November 1 and out Comes the Big Cash

[andrew 474]

November 1 is when the big cash starts coming out for clubs chasing new players , I just hope we are well into Teddys and Mosses , Woods deals , brooks I'm not to concerned about but hope it's under way as well , get it done settle them down to play Footy , the one I am concerned with is ET , where is his signing , this one is also a must

 

[supercoach]

Iam confident ET is done and dusted, but the big four I get the feeling will drag on for months. 1 Nov maybe legal buying season, but you can bet your last dollars the predator club would have already started talks with our players.

Be great if we can get the four of them signed for another three years, but can not see it happening

I can see 3 if not all 4 locked up…. .with staggered contract lengths..and before RD 1

I would even throw in a 5th Nofoaluma,,,

Noffa is almost the forgotten man. His form in the second half of the year has made him a priority imo.

I do think that if one or two re-sign, the others will fall like domino's. The question is, who will be the first to take the plunge?

 

[andrew 474]

Hope Geo is right , would be good if they were signed up for the start of the season , but I'm just a bit worried about ET , would have thought this would have been done already

Yep, staggering is crucial. 4 years for Teddy, three or two for the rest.

If we're keeping Brooks, he should never be off contract at the same time as Moses. Too much opportunity for their manager to apply the pressure. (I can imagine a situation where we try to play hardball with Brooks and his manager says Moses is going to leave.)

And obviously Brooks and Moses' manager will not want them staggered. This will a be tough negotiation period for Pascoe. Good luck, because hes gonna cop it if they leave.

Not necessarily. If they are staggered and they are the form halves they may attract more money rather than competing or the same money. Or maybe not…..

I like them odds. Hopefully we can add Sue & Ava to that list.

To be honest i'm not all that worried about Sue and Ava. They make their metres and tackles but lack aggression. Sue wants to be an enforcer but he has to walk the walk. I'd hope at midway through next year they are struggling to make the side as some of our juniors have stepped up. Felise will be there and hopefully either Paseka or Tatola will be on the bench.

I could be wrong but from memory both had less than average ball control, making a good run then knocking on at the wrestle or play of the ball..

Bout time we had a new thread

 

[tigerap]

I caught up with Ben Elias (Moses) uncle last Saturday in a corp box at Rosehill.. being Tiger fan we talked a fair bit… he reckons Moses ain't going anywhere

 

[happy_tiger]

Ava and Jesse both need to take the next step , both have around 80 games up now

If they can't impose themselves more on footy games we may need to look elsewhere

Been saying it for a long time , Jesse is a back rower as long as he can handle it laterally

hope so, he has the traits become a leader at this club if he wants to

November 1 is also Day of the Dead..
Maybe we need to clear some deadwood first.

Would not believe a word that came out of b-doors mouth

For me Teddy and Moses are the main priorities in the off contract players , I am no real fan of Brooke's or Woods to be honest ,Noffo is Ok as is Sue and Ava . Teddy and Moses are the main priorities ,the club needs to reastablish the forward pack as it soft as and needs an injection of some muscle and aggression . Can not keep them all just need to keep the players that will take the club to the next premiership glory ,there are a lot of pretenders in this lot and many contracts are up ..interesting times ahead and it is time to see if this club is truely on the right path!

 

[newtiger]

If Teddy and Mitch re-sign I'm sure Luke will too, and I can't see Wood going anywhere.
Sue and Ava need to really lift this year or they can look elsewhere.

Sue isn't off contract next year. He re-signed for two more years a few months ago.
