Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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

To many are on overs.

TPJ for s start

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.

Surely the Sharks must be close to max cap with the players they have... If this kid is as good as a lot say we might need to increase to get him or at least show him its a better chance at 1st grade here. Fingers crossed

If we had burton he would slot str8 into centre

Thats his best spot imho

Aren't the Dogs having difficulty registering Kikau's contract with the NRL due to the position of their salary cap?

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.

Angus was great up until last season, easy to see that Covid seemed to affect some more than others. Deserves another chance to play good footy in an improving team as a leader; much like Madge was able to have him doing at South Sydney.

These are the kinds of guys that improve optics, just hope they’re taking to measures to ensure that we in no way get played, also making a longterm offer that suits us for marquee players. Will basically be the first type of this kinda signing, as Api was predicted to leave Penrith and likely on around the same money, with Papali’i signing on for less than market value.

Crichton’s the forward leader to help Stef mature and grow into his role next year… many moving parts

We should be able to outbid the Sharks and offer him NRL game time which the Sharks cannot do with Kennedy (and won't do while Kennedy and their centre are out).

Do you pay overs for cobbo

Yes you do IMO...

 

[jadtiger]

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.

We have had a massive injury toll all season and have been the victim of a lot of disgraceful refereeing yet should have probably won 3 more games.i like our future far more than theirs as they will have to shed highly paid players yet again this year.A team full of players on overs is a long term time bomb

 

[TieDye]

Overs for Cobbo at this stage looks like around 395-495k for the next 1-2 years due to his inexperience and youth. Would have no interest in moving to NSW I believe but may be worth a shot at forcing another teams hand to play moneyball and sign anyone decent missing out.

One guy I’d like us to seriously start courting is TC Robati or even Jordan Riki, hearing that one will definitely become available within the year.

Those juniors plus Penrith and Sharks are safety nets.

Liam Martin set to reject a contract extension with the panthers

He's the ONE we should be paying overs for...
Outstanding Character, Still young - Only on the up....

And his kick chase is to die for.

Can't pay him more than papalihi.

YES YES YES to Martin.
Absolute machine

 

[TieDye]

Can't pay him more than papalihi.

Agreed. No way. He’ll be a great player in the future though. See him in that worker mould which is highly consistent, 600k p.a would be an absolute maximum.

Does anybody seriously fancy he’d actually leave?

Martin will not leave the panthers, all he is doing is trying to get extra out of them , them will up it and he will stay 100%
As for young dykes , if he is as good as they say it might be worth offering him a incentive bonus , if he plays 1st grade his money goes up .

Some players are bound to leave that squad surely, their individual values are continuously rising. Unless they all wanna keep the band together on lesser salary that they can potentially earn elsewhere I think it's inevitable some of them will move on

Absolutely right but he’s not that guy! Crichton x2?

He's signed there for 2023 tho.

 

[tony soprano]

It's like we r the only ones without cap issues because noone wants to come here.

He plays a role in the team, and he plays it well, but certainly dont think he is going to get offers as high as 750k.

Remember when Matt Dufty asked his agent to shop him around for $850k/year and absolutely no one was interested?

 

[KH1988]

I know the Penrith players are tight but they aren't staying at Penrith if they can get $150k-$200k per season extra somewhere else - especially with Nathan on over a mill a season
