Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why wouldn’t we try to use Papali’i as a piece for a player swap? If there is multiple club interest surely allows us to demand a key player in return to release a year early. Get it if they want him gone but got to make the most of these situations as well. Only reason not to is if we already have a player locked in and not enough cap left to do a trade on top of this.

If he wants to leave then don’t pay any of his freight next year …., we know that won’t be the case though and they will chip in … thankfully it’s just one year …

another disaster of a signing to join a very long list

No way we will pay one cent , he requested a release and was given one , he leaves we pay zero , $ 640/$ 700 k in the bank and Richo already on a plane to UK on search of players for next season , maybe already has a target or 2 lined up but I feel after last week we will see at least 6 players depart at season end
Ipap , Naden , Staines , Seyfart , Sullivan , Tumeth , Matta , just to start

Ice pay was increased to $750k next season apparently/.. lets see what they get back …

Richo ain’t in search of new players in UK … he is looking to get rid of them already under contract

"Richardson will also meet with prospective players, which is likely to be used as the reason for his trip, but multiple sources confirmed that his primary objective was to try and shed money in the salary cap and make roster spots available for next year."

Primary objective is to shed players, but will be looking at potential options too.
 
It would be nice if we could sign a first grade team instead of playing a reserve grade team each week. With the exception of Api, Bula and maybe Klem, Stef and Bateman on their best days only, the squad is sub par NRL standard. Richo can see this from miles away. Richo needs to sign 10 NRL regular players at least to start to get competitive. Leave your Twals, Seyfarths, Stains etc as nothing more then fill in when the real players get injured. Tigers are starting from a pretty good place as they have their 2nd tier team already, now just have to sign an NRL team to put on the park.

What a top CEO.

If he can flick the players mentioned, he would get a tick from me.

Not entirely happy about the dickhead who leaked to Chammas though.

I’d say the club has informed Chammas.

An NRL CEO hanging around the North of England would be almost impossible to hide.

In fact, the club may have intentionally informed the media to cover the fact that it may actually be a recruitment mission rather than just a clean-out mission.
