Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Newtown]

News is AJ wants to see out his contract with Souths and is determined to stay put. Let's see how that works out for him. On the other hand Marwene Hiroti is very keen. He's on a train and trial with the Sharks but his preference is the Tigers, most likely more opportunities.

More to the point, let's see how that works out for Souths and their salary cap. Something (or someone) must have to give.

Is there a time limit by which Souths have to sort out their salary cap situation for 2020?

Technically they can’t register a contract that will see the cap exceeded. So if NRL has registered it they are saying they are cap compliant for 2020 with latrell. Now if they want arrow that probably changes things

although they now have Mitchell i think they are still chasing an Arrow and a Fox.Will be even more interesting how they manage that.

Rusty will sort it, and the NRL will sign off on it, mean while we are chasing shadows

I can’t upload my spread sheets (for obvious reasons) but I’m happy to post the top 5 analytically rated players of each position coming off contract this and next year if you guys are interested. The rankings come in order of VFM and +/- combination.

Cmon Aiden Tolman, cmon Aiden Tolman...

Conspiracy theory - I keep wondering why roosters were so keen to gift us a fullback.
Only thing I can come up with is Tedesco is approachable nov this year.

No way Tedesco will ever come back. He's won two premierships in two years at the club he loved as a kid and has everything paid for him. As long as he's fit Uncle Nick will sure he'll stay.

He's gone and will stay gone.

And should stay gone. I don't want him back.

Tedesco has speed...

There was a poster on here by the name of smoking gun in the very same industry…Do you know him…?

No sir, whatever do you mean sir? I know not this Mr Gun; I am Mr Smoke from Basingstoke, sir. Have a great day!

That’s a shame and surprising. With us has the chance to play fullback and get good money. There’s a chance with Souths he doesn’t make first grade. Weird.

He might stick it out til June. But when he’s In reggies behind

Mitchell
Graham
Burns
Roberts
Gagai

He probably changes his mind.

Phillip Sami would of been a good pick up. Titans did well to get him signed up.

If tigers want a “name” for the back line then JAC is the name but really his price v others probably not worth it if you can nab cotric for example. Okunbor ratings will probably go through the roof this coming season as wel.

If tigers are SERIOUSLY after a fullback and a fullback only (Not utility) but want to save money for a NAME winger or centre then they really should go after edwards or aetkins only. Both off contract 2020 both gunning for the same spot in the same team. They rate VERY highly on the VFM ranks

Would like Cotric but he is a Canberra junior and I cant see him leaving. JAC I see as having higher value to us than other clubs, as the prodigal son and also as that source of speed to finish things.

As always, this place is binary....AJ would be great/rubbish, Sami would be good.

Never binary. AJ would be better than Sami, but not at the $$ he will cost.
