How much do we have to pay to forget he ever played here??

Up there with our very worst

I think we are paying part of Batemans contract for last year & this year, can anyone confirm this.

That's right, he joined in 2023 on a 4-year contract this would be the last season so some kind of freight would have been tipped in to get rid of Johny.

What a stinky contract it was and a sign for me that Sheens was past it as a coach, the crappy form was there for everyone to see.

Is he the last of our funded ex players? Bud sullivan I know was another one where we may still be paying some freight this year.

Pretty sure Bud is the only other one mate and this is the last year too, think after his contract was done with Souths the freight was reduced.

Hope smarter signings going forward keep this wasted cap money to a minimum but one will always rear its ugly head, Toa the next anchor around the neck.

It does happen a lot at other clubs as well not just us, always churning in the hope of strengthening your outfit.

There was a bloke on here that lived in Pomlandia telling anyone who’d listen how shite he’d been on the field the previous season. Obviously Sheens was not reading the WTF.

Some old coots are set in their ways hey Butt, after his successes his way would be the best way and stuff anyone else's opinions lol.

20yo Newcastle right centre Wilson De Courcey set to depart the club at the end of the season, according to Newcastle Herald.

I remember you advocating for the Tigers to sign him last year in a podcast @jrtiger

He or Kyle McCarthy could be good depth outside back options. McCarthy much stronger defender.

Newcastle Knights young gun makes stunning contract decision

He was tabled a two-year extension.

When you include the ridiculous transfer fee the club forked out as well it was over 3 million bucks wasted out of our salary cap.
