Any-one else heard the rumour that souths rekon they have signed Lawrence? Hope there is no truth to it.

WHAT….where did this rumour come from?

Souths have it on there forums hopefuly only forum talk

LU… it's more than likely ...something like signing Lote means we have to release Lawry I'll bet....

By the time Lawrence is off contract in 2012...I'm sure Souths won't be the only ones trying to have a crack ....who wouldn't
 
i know it doesnt mean much these days, but from speaking with chris over the past couple of seasons he seems pretty content on being a tiger for the entirety of his career.

hes got a good head on his shoulders and a bright future outside of league

Absolute garbage. There's no way Lawrence will leave the Tigers.
 
Why would anyone even bother to take this seriously. Given Sheens view of Lawry I doubt he would sacrifice him for Tuqiri. Regardless, how would Souths fit him under their cap. They would be in a similar position to us capwise the difference being they have paid overs for average players.

they can be paid as much as they want from a 3rd party as long as that 3rd party has no other connection to the club

Yeah …....How'd that work out for Gaz, Gower, SS$BW, Johns etc

There is not a great deal of that sort of money out there as you may think....

i dint say it works, i was merely pointing that out for the poster who said you were only allowed 100k in 3rd party payments

X-Blades is a Sponsor of the club though..they are providing the payment…those payments are limited to 100K.....
 
Tuiaki has said he wants to play for the all blacks and also he wants to chase coin so i dont think he will stay next year …With Galloway Tim Sheens chased him hard and got him for 260 k and Tim Sheens got alot of stick over paying so much for him when he had not done alot at that time and with the extra money he got from the tigers because he was not on alot at the sharks when and got him self a loan and got an apartment at Carlton ...but since 2005 the tigers have payed overs for players the first time the Dogs went after Dene Halatau a few years ago i was up the gym i use to talk to Brad Clyde all the time and he dated my sisters friend but when i talked to him about the money Halatau was on i was shocked amazed and some of the tiger players payed big .......but the thing with the tigers they have been fined because of the salary cap but with the fines its not allways because they go over it ....its some times because the way they pay players ..money from sponsors have to go to the club than the players a sponsor can not pay it to the player or deposit it to there account the NRL carnt police that .. and i remember that with Terry Hill and after that it has happn again to make the same mistake more than once is crazy ....
 
really? i didnt know that…..... smh, like i said lote can get paid any third party amount as long as they arent affiliated with the club on another form of sponsorship, so yes x-blades can only pay 100k, but a company like lonsdale can pay him 500k if they want to.
 
Ok you must know who these sponsors are then. I would love to know how much Lote is getting?

Lonsdale $500K for a winger….. :laughing:

are you just reading what you wanna read.

my initial post was saying that 3rd party sponsorship can be whatever it wants be there is no limit unless that 3rd party sponsor also sponsors the club.

i never said losdale were paying lote 500k, all i said was they could if they wanted to…smh dude

Nah…....it's more a shimmy shimmy wooosh...Gaz style.......

Maybe the question wasn't clear....

Not in the Lote case and this is what delayed the signing - the NRL needed to approve XBlades to be exempt so that a competitor couldnt come in and sign Lote to wear their boots.

The report in the Herald was wrong, Blades didnt delay anything, the NRL delayed it by trying to stop Blades - all went through ok though.

Lote will only be in the salary cap at around 120-150k in 2010 mark my words.

So the NRL are giving Lote special exemption in the Cap?

Smh is wrong…..Ron keeps refering to it....

Intersting...Hope Thurston doesn't get wind of it.....

SMH as in shaking my head @ you geo…...

x blades can contribute up to 100k to lote, all other companies not associated with the tigers in a sponsorship form can pay 3rd party money in excess of 100k if they want to.

its not that hard to comprehend

It will definitely be hard to retain everyone. I just hope to God there is a big increase in the salary cap around the 2012 mark - Farah, Marshall, Galloway, Lawrence, Tuqiri and Moltzen is a lot of quality in key positions for one team to have.

you would have to look at who is coming through the club to see if we resign which if all these players… id imagine in 3 yrs tuqiri will be covered by mullaney, shirnacks/fafita's/woods would be screaming for game time.. causing a tough decision to keep galloway &/or gibbs. there is also lui/dwyer coming through....
