Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Nope likely just putting 1+1 together and getting 3. Willie Mason indicated the Tigers have signed a dogs player. Realistically I can see it being Knight or JAC imo neither help a great deal. Skelton would be nice but cant see the dogs letting him go.

A JAC rumour went around last week when Gus was talking to Skeleton

Will Penisini apparently has a player option for next year and is on the open market the following year in 2026.

If we have the war chest that Richo claims which I don’t doubt, we should really be going hard for Penisini to help with our lack of class in the backline.

Parra are on the verge of crumbling as soon as Moses leaves. Which as I’ve said from earlier in the year is inevitable that he’s gone - seems like the media are starting to jump on it now.

Did we not dodge a massive bullet by failing to sign Moses. Terrible clubman managed by one of rugby leagues greatest parasites.

Moses and his is manager uncle apparently were the ones who undermined Brad Arthur and got him sacked. The club is now in free fall and Moses wants to bail out. It shows you what he is made off. Personally I love seeing Parra flop, but not at the hands of the Moses mafia. I just hope Mitch gets a big serving of karma one day

I saw that, he often tries to stick up for us, as well as having a shot at the Roosters and their cap

Easy fix. The value on the cap equals what another club is prepared to offer them. Discount applies for a resigning or a club junior who has come through your lower grades. Under that system Stef would count for $800k on Melbourne cap, Wighton would be around $900k on Souths cap, etc. No muddying of the water with third party deals, betting on a golf game, keys to a BMW that just appears in your garage, etc

One thing for sure and certain. He won’t be at Melbourne. They recruit on character…

Might be a bit of an uproar that we're re-signing a NSW Cup player and making a big deal about it.

FWIW, I think he showed a lot in his first game and I can see him making it as regular first grader.

OK , this needs a bit of truth , did u like others on here, say the same about MILLER when he got a chance in 1st grade , because he is no where near a 1st grade player , slow, massive over weight , NOW I was also taken by our new frontrower , but I want to see him player 6-10 games before saying he is a 1st grade player , I hope he makes it

I'm going to assume it's not a huge contract, and that it is based not on his 1 NRL performance but on his 2024 performances in all grades..

No not worried about signing him , just don’t want to rush him into 1st grade , maybe another run this year , then a big pre - season , so he can bulk up and get fitness

It shows his true character aye! The club is built around him , but he’s going to bail for himself . I get you only have 1 career, but man , anyways . Parra are the biggest grub club , who have done shady shit in the last 5-10 years . Some really cut throat , borderline reprehensible dealings . I can’t see too many people helping them out ! They will be paying pennies on the dollar with some of thier bad contracts I think .

Only thing I would add is that if a rival club offers 1 million with no intention of signing the player only to affect the opposition's team cap then the diffrence from the second best offer and the false offer is to be paid to the player playing for the other side by the club who threw in the false offer out of their cap.
