Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

From Buzz latest article:

Which million-dollar forward (it’s not hard to guess who) is fighting to save his career at an NRL club after a sluggish start to the season? He is free to negotiate with rival clubs from November but will be offered an early release unless his form picks up.

Bateman? Paulo? Matterson?

Please not Matterson the 5 min man.

Not sure if it means a million a season. I think he would have written it that way if it was? Better for click bait. Probably a player who’s on a contract worth more than 1mil.

Was thinking it could be David Fifita who is paid $1m a year and off contract end of next year

I think Tim sheens deserves abit of credit here the bloke has a great eye for good Jr footballers. He stated this is the best crop of he’s he’s ever seen 3 years later there playing consistent first grade.

Tim Sheens went & handed a bunch of kids who are no where near ready to play NRL a bunch of top 30 contracts & was a big reason why we copped spoons… he doesn’t deserve any credit

Fifita is welcome at the Tigers any time 🤣

Not sure what's going on up there but he's a brilliant player. Des doesn't seem a fan

Would love Fifita but the way our squad is structured we couldn't carry him on anywhere near his current wage, if Galvin doesn't re-sign we would have cash to spend though.

As far as Galvin & TDS is concerned I think it's almost a package deal. Best mates. TDS fully committed, Galvin will follow if the money is close/good enough.

Scott Salter on SEN yesterday said he believes Galvin won't hit the open market as Richo is the best person in rugby league history in "selling a dream" & has a very close relationship with Galvins parents.

Prior to this he said he spent the week with Blake Solly from Souths for his dad's anniversary. Solly & Richo very close. Take from that what you will.

Did Galvin and Latu play together and aren't they close?

I thought Galvin/Latu/TDS and Feledy were all friends in junior grades or something.


Both Benji and Richo are making us the mates club. We keep players by building friendships and a strong player group. Seemed to work at keeping the core 2005 group together at the Tigers for a long time (take from that what you will).

Honestly, I would prefer fewer changes going forward. Yes the Big 4 failed us in the past, but if we can keep a core group playing together we can build a team that we like and is worthy. I am also thinking it's probably wrong to build a team around halves... Particularly 5/8. This failed us with Brooks, we needed to change and couldn't. You can keep Center's and keep front row together.

I don't think Feledy is at the level brilliant junior, but can't bust the line at first grade level.

Retention we need to look at Doueihi sooner rather than later. He can sign with anyone else from now. Impressed at 7 in the trial, can ball play, can kick in play & can kick goals. Yes D is questionable at times & obvious injury concerns.

Another year with a 2nd year mutual option is what I would look at the $$$ will be the deciding factor. If he looks at the market a few desperate teams may pay overs for the positives listed above.

I would say $600 is about the money with salary cap increases & a starting centre who goal kicks. Just think Vla Holmes got 2.5m over 3 years at the Dragons.

They are pretty comparable with pros & cons

No way. 600k, just no.
Min or see ya. He has another 122 games to make up for.
I love how people get drunk on a couple of wins, a couple of losses and he’s a hack. One or two games does not make a champion, or a $600k centre.
Also Vals agent is way better than Doobies.
