Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JC99]

What has this guy Thompson actually achieved to be in the price realm of Paulo and top line props?
I haven’t seen much of him and there seems to be a lot of hype around him.

Stood out this season, England international as well. I've watched him, while he's not at the very top tier of elite props he's very good and could make the step up to that category

Absolutely no doubt that Dogs overpaid him big time. He's a $600k prop not $800k

Parra also targeting Tariq Sims for 2023. Another one who’d be 33 when he plays his first game there. Tough times in the golden west.

Josh Hodgson official to Parra......in 2023. He'll be 33 when he gets there.

Mark O'Neill taking his Tigers recruitment plan to Parra

Do you think he's on kick backs from players management ?

 

[WT2K]

Yep, Simonnson to eels and cotric to raiders

I will have to read back through threads to see if those mocking Parramatta were the same people suggesting he would be a great signing for us

Im not keen on Thompson being the highest paid at the club.

You’re forgetting Luke Brooks.

Thompson is 800k

Brooks is on 900k

No he’s not

Thompson is 800k

No he’s not

His previous contract was circa 550k I think it was upgraded to 650/700k.

Super accurate reporting foxsports style

The move could start a chain of signings, with the Raiders potentially looking elsewhere for hooking options if they don’t see Tom Starling as the natural replacement.

Roosters’ Sam Verrils and Tigers’ Josh Hodgson could shape as potential options with their respective clubs signing top class hookers.

We thought we had him then we swapped him...

 

[WT46]

Lol knew cotric wasn't going to come here.. with how long this has dragged... typical

 

[yeahcaz]

Cotric no real loss for us.

If we’re willing to spend 500 odd thousand there, better off spent on an actual centre than a winger who thinks he’s one.

 

[hsvjones]

So we have signed some great players for 2023 but we still have all this money available for 2022 and spots..
Surely we have something going on as its looks like we missed Cotric and Thompson.

We need to upgrade Stefo ASAP but I can only assume we would have around 1mil left to spend next year?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

The guy gave us bump steer for changing his IG dp to LO.
Got our hopes up..

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Farnworth > Cotric

Gee we dodged a bullet by not getting that pensioner Hodgson, I hope sheens has a couple of players still up his sleeves , would have thought he may have got a couple more poms

 

[Nathser]

These parra signings look like signings we would've rushed into a couple years ago, refreshing for a change.

Cotric would've been good, but I'm keener to see what we whip up from here now
