Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Seems that Matt Lodge has purchased a dwelling on the Northern Beaches .. read into that what you like .. Sea Eagles bound .. ??
 
I find it quite strange and believe something is brewing behind the scenes.
@THE_POM updated us about the Augus C meeting and Lee also said it went well with us going to put an offer through to him for around 2.1m.. Reading into this it makes me think they would of discussed our $$$ and they wouldn't even put an offer together if the money was not right in the first place. Our recruitment team have been very very quite until an announcement takes place and I think this could be the case IF the offer was put forward...
Maybe I'm more wishing but still hold hope..
 
I would love Angus at the tigers but not for stupid money. When someone reported 2.2 for 3 years (ave 733K per year) that would be absolute max , for mine.
Anything above that would weaken other areas of the top 30 too much.
 
Yes, not likely to happen from what I was told.
According to @THE_POM pre-Naden: “Club also trying to fast track a move for Kade Dykes this week, they want him at the club before the bye round. 2023 terms agreed upon”.

So unless Dykes was using us too to get a commitment from his family Club, he’s with us next season.

Our offer is not stand alone. It needs to be considered in comparison to what Papali'i will receive. Papali'i is the form player in the NRL in the second row.
 
At this stage it's looking like my mail was right. In saying that, it's the NRL, that can change depending on which way the wind blows.
Not getting a contract yet..things could change. Think he stay at Roosters anyway.

I understand that but we picked Papa up very cheap and I'm sure once here and he maintains his high playing standards we would look to extend and increase if needed.
But just because we snagged him cheap doesn't mean we will get more players cheap but the real balance for me is team morale. I think 750k for Angus would be max and other players would not be too concerned but anything over that might hurt some feelings..
Time will tell

600 isn't very cheap. But his form warrants.another 100k to be honest. We can upgrade end of next year if his form continues.

Yeah I'd offer 650-700k for Crichton. Take it or leave it
 
Foxsports saying cobbo likely to re-sign with broncs and lose out on 200k a season.
Yeh, ok🙄
He'll be driving a new Audi.and living in a new house at Ashgrove right after signing. Poor guy taking unders...
It’s only clubs like ours who believe remuneration for players extends to salary cap earnings in isolation.
 
I wonder who else would be talking to Angus. I haven't heard of any other club talking to him, so maybe he will have to decide on taking a cut at the Roosters or taking up our offer?
The other option is Rugby and there is a World Cup coming soon

Yeh.
Cobbo will have his 5 brothers and sisters plus his parents working at Red Hill.
We baulk at giving latrells fat brother a dev contract.
We have to compete just as hard off the field, behind the scenes.
Pascoes prob too shit scared now from the farah balls up to ever try again.
 
700k on Chricton is a better decision than 500k on Hetherington or Jack bird. Cap management is important but you can pay big overs for lesser players in that 400-500k range. I don’t want Jack bird but hetherington albeit a wild soul can cover many positions in the forwards.
