Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I heard he was on $ 450 at Knights , could be wrong but 700 / 800 won’t happen , Richo won’t go that deep , he is pretty smart and with Galvins spare $ 1 million we could get 2 very solid players

ZeroTackle states 600k.

NRL360 saying if Knights get rid of him that frees up a big chunk of cash. They mentioned 700-800.

I think 450 is way off.

Don't be surprised if the signings are not big names... we severely lack depth, and signing a few blokes who are of NRL standard just to fill in for a few weeks would actually be a massive help

It's got an underwhelming feeling written all over it.

We just need guys who can hold their own in defense and don’t get bullied at the ruck. We have enough classy guys.

Tyrone may is a bigger body and has a pretty good passing game…he’d be a depth low cost signing that would apply pressure to our bench players while keeping one of our best players happy.

Taylan may is a more legitimate starter at either centre or wing and again will keep one of our best players happy while maintaining our family values.

Plus a gun right edge forward and a veteran half to help mentor Latu and allow us to not rush his progress would be two key signings that will turn us into a legitimate top 8 side.

Think we will get KPP and Tylan May,both of whom wld be beneficial to our squad
Have no interest in DCE or Reynolds..we dont have a premiership window next year + we already have an expensive halves mentor..
we need to build for the future rather than buy 36 yos for a year or two
Thats Latu and maybe Bud, both of whom will be proven or disproven later this season

Has a long look at a potential top 30 for next year.

We definitely need a backup half.
We can't rely on AD to do that role.

Unless Sullivan is coming back (I don't think he will) ... we need an option.

Tyrone May could be that guy.
All three May bros at the club.

Latu is the guy moving forward.

keep in mind what Richardson said about having money ready to take advantage of cap squeezes at other clubs. I think you'll find that's where a few of these signings will come from.

Do we have Galvins money spare?
Richo said he had to manoeuvre other contracts and I thought he was saying some players would be moved on, to afford the salary for Lachlan.

Wonder if the dogs will have to release anyone to re-sign Sexton.

We all know Knights will face some pressure and KPP is the move.

Wonder who else we could get...

Canterbury's cap is fine.

look north of the border.

They just signed Finau Latu , 3 year deal

 

[jrtiger]

They just signed Finau Latu , 3 year deal

and? he's worth $200k.

 

[Demps]

and? he's worth $200k.

Good prospect.

They're looking to lock in Sexton and with Leo Thompson coming... wondering if there's any movement there, for us.

As for North of the border, few options I could see Richo asking about.

 

[Canadian Club]

and? he's worth $200k.

Its reportedly 1.2mil over 3 years so 400k a season.

With the Bears coming in 2027, i'd love to see them throw stupid money at Galvin on Nov 1 and have him walk away from his handshake deal with Parramatta. If there is any manager that would encourage their client to walk away from a handshake deal for more money, its Moses.

would love parramatta to end up empty handed

 

[cqtiger]

Wouldn’t surprise me that we announce Kobe Hetherington for 2026.

 

[liltiger]

But we still have a Western Suburbs side.

So much for the club not trying to become totally the Magpies again.

As an old Balmain supporter, if it's all been funded by the Magpies side of the joint venture then why should Balmain have a team. If Balmain wanted a team, they should've run things better and not got themselves in the position they ended up in

And with the Bears coming in 2027, we have the following off contract Nov 1 we should extend especially TDS & Jeral asap ...

Jeral Skelton
Tallyn Da Silva
Starford To'a
Luke Laulilii
Kit Laulilii
Sione Fainu

Api & Jack Bird also off-contract, while we have a MO with Jahream for 27.

I really hope we don't sign KPP. He is on way too much money for the output. On 350-400k, then sure. Not on 700-800k.

I doubt he’s going to get big money. 500k is about the money. He can play his team in the halves is very poor.
