Tigers aren't in a bidding war with anyone for Tedesco. No other team is offering what the tigers offered on a restructured deal 3 weeks ago. Even with roosters and TPA won't be what the tigers offered. Get that much through your heads

Dont care if they stay or go, I only care who we recruit to take over from them if they do leave.

I get it but he still sounds like he is gone. That is why Happy is all over this forum trying to blame the club. Tedesco wants it to be about the club being bad.
It's just spoilt brats having tantrums.

Yeah, I was making a general statement alluding to him actually doing bugger all or nothing for the club, yet some, mainly my fellow former Balmain supporters see him as our saviour.
I would be utterly shocked if he has not had at least a two-fold greater return on his investment in league as it is about the only positive promotion Meriton gets.

"The rule prohibiting the announcement of any signing until the cooling off period has expired only applies to the team signing a new player," an NRL spokesperson said. "
Good move by the club and Cleary to show they won't be pushed around.
If Teddy really thinks he has a better chance at winning a premiership elsewhere then that is fine by me - he's put in the last 3 years and I think he's paid back the support the club gave him early in his career.
That said while loosing Woods and Teddy would be a loss, I hope it happens. It makes no sense to have $2m tied up in these fellows when we would only have cap headroom next year of $6.84m to spend across 28 other blokes.
This club has had too much money concentrated in too few players for most of its history which means we are forced to assemble potentials and plodders around the stars. Time we were able to put 17 decent quality blokes out every week, with another half dozen pushing for selection.

I will call shenanigans on that one. WHy would the players need to offload players off contract before they could table an offer. Either your mate is having a lend of you, or you are quite gullible
whats Kurtis Rowe up to these days ?

Well Cleary definitely stated that the club had not received an answer, let alone an indication that either player is leaving. You can only take him at his word and assume the Tigers are sick of waiting around as much as we are and have drawn a line in the sand.

Club trying to save face and show they played hard ball when in reality the players and their manager have just walked all over the club?
Bad look for the NRL when they have a salary cap in place to keep a level playing field and in the last week three of the strongest / wealthiest clubs in the game have literally shared the four best available players on the market in Bird, Tedesco, Foran, and Woods.
In doing so they have disenchanted a large portion of their supporter base.
Why dont the media write a truthful story about that instead joking sbout the about the "salary cap sombrero"
There is nothing about the events of the past week that is useful in growing the game its just made the divide more obvious.

Exactly….give it time, this is just the start of the merry go round. We now have a heap of cap space, there will be options.
