Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tacky]

Yes but apparently we are paying Curtis Sironen (at Manly) a little bit so could use him as our 29th if we want to.

This is correct. Plus Matt Ballin also counts right now. There is no requirement for WT to sign anyone this week.

Pascoe is a fibber in one off his Q & A's he stated Wests Tigers would be paying for no players to play elsewhere in 2018 for the 1st time in a long time..

Close on 200k I believe

How is this possible when we only signed Ballin on a 2 year deal and he retired last year?

 

[Bee-Em]

Can't find how to create a new thread so apologies for placing this here. Just heard that Steve Folkes has died from a heart attack, aged 59\. Terrible news. Didn't know him but he always struck me as a hard, uncompromising but honourable man.

Wow! 59 isn't old.

Condolences to the family.

Yeah dunno. That's just what I was told.

It isn't. We are currently not paying any other players at any clubs.

There may still be some third party deals outstanding but as far as i have been told nothing out of the cap

RTS re-signing is a done deal. Crazy money apparently

Hey Yossarian, any news on new targets or anything like that? Any players we’re linked too now that RTS has re signed?

Aren't we targeting Ben Barba anymore either…?

Tony Barber

and it's "Sale of the Century!" …

 

[colmcd]

A firing, committed, focused Barba is what we need. Not the Barba that seemed disinterested and unmotivated.

Carney?

Lets face it, he has stuffed up in the past. But he won't say no to a big contract and he performs. He is not to my knowledge a wife beater and IMHO better then Barba.

No longer a Fullback though. Would go well as a halfback if we fail to get N Cleary

 

[Seantice]

Sironen should be paying the club for the way he played here..

I gotta tell ya,Carney can play,he would be a great half for us….its only if you can keep him off the piss,then things go down hill real quick...

Okay apparently he had an option in his favour for 2018\. Not counting towards our cap but still technically a top 30 player.

 

[Geo]

Isn't Todd Carney like 40 now or something…

 

[Bazzinator]

RTS re signed with the Warriors until 2023

 

[teddy23]

I’d take carney easy, he is a solid player and won’t be on much $…..

I can’t see him messing around again surely

Ballin is not being paid out of the cap because he was invalided out. C Sironen is getting money from WT as of now.

Edit: Left out key word of "not"!

He read the forum and it turned him off. Damn negativity.

[Nelson]

Have the people recommending Carney seen him play in the last few years?

Ha.

But I think Carney has started to learn his lesson and if he messes around it will be "Carney urinates on parked car" or similar. It Probably won't be for assault/women bashing/something awful.

He will want a contract and he probably will want to keep being registered, solid and ok mentor, not a team wrecker just a self wrecker and cheap.
