Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Would love scolari and rua upgraded.

Scolari looks very strong.

Scolari is a good player. He played in the forwards as a a junior in union.

He's a great prospect for FG as a winger.
Very fast and elusive.

Hope we see a few of these young guns make their way into grade for us.

He is a good prospect and should be playing grade this year. Just out of curiosity, which winger are we dropping to reserve grade so he can get a run. The $600000 one or the $400000 one.

The one that can't run in the right direction....


Hopefully KOE comes back so Scolari can bet some game time

The one that can't run straight.

Hopefully reserve grade is back so he can develop his game and progress through the grades.

Cool. So we will have a $600000 winger in reserve grade for the next 3 or 4 years. Maybe if Hill stays and kicks on also we can have a million dollars siting on our wings in reserve grade. And we wonder why we are a shambles.

Just let him go and carve up for another club then and we'll be sitting here stumped like awhhh would ya look at that.

Club needs depth.

The promising players should be kept and developed for first grade.

I don't get your logic or argument.

These guys are a few years away.

I am not saying to get rid of them. I agree totally with you with regards to depth and development. The point I am making is the length of contracts given to both Maumolo and Nofo were excessive and to long. Correct me if i am wrong but they are with us for the next 3 to 4 years. Surely Scolari will be playing grade by then. If so we will have excess dollars sitting on the wings in reserve grade.

Do not worry Nuffie will not last the distance !

Who said he is paid $600k? Man some people just inflate values just to justify their agenda.
Be surprised being that it is a long term deal most people would negotiate a longer contract term if the target salary isn’t possible. I doubt he is owed a backend inflated deal either.

Theg we’re arguing over 50k and an extra year. The offer was 400k so assuming at worst it’s 450k. He was worth it at the time was great that year. Has regressed terribly.

Our last ex Rugby forward turned winger was quite a useful player.

Forward? He was a winger for Joeys... Maybe you're thinking of Guyan who was a number 8 in rugby

I'd expect formal discussions with contracted players at other clubs to be progressed after 1 November. Some (I believe the Eels are one) have a number of players free to talk after 1 November.

My understanding is they can talk to them already but cannot discuss or make offers until Nov 1.
I find it hard to believe clubs would gauge interest from a player or Player Manager and not discuss $$$.
We can only hope we are all over this

That are off contract ? Mahoney, paulo, rcg, gutherson, Matterson, Papalii, niukore and Dylan brown

 

[Lukic]

Ftr if even if Nofoaluma is being overpaid, he qualifies for the long-term player allowance and we get $300k off his salary. So while he might be on $550k, it's only $250k for cap purposes. That's perfectly fine imo.

That is not how the long term serving player allowance works, we get $200k total added to our cap.

I think one of Brooks or nof can use this allowance. We don't need both.

I think we'll be going hard for Papali'i. Why wouldn't he have re-signed if Parra could make him a decent offer. They just don't have enough money for everyone

Yeah it doesn't matter how many you have, it doesn't add anymore to your cap.

Can’t understand how if they were pushing for both with only ‘talk’ of another offer, that we would offer both. It would of had to of been a negotiation and as we know he got an extra year I doubt he would of got the extra 50k providing he had just been paid that in terms of an additional year of security.

He wanted around that 590 k figure but didn't get it ...despite Lee's love affair with him

 

[nuggetron]

wouldn't have any issue throwing an offer to Makatoa, 28 with only 5 first grade games but the bloke was a weapon

Good luck to this lad.
Feel like he can really go to a new level at the Raiders.

Good move.
Good on him for challenging himself.
🔥🔥🔥

Good on the Raiders for going and getting the guy they wanted regardless of contract status... (I think he'd not long signed on)
Wish we'd follow suit... We seem to use the old
"Well, There's no one off contract" Then wonder why we can't get good players...

Note to club: Good Players are never off contract!!

If he wants to improve his kicking game he has gone to the perfect place

Ricky had arguably the best kicking game I've ever seen ...better than Lewis even
