If there was ever a wasted roster spot this is it.
Don’t see him playing NRL ever.
Hopefully we do everything we can to free it up.

Sheez if thats the case well thats on Richo and Benji.....unfortunet given Richo was critcial of the past administration for handing out top 30 spots to players who didnt have it...his payout wouldn't be much.....

Cape town is one of the most beautiful and fun cities in the world.

I am off to Cape Town on Tuesday, to do a safari, then a cruise back to Singapore then home .
Hope I come home to a couple of nice signings

No 750k max, what happens when the rest of our pack sees a million paid for and they start wanting more money, unrest and itchy feet Tigers scenario problems rearing the ugly head again.

Plus how much does May ask for if keon is on that money. Does anyone know what May is on

Think the report was 650k, hence why I thought Keon would be a problem if you pay stupid money.

He played Ron Massey when fit. Towards end of the season after a few injuries and promotions he played wing in Flegg. Was ok. Scored a few in the corners. But he's essentially a fringe flegg player. Small and zippy but too weak to play against men.

Craig baffles me tbh.

In 2023 I watched him play schoolboys and absolutely brain it. Then he played in the Koori Knock-out as a high schooler and looked like bloody Dylan Edwards playing fullback.

Something went wrong upstairs during the 23/24 preseason. Instead of developing on the curve he should have he regressed. I did see something of a recovery by the end of the year but yeah not to a degree where I could say he was even close to NSW cup much less first grade.

But there is a player in there somewhere. Just not sure he thinks there is.

The Panthers have announced the signings of Warriors pair Kalani Going and Tom Ale, with both joining Ivan Cleary’s squad ahead of the 2026 season.

Going and Ale will slot straight into Penrith’s top 30 on one-year deals, with both having played NRL for the New Zealand side.

Signing bonus to be one of the first players to sign on to this bogus shit would be astronomical!

It wasn't the inflation in Superleague or ARL annual contracts that made Ian Roberts - Jarrod McCracken etc set for life during the SL-ARL war...

It was the massive signing bonuses to those who played their cards well!

Saudi billionaire could be 3 million a year


Did you see the plans for the stadium in the sky 350 metres up in the sky sitting on a perch a stadium for 80.000 people when you basically got nothing better to do then to dream up things

Money is no problem

Those bloody oil barons I can just see one of them on opening night.

I have a second cousin who's friends with a brothers sister who told me that it's all a big conspiracy and that Luai intentionally doesnt try for the tigers because he's sick of winning premierships

This is on brand for this forum mate.

Papi taking a “career break” checkmates PVL and his tough guy talk about giving out 10 year bans. He’s now a free man. Didn’t break any contract, and if he by some chance gets an offer from 360? Why the hell not? He might not be the last player we hear stating they need a “break”.

To be fair he has half a year break every year the way he gets injured all the time. Think it's the best thing for the Storm to cut ties. For the money he is on and he does not deliver even close in return

I like the fact that he is honest called it early so the storm can make plans

Yeah, I thought he was pretty below par by his usual standards. Only played one absolute blinder. It was against someone, but can’t remember who. Think Melbourne won 64-0. Gonna have to Google it 🤔

Loved watching Ryan Pap play - sorry to see him go. Few players have the individual brilliance that just makes you hope they are going to do something when they play.

Could have done with him here this year and should have worked something out if that is the case.

scraping in every cent

the Papenhousin has me intrigued .
Melb convinced him to mentally retire /brake his contract
Gibber in the office said he is free to play 4 any club as of next year.
Hope we learn to pass on our fading like that
we could do with a PT coach , dont think he will play again
