Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If Williams is 750K and Moses is 1.4M, I'd be saving the 650K. That's another very good 2RF, when you upgrade from minimum wage 120K -> 770K.

(edit) If we can only have one

That 650k towards and elite FB and you suddenly have a spine that can win a comp.

I'd say that figure is the Bulldogs offer. (as they're ahead)

I would not pay $1.4 million for Moses , would go to $900,000 maybe $1,000,000
Would chase Williams the pm 1/2 , better value at around $700,000

 

[coivtny]

$1.4m would be the upper limit for Munster, way too much for Moses. I wouldn't want to commit more than $1.1m for Moses, if that

In that case don't bother talking to him because you won't get him at that price.

Harvey Howard went good too

You're right, I forgot about old Harvey.

Moses is definitely not a 1.4m player

 

[Devon Head]

Unfortunately 1.4M for the Tigers is about spot on to even get a look in and is about 1M to clubs like Roosters/Riff/Melb etc as they can sell success and winning culture
to a bloke. Tigers realistically can only offer a bloke a flash new COE, 7 home grounds and a sniff of being part of a team on the way up (albeit from dead last).

Awwwww poor Tamou .. Having him (the Easter Island Statue) as player in our side, let alone being Capt .. he’s damn responsible for driving many WestsTigers supporters into a mental facility with drinking / popping pills addiction, with many others wanting to slit their wrists .. the guy was bloody awful .. to say the best about him .. !!

Thank God you’re gone .. 👍😃👍

Moses cost all depends on where the cap lands. If it's 12m vs 9m previously then 1.4 is equivalent of 900k

The thing is Brooks is on the amount that you are suggesting we offer to Moses. Moses knows he is way better than him so it's just natural that he is going to want a lot more .

Every member of last year's squad was signed or got an extension by Madge. 4 years is enough time. We were going backwards under him. The two big inclusions were both signed after Sheens started which is no coincidence. Madge wouldn't have got them over the line

Yeah people love saying that. All our $ was tied up in Brooks/Packer/Mbye/Reynolds/Matulino for most of his tenure. He had little room to sign anyone of note. Pascoe and Chins dad fked us

 

[hammertime]

1.4m in a proposed 12m cap is about 11-12% of your cap. A little overs but it checks out that your number 1 marquee player can take up at least 10% of your cap.

Didn't I read that there potentially was a large 3rd party TPA in there? Potentially this isn't the cap amount, but the total opportunity.

Not sure man, Manly have DCE on 1 mil, Turbo on 1.2 in a cap less than 10 mil...
Teddy on 1.1 in the same cap.

Moses starting number for this contract is 1 mil, He's already on 900+ after a year of probably his best footy. Cap going up as it is - The 1 mil becomes 1.2... That's just to stay where he is, Doing what he's doing... To pull him away, to a lower level team
- 1.4 is where that conversation is set to start...

Those contracts would likely be increasing as the cap goes up. DCE signed his rumoured $1m deal in around 15/16. Cap was just under $7m then.

We should really be talking salaries as a percentage rather than a dollar figure as the cap will keep increasing each year at this rate.

Is stalking illegal?

Balmain particularly got great value from their English players. Who could forget the Lockwood / Pringle combination. Wests didn't do as well. Lee Crooks was probably their best, excluding Ellery who Balmain had first. I was a Wests fan BTW.

Hanley, Schofield, Crooks, Howard, Drummond were good for Wests

 

[Odessa]

It is strange to feel this prevailing optimism, this cannot be the WT forum, for sure!

Death riding start's again next week

 

[Tim Sheens]

Moses behind our pack, it is better than the parramatta pack of 2022, he will kill it.
At 6 Brooks is a better option or at least equal to Dylan Brown
They will prove a very formidable partnership in 2024 Moses 7 Brooks 6

Don't know about the better pack bit, as Junior is like a wrecking ball on his own, and had some quality around him as well at Parramatta this season.

 

[king_sirro]

Moses, Doueihi and Kiraz were training together today at Holy Cross.

 

[supercoach]

Moses is worth what the market place is willing to pay. It’s that simple . It’s like Sydney realestate, soon as the government introduce a scheme to help first home buyers, the cost of housing rise to eat up all the savings of the scheme. Salary cap goes up, wages go up, especially if your a elite player who plays in thespine

Yeah except by the time Mitch gets here Brooks will be on half what he is now.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Yeah - Just Clownery....
Those players were taken over the line to signing with WT's by an old enigma they'd never met (Sheens) as opposed to a bloke that had coached them both previously (Madge).

Madge did plenty wrong, But gets no credit at all for the things he got right.
As soon as he had money, There were quality signings and it's no coincidence.

WT were seriously hunting Latrell and others, so there was money available for top shelf signatures.
