The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Yes… on top of you when they knock you to the ground. 🤣

I don’t think they need either, they have had 5 players leaving and there cap space would be over $2.500,000

But they probably have already assigned all those spots and they need coverage for the players that are going to miss half the season. They need a half and are pretty full in the forwards.

the boys on the excellent tigers Podcast West tigers Faithful were saying Chris Faagutu has been paid out and a roster spot has opened up...bit of a shame but if we can get either Hetherington or May it would be great.

Who gives a flying critter about what the Roosters do, or don't we are not anywhere their sphere and will not be until we get proper results on and off the field. One of the reasons they got May off their books is they are after Cobbo and Munro as well as Hunt.

Please stay away from Brandon Smith not worth the trouble or his high salary expectations.

Zerotackle ....about as useful as tits on a bull

Tits on a bull would still be more useful

Joel Clinton, big ugly prop, played for The Riff back in their 2003 GF win. I go up stairs to play the plastic horses and here he is with a few glamours hanging off him. Back then I was cut like a He-man toy and losing out to a big marshmallow, but the girls out that way liked their footy players.
Good luck to him I hope he got one of em while he was playing.

I think you nickname explains why they didn't go for you

As I understand, if we pay $300k for a player to play at another club, that payment comes off our salary cap so we have obstensily $300k less to spend but in return we get a top 30 spot.

Strange that we've chosen to pay out Faagutu rather than Tumeth.

Faagutu showed much more last year and looks like an actual future NRL player.

the waste of money in the NRL is a joke.wonder what a protocol of contract made - contract honored, starting 27 would make on the distribution of talent

But if we're paying that player $500k a year we effectively have a 'saving' of $200k and a top 30 spot.

I reckon Tumeth has been told you are free to go, because he has activated his PO & we had to pay either way Richo will try to offload mid season. Rumours earlier both Storm & Raiders have shown interest.

With Faagutu apparently injuries have put him will behind the 8 ball. Club would view he is not up to standard right now & no chance of moving on.

Just my theory looking into the 2 as they currently stand.

Faagutu will pop again in the future but minimum 2 years & we need now.

I asked about this a while back but no one replied, can a third party payout a player

Eels keen on JAC.

Doing the roundz

Makes sense.

Ryles will patch together a fair team by Round 1.

Theyve timed their rebuild perfectly (by sheer, dumb luck)

 

[Buttface]

Ain't that the truth. (And someone's always faster, bigger and tougher as well).

Ain’t that the truth.
Unless you’re Usain Bolt, Andre the giant, or Tommy.

Salary cap $$$ is NOT an issue for the WT.

Roster spots are desperately needed/wanted..

Sione Fainu promised a T30 spot.

Richo and Benji working feverishly trying to free up at least another 2 spots.

Tumeth should be next paid out if K.B commits this week.
