Looks like he pockets 300k to terminate the contract, he could sign somewhere for 1 year at 1.2m and be ahead, or for 600k and be behind...sounds like its somewhat of a mutual agreement for him to move on. Assuming nrl 360 are correct....big assumption.

 

[ShanghaiCharlie]

We will sign another half.

Can't go into next season with Latu, Doueihi, Madden and Andrews...someone will sit on the bench as backup...we need one more.

Word around is Nikorima...could be a good 14 that can fill halves and hooker.

Wow, Nikorima has been great this year. But Latu has to get first crack at 7.
Nikorima would be coming to play 14 and only starting to cover injuries.

Dolphins would be mad to get rid of him instead of George Williams.

Yeah I think an experienced half is a good shout. At least he can break the line too.

We saw this year, everyone will get game time when injuries hit, so your depth needs to be first grade standard.

Hooker and backrow need some attention still.

Josh from the emergency Luai podcast after looking at his phone ..

I’ve just heard some really bad news ….

Bonnie Tyler has died …

All respect to Bonnie …but …not sure that’s the right time Josh …

Well we are holding out for a hero

Would love Nikorima here.

He is a kiwi

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Javon Andrew’s has been going alright .. he’s is my choice to step up as 5/8 next season. The question now is do we bring in Latu or keep going with Doueihi at 7 .. ??

Keep Doueihi at 7. Latu and Andrews duke it out for the 6 in the pre season and the best performer gets first shot. Someone will be injured at some point, so they'll be playing eventually.

Nikorima is so underrated imo, I wouldn’t start him but he’s been super classy as a 2nd fiddle to katoa and as a backup he can create a try, if he signed if honestly be very happy

Rumours around is Parra is very interested, makes sense as he combines well with Moses, they do those 1 year deals (pezet) and they are desperate for signings, and at 800/900k they would probs do it

 

[Mccarry]

If we get 900k back out of Luai’s money then for me this will be the best negotiation of a player exit in Tigers history.

Adam Doueihi is an experienced running half with a strong long kicking game. We then have an upcoming running half in Javon. That is balance. Keeping Luai doesn’t make us more balanced - we have ball running halves.

The ball playing half remains the question. We have a solid back up in Madden. Everyone of us wants Latu to show he is the answer and then show it over time.

Either way, we have dealt with a constraint (too much money in 5/8s) now we need to deal with lack of depth and figure out the ball playing half thing.

was nikorima at the Bronx when Benji had a stint there?

Im not sure the 300k deal works with the cap until someone else picks him up.

 

[clontarfkid]

What role do we think the anti Luai pro Madden camp influenced HBG into this decision.

None
Weve seen enough..weve got better coming thru
Madden is a back up to the back up..a

Yet...somehow, he still receives a lot of hate from our fans.

The guy is a beast and easily our most incluencial player on the field.

More decent..less self serving..less ego
Luai has instigated his exit as he was exposed as no Batman,and totally outplayed by WTs journeyman in AD on less half his $$
Hes damaging his "brand" by staying and playing half hearted
I applaud Benji for once on making this difficult decision

Got a feeling deal done ..and if so,Its 900k extra to spend next year without the Galvinesq drama

Premiership tilt, your off your chops.😵‍💫

Moses currently gets them up the ladder atm he’s their Batman. Worked well with Luai in origin. Young fullback coming to his time to shine with a good hooker rotation. Fair forward pack.
That’s my reasoning. Also convenient for Luai for the one year

😵‍💫Parra will get what we are getting from him . Same shit different jersey .. he's not batman or Robin he's the dark shadow
We also have a decent hooker and young fullback and when all fit, a decent forward pack in comparison to Parra.
...Off chops.... IMO

They don’t need Batman. They need robin.
We don’t have a Batman

Luai is the joker.

Hes always been the villain.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

Latu and Andrews next year, AD goes to 13 or he can piss off.
