2025 Squad - Speculation Thread

[Leo86]

I agree with what you are saying. If a player doesn't want to be here, I don't want them forced to be. I don't want Tupou who had declined being here previously and am happy with HJH.

I am happy with the last couple days of signing and other signings that have occurred.

I don't like that either RA dragged their feet with Rodda or allegedly offered an ultimatum. That leads me to think they are meddling in other signings.

It has been speculated that Former Rebels players don't want to sign with thr Tahs.

So is RA stopping them coming to the Force or are they refusing the Force as well?

Are RA not progressing any other contracts and solely concerned with only Tahs?

in order

Agree

Certainly

I'm confident they offered an ultimatum and that pisses me off

Not really a surprise is it?

I reckon, yeah. I think it's going "we'd like you to sign with the Tahs" "I don't want to sign with the Tahs" "we le're finishing up the Tahs list first because we own them, if you're prepared to wait around until we get to [other franchise] we'll work something out...Oh, you say you'll sign for the Tahs, here's the contract we had written up for you to sign, what size Wallabies jersey do you take?"

Very interesting that we've re-rigned Franklin and Prinsep, given they are foreigners. I would've thought Tiatia and Kalapu were more important to retain than Franklin, if we have a limited number of spots for foreigners.

and 3) we (of all teams given our history) have to stick to the salary cap so it isn't just a matter of opening the owner's cheque book

Maybe the owner of RM Williams should close his cheque book!
