Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[supercoach]

The Chooks will not let Angus walk unless they can get something better. They are in a hole now because Cordner and French both retired, they can’t afford to let another hard head walk. You can have your Sam Walkers, Suli’s and promisingly young forwards, but comps are won by hard heads

Roosters also selling Luke Keary to get Munster at all costs

Angus verbally agreed but they can't register the contract with the nrl due to salary which is why they are shopping him

Keary is one head knock away from a medical retirement

When they sign them it’s a good deal, good business, always less then the murmured amount and always most certainly less than 1m dollars.
When they look to release them though.
It’s another story entirely.
Pearce went from a respectable 600k-700k a year taking unders to the Roosters clearing 1 million off their cap when they moved him on.
Pretty sure Keary resigned for just under 800k. I’m not surprised when they are talking about making room that he is on 1.3m.
This is my theory.
And I would most definitely apply to the Roosters.
Clubs get public about ‘salary cap struggles’ to well make it publicly known that they need more cash.
Third parties catch on and are keen to see the roosters continue on their winning ways and also want to do whatever they can to ensure a player like Hass or Munster can fit under the salary cap when it’s required.
Currently Angus is the only player without a contract for next year.
The roosters are making this noise to either get support to resign him or let others know his availability.

Angus drama was there in the off season,him n Brooks at City Town Lowes,sporting next season;s colours, due 2 magic round

how do teams manipulate the medically retired rort,its ok if club is cash rich,but how,please explain

I get that a lot of you hate Brooks and his salary. Give him until this time next year. See where he is at. If he is playing well this time next year and he thinks his best footy is here, he might take a big pay-cut to stay here for another contract. Especially if we re-sign Hastings and the two are combining well. No way would you want to break that up.

In any case, I trust the powers at be will make the right decision.

If we have alot of spare cap this year upgrade and extended him pay huge this year drop his salary for the next few years average it out to 650K for the next 4 years

Good question as @THE_POM sounded confident he would be here 2023 and working on early release... Fingers crossed something goes our way soon

It’s the Harold Matt’s fullback from the Sharks, not Dykes that the article is talking about

Look let's be honest we were lucky to miss out on the big money targets whoever was running running show previously.

TPJ, JAC, lattrell not worth the value for various reasons.

News now we shopping liddle, did madge do that contract?? I have little faith he knows what he is doing. Laurie's his only okay Signing.

I'm glad sheens and co are now working in this space. But really, the club should provide us an update. Has Sheens done an interview once on WT website and told fans and members what's going on, not once. I still don't know what he does apart from him saying several times hes not coaching.

With how poor the club are doing it would be nice to be more informed with what's doing in the future.

Noone has a clue what's doing apart from vague info on here from some posters. Media has no clue.

Laurie was Madge's only okay signing???

Under Madge we've signed (off the top of my head):
Laurie
Doueihi
Utoikamanu
Luciano
Blore
Maumalo
Peachey
Gildart
Musgrove
Tamou
BJ
Tuilagi
Kepaoa
Hastings
Koroisau
Papalii
Simpkin
Simpkins
JTJ
Ofahengaue
Harry Grant (loan)
Tom Amone
Billy Walters

Yeah there are 100% a few dud signings in there but you can't look at that list and tell me he's only made "one okay signing"

And just on the last bit, I'd be happy that no one knows what's going on, ESPECIALLY the media. Gone are the days where everything the club did was leaked almost immediately to the media. Not sure how you're managing to take that as a negative?

 

[WT2K]

Is this Dykes? Yay

Not Dykes. It's their HM captain Chevy Stewart

They were also considering the union convert Lachy Miller...

Bulldogs trying to strengthen a clear weakness.

Wish we'd do the same.

It's a likewise injury comparison to AD.
First few yrs we had teddy and First few years we've had AD.
Paws brought it up and I compared to teddy.
We know how good he turned out to be.
Don't hate on the King.

Teddy while a good player, is a gold digging ferret(with new Nic Politus teeth) & someone who doesnt deserve to be remebered as a TIGER!

I dont get all this happy to miss out on Nikora business, im not happy we missed him he plays in a position we are very very light in. I am however happy we made an offer of his worth maybe even slightly above and his current club offered more so be it.

Its like Luch cowboys offer him $700 if we offered him $750 he stays here but thats way above his current worth, theres no point bending your cap so far out of whack for non spine players. Im also unhappy Luch is going but if we did pay $750 i wouldnt be on board with that.

Luch a talent . Nikora, while solid is a grub. Dont need him, or want him.
