Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It would take some sort of offer to get either of the Butcher boys. The family is rusted on Roosters.

We've plenty of money and no excuse not to have him signed.

What a ridiculous comment. They gave a great relationship with the Roosters and won't go anywhere if they are looked after where they are no matter what we offer.

I don't believe this. I guarantee if we offered Egan Butcher 1 million per season he would come. It would also be a terrible signing.

I think we offer what we consider fair value and they come or they don't.

Agreed and that should be the case with any player.The days of paying "overs" have to stop and we have to become the club that offers "opportunity"

What's the latest re Scott and Lomax?

Where are these Lomax rumors coming from. The guy has signed like a 20 year contract. Are we signing him for the 21st year ?

Signing him for 2042 onwards but hopeful of an early release

The point is if the Roosters have Egan Butcher in their plans they will retain him.

Did you guys read the article the other day in the Hearld.
In it were quotes from Pascoe, drawing a line in the sand regarding our approach to recruitment.
It’s out there now. It’s no longer something us forumers know through inside words.

“Tigers will not pay overs or panic buy.”

It might be a risky direction but I’m glad the club has made a stance and also have let it be known.

The managers are learning that same fact as well.

It’s not that risky IMO once the player managers get over it. That could take 6 months or 3 years who knows but as other forumers have mentioned, if we have millions in the cap with a positive work ethic, eventually the players will come. I just think the club needs to survive the myopic negativity in the mean time with agitators in the media etc.

I have to say I’m glad Pascoe has learnt something from his time as CEO whilst Ivan Cleary was coach!

Not just the media, but out of work coaches and assistants wanting in.

Great post mate, as a club and fans we need to stay the course.

Pay for the future potential though, like we did with stefano

Daily Telegraph - Friday, 30 Jul 2021 -

ZAC Lomax has unfollowed the Dragons on his Instagram account while showing love for former teammate Vaughan.

It sparked a range of conspiracy theories that Lomax wants out. We checked and club officials are adamant there is nothing in it.

Lomax later re-followed the club.

He has plenty of time on his hands while he gets through his final few days in quarantine before rejoining the team next week.

He posted a photo of Vaughan with the caption “love you” after Vaughan announced his move to Canterbury.

It's being reported that Storm have tabled a 2.2m 3 year deal for Brandon Smith with Roosters being interested (didn't see that coming) WT'S should make an offer of $850 per season to put pressure on the salary cap of both Storm & Rorters the guy is an out & champion and possible future leader of a club

Would need to be north of a million imo for him to consider us. And he's worth that.

Possibly would need to offer a 4th year as well to sweeten the deal. I'm generally not for 4yr deals at all however on this occasion and given his age he's probably worth it.

I agree, i'd have no issues with offering a 4th year if that was the difference between getting him or not.

Expect position 30 to be filled in the next 48hours

stop dreaming about brandon smith will never happen even if we offer him a mil. should focus on the lomax and mbye switch which is also a incredibly stupid decision from dragons.
