Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He is wanted by all 17 NRL clubs, so what makes anyone think he will choose to sign for the 3 time Wooden Spooners ?
It’s a great idea in theory, but the reality says he is no chance of signing for Wests Tigers unless we make him far and away the highest paid prop in the game and pay him around 1.2 million per season.
And as good as he is, he has not showed anything to suggest he is good enough to carry our forward pack on a 1.2 million dollar per season wage.
Yes we managed to sign Luai, but only by paying him 200k more than any other club was willing to pay him, the salary cap does not allow us to do that with more than one player and being any chance of building a decent team around them.

Ben Hunt is going to be getting over a million on the market soon. He's top in try assists, but don't let that fool you, he's had a very up and down year. He's also mid 30s. What we paid for luai was a bargain, if we were paying for him now 1.2 would seem about right, whereas last year we had plenty of critics saying it was a mistake to sign him and we should have gone for ezra mam or AFB

fair enough. But what specifically have you seen of Turuva to suggest he will be any good at centre?

I do agree his one on one defence needs to improve however pure ball running ability, post contact metres he is pretty dynamic which is something we haven't had in centre in years.
Do I think toa is worth keeping? I do could he be good? Yes, has he been ? I would say no apart from the odd game

Well they did just remove a big chunk of cap that would allow a Pap kind of signing. And they do need a fullback. Makes sense.

Paps is still signed with Melbourne for 2025…and may still extend longer ..,,

I don’t expect him to be announced to the Dogs in the next couple of days…if there was a change I don’t see it happening that quickly

Terrell.

Roosters very publicly shopping him as a 950K player when he’s only just made a name for himself.

Guessing attitude or injury issues. Hard pass.

Yeah , i think he is in the too hard basket for the Roosters. He has a lot of different options and is a bit wack on podcasts ect
