Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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

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

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.

Romantic as that sounds, it’s not true.

1.3 isn’t either Fulton.

 

[innsaneink]

Anyone have any option on Spencer Leniu guilty plea ?

wrong thread

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

If he’s happy playing alongside Matt Eisenhuth, he’ll also be happy playing alongside Seyfarth.

I thought it was 1.2 ?
I don’t believe Gould would have offered more than 1 million per season for him.

Me too. I like monkeys. Cute. People in Ubud might disagree.

Don’t let them see your wallet.

From what was reported, Dogs offered around 1.2 mil and Tigers possibly offered 1.3 (some media’s were saying it was same as Dogs) but if the figures are accurate, it really isn’t that much difference in money. Plus Tigers offered 5 years for Luai and Dogs offered 4. Luai himself said if Benji wasn’t at the Tigers, he was gonna sign with Dogs and play with his mates. Benji was the reason he decided to not follow his mates.

Re Luai there was talk his direct contract + 3rd party came to the same amount as the Bulldogs offer and then at the conference Luai & his Manager said comments re Tigers wasn’t the highest. They gain zero by saying it & weren’t told to say it so I will side with them over Hooper & Buzz.

Re Gould he pays big for players he wants it’s why Laundry gets involved in deals.

Anyway who really cares he is locked in and we have a quality player & one who knows how to win for 5yrs who picked us.

The only ones who know for real are obviously the players, their managers and their clubs. But there’s no way any club was gonna get Luai for under a mil except for Penrith should he had chosen to stay.

Love you brother.

Take sentiment out of it, if you was his manager would you have recommended he sign with Wests Tigers or the Bulldogs on the same money ?
If I was his manager and suggested he sign with Wests Tigers rather than the Bulldogs on the same money, I would have felt like a criminal.

Excellent Observation. Like it. Says something

Yeo is the lock...but in any case, Seyfarth tries very hard which is what matters. Luai is a believer.

As a player manager I would’ve recommended the safe bet if asked & that would’ve been Bulldogs even if Bulldogs offered less.

Was very clear Luai though wanted to prove himself and commit to getting out of his comfort zone. When he spoke it wasn’t scripted or anything - Manager let Luai make the decision end of the day.

Either way he probably gets paid nearly double, his Manager did well.

Like you, Gould is a great football mind. Only job titles separate you. Love the energy you bring.
