Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

This shows their attack is similar as I said. Also, you’re only talking about attack, what about tackle efficiency?

That’s the reported salary NAS is on. We’re not getting him for 600k.

Their attack is not even close to similar. The stats tip well into Stefanos favour. He is way more effective when running the same amount of metres.

The tackle efficiency is 97 to 95. There is nothing you can point at with Klemmer that says he is the better player. At the very least, bring up some clear stats so there can be a meaninful debate if you feel strongly about it.

My comments are fact based. It's nothing personal against you or Klemmer for that matter. Or are you saying you'll take an extra 2% tackle efficiency instead of 65 tackle breaks vs 9? Or 1 offload vs 11? Or try scoring threat close to the line? I'm not sure what your case is for Klemmer.

Regarding NAS. Olam was on 600k. We got him for 400. Why do you think that the new club always pays exactly the same as the old club? Nelson is not worth 900k to any club, which is why the Storm want to get rid of him. If we don't get him for 600k, he will stay at the Storm for 900k. Simple as that.

I really struggle to see what makes Stef a $1 million dollar player or an 800k player or a 600k player.

He averages 10 hit ups for 112 metres at 95.7 tackle efficiency.

Lawn mower man Oshay Olay, Josh Aloia averages11.2 hit ups for 114 metres at 95.8 tackle efficiency.

Are we offering lawn mower man 1 million?

This isn’t to shoot you down in anyway.

However there are plenty of stats that aren’t measured in normal statistics, but have a huge impact when playing. It’s not easily seen unless you Are looking
For it, coaching it, or playing next to it.

Finding your front, drawing 2 defenders over 1, quick play the balls, and giving your halves more space with the ball etc.

This isn’t to put my case forward for him. The numbers we are offering are big and in turn we expect big results.

however a massive mobile body, with quick play the balls and huge tackle efficiency is quite rare.

This will be interesting. Riccio was absolutely rock solid on SEN that another club, who he wouldn't name, are prepared to go to $1M per year for him. He says he want to be at a winning club - the only ones that pretty much always fit that criteria are Melbourne, Penrith, Roosters and maybe Brisbane and Sharks at a pinch, but they are a tier below. Will they pay him $1M a year? Doubt it, not on the books anyway (Chooks). He will only get $1M at a club like St George, Warriors, etc. Hardly winning clubs. Wonder if he ends up at the Rabbitohs under Wayne?

They have Burgess leaving but have picked up Keppie this off season.
Moale you’d rate a chance to get a starting spot but maybe they would consider a swap for Tatola?
Could be a good move for us to get a junior back and someone with more experience.

Yep, is he about winning or $$$ ? If he signs elsewhere and it's not a current top 4 club it's all about the money.
But why not take the tiger's offer dig deep every week build combination with the young fella's and make the tigers a winning team especially with the talent arriving next year. But if he does sign on with us ,leave out the whacky contract clause FFS.
 
Cotric to Dragons. 3 years
Jamie Humphris , To South’s
Tavita PJ. , could go to south’s with Bennett
Hunt to south’s
Stef free to go
Tigers sign no one , no one even mentioned to come our way , and the NAS to Tigers I feel is old news from start of season
Richo we need some good news , keep the happy times from wins going by adding some snippets of info

Cotric is going to the Catalan Dragons in ESL. Jamie Humphries is the interesting one as Souths were showing interest in Sullivan at a discounted rate. Looks like that not going to happen now

I'm far from saying that's the pack I want. Quite the opposite. I've heard a whisper about Junior that's why I put him in there.

I hope your right that Bateman is gone.

Hungry players like Jack Williams, Trey Mooney, Tallis Duncan will do me

Trey Mooney has been written about on this form and he has not stood out. Their other young prop, Ata Mariota, is a real talent. With the Raiders you get the impression their forwards are too bulky trying to copy the physique of Josh Papalii.
 
Not sure if everyone heard .. but our Fijian International player Gordon Whippy has left us to join South Sydney.. The tall solidly built 2nd rower failed to break into our top 30 and was stuck in the NSW Cup .. so he has decided to join South Sydney .. but made his debut for his new club in the NSW Cup .. yep sounds he's gonna be stuck in NSW Cup there too.

Good luck to him

We know it's BS. The player would have to agree to pay his manager the same or similar or else the manager would be gunning for the player to stay. Or else the player manager would be getting something from the Roosters or their sponsors.

Either way, the NRL SHOULD have been asking the big questions, because the implications are obvious. Or maybe they just don't give a rat's when it's certain clubs. The whole thing smells.

This is why us fans are pissed off , every other team is doing great business and we spend must of our time trying to keep players , RICHO I know there is a no leak policy, but us fans need to hear some good news , and this crap 💩 of if stef leaves we will get someone else, even if he stays we need at lease three more forwards to get us to a competitive unit , as we have lost papa and maybe Bateman

He was only good enough to make the bench in Cup 3 times. Not a loss...
