Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Wouldn’t that mean Dogs would have to offload both RFM and JAC to even lodge an offer as they can’t make an offer without having the $ in the cap first - cause if that’s the case then that gives us a massive advantage.

RFM wants to stay, so does JAC, but we know Gus has a way of getting what he wants…they can afford Jerome for 2025, not 2024, which they are not interested in
 
hey guys just heard from my mate mike who works at newscorp, some of you might remember he had some early mail on peachy jumping ship.

anyway met up for a few off the wood and he relayed the below:

- luai and his management apparently teeing up another meeting at belmore. who knows what this could mean.
- tupou and links to the dolphins have not gone away. mike couldn't tell me if he was signing there or purely driving up his price at WTs but mike seemed to think he was happy at WTs from what he has heard (lunches with some prominent slimeball journos and managers).

mike's a diehard sharks fan (c.unt lol) but doesn't mind benji so always has an ear to the ground. hopefully not on the money with these rumours after the good week we've just had.

Hi All,

the mail has stayed the same with Jerome
dogs are looking to offload RFM and JAC to sign him and a middle

the relationships with ciraldo / critta / burton / kikau / salmon are all too strong especially when a longer deal is at play

still more to play out / no offer has been formally made by the dogs

Weird, SMH put an article out today that RFM is back in the fold and "all is forgiven".

Cheers for the update mate.

If I'm a player I would have big concerns about signing and then the next year they are trying to offload you again. Thats just how they do it every year and blows my mind how the media have not picked up on this..

I would think Laui would want a decent forward pack instead of 10 utilities in the squad.

Can only hope with all the changes it shows Laui we are a better option then Dogs.

Is that true ?do you have to register offers with the nrl ? That feels like a restriction of trade to me . Also an offer isn’t binding , so how can the nrl or anyone hold anyone accountable for it .

Another meeting to seal the deal for luau probably

I've got a challenge for you: show me a single example from any point over the past decade where Tigers management have said they're not trying to put a good team on the park at the present time and are only focused on the future. I bet you can't.

The club has done a crap job of building competitive rosters - that much is patently obvious. But at no stage has this been because the current roster is being sacrificed for some idea of future pay off. We've hardly produced and juniors of any quality since Moses and Tedesco, for one thing.

Is happy, or is not happy at Wests Tigers?

RFM still free to leave
the dogs have considerable room in the cap

It was rumoured RFM’s contract is around 400k, nobody is going to pay that to take him off their hands.
Likewise JAC is on a big money deal for an ageing winger, they are about as much chance of offloading him for the same contract money he’s currently on, as we are of getting rid of Nofa for anywhere near his contract value.
Very dangerous paying big money for players approaching 30 years plus, many of them can hit a rapid decline around that age.

Thanks for the info @ConePuncher 👍

I’d think Tupou has a better chance of being top 13 at Tigers with Dolphins having Hammer, Isaako, Farnworth, Averillo, Bostock, Niu & co.

Luia is signing for 2025 right ? They won’t need to move on anyone in the short term
