Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3695465, member: 1899"] They always seemed resigned to losing Manu, but they were confident he'd return to them again. That withered through out the year but I guess we'll see in 2026. I think you're right on Tupouniua and that's another reason why the Fifita backflip hurt them. The Roosters were making room for Fifita so they gave Tupouniua an early release from his contract and by the time the Fifita deal fell through, Tupouniua had all but committed to the Bulldogs. The Roosters had shown their hand. The May situation is different. The Roosters have decided to wash their hands of him and move forward. There's always talk surrounding that family and despite Terrell being a stand-out player these past couple of years they wanted to move on. Their recruitment reminds me a lot of 2016. That was the year where they lost RTS, Maloney and then decided to release Jennings on top of that. They cleared the decks, slowly blooded the next generation and gave themselves room to land the big signings like Tedesco, Cronk and Crichton. I think we'll see a similar bounce back soon, I just wonder who they're going to target. Selwyn on paper would seem like an obvious talent, but I'm not sure if it'll be a good fit. [/QUOTE]
