to sign players but the players certainly won't be in a hurry to sign when there's so much money available. It's a seller's market.

    • If that's the state of the market we should be consolidating our position, not going to market.

      • Agreed Adam, and I suspect that is our intent.

  • Managers and players might be holding off to see what happens with R360 they have a contract for 2026 anyway 

  • Yeah it is hard, as us fans including myself want signings. Though, at the same time you do not just sign for the sake of it either.

  • Because there's a huge Christmas announcement happening.  That's the scoop .  

    • Santa to sign 4 year deal as eels prop.

      • 1 year deal then he returns to the North Pole reindeers on a 3 year deal, just got a years experience here to fine tune his skills on loan.

        • So you're telling me Santa has a clause in his contract?.

          • 😂

"Ohh one thing I wanted to add on Munster is that when you get up to marquee type money it's not just their skill set, an important criteria is the influence the player has on his teammates. Could you get a better leader than him?"

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???

I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…
