Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[PJ2]

I can't even point you in the correct direction (the threads are everywhere and no doubt spreading). In short, the comments reflected the background noise that a certain club is interested in Brooks but he is a contracted WTs player and will remain one. I believe there was mention of him being a one club player but perhaps someone else can confirm it. We've had the Hull, Klemmer, Fritzell and no doubt a few other rumours. It is out of hand.😀

This place does need some fresh extra mods.
Just none with a badge

i apologise for my opinion being in the wrong thread but im not sure how to start a thread..i believe we are getting around 100k for Noffa, lets say 50 k for Gildart, 200k for Luci and say 100k for Thomas M leaving the club, where has this money gone?? I believe we have extended Toa and AJ but surely there must be a heap more money available, if someone could shed light on what the club are doing with these extra funds would be appreciated.

I think that this is the right thread for this. Rumour has it that the extra $$$ is being used to front load next year's contracts, so we have more money to play with in '23. Another rumour was about paying some of Brook's contract for next season, to lessen the impact of paying him to play elsewhere, though someone said that we couldn't do that.

Smoke for the Knights whose coach is under extreme pressure to retain his job and cannot go into next season without an established half.

What if Brooks goes there and O'Brien gets punted - Brooks might want to backflip. I wonder if we would agitate to get him back.

He's only 17/18 and the SG Ball (U/19's) season finished months ago.

The only age comp still ongoing at the moment is Flegg (U/21's) so it's a big step up in age, hence Manly not picking him.
Just an age thing rather than a banishment, I assume.

Making his debut off the bench for our Flegg team this weekend apparently.

The rise in the age groups of Matts, Ball and Flegg has screwed over players like Feledy. Suddenly they're deemed too young for a competition like Flegg that he would 100% have played most of the season in a few years ago. Flegg should be u20s, otherwise there's this age group of 17-18 year olds who play 8 matches in a year.

Idk if Semi Radradra is available , if he was I’d offer him the FB position and $900k per year. Selling point Api. He would light up the place , a real entertainer, but could also strengthen the spine. Just a thought.

No way , have watched him in the Gallagher rugby league, he has lost it , was very average

 

[tiger_scott]

+ $900K should get you a proven elite. Last time he played league was as a winger. It's a lot to spend to hope he went well.

O'Brien is desperate for a 7, I don't think Sheens will move Brooks on in 2023
without Brooks O'Brien is finished

the 150k from this year plus the long term player bonus of 200k from nrl if that goes on to Brooks 2023 salary of 1.1 million tha takes his 2023 salary to 750k
At 750k for 2023 I don't think Sheens would move Brooks on

I’m going off fumes. Haven’t seen him for a long time. He might even be 33 years old.

if they can manage to keep nofo in Melbourne then that is 450k that can go in Brooks and his salary for 2023 becomes roughly 300k
Then for 2024 and above we get the long service bonus so that is a straight 200k coming off Brooks salary for those years anyway

I had the misfortune of listening to O'Brien speak post game.

I couldn't see Melbourne keeping Noffo unless he was highly subsidised. From what history has shown us, they spend big on the spine and not so much on outside backs. I think he'll be back.

Which is unfortunate 🙄

Tyson averaging 105m & 94% tackle efficiency in ‘22, an off year.


Compared to our current backrow options:
Kelma 64m & 90%
Garner 75m & 93%
Seyfarth 41m & 94%
Pole 95m & 98%
Joffa 124m & 93%

It’s a no-brainer really, whether we get IP or not.

Wow. And to think there are morons on here who are fans of the guy.

 

[Stevec]

The Thread needs to be "Suggestions and Rumours " drop the word
"Signings" because we don't have any . Cant blame the forum because with nothing but silence out of Tim &co what else is there ? Sheens give fans an update because its a case of " no news is bad news"

Perhaps like Momirovski, we can offer him to Roosters and Panthers for A Crichton and Fisher-Harris?

The Roosters will retire Keary, freeing up $2.6M per year to go and get a few more marquees.
