Players off contract in 2012

[Blackandwhite]

A story today in the The Daily Telegraph lists the Players we have off contract in 2012 and has a few comments from Mr. Humphreys.

Salary cap squeeze to hit Manly at end of 2012

"The Tigers, Sharks and Bulldogs are other clubs with plenty of decisions to make.

Set to partner Todd Carney in the halves this season, beefy playmaker Wade Graham has already been nominated as one player Shane Flanagan is keen to keep. But according to Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys, fans and players alike might be kept guessing for a lot longer because no-one is likely to know the salary cap's exact new capacity until midway through the year at best.

The broadcast deal cannot be negotiated in earnest until the Independent Commission is finally installed a development expected late last year that's still several weeks from fruition.

Insiders then expects CEO David Gallop to talk to networks for several months as he strives to deliver the code a deserved $1 billion-plus windfall per season.

"We mightn't know what the cap will look like until much, much later in the year," said Humphreys, whose Tigers have representative stars Lote Tuqiri and Tim Moltzen off-contract. "The uncertainty is putting things on hold to a certain extent".

Lookin at our list we might need a winger…Mick Oldfield or Sandor Earl may be cheapish pick ups.

If our halves situation isnt sorted I'd hope we go for Luke Walsh...oh and look Luke Burts off too

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'd sign Burt just to piss Demps off.

Agree on Walsh too Ink. His one strength is our only real weakness.

 

[RatedRKO]

I really hope we have a crack at Cronk. If Lote ends up retiring I think we would have a decent shot at getting him.

Or we could always get Johnny Morris back in the halves :laughing:

 

[Staks]

Lote & Moltz out; Cooper Cronk in.

Teddy
Ute/dj yalla
Aysh
Rowdy
Marika
Messiah
The Next Johnny Morris

Bring it!

I try and keep it realistic, I cannot see us signing Cronk…..we dont like QLDers anymore anyway

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Cooper Cronk is a pipe dream. Luke Walsh would be a more realistic option

 

[Poppa]

Cooper Cronk would be excellent.However have a look at Ray Thompson from the Cowboys if he is off contract next year,gives 100% each game..

I think Earl is a good player and was one i looked at as a cheap buy

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Michael Gordon & James Segeyaro would be my two picks that wont break the bank. We will need some money in the bank for 2014 I think…

Souths will throw everything including the kitchen sink at Cronk IMO. The Tigers number 1 priority should be re-sigining Tedesco, followed by Moltzen, Ryan, then Lote - dependent on how he performs in 2012\. Brown, as much as I like him, is replaceable. Bell is a wait and see proposition also.

I agree with this, Brown is a dime a dozen, Utai, Moors we wont bother resigning.

As you say, we need to resign Tedessco and Moltz.

I think that we should put time and money into the kids we have (tedessco,miller, Koribete etc). Maybe purchase 1 player if we lose Lote.

I like every league fan on the planet Id love Cooper Cronk at my club, but Id also like to spend some quality time with Jennifer Hawkins and with the US Masters…none of which are likely

 

[Flippedy]

Heard on the radio today that the Bulldogs are most likely to sign Dugan next year. Apparently they have a fair bit of cash to spend.

 

[Demps]

I'd resign B. Ryan, Moltzen & Tedesco.

If Lote goes hard in 2012, I'd give him another year or two also.
Bell & Brown i'd have to think about.

Others from the list I'd buy would be Dene Halatau, Sandor Earl & of course, Keiran Foran.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

The players I'd take are only ones who would benefit the team;

- James Segeyaro/Matt Ballin
- Luke Burt/Michael Gordon
- Cooper Cronk
- Sika Manu

I'd have Brett Stewart on ability, but wouldn't sign him because he's a scumbag. Foran, while a worldbeater, wouldn't fit into our structure.

I'd sign Burt just to piss Demps off.

Agree on Burt…lol

We cant carry Walsh just for his kicks, firstly we have Miller coming through and secondly we are not the type of team that all they can do is kick to the corner.Leave that to the panthers and the rooters

Walsh can kick anywhere, it's not just his ability to bomb… It's the real only Achilles heel we have. He'd suit the Tigers to a tee. Agree on Miller, this is all hypothetical though mate.

 

[innsaneink]

Walsh is a very good allround player imo
Has a great long cut out pass
Runs the ball well
Defensively is good

 

[happy_tiger]

I would chase both the Gordon's Michael and Yileen
Michael speaks for himself and I don't know why but have always thought Yileen was a handy player and seems to go ok against us

 

[Spartan117]

Yileen is on the market now after being dropped by Panthers for Hit and run accident.

No thanks
