Have no idea how they are under the cap a few players on big dollars

They gave Luch 700k like its nothing

It makes no sense at all.

Unless they are future planning JT to not be there.

They will ruin themselves for years to come with an avg spine🤷‍♂️

Needs to control his aggression, no use having him if he's busy getting suspended.

Or get him a Waerea-Hargreaves get out of jail free card. Hunt the head without consequence👍

 

[bigsiro]

Correct

Just looked up Pele. They say he is the greatest footballer ever.
Worth a crack then.

He also has an endorsement from Pfizer and does Viagra commercials so the TPA is already in place.I don't think he has been on the training field much lately though

Holmes - 1mil
Taumalolo - 1mil
Townsend - 800k
Leilua - 700k

Big bucks

Wade Graham is a backwards step for us, su

Why don't we take a swing at Taumalolo cows want his contract gone him and Payten have fallen out worth a shot

The only way we could have a crack at him would be if

1) we could load up all available cap space this year into his deal and we swap for Lucy keeping in mind both Lucy and Taumalolo $$$$ for this season would've already had some payments made.

2) he didn't still have 7-8yrs remaining, would need to be structured onto a 3-4yr term max which runs high risk as he will still need to be paid out same cash over a shorter period.

3) how much the Cows would cover if that was to occur

He is a great player but I would stay well clear. If it was $1mil for 2-3 yrs maybe but for what 7-8yrs and he is showing wear and tear on the body already we need to be smarter.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Good to hear mate. Massive unit but has some footwork and ability about him too, he and Stefano together would be great

I would be very happy with Pele, he and Stefano as a young prop rotation with Api the old head in the middle and Papa would be a bloody good platform to build off.

I don't think the cap applies to them they are more blatant then Roosters

 

[Tigerwould]

Correct

Just googled him. He’s 81 years old for F sake. I’m sick of these Sheen’s signing. Does have good footwork though.

and his "banana" kicks are something else🙂

 

[Newtown]

No I believe he is close to signing very reliable info he was right with API also.

Signing for 2022 or 2023?

I love Graham - And at any other time, I'd consider it....
But they're only unloading him to keep the younger, better players!!
Let them stew, This is a competition!! - At every intersection.

Sharks have had the last 10 years partially funded by the Tigers Salary Cap....
Let them wallow in their own mistakes.
Whatever we know about Graham, wouldn't be all of it...
Look at what they did to the Broncos with Bird....

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Sooo Tragic, do you believe Sheens can work his magic to acquire Pele and Nikora? Why stop at one when he can work his magic and get two. I'm disappointed as I thought you would be all over this one!

The advantage for sides like NQ is they also have players who don't want to relocate away from home and inevitably play for less than their market values as a result...

The overhead bicycle kick is even better!

He's on a million bucks a year - are you suggesting we restructure his deal so he's on two million bucks a year for half as long? Because I don't think that's going to fly.

Never so him kicking "scorpion" or "rabona" - my fav kicks🙁

My post actually said I prefer we stay clear of him.

I was just putting up the options of how such a long deal would need to be made to fit into out roster. Zero chance he leaves his cash banked living up nth qld (alot cheaper) to relocate to Sydney to a club like ours for a cheaper contract.
