Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Chammas reporting Tupouniua is on 650K at Roosters and he barely gets game time (partly due to injury). Looks like a few clubs are interested in his signature. I think he's a bit underrated tbh and if he gets some consistency he could become a pretty good player

This may be true for our starting halves (assuming we don't upgrade Galvin) but last year our back up was just Wakeham on minimum wage. It is now Sullivan and Fainu reportedly on a combined $1mil.

Yes and Sullivan gets another chance to show what he’s got tomorrow.
Has a few weeks in Reggie’s helped or hindered him ?

That's what I got told too, several times. Salary officially on the books is legit and within the cap. But the players don't pay rent, get cars donated, get their teeth fixed, free suits, groceries delivered without paying, shouts at the bar, free financial advice, discounts on real estate, tip-offs at the horses etc. etc. Don't even mention the Colombian nose candy.

Basically don't pay a cent in living costs and introduced to all the right people to get things done for them, so long as they still good with the club and Uncle Nick.

Broncos have had the same thing via Thoroughbreds support.

He has hardly played for 3yrs and struggles to make 60mtrs a game. Has a very low work rate. He is exactly the type of player we should avoid & let the roosters keep him on the books instead go after one of the Butcher boys or Wong.

Pascoe had the same idea, tried it at two different stadiums, still failed.

We need to pester the NSW Gov for the $$$$. No club can afford those dollars.
They have gifted Penrith $350 mil. for a new stadium; and the one they have is already way better than what we have to put up with. Campbelltown and LO are below par for raking in extra $$$.
Qld get 40,000 to a club game. All bums on seats, gate takings and corporate boxes.

When he is leaving he frees up $650k in the Roorters cap, in the actual cap when he is playing for them he is only on $250k.

Their accountants are the best in the business.
