Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jimmy Jazz]

So, just playing devil's advocate here but, someone is released from jail and his prior occupation is professional football player, should the NRL have the right to refuse him to make an honest living as part of his release and rehabilitation.

Would it happen if he was a builder, plumber or electrician?

Would the Master Builder's Association or relevant industry association say that he could not work in that industry until the time that his full prison term has expired

What is forgotten was that Terry Hill had already signed a playing contract with Wests prior to the draft and his initial appeal was overturned. He was not allowed to honour his existing contract with Wests and was made to play with Easts. This formed one basis of the appeal in that he already had an existing contract to play and the draft violated his rights under that contact ( his contract with Easts was supposedly at a lower rate).

So in theory there may be a way over time for the N.R.L to adopt an A.F.L style draft and player trading system. Without any legal issues.

I want to turn around the club. I have been a paid member for 17 years. I wouldn’t dream of giving them $50k and I LOVE the Tigers.

I assume they haven’t paid you over $2 million recently either.

That twat was super-vocal about the Tigers alleged bullying of Galvin in pre-game interviews when Parra thought the gimp was coming their way.

I rated him before that over-reach - and happy to see karma now coming his way

How can this mob sign so many players?

 

[Tito Santana]

He is 27 now. He could be released as early as 2026, but then there is the parole period. He might be 30.

If he ever signs, he will be at the very backend of his career...people mentioning a possible 2026 return are dreaming.

Worth a stab you think?

Definitely worth consideration if To’a does not extend past next season. Fast, strong but has had a career of multiple injuries.

Don't be a racist, I mean sexist, I mean.... Just don't question what the dogs do. Gus and his fans get upset.

Think you may be a little too close to the bone there Tito.

Stupidest conversation going around on here.
He's not allowed to play from the NRL until Mid 2030 (After the 8 yr sentence)

At which point he'll be a 32 year old, That hasn't played Footy for 11 Years.

Better to get Hayne on a Development Deal.
he's good to go now.

Classic stuff. Sent traumas up my funny bone.

And we won't be able to keep Adam Douehi because we don't have any money left.

Agreed why would you want the guy.

Scumbag and hasn’t played forever and a day.

Didn’t we just offer Adam Reynolds 700k to come and play halfback for us ?
Based on that we must have money to spend.

True V unless 1 or more scenarios have changed this …

1 Frontloading Api next season since his extension,
2 Richo just doesn’t value AD any more than $350-$400k for how Benji would use him, and/or
3 We are keeping $$$ up our sleeve for a new ‘big’ target.
