Phone call between him and Madge has taken place recently
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
Can’t help but think the phone call would be looking to secure him another overpaid contract - similar to the one he’s been on.
I don’t think he is overpaid there.
They had this section on 100% footy last Monday on the salary cap and gave examples of wages in each position he was on 580k from memory. 650-700 would sure him up and give us much needed experience. His what 25? Plenty of growth still, a backrower doesn’t forget how to run and tackle. Maybe the roosters style doesn’t enable him to shine?
Thompson and Chrichton would be good. But see how Toa goes over a season.
Why would he only bring back Lennon and not Hendrix, Cobain and Jim Morrison as well? Pretty selfish of Brooks... 🤔😂😂
He's not worth the money he is on for his output but he's probably the most talented 2nd row in the comp.
Take him anytime.
I think he's paid a bit more than that...
You've gotta remember the Rabbits wanted him as well.
Was rumoured at the time to be anywhere between 750-1.0....
Roosters went hard to drive into the guts of the Rabbits.
That would be why they're asking him to take a pay cut - Which is why he's talking to us....
He's experienced, And seems like a nice guy - But I feel there's something not right about him attitude wise...
Cobain, Hendrix and Morrison all decided their own fates....
Probably didn't have much more to give.
Lennon could have written bangers forever...
You’ve got to remember he signed a 1 year contract last year. Reluctantly I’d add.
He's certainly got something - And he's probably better than what we're on...
Can't help but think we're being used as nothing but a pawn.
True....
Something stinks about it all though, Don't you think?
- Current state of origin rep player, Successful at a successful club.... Should be a walk through....
if he's ringing around - He's not calling us....
Parra also losing a heap in the back row next year - So are Storm...
he wants to get paid (Overs)
I don't think he's coming because of a relationship with the coach - Or to help us on the up...
He wants a big pay day before he goes back to retire in Union.

We have the money to give him 1 he is still a world class back rower and hasn’t looked as good in a side then when he debuted for Madge in 2017.
Agree wit the above....
Still think it can be spent more wisely.
He's not worth what we'll need to give him to get him here.
And that will leave us short for the other spots we need to fill.
But how much would it cost the Tigers to get him?
Agree about his attitude. seems to play only hard when it suits him.

Thompson, Tapine, Aitken
All been recently approached. Surprise surprise, @Lee Bulgin was on the money.
Luke wants marquee prop money and we already have Musgrove signed longterm, and looking to re-jig Tamou, while Joey is unhappy at Canberra. Crichton likely iffy
Move could be happening 🔜

Half of what he's on... At best!!
He's been bog average for a middle....
Seems to have plenty of Mongrel - It's just not working over here...
You could argue he's in an average side - But he's a middle... Middles can still do their job in an average side.
You could also argue his side is average due to him not doing his job in part...
Tapine made him look like a reserve grader on the weekend - And he's also in an average side.
He's on $800,000. Heard this from someone who would have a pretty good idea
