Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Coastie_Tiger]

Id be weary on signing Bird for 3 years maybe a trade off could be $450k at 3 yrs or slightly higher 2 yrs with a CO

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I will have an in length update on Thursday.

Can see everyone putting a reminder in the calendar in anticipation of your update.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I’d tell him he can do both and equally well… mentored by Madge for the fwd aspects of the game and Noddy/Sheens tutelage for his skill set, make the damned offer and at least test their waters.

Perfect tonic to offset loss of Kelma, maybe we’ll get a response this time, given Josh’s desperation

he won't leave Manly unless he is playing 6 that is apparently what Manly agreed to

I disagree. He is keen to leave no matter what.

in 2024
we have the following off contract
Hastings
Brooks
Douhie

We need to extend Hastings now, also does the club ask Hastings who he wants to partner him in the halves Douhie or Brooks and move from that point.

We hopefully sign him but he doesn't get to pick the team. Douiehi has to come back and prove himself. Brooks has to prove his worth every game he plays.

The penrith junior's POM, the penrith junior's they can't all play first grade their too many for 1 team.

Are we linked to anyone in particular?

I hope we take a chance on Schuster, Herbie or Taylan. Pele as a bench sub only but he may go elsewhere

I think it becomes about Financial sensibility once we see how these three combine and steer our team around the park in the second half of the season.

The most valuable to the team needs to be $$$ accordingly.

 

[Needaname]

I think he's probably worth close to 750, we are rumoured to be offering Nikora 650 who i don't think he's any better than lucy

550k based on a 3 year 1.65 mil contract. Unless we up’d our offer.

 

[Newtown]

In context:
Liddle has played 63 Games between Start 2017 to end of 2021
Bird has played 56
Keeping in mind - Liddle wasn't even first choice for quiet a bit of time over that period.

I think injuries don't seem as worrysome when our club isn't paying for them...
If he were that injured here, We'd think a whole lot more for it.

That said, I'm certainly not against the signing - He's class and we don't have a lot of it.
We just need to be smart about it....

One thing in Bird's favour is that he is much, much better centre than Gildart.

 

[Newtown]

Yeah, the Eagle is landing at Concord.

You mean a bird?

Bird ha played 5/8th for the Dragoons for the past month...

Could he be a ball playing backrow? Yes.

Centre? Even better. Look how thinly we’re stretched

He played his junior football at lock or second row. There is no doubt about his talent.

no doubt about his talent, but his durability is questionable at best. if he wants 3 years he can have it on $300k a year.

 

[hank37w]

That price is probably realistic for the number of games he might play.

Tigers JAC was the best version

 

[rihannafan1]

I disagree. He is keen to leave no matter what.

One young player who I think is keen to take the $$$

Is the player referred to by the POM? The in-depth update on Thursday will be interesting.

 

[Tcat]

Jack shit more likely.

That's how many games he'll play if we sign him because he's injured every 5 mins.
