But surely .. this is something we should be able to do out in the Campbelltown area as it grows bigger and bigger .. create a nursery and develop kids just for the Tigers .. !!
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
There is no doubt the Panthers would happily swap 10 of the best current Wests Tigers players aged 16-19 for their best 10 players in the same age bracket if they had the opportunity to do so.
Our top 10 in this age bracket are rated extremely highly and would have no trouble walking into any of the other 16 NRL clubs if we did not have them contracted.

Noff. the exception? Seem to be having trouble with this one leaving his $500k pay packet.

You’d be foolish to think he wouldn’t have any say that’s not what I meant - more so that Benji regardless of the situation will have final/majority say and if he wants a certain player I don’t think Richo should be involved in telling him who’s right or isn’t for Benji’s vision on how he wants to orientate this football team.
From a financial perspective he should have majority say in regards to what we offer and how long we offer due to his expertise and significance experience in that field though. However, in terms of the particular players I don’t think he should have much input in that department as he’s not the one coaching the team.
There’ll be times where Richo will give his opinion and it’s up to Benji to agree/disagree - and I think we saw that first hand with AFB.

Get stuffed.
Is that acceptable language for you to understand,
And not complain about my writing ability, if I have not met your writing standards, please feel free to insult me again.

LOOK...I am genuinely confused and have no intention to insult. DO I capitalise the first letter of the word when starting a new sentence? OR the first word entirely?
NONE of this answers my question. FORGIVE me.

Question for the forum just curiosity - if you had the option of offering Luai to 2 deals.
1 - 4 years for $4.8 million
2- 5 years for $5.5 million
Which deal do you do? Cause if true that Dogs have offered that extra year at a reduced $ per season. Would you be tempted giving that extra year and dropping 100k each season from our previous offer so we still marginally beat the Dogs offer?
That might be the deal to get it done - not saying we should do it just curious on everyone’s thoughts?

I would offer him the deal which gets it done. We need a recruitment win and the bigger the better. This one would be huge for WTs.

BOLD. LIKE your personality. THANK you Dennis. YOU are the gift that keeps giving.
All clubs have a Head of recruitment or something the same ?
The Head Coach talks to the CEO
and if agreed upon that they want to offer a player a contract they notify the Head of recruitment who goes through the figures and informs them how it can be done.
e.g
Do we have the money ?
Do we have the space ?
Do we need to let players go to make this happen ?
All are involved in some way in getting the players they want.

I'd go option 1.
We have been burnt far too many times by LONG expensive contracts and in the scheme of things the extra $100k per year wouldn't even cover a minimum wage top 30 contract, but having an extra $1.2m in year 5 and the extra flexibility, would provide much better value.

Why would you go to the effort to call me a lunatic
For a reply I sent to another member.
Grow up.
I agree Gallagher. Galvin's neck appears to be in correct proportion to the rest of his body.

You could probably lay down both offers, but I would simply match the Dogs deal.
At 31, I don't think he's done yet. He still has time for another deal. We may even be able to shift him early if Galvin and Fainu are ready for NRL.

I get the feeling that if he doesn’t take our existing offer Richo & Benjamin will bin it and use the money elsewhere.
