Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why swap? LL literally only has a few months before he heads off anyway? Who besides someone not making the fist grade team would swap for those few month. Unless people are saying for getting LL for a few months we should get one of their young talents on a 3 year contract, if that’s the case, why would cowboys agree to that?
 
How quick some are to write off the season now Maguire has been axed - the same who were calling for his head because we were losing with a significant injury toll. What possible good reason would there be in giving away LL other than to weaken the squad without getting a FG ready player in return? Great motivation for the current squad to have a crack for the rest of the season let alone attract any players to want to join us.

Absolutely right..sends a really bad signal to our other players that we'll sell you out for this season by losing our most damaging forward..
...and besides,we wld only save 4 months of his salary as contracts go November to October
Maybe we release him end August for Cowboys to use in their inevitable finals playoffs and get something for nothing(as we certainly wont be participating)

Yes. Also don't know how many supporters would go out to watch a club that has given the season away.

If North Qld want Leilua, I'd be looking for a swap and cash adjustment for two of their juniors

Tekelu Mene and Ragarive Wavik.

Mene is a super quick winger and is a prolific try scorer. Wavik is a fullback from PNG and represented the Aust Schools with Dudley Dotoi.

Paws....how do you come up with all this info.
I'm nominating you for this month's WTF top investigative member.
For your efforts I award you one of Demps homemade kebabs.
Now the formalities are over, would you rather do a deal to get their coach or get these young fellas?

At the end of the day, why not save some (more) money by flicking Luc to the Cowboys. We ain't winning anything (except maybe the spoon) and it appears development is again the order of the day at the Tigers...

We're already 500k under the cap this season, we need to sign 2 more players. Being 750k under the cap doesn't help us in any case.

With Luki seemingly doing his ACL yes they'll want him early to try go on a run, so who are they willing to trade? We need a quality, first grade ready player.

Why would we sign them just so we can play them in sg ball next season?

I'm sure these two came to the attention of our scouting system. Mene played for Ignatius Park School and Wavik for Kirwan SHS but are in the Cowboys' system.
