Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If he can’t re-sign anyone that probably won’t help his chances.

He mightn't actually have the authority to re- sign anyone in an “interim” role … we don’t know right what his authority is …

 

[Tom Shines]

No idea, I would have locked him in for a minimum of 3 years if it was up to me.

Something clearly isn’t adding up trying to follow your logic then 🤔

I’m talking about the players waiting …why not wait for the broadcast deal to be done to see what the salary cap is likely to be , and even possibly test the market like Luai has done at the first opportunity?

I’ve seen enough of Samuela Fainu to go hard and early.

You upgrade and extend his deal now while you have leverage. Terrell too.

What’s the leverage exactly?

We can pay him more money on his existing contract. He’s also in form on a winning team.

Bula, I also don't see him moving now, unless ofcourse PNG. Dogs were the main attractant and they have pulled out. Ofcourse Bula is good, but we would like to upgrade him and I am sure Issac Moses wants an extra 100k or more if he can get it.

Have I missed something with the Bula negotiations? Where did you hear this or are you basing it purely on Tracey getting an extension?

That’s fair… I think he deserves more money next year

If you could get him for 4 years on 850K you’d be pretty happy.

Definitely..he will play for NSW soon and he is Top 5 at his position in 12 months if not sooner …

What is Terrell May signing for ?

Both these guys gunna be more than $850k I reckon

I’d offer around the same to TDM. Maybe 5 years for him.

Seems to love Benji. Glue guy.

Yeah do it ..I would be very happy …

I mean ..we don’t know they haven’t made offers already right ? If they extended the other two already ..I’m sure they would have made offers to these two

When do our offers remain secret?

They apparently offered Makasini & Samuela 5 year deals at the start of the year. $700k for Sam

Not much point the agent leaking the offers now …they can’t go to the market for six months …

He’s outplayed that offer.

And they didn’t take it ..lol

Indeed

Hasn’t stopped any manager with our profile players in recent history.

 

[Tom Shines]

Indeed

So what’s next with Sam ? Haven’t got quite the same urgency with Makisini… you want the next offer to go close to where it’s gunna end up…
