Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Great deal for Stefano if true. Big money, great club. I love the tigers but I'd seriously think about going as well if Melbourne were offering more money and what feels like almost guaranteed success and personal improvement.

I find it interesting that average players like Luciano and Stefano are able to get such massive contracts.

Because they're not average players.

This club is average.

It’s not that complex… if the NRL was going to give salary cap compensation this late in the year to teams that loan players to Super League all teams that couldn’t qualify for the 8 would take advantage & do it.

They could …but the player still has to agree to move over there..and unlike Bateman …99 percent would rather stay here ..
 
Can’t wait to hear the fantastic replacements we have lined up for departures of our players…… we always have suitable replacements ready and never allow our players to just leave without a plan… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Come on mate …. Surely you don’t believe that …many players have already been signed across the league for next year..

Stefs got time to check out all the teams.. how many times he spoke to the Storm again?

It’s not in anyone’s interest for a player preparing for a finals run to be discussing leaving their club. Stuff would be going on behind the scenes but you don’t get announcements. Our club are busily trying to free up roster spots. 2025 kicks off in March.

So apparently we are withdrawing from the NRL and will instead concentrate on winning the Jersey Flegg in 2025 and in addition to that we are on the lookout for an over 30’s comp.

Players have agents and clubs have admin staff to do that kind of stuff,,, the players and coaching staff can be relatively unaffected by the procss

I know it goes on but it’s rare you’ll get an announcement until the current clubs season is toast, it’s disruptive to a playing group who have one aim at this time of year. The Knights just made that error and cooked their season.

Sad to hear.
Do you have any info on who we might be looking at to replace the likes of Stefano, Bateman and quite possibly Klemmer ?
