So you’re telling me it’s a joke you’ve heard about ? That makes me feel like a real dumb ass coz neither my mate or I took it as a joke ?

Yeah, did the rounds a few days ago.

Was even posted in this thread iirc

Darby Lancaster debuted for wallabies on the weekend as a 21 year old. We were never going to sign him but looks like he’s going to get locked up there for a while.

Sad to hear.
Do you have any info on who we might be looking at to replace the likes of Stefano, Bateman and quite possibly Klemmer ?

That's crazy money for Stef. But a club like Melbourne will get the best out of him no doubt.

 

[Tito Santana]

This club is depressing.

Can’t believe storm would pay $ 900 k for 3 years , that’s big coin for him

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

I don’t see Melbourne paying him 900k how can they even afford it? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Great deal for Stefano if true. Big money, great club. I love the tigers but I'd seriously think about going as well if Melbourne were offering more money and what feels like almost guaranteed success and personal improvement.

I find it interesting that average players like Luciano and Stefano are able to get such massive contracts.

900 K - well done manager.

@kade7 you got any positive news? Something for us desperates, tough times at the moment

@kade7 i believe he asked for positive news 🤣

 

[kade7]

haha remember this is a rumours thread

 

[nrlsurvivor]

It’s like the players of this generation listen to NRL 360 and think they’re at a crap club so they play like crap and then decide to sook and leave because they can’t handle the losing that they caused. It will take a bloody miracle to turn this club around.

It’s already way too late in the NRL to bring in new players for this year …. Im assuming any money saved can count next year

That’s my point, let’s just loan Api & a few others for the rest of the year too & sign every best player that requests a release this off season…

 

[nrlsurvivor]

Yes, but I have a feeling you are right

Sorry I don’t get your point ….where are you going to loan them to for the rest of this year ? It would have to be Superlegue as you can’t do it for another NRL club past July 1

It’s not that complex… if the NRL was going to give salary cap compensation this late in the year to teams that loan players to Super League all teams that couldn’t qualify for the 8 would take advantage & do it.

People were suggesting earlier the club would get $200k compensation to front load a contract & open up space for a signing in 2025- that would essentially be a loophole to cheat the cap & all bottom teams would take advantage
