James Tedesco Signs with Roosters [Official]

@ said:
No… Just going on what the club has done in the past and using some hope

Obviously there are some minor details to be worked out, but 8th of March before the first home game sounds about right. I don't think even Grant Mayer could stuff it up from here, it is a done deal.

All four putting pen to paper at the same time fumbles? Or are the others still a bit off?

I don't know, I was told all four and given the impression it was imminent. Just trying to stay positive, but it's the Wests Tigers so who knows what is going on behind closed doors.
 
It would be smarter to announce any signings this week imo. Its going to be a media circus with Farah, and this would be a great way to deflect from that rubbish.

We will probably announce the extension of Jason Taylor this week :laughing:

It's hope you're right fumbles. If we sign all four and it's announced early march, we really have to tip our hats to the management team… (Assuming we didn't pay overs).

That would be brilliant timing to start the season and put the other preseason negatives behind us.
 
I have no inside info but I would be very surprised if we signed all four and I would also be very surprised if they all sign within the next week or so. I get the feeling that Moses and Brooks will hang out for at least a month.

Although with our draw it might be best to take what is offered now, we could be none from 6 and that could result in some of the offers dropping off

0 from 6? Try and contain your excitement SC.

Geo its a chance and it is more likely than 6 from 6\. I always thing you have to look at worst case, than anything better and your happy. I guess it comes from years and years of following our club

People still need to remember that the official salary cap has not been announced yet

It would irresponsible of the club to start working off the low end / high end figure being spoke of and leave ourselves short or have us having to offload players before a ball has been kicked in 2018

I have heard that clubs are writing contracts up with % of the cap so that they are covered either way with whatever figure the NRL finally comes up with

I wouldn't panic just yet , it will happen when it happens

He needs to re-sign and he needs to do it yesterday…. Dotted line teddy, just do it

Its cool Ink , we don't have Mayer here this time to do everything in his powers to screw the pooch , alienate Teddy and anyone around him
 
How many players who have signed huge contracts have actually performed after doing so?Hope if they throw the kitchen sink at Teddy that he can break the cycle and maintain his form Seems like as soon as we know how much they are prospectively earning they no longer appear to be that good. Just an observation - and while I am as guilty as anyone of being critical of the management at our club getting the balance right cant be easy.

Looks like bye bye Teddy. My gut feeling is he will leave - and I can't really blame him.

Would have been on more money and a better side at the Raiders right now

We have a full cap to play with and have been linked with quality players who could catapult us easily into the 8 next season. And a pretty handy coach is on his way too. Why are we being written off already?
