Ask The Lurker - Thursday

Lurker. Sika Manu

@HaydonGuyatt  Sika Manu to Manly, Dean Whare to Souths, Kane Evans to Penrith, Michael Jennings to Penrith ??? #askthelurker

The Lurker: Roosters have told Evans he can NOT go - and the others don’t look real good either - except maybe Manu.  MJ very happy where he is.

@DingoErnie  are sharks announcing new signings and if they are who? Heard SKD maybe be one of them?

The Lurker: They still have a little money to spend and have several players in their sights - with SKD at the top of the list. Roosters will release him - if they get Ferguson.
 
‏@agrothedragon1 hey @TheNRLLurker I'm hearing REDV are interested in cowboy Jason talmololo #anytruth

The Lurker: Just about every club in the game is keen - can’t see him going there though. Sorry old friend

@jblesfooty224  Nightingale, Millard, Leutele, Whare all being linked to Souths... who are they going to sign lurk?? #askthelurker #asklurk

The Lurker: Whare seems the best chance at this stage - Millard also a possibility.

@antonposa hey @TheNRLLurker here's a question. If Merrin's turned down that huge dragons contract, which clubs are in a position to top it? #asklurk

The Lurker: Roosters have ways of making players sign. They will start favourites.

@JohnBongJovi  What are the chances of Israel Folau singing with the Roosters, based upon a percentage? And is he off-contract for 2015?

The Lurker: He won’t go anywhere til 2016 - then the Roosters are favourites to get him but don't rule out Dogs.

@freeballs  will nightingale go the Bunnies??
 
The Lurker: There is a chance but they are looking for a centre more than a winger
 
@Lonegull  what's the latest on the Titans major sponsor seems to be taking a while and any centres going there way #asklurk
 
The Lurker: Things are going slowly with both sadly. Still chasing a sponsor.
 
@nathanlwebb1980  now that Merrin is going to test the market, who are the most likely teams to sign him?
 
The Lurker: See above - Roosters or Manly. I don't think he wants to leave NSW
 
@Ben_0br1en  with the depth in the knights' backline - Matu'atia boys will be hard to accommodate. Anyone on the outer? Gids to UK in 2016?
 
The Lurker: Club will find spots for them… I believe they will stay. Gids’ time is almost up - move makes sense
 
@_Jake_Morris Any big name NRL players expected to play in the Auckland Nines next year, other than JT? #askthelurker
 
The Lurker: Clubs headed for a showdown with NRL - they won’t want their big names playing. Pity. 
 
@daniel____89  chances of finucane staying at the dogs? Can't see why they would release him and keep the older guys who are due to retire
 
The Lurker: It depends on how much other clubs throw at him. Again, it comes down to money. I think he will go - maybe Storm.
 
@scottmcg12  FPN to raiders... Swap for a needed hooker? Or falling out ????
 
The Lurker: He has been looking for an out for months… has a few “issues” off the field. I see the Chooks have signed Matt McIlwrick from the Raiders as a back-up hooker. Good move.

@superman2144 is it true Bulldogs still hunting for a FB for 2015?
 
The Lurker: Still looking to see what is around, yes. But no big names. They do have in-house options
