With the explosion in mid-season player movements, you’d be forgiven for thinking we're mimicking the English Premier League.
Here’s a quick run-down on where your club is at:
Broncos: Picked up Frawley from the Raiders. Wallace from the Panthers is under consideration as is Clinton. Resigned to losing Tate most likely to the Warriors.
Bulldogs: Rumoured to be in the hunt for White and Cross from the Storm. Tonga looking to link up with the Cowboys with Utai possibly heading to the Eels. O’Hara from the Tigers also looks likely. Hughes won’t be getting a new contract and there has been some pressure applied to Folkes as head coach.
Cowboys: Looking to pick up Tonga from the Bulldogs and Burns from the Sea Eagles.
Dragons: Picked up Soward from the Roosters mid-season. Will shed Richie Williams to either the Raiders or Rabbitohs and Luke MacDougall has gone to the Knights. Targetting Watmough from the Sea Eagles. Hornby also off contract and they’d want to move on him soon. Brown’s tenure still under pressure, although weight of injuries has eased things.
Eels: Marsh looking for a new home. Green might be on his way out too with the Sharks and Roosters possibilities. Utai from the Bulldogs a possibility to come across.
Knights: Shed Newton who has gone to the Storm. Davico retiring, Woolnough, Perry, Tighe, Carmont, Thaiday, Abraham, Tanner, Seage and Brown told to look elsewhere. Picked up Vuna from the Warriors and MacDougall from the Dragons and also looking at Ryles.
Panthers: Wing keeps on getting mentioned, perhaps if they lose Wallace to the Broncos. Clinton also the target of the Broncos. Were very keen on Carney and Dobson from the Raiders.
Rabbitohs: Several youngsters have agreed to terms including Gordon, Champion, Talanoa and Paea. Looking at Richie Williams from the Dragons.
Raiders: Frawley gone to the Broncos. Irwin has been told to look elsewhere. Joel Monaghan could be on his way back. Carney and Dobson both sought after in the player market.
Roosters: Looking at Green from the Eels with Anasta to play lock.
Sea Eagles: Michael Monaghan out the door frees up some cash. They might need it to keep Watmough who is being pursued by the Dragons.
Sharks: Told Ross, Hannay, Stapleton and Greenfield to find new homes. Were very keen on Carney also and perhaps Tupou and Soliola are on their way there. In the hunt for Green from the Eels and Dobson from the Raiders.
Storm: Picked up Newton from Newcastle in a great coup. Cross could be headed to the Bulldogs.
Tigers: Were interested in Clinton from the Panthers but path seems to have gone cold.
Titans: Picked up Lewis from the Roosters.
Warriors: Trying to persuade Tate from the Broncos to join his brother-in-law across the Tasman. Shed Vuna to the Knights last week.

its a joke lacking in ethics if you ask me
