350 k for Jock

That a lot for a reserve grader…that’s what we offered Adz

Working off the assumption that Sullivan does not want to be here next year Jock Madden is a great back up half. Not sure what some of the whinging here is about?

Yeah, he’s top 30 though.

I think the Jock Madden signing is ok as he’s proven he can play well at NRL level and is a more controlled style of halve with a decent kicking game.

I think they remember his first stint here … it was only 3 years ago

I would rather AD or the u/20 Origin guy to be the backup half

So would I, but you can guarantee Doueihi won’t be staying to be a backup and it remains to be seen if we sign Javon Andrews.

Well AD is our starting 13 at the moment … amazing the Javon and Madden stories are both leaked at the same time and guess which we end up with

More ? He was under contract for this amount next year , and supposedly had three teams after him … I don’t think he has ended up with less

Rumour: we are signing the qld u’20s SOO 5/8

Reality: we sign a player we let go of 5 years ago

Life as a Tigers supporter ❤️

It's a good signing. We need depth and competition for starting spots at this club. Also we need our reserve grade teams to be playing good, competitive footy.

In your opinion it’s a good signing … others are entitled to think otherwise..
We have our two halves for next year so it’s a depth signing only IMO …

Don't care if you hate me, but its time to be brutal in our recruitment. Gauge Bula now regarding his commitment to WTs and if he's cagey, we throw a deal at Campbell and tell Bula he can gobafter his contract is up. I'm happy for WTs to rid itself of Isaac Moses wherever possible. Moses will pull another Galvin gate on WTs when Bula is due for a renewal

We have an option on Bula. Richo said on the ABC that his form leading up to his injury was worth the cost of his extension anyway. So I'd guess that's most likely what is going to happen at the end of the Season. His contract will go to 900k and he's off the market until 2028.

Moses gets no commision on Bula's current contract anyway, as it was established by his former agent. A few emails will pass between Moses and club recruiters, and that will get over reported by SMH grubs as 'gauging interest' or 'negotiations' with other clubs, but it's mostly a wind up.

As a low cost back up half he is serviceable. I don't think anyone is claiming it to be a revolutionary signing.

Giving a top 30 and first drop halves spot to an unproven teenager would be a pretty poor recruitment move imo.

We’ll agree to disagree ..the “unproven teenager” will be on a Top 30:deal somewhere next season … just like Makasini will be here …

Doueihi (if he re-signs) will play 13 by the looks of it, but can shift to 6 if needed.

We still need a 7 and 6 to play cup.each week and they need to be on low money and not expect to be first picked. Ideally they've had a few first grade games and not Wakeham standard in casebthey get a call up.

I think Jock fits that and if we get Javon Andrews, then we have him developing there too.

It's about as exciting as signing Kurt Falls, but necessary in relation to depth.

 

[poopy_diaper]

I probably see it that Kurt Falls won't be here in Cup next year and Madden takes his spot on a minimum wage top 30 deal

Madden is top 30 and Falls is 2nd tier. I don't see why we can't have both tbh. Someone like Falls on second tier is a luxury to have around.
