Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You overpay for players like Angus

Maybe a little, but we cant break or model. Make it a factor of the model (i.e. Marque bonus). We also need to be conscious of Papalihi who we got for an amazing price. It could create an issue if we're not careful. The original comment was about recently missed signings though. There was none I would overpay for.

Crichton still a big chance. Talks with Madge Sat. Boys playing Sunday and I am surely expecting to hear news RE: Dykes signing outcome by Tuesday.

Is Dykes looking likely to come?

wants a silly amount of money, you tell him "no thanks" and walk away from the deal. And you negotiate this way 100% of the time, so prospective players are aware of what they are dealing with. "You've gotta pay overs" is only said by clueless pundits or desperate fans who have no responsibility for or knowledge of the club's salary cap.

Gold.

Now that the Brit Nikora dust has settled , I'm happy the Tigers didn't Panic and pay massive overs for this guy.

Whilst he is good, he isn't the out and out gun 2nd rower that Papalii and Kickau are in that position.

Our Management are holding their Nerve in this Long Term rebuild.

I would say it’s 50/50 with Sharks coming to the table late, whole situation benefitting them ATM.

We definitely are still in the hunt but he’s not certain.

I'm happy for us to pay overs for genuine stars. Not for Aitken and Nikora. If I was Papali'i and read Nikora was on money like mine I'd be spewing, well played WT.

On the right price Nikora would be perfect. We couldn't get him at the right price.

I was worried with the dollars being stated. I'd pay that much for Crichton or Martin. You'd pay those two more than Nikora.

Dam, we just can’t seem to sign anyone good during the season. Hastings was the only exception last year but was a bit of a risk at the time.

Paying overs is a guaranteed way of not improving,the dogs are a perfect example of that

Do you pay overs for cobbo

Angus C is a very good player,

Hasn't been consistent in a largely consistent team.

Im not sure he is the Marquee that we need culturally at the Tigers.

Overhyped imo.

We have the same record as the Dogs. I’m not saying we should have thrown the kitchen sink at Nikora but the reality is that we’ve won two games this year and have a massive whole in the backrow for next year so we have to do something in terms of signings l.

 

[Spartan117]

What News of locking up Jackson Hastings?

Hurry Up WT Management

Yep, Unless the Dogs are cheating, They're in a whole lot of Salary Cap hurt.

To many are on overs.

What is overs ? He has a lot of talent.

 

[hammertime]

The right player will come up. Patience is key. The worst scenario is that we blood some of our up-and-coming stars early.

We have a stunning new training facility very soon. I know I like a nice office to go to.... We have 2 very experienced coaches, some great assistants, a CEO who is ensuring the finances are there for the best equipment and support staff. Plus, the inner west as a place to get the family home near concord.

We've got a lot more going for us than we think. The right player will come.

Oh, and the best fans in the league yeah?
