Blows my mind how we cannot offload some of these non-top 30 players.
Maybe we hire Gus for 2 weeks to assist

I do think though Richo would have things going on and just waiting it out.

Hmm… Hope you are right … but this has been going on for a while now …

They’d be salivating over that trade. I don’t think KPP is coming people. Let it go.

Player that’s about to leave the club for a player signed 3 more years who they failed to recruit last year. They get a return and 50/100k in cap for 2025 to spend, could be difference between losing and keeping Leo for them

 

[RonDingo]

He clearly outplayed Galvin and I’m one who believes Gal is a talented player. I enjoy the continued criticism of Brooks, just gives him more opportunity to stick it up ya’s.

Not criticism i dont dislike the bloke, just stating facts that playing well against PNG doesn't make you a star.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I recall the story at the time was he got offered the minimum originally and negotiated himself ( he has no agent ) a higher figure with Richo ….i thought the figure being tossed around then was $250k….

What is the mn wage

Brooks looked ok when he came on against a Kumuls team already burnt out.
As a comparison Liddle did too.
Nothing to skite about from his fans.

It’s $130k I believe ….

There is a lot of talented young players available come November 1 that could agitate for a release a season early if signed elsewhere… hopefully we are looking at guys like Davvy Moale, Xavier Willison, Bullemor, Loiero, Josiah Pohulu Hasset etc & could even get lucky enough to get a early release Like Hunt

“Benjis been handing out alibis all season my Lordship.”

“The witness Richo, I’d ask this court to refrain from giving too much weight to his pronouncements of progress where the pack remains in limbo, if not in worse shape than whence he doth found it.”

“ All but the most imaginative or delusional of juror’s could return a verdict other than yet another season of absolute guilt.”

“And the matey, my lord, it still lives and breathes in the gizzards of the white elephant.”

“ Not a centre of excellence, but a centre of the matey, a tribute to the nod and wink and where merit does not stand a chance.”

“Warrants, my lordship, let them doth issue. A course to apprehend and arrest the entire hb management for a star chamber inquisition as to their fitness to continue manage our beloved club.”

“Our fans and members, we are Tigers led by donkeys.”

Rumpole of the Bailey could not have put it any better.

 

[jrtiger]

Don’t be shocked if you start to see some Ronaldo Mulitalo to the Wests Tigers rumours start to circulate….

Mulitalo would have to be $1.10 to wind up at the Chooks wouldn't he?

 

[hank37w]

A few, thought he would kick in but shocking injuries and suspect defence have plagued him. I thought something had to give with him and Star but don’t think Star very saleable.
I won’t mind seeing AD going ok, even if it’s elsewhere.

I wouldn't mind seeing him going either. 🤣

And there will be more. We need to be patient, pick wisely and be aggressive.
Quietly.

In a team of quality Aussie players, he came on and shone as much as anyone, Kayo Weakes also stood out. Their pace against a tiring PNG was too much to handle. PNG scored 20 points and gave a decent account of themselves.

I don’t think he’s a star, pushing back against those who told me plenty of times he’s not a first grade footballer.

$150k

He's not a first grade 7

 

[Merlot]

Bit walk good at English, but after reading Merlot’s posts for years I can understand your gibberish about some thousand year old midget winger who makes the odd highlight reel in A only, playing in a comp where Ozy players who are not good enough for NRL go to feel good about themselves.

Thanks @Merlot , you’ve taught me well.

$135k for 2025 according to this .. ( second last line)

The Salary Cap

Here are the official guidelines for the NRL salary cap, including frequently asked questions like what players can earn outside the salary cap, how much can clubs spend, third party agreements and more.

[Halbrowne61]

Ben Hunt to Broncos
Kobe Hetherington to Tigers

Maybe Hunt to the Gold Coast, has bought something in the Byron Bay hinterland. Too far to Brissy every day but a reasonable drive to Robina.
