Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Iverson Matai

Not signed for 2024....I thought he came here with high wraps.....

His brother went back to Dogs, last year.
Perhaps he will also.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

In light of recent NRL news about Amone & PNG likely 18th team, me wonders …

Door open for Josh Schuster to STGI who has a good relationship with the coach & frees up salary for Manly to extend Haumole

PNG may be better opportunity for Melbourne to transfer Olam’s full contract. Unless we take Olam for 1-2 years & then transfer him out to PNG, Large then incoming into top 30.

Onitoni Large?

Not for 2 years at least. He's only 16.

Where did you see he’s not signed? I thought he was offered the opportunity to T&T over summer unless that was a Warren Mac deal that’s been voided.

Yes in 2 years. He’ll be ready then.

 

[Kelce68]

Same coach that dropped him twice this year....
Wouldn't be banking on that as a good relationship

The assistant coach of Manly dropped Schuster?

Use the money from Keppie being released to upgrade Oka id say

 

[Kelce68]

He’d certainly have been part of the discussion - so your answer is yes.

Assistant coaches drop players.

Got it.

Dragons are gonna throw ridiculous money at Jospeh Manu come November 1st.

That’s Flanagan’s sole priority heading into free agency.

They going in for Luai also forgot they might have some cash up their sleeve

Why? Blore is lame

Is he injured again?

Arriba.

Moved over about a week after Scott Fulton started here (but could have been in the works with Warren prior to it). You'd think he has a Flegg contract in 2024.

Would you prefer Luai or Manu?

 

[teddy23]

Would you prefer Luai or Manu?

Manu would be worth the $ if you play him at fullback - so I’d prefer Luai.

If I was being completely honest I’d much prefer offer Dearden the 800-900k mark over both those options.

Cowboys struggling cap wise……

Managers get a percentage (usually 7%) per year of the deal. That percentage increases significantly for any endorsements. Some managers will pay there own talent scouts 3% out of the 7% per year of the contract. Not all managers do this though. In most cases managers will only charge the 7% when the contract value is over 50k per year.

I worked for one of the more well known managers for a while. 6% on footy salary 20% on endorsements/TPAs

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Disappointed that Jacob Kiraz stayed on at the Dogs for a few more years. Would have liked us to have a crack at him for 2025. A quality backline player like him is what we need.

Really, realllly don't want to lose Blore for Olam. Terrible idea.

Blore will become a beast with regular footy. Just because he's had a bad run of injuries, doesn't mean it's going to keep happening.

Not sure about the potential Luai signing... just don't think he's the type of player that would succeed here. His attitude stinks when things don't go his way, where at Penrith they usually do.

Let us not forget a former Tiger who was young and injury prone. 28 games in his first 3 seasons, barely playing due to a string of bad injuries. I forgot his name, but I heard he has nice set of teeth and likes yelling "Squid games" at Asian women while he is drunk. Think they called him Squidesco - something like that.

Blore has 33 in his three seasons of first grade. I know he is a good player. I would be terrified of him playing for Melbourne. Bloke might actually fulfil his potential. And he isn't a knobhead like the former Tiger from before. He's actually a good dude.

You can overlook injuries at that age when the kid is a prodigy
