Might be like Souths Roy Asotasi moment

You do realise that it can't be done, right? We can't have even formerly offered anyone under contract with a contract offer for 2025 yet. We can only start formalities in November, so at best a player may have agreed to our offered terms, but there's still a month for them to change their mind before anything is actually 'done'.

Some people suggesting it's Luai is extremely hard to believe too. He's literally just won a grand final last week and is on holidays with his mates. There's not a chance in the world that he's been speaking to his agent about contracts for 2025 during a time like this. He'd be celebrating with his mates now and have been fully focused on winning the GF over the past few months

I loved Curly in the 3 Stooges but seriously Moe and Larry wouldn't be happy with this Clayton's Information. Why not wait until after 1 November if the so called Scoop is genuine? Just plain old spreading of unsubstantiated information. The desperation from Tiger supporters is bordering on farcical but I guess back to back Spoons and 12 years of no finals may be responsible for the rumour mill going into overdrive.

Which is exactly what would happen if you threaten to park him in reserve grade for two years.

Reserve Grade is the only place he belongs and then I think he will be lucky to make their reserves Bench. Make him uncomfortable and he will look for a contract in England.

Under the new salary cap guidelines …

Top 30 players can seek a release from their contract if dropped below State Cup level.

Am I the only one here who doesn't rate Luai? He's carried by Cleary and the rest of the team. Would be another blair like signing for us.

Below? So down to Ron Massey cup?
Not sure we’ve ever dropped a top 30 player to that level.

Also when do the new guidelines take effect?

It does happen from time to time.

William Kei was in our Top 30 last year and played Ron Massey Cup.

Players can always seek a release regardless of their circumstances.

Wise guy eh 🤡

 

[tony soprano]

Why, are we planning to bring back the biff next season 🤣

What happen there did JAC smash someone or did he get smashed?

 

[Oldman]

This forum never stops to amaze me,
Someone can post about a scoop from a mate with so called “good information” and we can carry the conversation on for how many pages ?

 

[tony soprano]

A few weeks back, I think it was Sunday footy show Chammas said something like he thought Tigers would go to 1.4 mill to get Luai and that would probably get it done. I think your mate might just be repeating that

Jazz, can he be a 7 tho?

And people question the need of fulton.

We’re nearly 10,000 pages in, much of which has run on far less substance than this “highest paid player in the league” rumour 😁

Better to dream than focusing on our muppet board...

 

[Fallen Angel]

Luai’s ego is out of control as it is. Could you imagine it if he was the highest paid player in the game?

 

[Lukic]

Luai's an average to above-average player. Absolutely no chance in the world should he be getting a million a year. Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if our team was stupid enough to make such an offer to him and doom us to further years at the bottom of the table.

 

[Flippedy]

For what it’s worth the guy at the source of my rumour ruled out Best, Kiraz, Manu
Indirectly he ruled out Olakuatu and other info seems to have Ezra quite unlikely

Well that narrows it down to just about nobody lol. It’s probably Luai as I think his days at Penrith are numbered and he knows it - he was the saddest man after winning the Grand Final last week. May have just been in pain from his injury, but he didn’t seem to be engaged with the rest of the team as much as usual.

If it is Luai, I don’t know what we’d do with him. Hoping it’s a centre of some sort because that is what we desperately need. However if it’s not Best or Manu, I don’t know who else there is available that would warrant such a big contract.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

hope it is Luia and true he woukd add an x factor at 7 with fainu at 6 in 2025
