I read it as four signings, not re-signings.

BILLIONAIRE developer Harry Triguboff wants to help Wests Tigers win a premiership — but won’t outlay $5.4m to keep Balmain Tigers alive.
The Daily Telegraph spoke with Triguboff about the possibility he would buy a half-share in Wests Tigers to keep the Balmain identity and logo alive.
The Daily Telegraph revealed the Balmain faction had two weeks to find $5.4 million or hand over the full NRL licence to joint venture partner, Western Suburbs.
Triguboff is a lifetime Balmain fan — but will only outlay money to help his club attract players to Concord.
“I spoke with them,” said Triguboff, founder and managing director of Meriton Apartments. “They wanted money to buy four good players and I told them I would help.

“I told them if I did then I wanted someone from Balmain on the board. At the moment there is no one from Balmain on the board. I told the NRL I have put more money into Wests Tigers than they ever had.
“Now might be the last chance. I don’t want my name on their shirts. I only want to help buy the players they want. If they tell me they are good players, then they are good players.
“Then we can win a comp. That is what I am interested in. They came to see me with (Aaron) Woods, he is a nice person.”
Asked how much the club was seeking, Triguboff said: “I can’t remember — $500,00, $600,000.”

Harry Triguboff will help Balmain tigers — but he won’t save them.
Triguboff reiterated though he would not find the necessary $5.4 million.
“I’m not interested,” he said. “What can I do? I have been there for many years. That has nothing to do with me. People drift apart.”
Wests Tigers have started the season in stellar form, securing big wins over New Zealand and the Sea Eagles. The Leichhardt Oval crowd was in raptures on Monday night during the big win over rivals Manly.
“The boys are playing well, thank God,” Triguboff said. “They are very talented. I think the general manager (Justin Pascoe) is quite a good fellow. He is OK, I am very pleased.”

That should keep us under the cap after we release Moses to Souths who are well and truely under the cap.

Agree Sabre and if the money helps retain these young players and also Woods it would be an excellent outcome. Harry T certainly is a very generous man and good supporter of WTs.

Klemmer is a fine player but we have good youngsters and a core of NRL props from which they can learn. Do we really need him especially at his contract price?
@GNR4LIFE said:
Sorry G but I read it in the Telegraph. As it had direct quotes from Harry T, I suspected that it would be correct.
No dark side for me.
I understood from the article that he was talking about new players, not re-signings.
This raises some questions:- I understand that a lot of our players are on one year contracts which expire at the end of this season. So, what positions do we need to strengthen?, who do we let go?.
Or is it to early in the season to decide?

They probably only need 1 or 2 players. What's needed now is stability and means keeping the halves, Teddy and 5 or 6 of the young blokes coming through.
