Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Canterbury moving on Burton and apparently looking to sign Brimson or Kini…. Two guys I like a lot …

They are always looking to work that squad to improve… you simply cannot rest on your laurels …

Unfortunately our unwanted guys are hard to move on …

Richo has said a few times ,there will be approx 2 players stealing wages over out put
Klemmer gone Hunt on minimal Bateman ?
The equation is ok to push / move Bird n Hunt on and set a standard

Moving bird yes , hunt no , we are still needing a big middle who can play longer , get hunt fit , I feel he was injured this season as he started off great

LES isn’t my name mate . Thats a couple generations above me . I’m not sure anyone has named thier kid Les since the 1960s. Names like Les and Kim and whatever have gone the way of the dodo .

Lighten up LES! I am just having a bit of fun at your expense. All good and stay stronge.

Brimson & Kini have both signed extensions till the end of 2030

Well … that will help … although we know existing contracts on players coming or going is never an insurmountable problem for Gould

Bird was reported to be around 400k per season,
and Hunt about the same or better (I read 600k somewhere - But surely we're not that Stupid)

Minimum wage for top 30 is 120-150 these days,
And you're only allowed a certain amount of players on that (4 maybe)
Everyone else is north of that, and those 2 - were well north of that when we got them.

Bird and Hunt aren't playing for 250k, when the likes of Tumeth etc. are on 120+

I'm led to beleive that part of us taking on bird is that the dragons are paying a large chunk of his contract.
And you need to remember that hunt was going to retire so getting 300k a year vs no income was appealing - definitely nowhere near 600k..
Maybe someone closer to the situation can chime in and let us know

Our unwanted guys are players who should be playing KOE... their unwanted guys are nrl players..
I'm sure if we go back two years the dogs were in the same boat

Ryan Matterson on his way back to Parra , when he was with us I thought of memory he was very good and money was an issue not his ability , I would see if Parra want to move him on and pay a bit to do so , he is a good lock option and always runs hard and tackles hard , if cheap after Parra tip in I would look at it , leaves AD at 7 and Latu when fit at 14 or reserve grade to learn more as he progresses

No exgirlfirends. Especially ones that are selfish lovers.
Pawa would love to get rid of him.

I used to know his uncles, met the footballer once or twice maybe, but had the other, his Dad I think, in my black book, we used to get up to trouble, before the days of mobile phones. Uncle BF played with the footballer as kids, until Tez got a contract and Uncle BF got a second shoulder reco. Terry ripped one of his fingers off as coach in Pomlandia. He was jumping the fence to get a ball and his wedding ring got caught on the fence and it was that bad they cut it off, from memory.
His uncles were good blokes to have a beer with and we were pretty keen on Ryan at the Tigers, but not anymore.

We can’t afford to lose another prop at the moment, and need a 10 & 13 asap.
If Hunt is on the bench and used in the role he was intended for, he could be that player again, and a set and forget pick in the team. We had some injuries and got away from that mid season. I hope we get him as fit as possible so he can last the season and only ever picked on the bench. If a run on prop gets injured then bring one up and leave Royce on the bench. Get him fit with a bowling ball mentality, pick as 15 every week, and give him the same basic game plan every week.

Yeah they were …but they still managed to move their KOE level guys on anyway, unwanted or not …but my concern now is about the next two years for the Tigers …the team needs to be improved like the Dogs are doing with theirs
