Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I'd rather release players that don't want to be here, go for someone like Klemmer who I think could be good for a couple of years.
Hope the club settle Joffa and Hastings out firstly though.
Wonder how much the transfer fee is for Bateman? GoFundMe anyone?

Yep for Hastings. Joffa should be rewarded for his efforts during a tough year. Is passionate but no bad mouthing or finger pointing. I wouldn’t blame him if he chooses elsewhere. We gave him a lifeline and he had a crack with it so I respect that.

He is 26yrs old. He has way more than 3yrs left in the tank.
Joe is younger than Musgrove by half a year.

Would have no problem giving Joe 3 yrs

We have released heaps of players and our cap must be in very good shape , yet u telling us that there not interested in spending for next year , no wonder our great club is in decline

At some stage, there are going to be player managers with clients wanting contracts or upgrades. If we've the cash, we're in a good position. Besides, the player managers want their commissions.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Joffa told me he really wants to stay and it's up to the club.

To pay 20% more than dolphins? 😜

Yeah same. Don't understand this place at times.

He has been our best player all year, never gives up and has shown effort.
If he continues to build and we put some support around him, his SOO form which isn't far away could be regained.

 

[Telltails]

Can't recruit or retain.

Channel 10 news reported Brown cried himself to sleep after that social media stuff.

They also reported Kitione Kautoga will make his debut on the wing.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yeah, there is a relationship between Laundy and Sheens.

I'm good Lauren, get to interview Jacko on Sunday so excited about that. I hope things are well with you as well.

good luck with the interview mate, the Joffa interview was a good one

Which is why today I unchecked “auto renew” on my membership…how many failed“restarts” do us supporters need to go through before we play finals footy again…...this club has a long way to go before I pour my had earned back in its pockets….

What type membership do you get?

It's a given that we upgrade his contract since he honoured his current deal with solid performances.

He was described as the nest Fijian sensation to be unleashed by the WTs on the wing.

Thanks mate

It certainly should be but i have very little faith in our retention policies as they have failed on so many occasions

 

[1eyedmel]

He is exactly what we need to avoid.
How many punt players have we picked up over the last 10yrs and name 1 that actually delivered?

Well I don't think we have a plethora of players to pick from and we really are a club that simply needs to take a half decent player when half an opportunity arises. I would take Matt Lodge too. We call for some aggression from our lot Well here are 2 that represent that

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think if the club can negotiate a nofo release to storm it leaves Luke brooks as the sole long service discounted player at the club so effectively a 150k / 200k free hit in the salary cap.
Couple that with the fact it seems Sheens is a big fan of Brooks and that 650k salary is basically 450k on the cap I think we keep Brooks.
Then if Brooks is on 1.1 million less 450k for new deal that gives the club an extra 650k to spend
We should have plenty to go after Dylan Brown
I hope we keep Hastings he should get an upgrade and hope he is happy playing 13.

Looking for a new Tuiaki

We all do that after watching our lot play.

Yeah I do hope we come to the party (within reason).
