Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tiger05premier]

We could find a few backs from the lower grades. There is a lot of talent and one or two just need to work hard and impress the coaching team. I am optimistic we have solutions in our own backyard for our backs.

Like Bula? Tupou?

Yes they're very good. I like Scolari - pace, spirit, defence and good under the high ball.

Please guys my heart can't take it. I liked it better when the sentiment was that Moses would re-sign with Parra. Now you're saying he's still a good chance to come here.

So that’s the Klemmer/Hastings player swap? How much did they get Hastings for then?
Klemmer was on the outer at Newcastle and I reckon we could have got him anyway.
Also seems pretty obvious now they didn’t want Brooks at anywhere near full freight and we wouldn’t kick in.
Love having Klemmer but can’t understand why we would give Newcastle a halfback for basically nothing.

Where does it say that? - Just another assumption with no factual evidence.

it'll be 2.2 mil by the time Slothfeild gets hold of it.

Milford has played in a grand final and lead teams into the finals. Yes he has issues and he is clearly no DCE/Cleary/Townsend/Hugues/etc.

Still, with Milford he has realised something in his career. Wayne Bennett will get the most out of him, as he does with many players.

I honestly thought the criticism would be around the JMK hooker or Sean O'Sullivan who is fairly unproven. Not saying it's a great spine, but it's one that can get the job done behind their pack.

I suspect Wayne is looking at the whole Moses drama and will make an offer to AD. (not a good one, but a fair one.).

Gee whiz crazycat, that is out of left field.

I've heard we've gone up to 2.5 million but only 125k on the cap.

The club are not offering $1.6 million for Moses. No one is that silly, if you believe it, book a doctors appointment asap.

may as well just give him the club at this point. I mean Balmain essentially already gave his uncle all their finances so why not do the same for him.

True. As much as I would be over the moon to have MM on board, I even think 1.4 million is paying overs.

Moses manager squeezing club/s for everything he can get. With big dollars comes big expectations. I was all for it but now be content to focus on how the Brooks/ Douehi combo goes behind improved pack and without the distraction of what will or won't happen next season. Time for these two to show their worth and for the coaches to back up their decisions through improved individual performances.

Do we see a world where Doueihi stays on if we sign Moses for 2024?

We basically got Klemmer for free this year and your concerned.
Tigers would not have paid any to Knights for Hastings and if we got Klemmer for 400k that is a bargain. Hastings was on around 400-500k I believe as well. Very Smart business especially if we land Moses.

There are no leaks so how do we know what has or hasn't occurred?

I see a world where we keep one or the other of him and Brooks but prob lose Douehi if anything because he is worth more on the open market and our cap money for halves prob can't cover both Moses and Douehi but could Moses and Brooks

My guess is Hastings went with zero cost to us to guarantee his contract length. He's better than what they currently have and they were desperate for a halfback.

I like Jacko but if he went at zero cost to us and the Knights are footing half of Klemmer's contract for '23 that is shrewd business.

not if we sign Moses at 1.4 and Doueihi still wants 900K. If Doueihi earns an upgrade, Brooks doesn't and Doueihi is willing to take about 700K, yeah maybe. Not sure all those ifs will align
