great leadership

Like he did when he was captain ?

 

[WT2K]

it would seem pretty certain Brooks and douhie will be here 2023.
Think if Hastings can get a 7 gig 2023 he will be released early
2024 all three look to be gone, Brooks chasing the cash, do think douhie if he wanted to play centre Sheens might keep him who knows

Meant for 24

We won’t release Hastings early as we won’t have anyone to play 13.

Woods probably arriving 2023 due to Newcastle not releasing klemmer due to Tigers not releasing Brooks

Second hand (and about a week old) info so perhaps should not be taken as fact.
Klemmer release independent of Brooks. Klemmer assessing other offers and his preference is another Sydney club who are offering similar money as Tigers are for 24 and 25. They however at this stage will not pay full freight for Klemmer for 23 whereas Tigers will. Knights will not grant Klemmer release unless new club takes the whole of the contract.
Negotiations on going but the likely outcome will be Klemmer will see out his contract at Newcastle before moving on at the end of 23.
2nd most likely will be other club moves on a player and ups their offer for 23 to secure Klemmer.
And least likely Klemmer is here in 23.

Bateman will play 13
I know you don't like the idea but Hastings to Newcastle to play 7 and they release Klemmer to Tigers for 2023

Bateman won’t play 13 as it leaves us short in the backrow. If Bateman is coming he’ll be on the edge Papali’I on the other and Hastings 13. Newcastle don’t want Klemmer so really we shouldn’t have to give up someone for him.

if we give Newcastle Hastings to play 7 they may release klemmer, no interest in releasing klemmer if they have no 7 e.g. brooks

makes sense why the klemmer delay

Teddy openly said he like working with Taylor

That was only because he had to work with Taylor as Easts assistant coach after signing with them!

He also claimed to go to Easts for less money....

Teddy is not particularly honest at the best of times!

Squid Game anyone??

 

[earl]

It's a debacle atm. I really hope all this news all turns out to be nonsense.

Honesty and integrity aren't things he cares too much about.

Better to give them what they want (Brooks) while they’re still stupid enough to want him.

 

[weststigers]

This is a black and white argument. Woods isn't a realistic target if we want to be a better club.

If you can't get those guys then get someone else. Give a gun junior a 3rd party contract.

Why waste extra money on a player who is barely a first grader and screwed the club over ? It's stupid.

It seems completely incompetent.

What’s a 3rd Party contract?

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

New star kebab for life bro.

The one on the other side of the station is pretty good, too.

 

[weststigers]

“Massive boost” is a stretch…how can these players love the club when they walked out on it. Toxic relationship.

Don’t you read to the end?

 

[earl]

What’s a 3rd Party contract?

This is one of the big reasons not to sign Woods.

1. It's a waste of a contract spot.
2. Some rich dude is prepared to chuck in money to get Woods. This money should be used to get a much better player. This is the 3rd party contract.

 

[Cobarcats]

The sad punchline is that it could happen.

"Captain" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never heard of a 3rd party contract.

Do you mean TPA? 3rd party agreement?

 

[the_third]

What’s a 3rd Party contract?

its an agreement brokered outside the club that is like a sponsorship of a player. ie Cronk had one worth about $300K. its outside the cap. so woods could be on minimum in the cap and on that plus $XYZ third party deal. If we had a cash office to reimburse receipts we would be doing even better. If we used third party deals on players we would be even better off....
