Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SwervinMervin]

If you were Richo & have put forward your best & most reasonable offer to Pole without a commitment coming back, would you allow him to test the market early pre-Nov 1 and request he makes a decision by Nov-1?

Pole doesn't have to but if Richo can outline how he'd let him test the market early if Pole does the best by the club with an early decision so the club can plan forward accordingly.

Agree. If he plans to test the market anyway, I would give him permission to do it early so that the club has certainty by November 1.

By all accounts he does, but what is his real value is the question. What if his agent is asking for 4x750k. Do we pay that?
If Stef was offered 800k, Pole has outplayed him but he's not an elite prop yet. Still poor defence in his game. Is 600k fair?

500k would be a fair deal, possibly increasing over the next couple of seasons if he grows into the player he can potentially become.

Question: Is that our Taulau-Moors playing for Blacktown PB today? Looks a powerful explosive forward

 

[Canadian Club]

So are we turning on Pole now without actually knowing any facts about what is going on behind the scenes?

Think we need to relax and not jump to conclusions about what is or isn’t happening behind close doors.

Yes it is + Jared Haywood and Byron Laupepa

I think we're all just sensitive to being burnt by Stefano's antics that we're preparing contingencies in case Pole follows. But yes could just as well be an announcement on an extension any time.

Thanks for that. Magic pass by Hayward

It's funny when generic, broad stroke comments get deleted off the forum before too many people see it. 😀

Do we know what Royce Hunt has signed for ?
At the moment I rate Pole as a 20 minute middle forward the same as Royce will be so I would suggest they should be on around the same Dollars.

Not turning on him, just stating he is not worth much more than $500k on form, his defence is quite ordinary, arm grabbing letting in tries, he is not worth a fat contract.

I stand by what I said Chadster … I thought better of talking about weight loss on a football forum so decided to delete it…

How about this post though - if Miller is serious about being an NRL football player he will turn up next preseason a lot fitter than what he was this year

You should stand by it Bobby Atkins- Tigers need all the help with strength & conditioning they can get.

I think there's absolutely no chance he signs for 500. Zero.
I think we offered just over 500 and his agent laughed. 600 is the minimum we can get him for, including the spoon tax

 

[lauriefromleichhardt]

Stephano said he wanted to captain the club one day aswell

probably come back when hes 34 on a fat contract.

I see more than 20 minutes in him, but that is exactly how it should be assessed. A moneyball style approach plus a bit added for our lowly position and potential/expected development of the younger players.

He's not worth 600 his defence is terrible.

Oh you better believe - if the day comes he signs elsewhere, all the name calling would come out.

Pillow... wasn't that good anyway.... we could to better etc etc.

Miller should kick on next year after a hard preseason and a year older he turns 20 in February

Miller only kicks on if he loses 15kg
