Even from an injury perspective, his hamstring issues seem to precede his union career.
RA would pay most of that? Or the Reds?That’d free up a good chunk of salary cap space. From memory he’s on around $600k or something like that?
I wonder if this is someone returning home, or a new player who has not previously been with the Reds?Because a lot of this is still ongoing I think it’s prudent for me to stay out of the speculation for now. It’s a delicate time for many of these guys. Remember that there is a difference between the players who are contracted to the end of next season and the ones who were only contracted for this year. It’s harsh, but RA is obliged to place the first group as priority.
What I can say is that I’m aware of some more overseas signings, another for the Reds, and a few for the Waratahs. I’ll leave it up to the clubs to announce those. There are also a couple of injury enforced retirements.
Unfortunately, I expect there’ll be some talented young guys left without a contract and they’ll have to submit themselves to training with a new franchise and trying to earn a spot that way.
Sad about the retirements and the overseas signings, wonder who they are. Talakai to retire?Just saw an interesting comment by Geoff Parkes on the Roar

Or maybe JOC (James O'Connor) or Jock?Good to welcome Filipo back to Ballymore!
Wonder if this is another indication Petaia is gone.
