Stefano Utoikamanu #241

Insert any name.

There, instantly better.
So you can’t name a single player and yet you say we should sign 2 average priced players with the same output with the money we have for Stef. You just proved it’s easier said than done. Stefano is starting to learn how to consistently “find his front”. When he does this he wins the ruck and Api and our halves plays on the back of that. Isn’t many Reggies props regularly finding their front at NRL level.

Only one guy Api looks for to crash over from close range off a quick PTB.
 
We need to beat the chooks to show we are on the up , don’t care if it makes Stef stay or leave but it will give him and his manager some thought on our club and team
Parra ,win
sharks , win
titans ,win
raiders , win
roosters , win
these are all above us well and truly , he would see what’s coming with Luai and Turuva , plus a few adjustments , well worth staying a tiger for $ 800 k in my opinion , we go close to 8 next year and I also think we still have more wins in us this season
roosters and another 3 wins he ya
tomorrow Wests Tigers by 8 😁
 
Best to avoid the supply shortage and buy in another area to strengthen the team. Pole is off next year if prioritise extending him at a lower clip personally. I think the tigers offer is fair if anything generous.

Agree with both, was more talking about the normal around the league. As most ignore it.

If you look at most high price props today they will be rolling out over next 2-3yrs leaving Stefano and others as the next benefactors of a weak pool. Some are going to get some nice pay days regardless of if we think it’s deserving or not.
 
That being the case, the journos reporting St George and Canberra as leading contenders for his signature mustn’t have got that memo. Saints have improved but mid table club at best and are losing Lomax next year. Canberra are on the slide I reckon. Neither are winning a premiership anytime soon. Tigers have more upside to them than either of those teams. If he ends up at one of those, then it’s all about the money.
Let's see what happens then
 
Hello Craig... Apparently storm have entered the mix
I think his manager would have already had
dragons , roosters , storm , dogs , raiders all lined up ready to talk money , just a matter of time before he is announced as gone , i think By end next week most likely or end of July max
 
Very true, I'm no fan of these clauses just on the basis of just playing for us because you want to. I feel the same about finals bonuses or executive kpi's.
Why should anyone be paid more for doing what they've been contracted to do. We hire a player to perform the best he can for us we should not need to pay a bonus if he makes the finals. That is what we have contracted him to do in the first place.
It really misunderstands motivation ... A lot.

Hey, here is an extra $50k now run headlong, full pace into Payne Haas!

Maybe forwards might work on a tackle or other metric. Halfbacks should go nowhere near that. It's a very different "calm" that is needed. Cleary showed this in the GF vs Broncos.
