Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigerap]

Hearing player swap for Leilani Latu who Cleary signed for Penrith in 2014 currently playing Q Cup and can’t get into the pack rotation at the Titans.

Can the POM confirm this..?

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Hoffman retires at the end of the year though and Stimson is probably a fair chance of partnering Kaufusi in the 2nd row at Melbourne next year.

is he related to the legend Mark Stimson? If he is maybe we have a chance to get him. i remember Mark Stimson's comeback game in reserve grade after his accident losing 4 toes and doing a forward flip for a try in reserve grade. Great day.

Yes, he is Mark Stimson's nephew. Peter Stimson, who played a few games for South, is his father. There is another Stimson playing at St Gregs, which almost certainly means he won't be playing for WTs.

As someone who doesnt understand why we dont have a formal partnership with St gregs why does it almost certainly mean he wont be playing for WT's?

What am i missing here

Name a player who recently we had on scholarship at WTs and is playing in our ranks? It is that the Club does not see the value anymore in doing this, are we not able to compete for the cream of the NSW country junior talent or, has the club made a decision that the inner west is more productive in terms of junior development and recruitment? Lawrence is the last name player I can thing of who is a St Gregory's product but even then he is a Campbelltown junior.

Campbelltown is the second biggest catchment area in Sydney, only behind Penrith. When you look at the amount of juniors coming out of the Panthers backside, it makes what we are doing with our junior development program a laughing stock.

We need to poach Gus.

I’d rather Roosters style recruitment over panthers any day of the week. #sombrero

 

[The_Patriot]

Look i know under Jason Taylor we changed tact and had a focus away from Keebre etc but surely someone in the new regime can see the benefit of linking with St Gregs.

Ridiculous.

Hi Jason

Just sign Ian Schubert already. Surely our $1m plus tpa’s Organised through our venture capitol comapanise pare all good. Surely.

The nrl assumes we are all stupid and don’t know what’s going on.

Spelling may have been a problem in my youth. As I get older I blame autocorrect :roll

Part 1: So the Sharks sign Morris for 2 years at 210k per year - I sure hope we at least had a look at him as I would of paid 300k for him every day of the week… Once again the sharks are the new roosters with brown paper bags..

Part 2: With all the players we have let go you would hope there is a few signing coming and hopefully announced in the next few weeks.. I think Farah will sign for 1 more year as he looks good still and better than what we have including Liddle.

I think it would be a big boost for the fans to atleast know something.

 

[Needaname]

Agree with Farah, if he has it in him, Liddle needs more time if it is at all worth it.
After watching the Newtown V Norths game I’d go as far as saying he is not in the same league as the younger Brailey.
The sharks are an attractive team at the moment. 2nd last team to win a GF and not yet losing that lustre. I hope Gallen and Lewis play one year too long and they end up having a similar season to the Cowboys of this year.
Here’s hoping anway.

We don't have to pay anything if McQueen asks for a release..

That old chestnut!!!

Listen up, it's not brain surgery.

If a player requests a release from his contract, a club can refuse his request and continue to pay said player.

If the club grants his request the players contract is null and void ie there is no longer a contract.

Therefore as there is no contract between the club and the player there is no obligation to pay said player any money.

Get it?

:brick: :brick:

Thank you for your pearls of wisdom Col.

However, you did gloss over one important detail. Would the Titans be willing to pay full price, or would they rather Wests cough up some coin over the next 2 years. It depends on how keen Wests are to offload him, and how prepared the Titans are to play hard ball.

Totally agree with this comment

But if paying some of his contract to get rid of him is what we have to do i wonder if we could frontload our outlay from this years cap so it didn't hinder us in future years

Surely we still have money to spend in this years cap

If said player asks for and is granted a release, he becomes uncontracted ….if picked up by the titans, it’s a new contract between titans and said player..

Was listening to MMM on the way in to work they had flanno on. He said it'd be hard to keep both Brailey brothers as he sees both of them them as 9s only.

Too be honest we should Keep Liddle and target the younger Brailey.
What’s the point of signing Segeyaro or Lichaa, that’s exactly what the Sharks or Bulldogs would want us to do.
Target Kyle Flanagan as well to replace Benji.
We need to put pressure on these other clubs that just seem to keep their juniors happy whilst keeping them from first grade.

You reckon Kyle Flanagan would leave the club his dad coaches ?

What you guys are failing to acknowledge is when a player is on the out of favour at a club, they will often ask for a release with conditions attached. It is common for a player to ask for a release with the condition that their contract be topped up by their current club. The club does not have to accept this but may if they are happy to have the player leave.

Well I'm relieved now we didn't pay any money for Robbie Farah when he got his release and signed a new contract with Souff's…

It's been troubling me..
