Leilua is looking closer to being a Tiger, no official offer but prepared to pay $500,000 over 3 years.
Douhei is keen & so is Madge, as been said before major sticking point is what Souths will put in. They don’t want to cover anything & we refuse to pay all or his 2021 wage. So that could hit a stalemate.

Thanks for your info. If Doueihi does not eventuate, do we have other players that we are targeting to play fullback for us in 2020.

If he doesn’t sign on, they’ll stay with Thompson for start of the year & wait time see if someone worthy of chasing gets itchy feet throughout the year.


That rarely happens...and the season will be shot again. Cory under the high ball with the new rules, geez....

Douehei is going to be very good IMO, covers multiple spots and kicks goals.

Only we can mess this stuff up. Watch the Storm grab him and he becomes a star.

Any update on Stefano being released by the Eels?

His manger gave the club the indication a meeting last week with the Eels was to finalise a release only to be knocked back AGAIN !
Lucky swearing Is not allowed as Parra a being real .........

I dislike every club not named WT.. but this bunch are definitely top of the dislike list for me.

Parra and Souffs are in a class of their own and always have been,the lowest of the low

I really do think we need to just pull the trigger here. No point being cute for $100k. He'll make a big difference to us.

I’m starting to come round to this Doueihi kid ..
Can’t believe he’s in half a mill though !
 
I think the problem here is how will the rest of team feel about the 500

Don’t want to create a value problem on a relatively unproven player
 
Why are people freaking out over Canertbury Cup signings...i didn't realise Wests had such a following..

The Tigers digging their heels in does nothing. Souths won't budge and we have no leverage in negotiations. All we're doing is allowing other clubs a chance to swoop in.

This isn't some surplus signing like Stefano. It would fix a weakness in our squad.

Just sign the damn kid for what he's worth

and if the club does pay the extra $100K someone will complain here again that we are helping Souffs with their cap or we paid overs... the club can't win either way - damned if they do and damned if they don't

If he is a first grade fullback most are running at more than $500k. Sign him please Madge. There is no place for quabling when it comes to a likely team saviour.

The extra money is worth just based on the fact HE CAN CONVERT TRIES.

Momo is unreliable even with chip overs. Mbye unreliable.

We have had no legit goal kicker for 4 years. The only club not to have one.

How on earth we are not rushing to sign a legit first grader, who wants to come, who covers ALL the positions we need...and kicks goals...I just don't know.

Agree with this. Corey is a gutsy player but he needs to be a fringe player. If he's starting we're not recruiting well enough.

not sure how you can call that reliable YET!!! I am not against him being signed... just don't sing too much praise on him YET.
 
Souths are probably just pushing their luck on the absorption of some of his contract. They would be feeling the pinch next year especially.

No one is going to roll over straight away, and the play will want financial incentive to move on.

There was a 45 second highlight reel of those 2 Tries somewhere..
 
If Doueihi ticks all the boxes with Madge, just sign him whether or not Souths contribute anything! Read somewhere that they were looking at (maybe) kicking in $100k. Previously it was zero. $100k in the context of the player market as it now is, is chicken feed.
