    Dogs enforcer’s Roosters pay cut amid Gould’s dig; Panthers’ next halves back up: Transfer Whispers

    Fox League

    Bulldogs enforcer Luke Thompson is reportedly hopeful of signing with the Roosters on a contract worth considerably less than this current $800,000-per-year salary.

    The 28-year-old is in the final year of a turbulent four-year spell at the Belmore-based club, having played only 41 games and only three this year.

    According to Channel 9 reporter Danny Weidler, Thompson is keen on making the move to the Tricolours to fill the void left by Matt Lodge and Fletcher Baker's off-season departure.

    An angry Stuart could be seen mouthing 'f*** off' as he stared at the camera late in the second half - but some have suggested he said 'back off' instead.

    And Fox Sports boss Steve Crawley has now apologised for invading Stuart's personal space.

    'I spoke to Ricky this morning and apologised to him,' he told News Corp.

    With the former Canberra Raiders star only joining Rovers on a short-term deal until the end of the 2023 Super League season, question marks have been raised over where the youngster's long-term future lies.

    However, the Canberra Times is reporting that Schneider is being looked at by reigning champions Penrith Panthers in the NRL, with Ivan Cleary losing back-up playmaker Jack Cogger to the Newcastle Knights.

    When asked about Schneider's future at KR, head coach Willie Peters said: "I mean with Brad, it was always short-term, which we'd spoken about initially," Peters said.
