Kyle Lovett gone?

[ricksen]

After all Teddy did just recently say we are close to a deal and appeared on the surface to be genuine about resigning.his manager was probably not happy with that and found a reason in Suli's signing to send a bit of a scare out there.

Why does the agent have to gain by leaking this story? I'm not buying it for a second - standard News Ltd subterfuge.

It creates doubt and urgency.

I'm guessing Hooper's been on the blower with Sam Ayoub to get this scoop.

He said that negotiations were in their infancy, unless he's come out said something after that?

With who, the fans?
Pascoe/Egan/whoever would be in contact with the agent on a daily/weekly basis, so they'd have a pretty good idea where WT stand, and certainly wouldn't be taking any notice of gossip columns like this.
If Moses (the agent) wanted to create doubt, he'd leak a story re: someone coming in with a big offer for one of the four, not this nonsense.

Maybe, I'm just speculating. Why else would they report the 4 are unhappy? Sure you could say it's news fodder, but there is usually an agenda.

Clickbait?
Fake news. Sad!

TCL you give the media too much credit

 

[fergiefurr]

no big name player will sign with anyone until the salary cap is sorted for next year. theres no way their manager will let them.

They might sign but you can bet your last dollar they would have a clause in the contract that covers against any rise in the cap

Ben Hunt > Dragons
Tohu Harris > Warriors
Ryan James > Titans
Matt Moylan + Bryce Cartwright > Panthers

They are upset with the Suli signing because they never got offered $600k a year deals with options in their favour when they were young and not established first graders. Oops, hang on..

Seems the logical thing to do considering…

I'd say the Tigers and our Big 4 have all settled on deals, but player managers are waiting before finalising etc to see what happens in the marketplace.

Your right. I'm only going to listen to whats said here. :smiley:

Probably on the mark there…. I think it was weird to sign Suli on such a lucrative deal when we should have been concentrating on our 'big 4' but that's the wests tigers for you.

 

[Swordy]

The others got paid in full and found new clubs. For the most part, to enable this new generation and build a stronger team. I think the 4 will see that.

It's different when you are talking about kicking a guy out completely

Your probably right but, it's amazing how quickly people will distance them selves from a situation as well.

From reports the 4 are unhappy with the Suli signing anyway.

Where are the reports of the big four being unhappy with Suli's signing????Did it come from a trusted source like some guy at the pub who knows one of the big fours twin sister??? Or have I missed something in the Telecrap

James Hooper ..Foxsports..

My browser wont let me type James Hooper and the word . 'Credible' in the same sentence. See, it just put a full stop there by itself. Lets try some others. Credible. Danny Weidler. Phil Rothfield. Credible. Nup. See, doesnt let you.

Is this the article?

We have to keep new talent as the ones we have now aren't working out as planned.

Ben Hunt Dragons

hahaa guess ive been shown up

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Seriously what crap, unhappy pffft.
Its a 4yr deal, min wage will be at around 280k, the sqaud will be increased to 30\. He is on the right coin path. Bet its structured on performance as well rather than outright

As if they big 4 are concerned, this wouldnt change anything at all.

Move on peeps

To be fair Hunt is on stupid money.

If players are smart they would have % kickers in based on what the cap could become or have an out if they did decide.
