Highly regarded Fullback in FleggWasn’t he a winger?
There are zero halfbacks who would sign for $300k to play first grade.I wouldn't believe that for a second. Buzz, wtf would he know.
If we did sign that deal it's up there with the worst in WT history! Very hard to believe we would sign a reserve grader on that much, for that long too. Would be extremely incompetent, even for us!
His realistic current value is about 300k. The WT tax may mean we had to pay more.
It was initially being reported as a 2 year deal, with an option of a third. Then somehow got announced as 4 years. I reckon at least one if not 2 of the years are options.
But these figures aren't accurate. Why do you estimate Fainu is on $250k?I would estimate Sullivan 450k
Sezer 350k
Fainu 250k
Galvin 125k
Currently
I just made my thoughts clearI hope to God the club are reading this. Otherwise they will have no idea what to do
This is a strange post from you. For someone with his hand on the pulse of junior talent at our club I would have thought you would understand that no-one wants to come to the club that is coming last. Especially some of the best young halves in the game.I would estimate Sullivan 450k
Sezer 350k
Fainu 250k
Galvin 125k

in response too "We have been used again to inflate a marquee players contract elsewhere haha."I think the complete opposite. If it comes down to us and them. he’d have to be made of stone to turn down the money we’re prepared to pay him. Penrith are going to sound confident. What else can they say?
Latu on $250k? Pretty sure half the reason manly were willing to let him go is because he would’ve been on over $300k 2024. I don’t think he’d be at tigers on a pay cut, was reported the bro’s signed 4 years each and their contracts combine for $4 millionI would estimate Sullivan 450k
Sezer 350k
Fainu 250k
Galvin 125k

Because that's what he was on at Manly, and that's what we took on.... His value increases year on yearBut these figures aren't accurate. Why do you estimate Fainu is on $250k?
And those reports are bullshitLatu on $250k? Pretty sure half the reason manly were willing to let him go is because he would’ve been on over $300k 2024. I don’t think he’d be at tigers on a pay cut, was reported the bro’s signed 4 years each and their contracts combine for $4 million
What's your source? Widely reported at $500k per season. Not doubting it could be wrong, but you need to put up some sources.Because that's what he was on at Manly, and that's what we took on.... His value increases year on year
I'd say Nofo will be there not LobbBack 5 at the moment of:
1. Bula
2. Lobb
3. Toupu
4. Toa
5. Staines
I don't think you understand how few 18 year olds are actually on NRL contracts. Practically no clubs have players that young in NRL contracts, as they're not ready to contribute in the NRL yet. The WT tax that we had to pay to Secure our youngsters was giving them professional contracts before they're ready for them.This is a strange post from you. For someone with his hand on the pulse of junior talent at our club I would have thought you would understand that no-one wants to come to the club that is coming last.

There is no way we sign anyone on the money you have listed. I recall the Fainu's deals being closer to $500K each, and if Galvin is only on $125K then we can wave him goodbye very quickly.
Gus always says the money comes second, especially for the kids. However he also upgrades players salaries when they make grade regularly in order to show loyalty and make them feel wanted. I am pleased with the quality we have secured and I think the money is overs, but fair given the potential of these kids and the mess the club is in after two wooden spoons, a new untried coach and ongoing negative press.
Not widely reported. Hooper plucked that number out of his ass, and a few other websites just copy pasted what he said, that's how sad journalism has become these daysWhat's your source? Widely reported at $500k per season. Not doubting it could be wrong, but you need to put up some sources.
Well it was widely reported. More widely reported than what you've put up here. I guess we just take you at your word. On a side note, I don't remember you being this grumpy in the past...why the agro?Not widely reported. Hooper plucked that number out of his ass, and a few other websites just copy pasted what he said, that's how sad journalism has become these days
There are no publicly documented sources of player salaries like there is in the NBA etc. Only the word of people who claim to have received details. I trust the person I spoke to more than I trust pooper, that's for sure. But the nature and identity of sources will always remain private
Depends how bad he wants to be a halfback, or how bad he wants to run his own team.I think the complete opposite. If it comes down to us and them. he’d have to be made of stone to turn down the money we’re prepared to pay him. Penrith are going to sound confident. What else can they say?
Everyone’s getting carried away over Lobb because of his physique, like they have never seen a professional athlete before.I'd say Nofo will be there not Lobb
Personally think it's just Penriths right of reply within the 10 day cooling off period. Reckon he's agreed to terms verbally with the Tigers and Penrith are just trying to see if they can come up with something to keep him. No inside info just purely speculation on my part.Not just that....
He has absolutely no future at Penrith.
Jett Cleary can't be that far off and I'd bet anything they're looking to bring him through to play with
Nathan and carry the Cleary mantle out there for years to come....
They may convince Luai to sign for another 2-3 more years to tie them over
- But beyond that.... There'll be nothing there for him.
