Shows how ancient gus is. 1 million a season isn't outlandish these days and Tedesco is worth that. Realistically clubs can afford to pay a superstar player up to 15% of the cap.

My thoughts exactly.

I would rather pay him 800K under the Cap and 500K in TPA's..but that's me…

A lot of these figures that get bandied about in the Media are managers pumping their clients up...

Thats just a club boss trying to convince his players that its outrageous.

Ah ok, thanks sg.

Damn….

try 2019…

Oh wow…. Geez what the hell are we going to do with him?

I guess leave it for now, later start playing him off the bench and give him less and less minutes?

Even worse then. I thought he was off last year and extended for 2 years to 2018\. The recruitment and retention is really bad

Previous Management included a 1 year option in Chris's favour for 2017 at 650K..Last year he and the Club re-negotiated that option to a 2 year extension at 300K for 2017/18/19…reportedly..

Im still waiting to hear the outcome of Smoking Gun and the texts he was going to release at seasons end.

Not sure I can trust anything that has been said until I know about the outcome of that stuf. Cant just waltz in sprouting stuff and expect everyone to roll over, surely.

They were pretty serious allegations from memory.

Moses leaving mate, you got any info?

 

[foreveratiger]

Just heard that Moses has asked for an immediate release and rejected our offer, Parra is his destination.

Cleary I love you already

Isn't Lawrence off contract at the end of this season? I kept thinking he was..

Next year I believe

Ah ok, thanks sg.

Damn….

try 2019…

Right on the money, Geo.

From 2016
**Lawrence re-signs with eye on the future**

_After signing a new three-year deal with the Wests Tigers Chris Lawrence is keen to play a role in the development of the club's batch of talented youngsters._

Dislocated a hip several years back… Never been the same since

Poor Lawrence.

Why doesn't he just retire?

Money!

From Fox Sports Market Watch article. Could be related to Lawrence

**SHHHHH II**

There’s a veteran being pressured by his club to hang up the boots and transition into a role away from the field but the player wants to play on. This could get messy.

Might be Ballin? I imagine he would probably like to get back on the horse and try to go around for another season or two, but everyone knows his legs aren't gonna let him. Both he and Lawrence have enough smarts to be offered an off-field role if they retired now.

So what do we make of Hooper reporting Woods and Tedesco following Moses out the door?

Ballin is not contracted for next year, we don't need to get him to retire.

Feel free to PM them to me.

Interested to know what NRL or management did with them, but i need the texts first so i can progress.

Hooper is a massive liar that takes every opportunity to bag out the Tigers. I'd take it with a grain of salt.

I thought the Tigers were who he supported? Does that mean the Moses rumour is made up too?

The Moses rumour isn't a rumour. He had quotes from Pascoe regarding it. And if he's a supporter that's a shock to me. Every night he calls them a basket case on NRL Tonight.
