$ 600,000 for AD who had done sh--t all , and is nowhere near a top 5/8 or centre. Another Madge acute signing.

He’s been out best player for 18 months. What are you on?

Also it was reported at the time it was 4 years for $1.8m, so the $600k is way off

So Readys mail is that Funicane has 3 clubs with offers for him but not sure if it is an actual contract.
Storm , Cows and Tigers...
Storm obviously lower $$$ but someone said he doesn't really want to go to NQ so you would have to think if we put a pretty good offer on the table we might have a chance. But don't want to leave this too long as we all know what happens then.

People on here are saying we have no interest at all in him but media keep talking about it ??

Finucane is still an option.

Lets hope so and I would not be concerned about 3 years as he will have that in him still. People need to remember he was named in the SOO squad just 2 weeks ago and if the team had lost the 1st game he may of got into the 17 for the 2nd... A club we need to be concerned about is Sharks with Fitz as assistant coach of NSW and into his ear but they also brought McGinness from Dragons to play Lock..

The issue is the $ and the length of contract

I’m curious if you mean the issue is for him or for the club?
Are we happy to offer 3 years or are we stuck on 2? Are we offering around the asking or are we trying to get him for less?

To be honest I don't know a lot around the Finucane negotiation, I know he is option but don't think the club thinks he will be worth his asking price over the term of the contract.


the manager backed away from a 4 year contract. I think its 2+1 PO from what someone said, so it's all about salary. You can assume its a 3 yr contract in DF's eyes though

A player option make it a 3 year contract for a player at his age.

Agree
Ridiculous money

I remember someone here telling me we don't need Garrick cause Doueihi is a better goal kicker than him...


to be fair tho

what is the likely hood that douehi even has that many chances to kick that many

Exactly, he would have been in the left column.

Do you know if we are close to the dollars or way off?? For me I would not mind 650k for 3 years but that might still be too low

I don't think the deal is anywhere near close to be done. There is a recruitment meeting at the club on Monday to consolidate where to next,

How long has been set aside for the meeting?

 

[PJ_]

I'd still sign him.
500k a year and some baby ruths

Not at $500k you wouldn't

I did include the chocolate bars bro ?

First Agenda item - what NRL player wants to play for Maguire?

The field should be narrowed quite a bit.

Hartigan and Co obviously have a system in place which value players, hence preventing the mistakes of recent past.

HOWEVER, we're not the Roosters and our recruitment valuations need to be modified to reflect where we're at as a club. We're not a destination club.

So, instead of valuing a player as a proportion of the entire cap (EG 10mil), the Tigers need to quarantine a portion of our cap for marquee Signing(s) - say $1mil.

You've got no choice but to pay overs on a few players to turn the tide - and obviously the key is choosing the right player(s) to do so.

Point is, you can still afford to pay overs provided it's part of a concerted effort to manage the entire cap.

Cleary's contract management didn't work but neither is our current approach.

Of course you have a choice not to pay overs. The club has made that choice and I applaud them for it. That’s how you build a sustainable roster.

He’s been out best player for 18 months. What are you on?

YOUR DREAMING.

Ha we know it all - and yet no one agrees. Hilarious.

It’s also how you maintain a mediocre roster ..

Re paying overs / getting value for money etc etc...it all depends on whether you want quality or quantity.

Dogs went to 650 for JAC...

We dropped out as too expensive for a winger...

But...we paid 450 for Nofa and Talau would be on 300...

So, what do you actually want?

JAC for 650...or Nofa and Talau for 750.

Same with TPJ...do you want him for 750...or Tamou and Joe O for that.

Personally, I think we'd be a lot better team with JAC and TPJ.

We have a hell of a lot of lower tier players who won't win you games. If people want to call them 'value for money', so be it. But we are 3rd last as a result of buying 'value' rather than landing some class players.

I guess you’ll find out next year who ends up better off when the Dogs attempt to make the 8.
