Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Camel2281]

The ONLY reason we have Luai is because we agreed to pay him 200k per season more than anyone else.
If other clubs matched our offer, he would not have signed with us.
This is the reality when you have been stuck on the bottom of the ladder and even if Wayne Bennett was signed to the club in some capacity, that would not change until our on field results change for the better.
It would be recruitment suicide to pay Lomax any more than his current 800k contract value, therefore he’s a million to one chance of signing with us anytime soon
I know some of us agree and some don’t, but IF Lomax happened to sign with Parramatta for 2025, it would mean they wouldn’t have much left to offer Bailey Simonsson and I would be signing him.

Bailey Simmonsson is rugby league's Scott Muller, can't catch, can't tackle

Lucky we have better wingers

Simpkin to lock, Seyfarth to wing?

How much $ did we sign Olam for,
I know who I would prefer between a younger, faster and one of the best bomb catchers in the comp like Lomax and let’s say an experienced (old) centre that we have purchased.

Don't let it get to you. Keep your spirit alive. Love the passion.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Olam is an old head. It can't hurt.

Everyone knows Luai came to play with Seyfarth. It's not about money. It's about respecting how hard he tries.

When I read Luai comments like we paid 200K extra to get him I think Wow only 200K I would have asked for more if I was him

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

But he has something to prove. To himself.

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

Romantic as that sounds, it’s not true.

What’s the truth then mate

 

[GNR4LIFE]

What’s the truth then mate

You think he would have signed with us for 800-900?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

GNR. Please let us know. The truth.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Were you in the meeting?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

If you were. I apologize.

 

[Buttface]

He left the riff for money 💰, no doubt. But he came to the Tigers for Benji, Richo and the vision of him beating the chin in the 25 GF.
Either that or Benj slipped him a rohy and got his thumb print on the contract, something he learnt of Wayno.

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

Well we do have a vacant wing spot open for an over paid, disinterested tossbag.

I'm pretty sure that's printed on a sign above Noffa's locker . . . .

He wouldn’t have signed for any club for that amount he would’ve just stayed at Penrith

Where has all,this Lomax to Tigers stuff come from , I’m not sure we would have 800 k laying around for this season or next , plus wasn’t this on the cards last year as well and was a big fizzer.

Not worth 800k neither. Can't see us paying that.

If that's the asking, then leave to another club

 

[tiger_one]

If Lomax goes anywhere, his new club only pays a proportion of this year's salary; Pro rate November till now is already paid by the Saints so there only the balance of the year still to go.

1.3 isn’t either Fulton.
