Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Yossarian]

still hearing from my contact ewan aitkin is coming from st george, another centre i know but solid and not a too much of a hefty price tag. He will be here before june 30
not thrilled about it but madge must have a plan

No offence, but you're contact is currently sitting at a 0% success rate.

And for someone with apparent inside knowledge of our club they sure seem happy for you to keep blabbing about what would otherwise be confidential discussions.

You're contact isn't Blocker, is it?

I’d say we’re more likely to lose a centre than gain one.

Momo for JAC?!

Ha! Close but not quite. Haven't heard anything about JAC

Souths guys reporting Doueihi to WT, 4 years, they’re chipping in some of Year 1. Also reckon we’re sending a forward their way.

Sorry I might be out of the loop. But I've heard a couple of times about us supposedly sending a forward to souths. Is this part of a player swap? Or are we just releasing an unwanted forward to free up more cap space in hope of us landing someone else?

It would be nice if it’s Packer given he’s going to be getting 800k to play CC for Wests

 

[swag_tiger]

Please be packer to Souths.

I haven’t heard anything about it still. But I think the 2 mil over 4 years could be spent better

He’s on a fair bit less than that mate

 

[airbus]

Given Pascoe signed Taylor for 600k I’d say it’s a fair price

I was thinking McQueen

Edwards Meaney and aetkins better options as pure fullbacks. Won’t be a great signing if at the reported figure for tigers or roosters. Roosters being interested is just weird if I’m being honest

Roosters are interested in everybody. Those flogs would have a squad of 90 blokes jammed in under their salary cap if they were allowed.
I'd be happy to take Ryan Hall off them considering he is stuck in reserve grade with them.

The more I think about it the more it doesn’t make sense roosters offering the 4 year deal at that price. Anyway see what happens tomorrow morning. Weird one

The Pom mentioned we were in talks with him this arvo for 1 last shot to strike a deal with bunnies hopeing that went really well and we get him on a decent contract without paying overs

 

[Vince Farrar]

Channel 7 just said we got him?

And yeah I agree with you but one thing they don’t do is make dumb decisions financially which is why I’m doubting this the more I think about it. Tigers on the other hand full of dumb decisions

 

[finnzo]

Not since Madge has come here But other than Jennings

 

[earl]

I assume 600k for 3 years. I rate Taylor but I can't see anyone signing him for that amount.

 

[tigerbenji]

Channel 7 said we are favourites to get A D?, who knows.

Not sure if they don't make dumb financial decisions themselves though. What a waste of space that other pommy winger was that they signed 3 or 4 years ago (was his name Burgess?) he was talked up big time when he lobbed (and wouldn't of come cheaply) yet he was an utter flop.
Roosters paying half of blokes wages under the table means their bad financial decisions are just washed away with the tide, compared to our bad signings (granted there have been PLENTY!!) that stick out like dog's nuts.
