I can't see him playing for the Titans this year. He would probably just move up there and train for next year.

Yeah most likely. Would make an awesome addition to their team though to finish off the season. The decision would've been made so much easier since he's leaving anyway, if he was contracted for another year, the Roosters probably wouldn't release him tbh, they're that desperate.

The Dragons seem to have a trend in signing toiling fringe forwards for next year.

That's what happens when you lose the best coach in the game. I'd be very worried if I was a St George fan.

Just updated the first page, let me know if I've missed any!

They're not big name players so could be why you've left them out, I dont know but:

Broncos signed Nick Slyney
Shannon Walker has gone to RU
Will Tupou has gone to RU
Cowboys have signed Luke Harlen

Luke Stuart is retiring
Chris Hicks is retiring

Sisi Waqa has re-signed
David Simmons has re-signed
Jason Bakuya has re-signed
Isaac John has re-signed

You need to take out Joel Moon from Warrrior's off contract list and fix up Atelea Vea in the Storm's list

:)

It's been on the cards a while, he has been out of favour. The Raiders main concern is they don't have anyone to replace him with though.

They are a club going down the gurgler.
 
Raiders have a few youngster who could potentially fill the void. Drury Low, James Stuart, Reece Robinson. Nathan Massey may have to bide his time on the wing for a few years with Dugan in the squad.

Going to be interesting to see how the Dragons backline shapes up next year with a few FG quality players capable of multiple positions.

Yeah, I don't rate any of those players. It also more or less means makeshift centre Joel Thompson will have to stay in that position.

James Stuart isn't first grade standard, and Robinson is debatable.
 
Liked what I saw from Robinson when I saw him. Though hard to maintain form when he is in and out of the side (not due to form but due to not being first choice). If they stick him on the Wing and keep him there, I think he will go alright.
Little surprised but also not surprised if its the case that he's not getting along with Furner and has attitude problems.

Danny Galea has signed a two-year with the Penrith Panthers from 2012

The Panther's recruitment this year has been very poor IMO.

It's no worse than last season tbh. From what I can tell, Penrith's salary cap has been royally screwed by Mick Leary and Gould is having issues in fixing this. Apparently a few players are on overs. Would not surprise me if Adrian Purtell was one of them.

2013 is supposed to be the year for recruitment so I am hoping Penrith will pick it up then.
 
Clint Newton to return to the NRL

Joins Penrith from 2012.

Hull Kingston Rovers can confirm that they have agreed to release Clint Newton from the remaining year of his contract.
Newton will leave the club at the end of the season to join NRL outfit Penrith Panthers on a two-year deal.
The former Melbourne Storm man has played 97 matches since his debut in 2008 and has been largely an ever present for the Robins.
Rovers Chairman Neil Hudgell admitted it was a difficult decision to allow Newton to return to Australia.
“We were approached some time back by the Panthers for permission to speak to Clint,” Hudgell commented.
“We eventually granted them permission and having had many discussions with Clint over a number of weeks we have agreed to his release.
“Clint’s reasons for wanting to return home now are perfectly understandable and given his exemplary service to the club over the last four years we were prepared to grant him a release.”
Penrith Panthers General Manager Phil Gould said: “On behalf of the Panthers I would like to thank Hull KR Chairman Neil Hudgell and his management team for the professionalism and compassion they have displayed in allowing Clint to return to the NRL”
“Clint speaks glowingly of the treatment he has received since arriving at Hull Kingston Rovers and I know it was a tough decision for him to come back to Australia.”
“We at the Panthers know we are getting a quality player and the fans of Hull KR can rest assured Clint will be representing their great club and the English Super League as he plays his remaining years in the NRL competition.”
