@Curly_Tiger They start paying Matulino for 2020 from 1st November so you're right about it being a relevant date.

@WT2K He was offered to the Tigers who knocked him back. Eels are letting him go too

Name 3 current top 30 players you would offer a new deal beyond their existing contract? Not easy.

Tigers biggest issue is a lack of off field leadership and good administration. You don't let Ivan Cleary sign players on inflated incomes well beyond the end of his own tenure. I know Cleary was contracted until the end of 2020 so they shouldn't have let him to sign players beyond the end of...

@Nelson I said 950 in 2021 his final year. It’s not made up, it’s accurate. You can choose to disregard it if you prefer. It’s a very telling example of how badly the West’s Tigers continue to manage their cap, a constant problem since they came into existence.

@tony-soprano unfortunately yes. He’s about a 300-350k player but Cleary offered him the deal of a lifetime otherwise he would never have left Dogs

@The_Patriot He’s on 900 next year and 950 in 2021

@WT2K Tigers will still have to pay at least 250k per year given he's on 950k in his final year.

Cleary should be made to take Reynolds at Penrith as a replacement for Maloney

@Goanna57 Nofo was good a couple of years ago but he’s lost it. Runs sideways most of the time

Mybe is a 6 and as great as they have been it's time to move on from the veterans off contract in Marshall, Farah and Lawrence. Ideally we can offload a few of Reynolds, Packer, Matulino, McQueen and Nofaluma. If not it's going to be a grim 2020 before we can clear some dead wood.

Like I said a week ago. Not happening.

@airbus Don't edit my comments @Spartan117 It's about money. The Eels won't pay the difference between his current salary and the max the Tigers have left in the cap. Unless their position changes and they pay some freight, the deal is not happening.

@Spartan117 it's about money. Tigers have less in the cap than Mannah is on and the Eels don't want to pay the difference to let him go. Incorrect mate. Not about money.

Mannah signing is not happening.

Agreed. He will start at left centre

The Bulldogs have made Liddle an offer so he will get the first 6-8 weeks to prove he's worth keeping.

Correction - Taylor is contracted for 2020

This will definitely be the final year at the club for Farah, Marshall, Lawrence, Taylor, Rochow, Fonua and Thompson. For the others off contract it will depend on performance this season.

Jennings will play left centre
