Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Wish we could get a transparent look under the hood at their salary cap, mind boggles at the quality they have on hand.

Lots of TPA mate, when you’re the biggest club in the NRL you get special privileges

At least we know we won't have to worry about Mitch coming back as he's signed with the Eels till '29.

He was never going to come back, he used us to up his price

If the Penrith/ Australian Lock Forward isn’t on big dollars I’d be shocked.
I don’t understand when people say someone isn’t worth the money because he’s not a fullback, Half,Hooker or Prop.
It’s all about Roster management and for the first time in a long time we seem to be getting our Roster into a good position, I can see us looking for 2nd rower’s & Centres at the end of this year to further improve our squad going forward.
IMO
Richo has been our best signing for a very long time.

I wonder if Richardson can work his magic to free up Deine Mariner and Brendan Piakura from the Broncos.

If you try to navigate through the maze of smoke and mirrors you will probably end up in a state of purgatory lol.

Is that what you think his compensation has been? LMAO.
What about all the exposure he has received? All the awards, all the rep games - captaining them as well?
What about all the connections that will see him farting through silk for the rest of his life?
He saw the big picture and it has proven an extremely well educated decision for him.

DennisSpicer. Tucker is on the money. But on paper - the ATO - you are also on the money.

Thank god. It doesnt snow enough for him to be useful.

Mariner for what? We have skelton and turuva, staines and lualii for depth, no need. Piakura would be a good get though

$1.3m per year fmd

Mariner imo is one of the best young centres in the game.

So you do agree with this pipeline dream?

The intangible benefits were worth a lot more than the strictly tangible ones we offered.

Mariner imo is one of the best young centres in the game.

Doesn’t he play wing?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Both. But when you have centres like Brisbane someone has to make way. In weaker teams. Definately can be a great centre. Dane Gagai like.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

He has played on the wing for the Broncs but is a specialist centre (someone can confirm).

 

[cone]

Yeah true, doubt he leaves tho, Cobbo will be the one pushed out and I don’t want him there would be too many issues

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

The most useful outside backs excel at both wing and centre, much better for team versatility.

Yes was a centre in QLD Cup. Kevvy used him mostly on the wing but he is a gun centre.

We were told Teddy went to East for less money,
Does anyone really believe that was the truth.
Cause I'm one of many that can't believe anyone that is mentally sound would throw all that money away to possibly win a ring worth $20k.

It could have been for less money,
The difference between Wests and the Roosters is how they can set him.
If you do the right thing by Uncle Nic he will set you up on a path for life and $ after football.
Unfortunately not something that seems to happen at our club.

 

[Needaname]

Turuva confirmed to be the one with the appendix surgery.

Can someone inform Vossy?

That would be nice
