Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think Sheens now has a good grasp on what contract offer we should be putting to our players coming off contract from both on-field performances & impact off-the-field.

I would expect no current player (or should I say their manager) will hold us to ransom with what we have dished up this season so ...

-No problem with extending Joffa's contract another season (to end of 24) at the same value (but no more). Take it or leave it.
-I'd offer Doeuhi another 2 years + MO (after 2023) at only slightly more than he is currently on.
-Hastings I'd offer a bit more than Doeuhi for same period. Plus extend Laurie at around $450k.
-Now to much of your dismay, I'd offer Brooks a 1-year extension to take him through until end of 2024 (final year a bit below Hastings) & get Sheens to really work on the Laurie / Korisau / Hastings / Brooks / Doeuhi combination.
-All while the next spine is being secured & progressed!

Goodbye Noffa, Roberts, Madden, Garner, Tualagi, Musgrove, Tamou, Liddle, Peachey, Gildart, Simpkin, Simpkins.

Hello players that fill deficiencies in our lineup - big/strong/aggressive middle forward; another powerful & strong defensive backrower; speed out wide! Players with passion who can lead a defensive line and ballplay.
 
Here is something to ponder, in the last 10yrs or more does anyone recollect any east player that east want to keep being taken from them by another club

Crighton example,
east have resigned him with no offers being made by other clubs to obtain him, at least I think. And all the superstars they have, when there contracts are due for renewal they dont go to market, they just resign with east, but myself, I would want to check out my value on the market before signing with anybody, does anyone else see it this way, or is it just my imagination.

While I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if the Roosters are rorting, according to organisational research the practices below are more important drivers of engagement/retention than remuneration and benefits. A comparison of us versus Roosters on these provides some insight as to why Roosters players might stay where they are for less money:

Success - Roosters (make the finals almost every year, win a few premierships) Tigers (10+ years without finals)
Wellbeing - Roosters (rest players until fully recovered, take head knocks seriously) Tigers (under Madge guys were asked to play injured and we still kinda see this a little, e.g Ken M never looks fully fit)
Values - Roosters (sell players on pride in their history and their book of fueds rivalry with souths) Tigers (media tells everyone that we struggle with our identity)
Leadership - Roosters (Successful father figures to provide life advice and post career support in Uncle Nick and Robbo) Tigers (Lee and Pascoe)
Career Opportunities - Roosters (Rookies learning off guns and veterans, with very few mid range players; sacking players to upgrade a position - such as Cheese told to come and he’ll be given an opportunity to play hooker with Verrils dumped) Tigers (Struggled with development recently but this will be a focus ongoing)
Involvement/Empowerment (not too sure about Roosters approach, Tigers under Madge seemed a bit more command and control)
Recruitment - Roosters (join us and you can learn from a team of rep players) Tigers (join us and the pressure will be on you to perform as our only rep player)
Cross Unit cooperation - Roosters (regularly talk about a one club approach where everyone in the entire club plays a roll in success and all are respected - from the chairman to the strapper), Tigers (??!Can’t comment as I’m not really sure what communication and respect is like between football and non-football staff)
