How much money will be freed up with Ellis and Lote gone?

[851]

As I said earlier,Dave Taylor,but also Boyd Cordner from Easts is a great prospect,and he would be cheaper than Ellis leaving money to spend elsewhere.

Jason Taumalolo has big wraps on him - only a young player and another of NQs rising stars - check his profile here :

He just resigned with the Cowboys until 2015.

I would go Gallen or Corey Parker, but really there is no one who could replace Ellis.

There is no doubt in my mind that Australia coach Tim Sheens is going after Cooper Cronk (you know, the guy he picked over his club captain Robbie Farah for a 4 nations test against England @ Wembley a few months ago). Ellis contract + Lote package (contract + 3rd party deals) = what? $500k? $600k? $700k? Thats enough to get you in front of his agent for a chat…

Mate cronk wants 850\. Heard sonny bill signed at easts for five years for 5.6 million. The inside word is we are after Beau scott

 

[Gurry]

850\. damn. proof there is a lack of quality halves.

I would let Lote and Moltzen go and with Ellis leaving use that money to buy the best available player that we most need and that for mine and by a long way is Copper Cronk. He would be great for our team.

There is rumers going around were after gerard beale is it true ??

 

[Sabre]

Hmm Beale hey, well I guess theoretically losing Lote and Ellis would provide enough space.

If we use up all the cash on an import we must be prepared to lose a few younger players.

Thats a pretty old rumour… I think I first heard it back in October last year.

I didnt mind watching JWH last night?

If we don't make a play at Cronk we should go all out for Foran, he can leave Manly and is a great player.

 

[Stripes96]

You have to remember, though, buy a Foran or Cronk and you can say goodbye to future prospects like Miller and Chisholm

850k for Cronk Cash or Cheque

Done deal

Where will you get that money from you ask

Lote ,Gareth and Moltzen plus increase from Salary Cap

 

[cktiger]

Shows how poor the stocks of halfbacks are if Cronk can get that much money.
The guy is a good quality player ( and not getting any younger) - but nowhere near the class of players like Johns , Langer , Stuart etc
Even if we got him Marshall and Farah would still control the team - massive waste of money IMO.

Foran will be in FG the next 10 yrs and Cronk is the best Halfback in the game. If by some miracle we could pull either out of our backside it would be Dane who? and Jacob who? lol :crazy

 

[tigerbenji]

The money fron Ellis would be a fair amount, Lottie who knows? maybe he comes back from injury & plays good footy & signs a new contract, How much money is 3rd party deals with Lottie?. I dont think they are going to let Moltzen go after all the drama of keeping him this year & not letting him go to the Dragons, so this is going to be very interesting as someone used to say.

CK If we had Cronk playing in that semi v the Warriors i bet he wouldn't have run it on the last That is the difference He is the balance we need between Farah and Marshall

I seriously doubt Lote will re-sign… If we were able to sign someone like DCE the club would have zero hesitation is releasing Tim Moltzen.
