@mitchefc17 Heard Ricky is wanting Bird for 2015. Great mates and "pissgate" a way to get out of contract?
The Lurker: Could be - but I don’t think Titans will release him. May strip him of captaincy and fine him instead.
@mickstokes252 dale finucane?!?!?! Tigers????
The Lurker: Some chance - he spoke to Storm but they don’t have any $$$. Question of whether the Tigers can find some cash in the cap.
@jblesfooty224 do you think Souths will buy another back or invest in youth? If they go youth, do you think they'll debut round 1? #asklurk
The Lurker: It worked for them this year with the likes of Auva’a, Alex Johnston and Kyle Turner - no reason to think it won’t work again.
@Ben_0br1en with Peter O'Sullivan (Storm cap rorter), at the Chooks - surely even rival clubs raise questions about their cap shenanigans?
The Lurker: Plenty of clubs have ‘questionable’ cap processes…but, yes, other clubs do admire the work of the Roosters' accountant.
@pete_0978 what's happening with Cody Walker. All gone very quiet.
The Lurker: Yes it has… in limbo at the moment.
@Alohaduz any nq cowboys signing news champ
The Lurker: They may be getting Jahrome Hughes - good young fullback from Titans - but I think he will start with Blackhawks in QLD Cup
@brianmangels1 hey lurk whos souths 1st choice replacements for Auva'a and Tuqiri #asklurk
The Lurker: Bryson Goodwin is coming back from injury - and they have good kids to fill the other spot. See above.
@agrothedragon1 hey #lurker hearing mr WINTV BRUCE GORDAN has had enough of the mess at #saints & now wants to buy the club.. #asklurk
The Lurker: Something needs to be done at the club - maybe this is an answer! He could probably get it at a bargain basement price right now too...
@dosit1 what's happening about SKD?
The Lurker: It all hinges on Blake Ferguson. If the NRL allow him back then SKD probably walks. Cronulla were interested but are pretty well off for centres now.
@lonhro82 Any outside backs on the radar for souths? any outside backs on the radar for souths?
The Lurker: Daryl Millard is a chance and they also have some good young kids coming through the ranks.
@snackattack69 any more christmas signings for the @RaidersCanberra coming up. I hear Israel Folau is close to finalising 4 year deal.
The Lurker: Not sure when Izzy will make his mind up...probably got to ask Papa Folau that one. Don't be surprised if JWH ends up at Canberra.
@n8_Dee g'day lurk..after cutting Tetevano, is there any chance of manly picking up another front rower for 2015? #asklurk
The Lurker: They do have money for one more player and have targeted front-row as a priority. But they will have to make do with what they've got for the moment.
@LewisBunt merrin to the raiders and how about a fullback coote maybe? #asklurk
The Lurker: Coote is homesick and wants to return to Sydney. Don't think Ricky will get Merrin.
@hayrooster anymore pre season gains/ losses for Roosters! Fergo not included!!
The Lurker: Matt McIllwrick is a good late pick-up but no others on the horizon for now.
@dennistesia People keep mentioning parra have a bigger signing than A.watmough coming up. Any guess as 2 who? My mail is foran. Anything?
The Lurker: Your mail is strong but there is still plenty to play out. Manly are extremely confident of retaining both their halves.
@samthewarden @TheNRLLurker tell me the Tigers are gonna sign some forwards! One! Something!
The Lurker: Missed out on FPN and will probably just rely on the good, young kids they have. Not many $$ left in the bank so they can't pay 'overs'...unlike some other clubs! Dale Finucane falls into that category. They are keen but whether they can afford him is another thing.
@Ace_ZI10 Possible Wests Tigers targets? #asklurk
The Lurker: See above...wish I could play Santa and deliver someone for you.
