Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Souths wanted him for longer than the initial one season agreement (2025) where the tigers contributed to his salary.

As part of this transfer, he was released from the remainder of his contract with Wests Tigers to sign a new contract with Souths.

I posted a link to the South Sydney website in a previous reply to this.


At least now I know who is Wong...
Yes, we release him to Souths whom agreed to signed him if we took on 150k of his salary, from memory, rather than than the 350k we chipped in last year.
 
This isn't slavery "Skelton for Barnett is a good trade." you can't trade people. If they don't want to go or don't want to play @WTs nothing will happen.
the club should say to skelton loom you are u signed from 2027 and we are likely not going to play you in first grade in 2026 except for injuries.
He might then find NZ and a potential centre role appealing
 

Sullivan, 24, joined the Rabbitohs in 2025 on a one-year deal, however his performances throughout the season have earned him a two-year contract extension with the Club following a release from the remainder of his contract with the Wests Tigers.

This news article says that the Tigers agreed to pay “part of his freight “ to enable the Souths extension announced in Sept 25 for years 26 and 27, along with Bud taking a $100k paycut …

Given the Tigers were motivated sellers to move on ,,,it was probably $250k each from Souths and the Tigers given the original deal was $600k per year and he took a $100k haircut

 
Former Tigers;

Moses Mbye, Q cup - Ipswich Jets
Alex Lobb - Q cup, Wynnum Manly Seagulls
Bayley Sironen. Also at WM Seagulls.
Will these former Tigers mainly play cup?
Daine Laurie, Raiders
Josh Feledy, Manly
Tyson Gamble, Knights
Asu Kepaoa, Knights
Jayden Sullivan, Souths
Junior Pauga, Roosters
Junior Tupou, Roosters
Tommy Talau, Roosters

But then how do you convince Barnett that it's a great proposition to come here when his family are north of Newcastle.

No problem if I misinterpreted what I read. Ain't a hill I'm gonna die on.
 
All good …. None of us will probably never know the 100% story …

That’s why I call to make it public 😂
Wasn’t it somewhere stated that the 100k we are chipping in towards Sullivan’s contract being evened out by the Broncos chipping in 100k towards Madden’s contract ?
And while Sullivan still has some potential, I’m much happier with Madden.

100% Tom and being a local kid and knowing his old man i may be a little biased but i was dirty that we also paid Maddens wage on top to fill the same position.
