NRL Contract Overview - 2023




Departures since the start of 2022



Above includes Mbye deal, which WT officially move on from next Tuesday 1 November.

 

[Fraze23]

At least he's consistent in all aspects of his life. He goes missing on the field when the going gets tough too...

Moses going for dad of the year misses birth then goes to world cup.

 

[Tito Santana]

Brown is cooked.

No he’s not.

Great work so I take it we can sign 4 more for 2023 ?
Taking the 26 ,note 4 never played 1st grade Nrl and a couple more have but not very successfully . Would love a big up front forward , an edge forward and a center

Rubbish

Moses would be 29 for majority of season 24 & has a good 5-6yrs left.
For halfbacks he would be in his prime years between 29-33yrs old.

Most of the best halfbacks all have years on Moses.
DCE 5yrs, Hughes 6mths, Hunt 4yrs, Keary 3yrs, Reynolds 4yrs, Townsend 3yrs etc

Cleary is 4yrs younger, Hynes is 18mths younger.

Not rubbish at all.
look at our clubs record of purchasing players that were closer to 30 than 20 and you will find, the service we have received has not been all that great, We basically got Benji out of school and a heap of our Stars started with our club when they were under 25.

 

[gallagher]

Imagine trying to oversee the departure and signing of players, negotiating with player managers, rosters spots and contract $. With this in mind, what is happening is a coordinated effort to get the best available from staff at our club. The club receives a lot of negative press but what is happening now is impressive from my point of view.

Par for the course for any half decent ran club.

Nick Graham….G.O.A.T

 

[Cobarcats]

Now he's getting well wishes .This forum was ridiculing him from about Rd 2 onwards . I thought he was good in attack and a bit weak in defence as is most of our backline

I've never ridiculed him in fact whilst he was having troubles with D I stood up for him.
The fact is he didn't cut it so try somewhere else, and yeh, good luck to him. Needs to hit the tackle bags in the off season.

Lots of questions have been asked about reserve grade, and where the Balmain Tigers have gone.
If you think about things that have been happening ever since the amalgamation.
The West side of things have been pushing towards the return of WEST MAGPIES.
And they are getting closer to their main goal.
Which is to totally eliminate the Tiger,
And replace it with the Magpie.
No black white and gold
Just,
Black & White

I could believe that if they had of moved to Campbo fulltime, built the COE there, always played in mainly black jerseys and kicked off all Balmain reps from the board. But they havnt.

What do you see happening that's made you think the way you do ?

 

[weststigers]

Who is that.

Exactly

 

[tigeress]

Odd considering the minimum wage is more than that....
And probably going up

Well the minimum wage is far too much for a lot of these players

 

[tony soprano]

Interesting thing about Moses I member sheens saying in a recent interview. The topic of halves got brought up and sheens mentioned parra cannot kick on to win the GF because of their halves. (something like that)

Seems odd now he willing to throw big money to him.

Curious to know what their 2-3 year strategy is with the halves.
