Tigers have signed Soni Luke on a two year deal.

Comes with an endorsement from John Hopoate lol (google it if this doesn't make sense)

I would have thought we'd try to sign a hooker utility type not an out-and-out hooker so I have question marks on this rumour.

The NRL should just f**** make NRL salaries public like in the US (just the club component, not 3rd party). Make life for us a lot easier lol

2 words...players association. Unions seem to take a lot, but don't concede very much for the wider good.

I mentioned in here before if they are not willing to publish the salary of each player I would like a club total of the amount each club spent for the year including TPA's for each grade


Would be interesting to know that the 16 million Broncos beat the 12 million Tigers


But then the illusion of a fair competition would unravel

I

We cannot have plenty of space.
Add up our cost with the estimated pkayer values and we have viery little left to spend and I was calculating it off a 12 million dollar salary cap.

think ur wrong , I think we have plenty to play with , add up all the players we have released and players we were paying for , but they finish this year

Thoughts on Wiremu Greig as a potential signing as a no nonsense prop.
1.92m tall and 116kg. Get him fit and he could be a good cheap signing in a position we need.

Oh gawd no .

…Talau is winger depth on a minimum deal to replace Staines … how many NRL games did Staines play this year ? 4-5 ?

Not every player in the Top 30 can be a superstar …

They still have to sign a middle on reasonable coin…maybe a back up hooker as well

Hearing whispers the tigers may not take up the option to renew the contract of Jahream Bula when the time comes and are looking to Target 18 year old Adaquix Luke, son of Issac Luke. Young Fullback playing in Brisbane. Most recently was signed with the Dolphins but contract ends this year.

Going to pass on Bula for an 18yo. Wow.

That would be a very “brave” call…lol

How does your player estimates compare to this CC?

I have taken out Sullivan & have 3 spots left with only about $250k left in salary cap and that's factoring in about $150k or the $300 max rebate for developed players.

Yes I've probably been generous with a few but just been going off media reports on their likely contract.

Luai 1,200,000
Koroisau 700,000
Bula 700,000
Terrell May 650,000
Taylan May 615,000
Pearce-Paul 550,000
Hunt 500,000
Latu Fainu 500,000
Samuela Fainu 500,000
Seyfarth 450,000
Turuva 450,000
Pole 450,000
Makasini 450,000
T'oa 420,000
Twal 400,000
Doueihi 400,000
Bird 400,000
Madden 250,000
Sione Fainu 230,000
Skelton 230,000
Geyer 200,000
Luke Laulilii 150,000
Saukuru 150,000
Kit Laulilii 150,000
Sukkar 150,000
Mason 150,000
Hope 150,000

Think youre pretty close re $$ tbh...the issue is how much of these contracts are sponsored by 3rd parties associated with the club?Are they transparent?
For some clubs like Broncos/Dogs and Roosters in particular,it renders the salary cup virtually meaningless,which I absolutely loathe is it creates un unlevel playing field

[wonka]

How about Fuller for Bula

The Wiremu Greig of 2 seasons ago yes but has to be question marks on his motivation or fitness not to get a look-in at the Eels this season.

Really. He is only 25 is he injured or ready to move on?

Agreed, the whole argument about players wanting privacy over their pay is ridiculous. Half the time their pay is over quoted in the media and makes them look worse anyway.

International sports have public salaries. Public servants salaries are also made public.
