Chris McQueen signs - Official

weststigerman · Mar 27, 2017

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a cooling off period which will end hopefully after we sign our coach and if they don't rate Mcqueen they can veto the signing?

THE Titans have been rocked by another player departure with key back-rower Chris McQueen to quit the club and accept a $1.2 million offer with the Wests Tigers.
\
\
The former Queensland Origin forward is resigned to leaving the Titans after the club refused to get into a bidding war with the Tigers for his signature. McQueen has been mulling over his future for the past 48 hours and has decided to ink a three-year deal with the Tigers worth $400,000 a season. Only a last-minute upgrade from the Titans will change his mind. But the Gold Coast are unlikely to budge on their two-year, $300,000 a season offer, meaning McQueen would sacrifice $600,000 by staying on the Gold Coast.

It is another blow for the Titans, who have been beset by an injury crisis and will now lose a forward who played all 25 games for the club last season.

I don't mind this. I think we need an experienced backrower.

He's a pretty decent player but will be 30 by the time he starts with us…

he hasn't played good since 2014 when souffs won the comp and he had a good finals series, and well apart from that and the games he has played for QLD whats he done the last couple of years??

He's been great so far this year.

400k seems fair to me. Considering how desperately we need an 80m backrower who can tackle, it's a bargain.

Snake · Mar 27, 2017

On a serious note I have always liked McQueen ,a good hard worker that gives his all ..a good signing .

Published by the Courier Mail. If you google Titans star Chris McQueen set to join Wests Tigers | The Courier-Mail you find it. The article was written by Peter Badel and Travis Meyn of The Courier-Mail.

A later report was published 20 minutes ago with the following information;

THE Titans have been rocked by another player departure with key back-rower Chris McQueen inking a $1.2 million deal with the Wests Tigers.

The Courier-Mail can reveal McQueen will quit the Titans at season’s end after agreeing to terms on a three-year contract with the Tigers worth $400,000-a-season.

Tigers sources confirmed they have secured the former Queensland Origin forward, whose signing will be announced following the expiry of the NRL’s 10-day cooling-off period.

McQueen has been mulling over his future for the past 48 hours and formally advised the Titans today the Tigers had won the battle for his signature. The 29-year-old’s preference was to stay on the Gold Coast, purchasing a home in the region last month, but the Titans’ reluctance to get into a bidding war forced his hand.

The Titans wouldn’t budge on a two-year offer worth $300,000 annually, meaning McQueen would have sacrificed $600,000 by remaining on the Gold Coast. It is another retention blow for the Titans, who have lost a raft of top-liners in recent months headlined by McQueen, Nene MacDonald, Josh Hoffman and Brian Kelly. Rising centre Nathan Davis last week also severed ties with the Titans, agreeing to a one-year deal with Parramatta.

The Eels were also chasing McQueen but the Tigers tabled the most attractive offer for the versatile utility, who won a premiership with South Sydney three years ago.

Kurt Capewell is a great pick up plays 80 minutes and is good at kicking goals and plays second row and center

Mighty_Tiger · Mar 27, 2017

I'm not sold but he would be heaps better than Sue playing in the backrow.

Onwards and upwards to improve our team

He switched this year to accommodate Proctor…has played right side mainly at the Titans...can play both...

we gotta stop buying players where their prime is over, we did it with Blair and Lote, we just never learn on field and also off field.

The Roosters are a team that just know how to buy players in the prime of their career surprise surprise they are in the top 4 again.

the last time we bought players that were in their prime was 2004 when we took all the Parra players off Brian Smith.

Not true he is one of the Titans best. Age is a non issue we need experience.

Correct, and the previous poster said we got Blair past his prime, also not true, Blair did play well for us when used correctly, and he has really kicked on at the Bronco's.

Well both parties have confirmed McQueen to the Tigers for 3 years on $400k per year. Titan would not budge on their 2 year $300k offer…(which is what he is really worth)...so why on earth did we pay so much for him????

We had to tempt him to Sydney. He is a Queenslander who wanted to stay up there.
400k a year is good value for both parties. He will finish his career here.

Capewell will be a better pickup then Matt Mcilwrick from the sharks…. Was talking to one of the guys who work in the office down there today and they are not shaw who to keep and who to let go of but was also told the Tigers asked about Maloney for the next year but hes under contract
