Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

A source within rugby league circles has just told me Jarome is 90% likely to sign with us in the next week or so on a 4.8 million dollar deal for 4 years. He also told me we are about 30% likely to get AFB and Dogs are throwing around 1.1 million at him while we are offering between 900K and 1 million

If he was "sold" on the WT he would've signed by now..our money offer is not the issue he is stalling

Initial reports that we made an offer are true although I think what happened is the negotiations stalled, no rejection or acceptance yet. Perhaps he's looking at his options to drive his price up more. My understanding is that Penrith are unwilling to increase their offer of 3 years 850K

Most of the players do not directly negotiate conditions of their contracts, that is why they pay their agents/managers.
It would be better to say that players agents/managers negotiate the contract conditions, and their greed may not necessary reflect the player view.

He wants 1.2 million. Our initial offer on the Tuesday two weeks ago (28th November) was a 1.125 million 4 year offer. He's stalling to increase the offer. He knows Tigers will do it but him and his manager are going to other clubs to generate more interest and price increases

very similar situation to Sam and Latu I feel. we were out of the blocks early and looked to be done before they shopped around a little bit only for them to come back to us later.

nothing to worry about at this point, but if things do drag on being christmas then i would begin to worry.

I wonder how much our governance situation is leading to any stalling. Yes stalling to reach $1.2M but Black Money may also want security in the knowledge what is happening at board level (as they may think this could have repercussions on coaching & recruitment structure). Just thinking out loud.
