Ask The Lurker - Thursday

Lurker. Matt Srama

MORE: LIVE COVERAGE: Benji Marshall press conference  |  The Lurker - NRL Rumour File - Wednesday

@gc_anthony  Will the Titans sign anyone to replace Carter or just rely on the forwards they have got? Will they sign Jai Ingram? #asklurk


The Lurker: They decided not to let Matt Srama go to the Roosters - he gives them cover at hooker. They will miss Carter though - the kid can play. Not sure on Ingram.

@eagleclaw2013 @TheNRLLurker Manly lost Tetevano now Hopoate surely they have a forward or two on the radar?

The Lurker: They are looking… not much out there but I think they will land someone in the next month or so.

@natbro05  likelihood of Maloney staying at Roosters?

The Lurker: He will stay next year but I would say by 2016, he will be at the Sharkies.

@CraegP  what's happening with SKD??? A move to the shire or staying put??? #askthelurker

The Lurker: It all depends on what happens with Ferguson - if the NRL lets him play, SKD may be Cronulla bound but they are pretty well off for centres now.

@Ssjhadoken what is happening with Luke Keary beyond 2015?

The Lurker: He is in demand and not on much $$$ at present - but I think he will stay - and get a hefty pay rise.

@agrothedragon1 @TheNRLLurker as usuall #BIGBUDDY anything #DRAGONS c'mon 1 last time for AGRO.. thx mate enjoy your break, #asklurker

The Lurker: They have signed a lot of ‘no frills’ players - hopefully a few come good. They will struggle in my opinion, though. Hope you and your family have a good one, my Red V-loving pal.

@phaigh2  I wonder if kasiano will now stay a bulldog with finucane off to the storm and won't head to my dragons

The Lurker: Yes - he was set to go but will stay for 2015 now Finucane is leaving.

@davebruton78  the panthers need a forward, anything?

The Lurker: Don’t have room in the cap to sign anyone of any quality sadly.

@dantheman916  Who is the sharks next signing? Plenty of rumors

The Lurker: Maybe SKD - see above.

@Lonegull  with carter gone are Titans looking for a replacement, has o'neil and major Sponsor gone very cold #asklurk

The Lurker: See above re: Carter… O’Neill looked a done deal a month ago but seems to have died.

Sponsor also looking pretty bleak at the moment.

@Tiger_Smits  Raiders have tonnes of coin in the bank, surely someone will sign. Any ideas on who? Merry Xmas Mr Lurker. Thanks for the mail

The Lurker: They are looking - missed JWH and may have to wait til 2016 now.

@willowoz  Any word if @RaidersCanberra will make any more significant buys for 2015?

The Lurker: See above - sorry… unlikely.

@AndyMuir22  Will the Warriors nab Foran when he comes off contract? #asklurker

The Lurker: They are keen but the mail is VERY strong that he will end up at Parra 

@nafewood82 @TheNRLLurker chances of manly keeping Foran? So many stories not sure what's true!

The Lurker: See above. I originally thought they may keep Foran and lose DCE but those in the know are now indicating it might be the other way around. Massive blow if it happens. 

@kevin_naing  which club is due to announce the marquee signing and who? #AskTheLurker

The Lurker: It’s the above Parra with Foran - but won’t be any time soon

@Ben_0br1en  the knights never seem far from drama - are there cultural issues at the club that even Wayne Bennett couldn't address?

The Lurker: Not many clubs don't have drama these days - no one is immune sadly. But you are right, there are some cultural adjustments needed. I hear the place is a lot happier now Stone is back in charge.  

@BennyGollan  real story behind Raiders withdrawing JWH contract?

The Lurker: They put a big offer but added a deadline so they couldn't be used as a bargaining chip

@RLW_Mole @TheNRLLurker Any chance Moley can knock u out - maybe in the SBW undercard? #AskTheLurker

The Lurker: I have it on good authority (Buzz) that you were once knocked out by a female reporter after trying to hit on her. Can you please confirm or deny?
