Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[happy_tiger]

Daniel Suluka-Fifita
Josh Papalii
Felise Kaufusi

Also Farnworth, Nathan Cleary, Reece Walsh, Kotoni Staggs, Isaiah Yeo, Payne Haas, Liam Martin, Hudson Young and Harry Grant for the hooker bench spot to rotate with Api.

Surely you can get a better recruitment drive than that ....your not even trying lol 😆

Is it as simple as Madden at 7 and Latu back to 13?

Campbell may suit Benji but where is he going to play in this team?

Reread my post

So you prefer to pay Sullivan 600k vs Madden on $250k ?

We will already be paying Sullivan
That’s why

Imo Richo has made an agreement with Souths for Bud. We will have to chip in a bit of coin. Reckon Madden costs less than the money we're saving. So imo Richo has replaced Bud with a cheaper option while getting his 550k salary off the books and saved a little bit of coin aswell. Won't see the real benefit next year but the year after we have a half replacement for Bud on prob nearly half the price. With the other half of Buds money being able to be used elsewhere in the squad.

Jock was on 350k next year doubt Broncos pay anything, Souths want Bud for 150k we pay 400k that adds up to 750k a year for Jock for the next 2 years. amazing value, spooners for life.

Madden is on $350k and they only saved $150k this season for Bud … so let’s hope Souths up the money for Bud

Do serious teams pay their reserve grade half $750k ? Benny Hill music continues at Concord even though the other 2 clowns are long gone

Richo signing reserve graders , where are the first graders we actually need said 2 or 3 we got 1. KPP , I would have signed May Jnr before Madden as well

It doesn't matter the order in which we sign them as long as they are here for next year... It also depends who we can negotiate with at the time and who we can't until November 1...

If they are paying Madden $350 x 2 …what is May jr asking for 🤔

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Who else “should” we be targeting? 😂

I think both Tui'tupou & Mapapalangi could find themselves with top 30 deals for next season. In terms of external, definitely a lock pending what happens with Doeuihi & hooker utility so I hope their talking to Sivila Havili.

Madden played here previously remember?

He's a depth signing, nothing more. Would be first call-up if injury strikes or Luai SOO call-up. Will be an upgrade on Falls for the NSW Cup team too.

If only he was an upgrade on Bud

The bigger issue is that we have bud aswell

No please no. Madden can't be our starting 7.
Seriously your not going to climb the ladder with Madden. Are they serious. Smh

What makes you think Richo is paying 750k ??? (I would imagine we will pay some for Bud but not 400k and Broncos would have paid a smaller amount for next year like 50-100k) No one knows 100%

Richo is the very smart operator and it shows in his signings..
We don't seem to overpay anymore like we used to E.g. KPP for 500k is a bargain, T May 650k is another one,

People need to understand all signings are not top-grade ones and I'm confident over the off-season Richo will add more quality players.

Yes ..this is true … some times you have to make chicken salad out of chicken you know what though ….

 

[user118245]

Everything all good bro?

Yeh just been more busy with life recently lol, 6 game losing streak doesn’t help the desire to talk about the club either

it was reported in the media that Souths are paying only $150k this season for Bud … now i don’t know what they will pay next season…. But the leverage is certainly with them and we seem to always get the rough end of the pineapple on these deals… we are soft as

 

[tigertragic]

Peter Lang (well connected local Penrith journo) reckons that the Panthers aren't in for AD. basically leaves WT and St Choke. he won't be leaving us for them. you'd think it'll now be down to dollars and cents.

Brandy also said on SEN that Penrith would NOT be at the panthers in 2026 (different to Gus saying it)

If Souths are paying 750 for Dodds then they are copping a bit of a pineapple themselves i reckon
