I think Xerri should sign with is the rest of the year ..I doubt Bellamy wants him

Between taylan, toa and xerri thats alot of money on 3 centres when we can only field 2...

Yeah but 2 of those three are injured …I think Toa is a crock…

Heard that Xerri is only on $350k ..if true he only has $200k left this season

There was a thread here with up to date squad lists for this year and next. Does anyone know the title?

So we sign xerri to play for 2 weeks and push him back to Reggie's when both toa and may are back?
Xerri wants to leave because he had to play one game in nsw cup.
If he comes here he wil have to fight for his position... so how's he gonna feel about that?

It just seems like a dumb signing imo

We are definitely a destination club, much more desirable than those scummy Bulldogs .
Have you been living under a rock ?

When players start re-signing. I mean Bula, the May’s, Fainu’s, Makasini. When they re-sign that’s when we’ll be a destination club.

To’a’s Injury might be worse than we know

To’a’s Injury might be worse than we know

Mail or speculation?

Mail or speculation?

Speculating. It’s chronic so they might be concerned with his longevity.

Thought he wanted to leave because of him switching sides, he prefers the To’a side and if we sign him it also frees up Makasini to play wing. Have heard his defence is solid and he’s fast and strong. Could think of worse short term signings like who some seem to alway compare us to the eels and Brian Kelly

Don’t speculate that. Then we’ll be bombarded with calls that he should be medically retired.

We have a chance to make the 8 this season .., It’s likely Xerri is better than Toa and might only cost $200k the rest of the season

It might happen

Yeh for runners bone stress injuries can take more than 6 months to recover (https://complete.clinic/2019/08/bone-stress-injuries-runners-beware/). Obviously it’s situational but starford isn’t exactly the poster boy for healthy nrl players

I would need to know more in regards to whats going on at the Dogs with him before ruling this out. My gut tells me the Dogs are the issue more than Xerri, but thats just a feeling. If that was to be the case, I'd be all for signing him. He was a very good goal kicker as a junior too, I wonder if he has continued practising as it would be handy to have a back up to Doueihi.

Would people want him here?

No

 

[Lestronge]

The management should always be trying to improve the squad … they have 2 spots to fill… would be nice to have another Center right ?

Pretty sure that’s not true. The offer tabled to him is the money saved from the 6 months of Bird . So prob 200k , as a top up . Plus the 900k for 4 years .

At approximate rumoured values I'd have almost a million over the cap this year. Obviously these figures aren't accurate otherwise we would be in breach but hard to see where we night have cap space. Will do a 2027 one a little later and maybe an eels one if I can be bothered but I definitely think we are pretty much maxed out this year. Maybe a little bit of room next year as there are some development contracts that have guaranteed top 30 upgrades attached but if we are upgrading anyone already on decent money then that takes up what is created

What are our big names ?

They have Moses .. we have Luai … Api v Paulo? What’s Longhi on ?

The likes of Jahream and the May brothers aren’t on much this year . $600k odd? . KPP and the Fainu brothers are paid $500k… I don’t think out squad is superior.. AD is paid a pittance… the others would be less than $500?
