Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

if Munster goes to dolphins and douhie to stor then we have 650k to spend on our cap for 2024
As far as Brooks go you get the long service 150k allowance so as long as Sheens can negotiate 2024 and beyond down to say 650k that becomes 500k straight away. That is a good deal for brooks if we can keep Hastings.
Then with Brooks reduced salary and Douhie's you have (650k plus 650k) 1.3 million to go after Dylan brown or Moses or even tedesco

"If there is a will, there is a way", and "the way" shall be easy, just copy/implement the Rorters/Dogs system!
To accomplish that, a drastic change is needed in our administration!

Why would you consider baitman with a big transfer fee he would close to $1,000,000 with transfer and salary and we all remember the way he walked away from Canberra when under contract there team was way better than these reserve graders

Except transfer fees aren't included in the salary cap. If the reported $350k transfer fee is true then that's between the clubs. His salary (~$600k) will be the only cost included on the cap.

He's not worth a million but is he worth the same price as Papali'i? That's the real argument.
 
Don't let the smooth talking Braith fool you he is quite open about how unprofessional West Tigers where and still are. Munster was always going home to Brisbane and we had no hope of signing him at all and it is the same with Sua from the Dragon's he wants to go home for family reason.

Have you ever thought the Storm might want to replace Munster with a good player ? I.e Dylan Brown and not Doueihi. If
Munster does leave. It's no certainty they will want Doueihi. Storm enquired about him as a loan player to fill in for injuries. Maybe not as a full-time 5/8.

SOMETHING IS WORRYING ME ABOUT THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

The Rorters are the big worry, they know how to work the CAP & they are in a position of being able to win quite a few Grand Finals, with the talent they have control over.

And with team number 17 entering the Competition next year, the depth of talent for other Clubs is diminishing, especially for the likes of us.

And you can see in the next 2 or 3 years the NRL will be bringing team 18 into the competition.

Making it then the top 8,
And the bottom 10.
This will also increase the NRL'S Television right's value by a considerable amount.

And this also will again deplete talent among the weeker clubs,
and enforcing the strangleholds,
sides like East will keep.

Prime example of the Power East have, is the amount of big money players they may lose for next year due to the CAP, NONE MENTIONED YET.

WHERAS PENRITH
Has been busy offloading big money players so they remain CAP compliant for 2023.

And last but not least is the increase in the Cap,
I would have thought we would know how much it is going to be by now,
so teams not making the 8 could workout what to do & how much they will have to do it with.
But, no mention yet, meaning the lower teams are again held back.
And top 8 teams are not worried cause they are in the 8.

The salary cap will be precisely what Uncle Nick wants it to be

Same way the Rorters are doing it:

Tedesco = $450; Manu = $250; Keary = $400; Tupou = $200; Crighton = $450; JWH = a bucket of dog biscuits a week; Radley = $300; Sualii = $200; Walker = $250

So in total they only spend $2,500, 000 and a bucket of dog biscuits a week per season for all those players .. easy .. !! ;-)
 
We're about to see the birth of Dad Mode Brooks.

About to join the historical greats such as Beau Ryan (Headgear version) & Busty Tuki.

We're about to see some improvement, only took 10 years & fatherhood.

Congrats, you're the man now.
