Sorry just can't see this one happening.

Maybe your sources are just having a laugh at your expense....why not...we are still fair game at the mo.

GI came out only 3 weeks ago saying how much he loved Storm and wanted to stay....HE said how much he owed the club.

To say that within 3 weeks he is signed sealed and delivered to the chooks would be bizzare to say the least.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

To be expected when you have a large collection of the best players in the world and suddenly their contracts look weak  ;-)

i dont know eagle he would be an asset for us, i wish we were chasing him now that we have released matai..

maybe a roosters are smarter than the storm in that they  DONT RECORD ANY ILLEGAL  DEALINGS IN A BOOK!!!!!!
DEADSET why would you record illegal dealings down ,its not like they can take the player to court if he renegs on the deal ..they would expose themselves then also..

They didn't actually have two sets of books, they had two contracts, one for the player and one for the NRL.

Seriously doubt this rumour. Our players haven't been given permission to negotiate with
other clubs so if other clubs are off negotiating without permission then they open themselves
up to penalties from the NRL.

Though I guess the article does insinuate things have been happening behind closed doors.
