Tigers are starting to make roster decisions that make sense. Eisenhuth, ET, Macqueen, Jennings, Clark, Marshall, McIntyre, Corey Thompson, Dylan Smith should all be released now or at the end of the year. We also have an extra 300k with the Farah penalty gone. There should be over 2m in salary cap space if not more as Cleary may have signed some of these guys on huge numbers.
At this stage we have Stefano coming from the Eels. Momo and Grant pretty much offset.
Looking forward to 2021:
Some huge money contracts come off Packer, Reynolds.
We need to retain Aloai, Blore, Cini, Mikalele, Nofa. If we can keep Grant that would be a bonus but can’t see it happening.
In 2022 we have Mbyes Double Whopper contract coming off to retain Twal.
This season and coming offseason will allow Madge to re design the team.
Madge and Adam Hartigan have done better recruitment wise than our last few coaches combined. As you said they’re actually getting rid of older guys to make way for young talent.
Next step is using all that money for a proper marquee signing, someone who’s already at rep level and can make in impact to our team. Not an easy task but we need to make finals in order to help our chances.
Hopefully in the coming years we see more of those young guys Madge has signed debut and they end up being good players. Maybe we can get lucky and some turn into quality rep players and help build us into a strong club.
We need to start developing rep players who love the club to attract other rep players. In hindsight if we kept Tedesco and Moses and didn’t buy Reynolds and Mbye we would have been a finals team the last two years.
