Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Mighty_Tiger]

At least we now have a date. This Thursday. Hopefully the saga will be over. You don’t come into a face to face meeting to knock back a contract. Munster didn’t even ring Bennett to let him know he wasn’t coming. Buckle up boys, he’s coming home.

Here we go again another 48hrs 😜

The club is very confident that Moses will be putting pen to paper at this Thursdays meeting.
A 4 year deal worth close to $1.4mill per season (can't confirm but a 5 year may be a mutual option).
All "requirements" per his managements discussions have been met & our offer is better than the Eels.

Since Farnworth has informed other clubs of his intent to stay at Broncos the club has changed focus to Dominic Young, very early talk just gauging his price point.

Daine Laurie is looking likely to take up the current 1 year extension being offered, he wants 2 years or more but club not budging on this.

Talk of Seyfarth looking to move on is true, club happy to keep him for 2023 season but won't stand in his way of long term offer if it comes forward.

Laurie will be fullback round 1, Staines too quiet for Sheens liking & "needs to find his voice" to be any chance of taking the 1 off Laurie, Bula is nipping at their heels but a roster spot would need to be freed for him to play prior to round 10.

Club has also held talk with Fletcher Baker from the Roosters.

Like this that we have held talks with baker he looks the goods from what I have seen, can never have enough backrowers

Thank for posting also if Alex went to another club would Bula be first choice for top 30 or would they look to replace with a forward?

Yep he'd be 1st in line for an upgrade at this point in time.

 

[THE_POM]

Yep he'd be 1st in line for an upgrade at this point in time.

Just on that, there had been a "whisper" about Seyfarth going to the UK in a swap for David Fusitu'a but nothing really came from it.

 

[jrtiger]

Yep he'd be 1st in line for an upgrade at this point in time.

who else is on the list for potential development/top 30 upgrades? the club did it with Matamua and Pole last year but haven't seen anything similar this preseason.

also, do you know what positions the club is looking to strengthen?

 

[Odessa]

Agree, but why have a face to face & written contract in play this late.

Another question would it be for 23 or 24 stating year for Moses and is there a chance Parramatta would take AD this year in a swap for Moses ?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

300k more maybe but not on Salary cap. Would have to be 100-150k TPA in the offer. No way would you go over 1.25-1.3mill. not worth it

no idea about how it was structured just that the offer is 300k more

 

[Telltails]

Will be glad when it's sorted one way or another. So many changes this year already before a ball has been thrown. Brooks/ Douehi need to be given an opportunity to show what they can do first and foremost.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

AD potentially to centre in 2024 ? if he lowers his asking price.

does Bula have to wait until round 10 to play for wests tigers

 

[KingRobbie]

Yep, right now he has to wait til Round 11, because he’s not in the Top 30.

You've been calling 4 his head bro.
Can't wait until he gets named co-

@frullens Would be as a Centre, AD needs to one drop his asking price to even get a seat at the table at the moment.

as a centre happy for him to be at the club been pretty consistent with that. Also no problem with AD as captain if he is in the centres not 6

if we moved on seyfarth could we put Bula in top 30 and have a development player named

You have been consistent JT, I'll
give you that my guy. Hope both
6 & 7 turn up show their value this year
and give us a good problem to have

 

[Tucker]

If that 1.4m is all cap, that's nuts. I mean he is better than what we have in the halves and he'll probably carry us to the eight but for that money plus TPA's on top you'd want a Cooper Cronk or Nathan Cleary.

Haven’t you been informed? Moses is every bit as good as both of them….

I suppose beggars can't be choosers. Doueihi wants just shy of a million apparently, I'd rather fork out the extra half a mil and bring Moses back if they're the choices.
