Nofalopoulos the legend has to be signed. It will be the most bone headed move if we play hardball for small change. The club has to get its act together if you don’t sign Nofa no player of any stature will go near the joint. Every player looks at how clubs treat their long term players.
Hard negotiation is fair and tigers should be applauded lose him for 50k then it’s ridiculous.
Agree if its like a 50k debacle we should just pay, it will like you said go towards showing other players we can retain talent. But we gotta be a bit more wary about going overboard, I just think in this case there is little to no chance of that actually being able to happen due to his eligibility of the veterans discount, and the fact that we dont have too many retained juniours, mainly pouched, and that brooks isnt really going to affect this even if he is eligible, his not the one coming off contract looking for a pay bump.
It depends though, maybe we are already at the upper end of our evaluation on him, maybe we have already gone past his onfield worth because of his other off field attributes and then that $50k could be $100k over his true value.
Maybe! that's actually quite a smart statement.
this following one is just my opinnion please noone jump down my throat about it lol >
I'm a bit wary about losing the Dally M winger of the year in the same 12-24 months where we publically lost out on LM and JAC, got called out by Benji, had the eggshells and losing the "locker room" incident. I guess i'm kind of just thinking that it might go beyond the value of nofa to retain him for future signings??? Idk just a thought

We are offering 400k I spoke to a few people today in the know. It’s fair tbh but I wouldn’t lose him over 50k. Hopefully split the difference as it’s peanuts after tax. Nofa is more important to the team than many understand.
That's good, assuming 400k from salary cap and undisclosed in re to veterans, but realistically, there really isnt much people that are eligible to pull from that at the tigers right now, unless somehow Hartigans subisdising brooksies Salary but I just don't see that happening.
Tamou qualifies
Oh he does! But i doubt his benefitting from it with his price tag already low and declining (mmind you I highly rate the guy)
