Tedesco Thread || He's staying!

[TurnStyle]

The entire thing has been concocted by WTs, Mayer & co.

The Roosters and Dogs have never been interested, this is all a scheme to generate publicity and a good news story to generate memberships and TPAs

Mayer has been in marketing previously

Club drip-fed tidbits once or twice 10 days ago has lead to a media frenzy surrounding this, it just naturally snowballed from there

They have already agreed to terms, WTs will announce the re-signing in the week leading up to the Rd 5 Sunday arvo Leichhardt game (an old Humpty ploy - release good news during weeks leading to LO games)…

He will feature heavily in membership promos immediately after the announcement, memberships will double, the team keeps winning hopefiully , everyones happy

And you call me dense !

im not so sure this is dense. if you consider the roosters and bulldogs were supposedly dead set to sign him and that more recently it came out that ayoub had never even spoken to them (or was it just one of them?) then this theory could make sense.

they may have known they had his signature in the bag all along and drawn it out for effect?

i dont know. its possible.

The latest on Teddy:

**Tedesco Turnaround**

So what is the real story behind the Roosters and their 'non-offer' to boom Tigers fullback James Tedesco? I am hearing that the club was torn over whether to chase the rising Tigers star. Club chairman and the man who bankrolls the Roosters, Nick Politis, was keen to chase Tedesco. But coach Trent Robinson and recruitment guru Peter O'Sullivan were happy to keep the faith in their own gun youngster Roger Tuivasa-Sheck - and won out. Tuivasa-Sheck is a superb talent and is sharing the fullback spot with veteran Anthony Minichiello but will inherit the job next season on a full-time basis. **Expect Tedesco to announce he has signed a rich new deal at the Tigers next week in the lead-up to the Tigers' first match at Leichhardt Oval for the year.**

Sounds logical thats when WT would announce anything…hope it's true...Sam Ayoub is a great player manager!

I can reveal that Grant Mayer met with Sam Ayoub (James' manager) yesterday for negotiations regarding a new contract. Negotiations only began on March 12th, despite what has been said in the media, Canterbury and the Roosters, plus two other NRL clubs remain interested in James' services.

The ball is in the court of Wests Tigers to boost James' contract in order to retain his services. It's like buying a house the buyer wants to get it for as cheap as he can
but if someone offers double. James could be forced to go elsewhere, but it's still very very early days.

A deal is a long way off happening.

i find this very hard to believe when the roosters have come out and said they hadn't even considered teddy let alone talked to him

Wests Tigers have offered Tedesco a four year contract.

[happy_tiger]

How much Teddy was offered wasn't discussed and how much he was after wasn't discussed

I would never ask someone how much they earn , that's sacred as far as I'm concerned and I don't make judgements based on people's earnings in my own life

I have tried to help answer some questions in this thread , something I thought some would appreciate

Looks like I was wrong , that's cool

That's a little bit sanctimonious.

I don't think you've directly answered any questions at all. You've made insinuations and invited people to draw inferences from these insinuations. I believe earlier in the thread you said something along the lines of "I'm glad people are starting to get what is happening now". Perhaps if you'd shown some candour and stated what you knew we would have got there a lot more quickly.

At the end of the day you are hearing one side of the story. You don't know how much Tedesco is being offered. You don't know how much other clubs are offering. You don't know the club's financial state or its cap space. How are you in a position to be as critical of the club's administration as you have been in this thread?

Firstly I sat on this for a while I knew what would happen once I said it

If you don't believe me ,I spoke to some that I trust on the Forum at least a day before I decided to come out with most of the stuff I knew

Even if I knew how much Teddy was offered , how would of this helped in his contract negotiations ??

First and foremost I wanted Teddy to resign with the Tigers

Secondly I want Teddy to get what he deserves money wise

Having been screwed over by a club myself because I was young ,dumb and full of you know what I didn't want to see the same happen to a bloke who could be anything as far as the Tigers are concerned

And their is more stuff that I could say about what has happened with Teddy and the Tigers especially while in rehab from the ACL and the costs but I won't or his studies but again I will leave that

For some reason Timmy you seem to think that I should spill my source Tell me Timmy , what do I owe you ??

Well I don't need to spill my source , the articles all coming out are supporting what I said 6 days ago

You believe what you like about the Tigers and all NRL clubs for that matter

They want everything as cheap as possible and unless there is a buck to made out of caring for footballers pre, current or post career they won't and usually don't

People wonder why others don't reveal stuff on the Forum , because they know they will be thrown under the bus

Sorry for the rant

Again , whether people believe what I say or not ,think I'm a loon or wanting my 15 seconds of fame I couldn't give a rats

Well I'm appreciative of your info HT, I'm sure most on here are.
I must say I'm surprised that you were young dumb and full of you know what…....... not that there's anything wroung with it.

 

[tig_prmz]

I find 4 year deals so stupid if I was the player. It's probably a heavily backloaded deal.

Jee his manager has stirred up the pot at exactly the right time. He knows teams like dogs and roosters will pay overs for the form player.

Hope we didn't pay overs for teddy. And tbh apart from a few games last year and his form this year is really all he's got.

Make sure you get it all in writing is all I would say Gallagher , don't trust what people say they will do

Its pretty hard to say to blokes who are rugby league royalty in your town when your 17 , "Can I get that in writing please "

Your just excited as all buggery that you are one step closer to maybe cracking your ultimate dream

 

[Irvine]

Happy are you just trying to stretch this to 100 pages :laughing:
Thanks for all your input you have been posting for a long time and I believe you are spot on with what you are saying. The club is a basket case and nothing they do surprises me.

I am a big Tedesco fan I played SG ball for Norths and was lucky enough to have James Tedesco sidestep me a few times…I almost tackled him once.

Can't say I am a big fan of Mayer...his now come out and said they have offered Tedesco a lucrative 4 year contract yet no figures are mentioned. His the king of BS as far as I am concerned.

I just hope the Wests Tigers dont [This word has been automatically removed] him around once to often.

Not at all Irvine :laughing:

Nothing would make me happier if we announce Teddy has signed a multi year deal which he and the club are happy with tomorrow morning and the MODs close the thread

 

[pHyR3]

happy's been on the money re: teddy

unlike me with my sbw arrested 'scoop' haha

 

[Guest]

I will just state again that I am 100% confident Tedesco will remain at the Tigers.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I will just state again that I am 100% confident Tedesco will remain at the Tigers.

I've been starting to feel that way myself the last couple days. Hell, we might not even lose anyone.

I think we will definitely lose one player of the players discussed If you were abetting man ,you'd have to think one of the wingers as we have ample cover until end of 2015

The big thing will be finding a replacement goalkicker as you'd have to think Patty might retire in 2015

Lets hope it is in a position we have ample cover

TIGERS TABLE TEDESCO A FOUR-YEAR DEAL
SMH.COM.AU – MARCH 26, 2014

The Wests Tigers have offered star fullback James Tedesco a lucrative four-year deal that they hope will keep the poachers at bay.

Fairfax Media can reveal the joint-venture club provided Tedesco's management with a revised offer on Tuesday to ward off interest from rivals, most notably the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Tedesco is off contract at the end of the year and is one of the hottest prospects on the open market. The City Origin representative has indicated his preference to stay put but is leaving negotiations to manager Sam Ayoub, who also represents fellow off-contract Tigers backs David Nofoaluma and Marika Koroibete. The Tigers would like to retain them all, as well as exercise an option on Curtis Sironen.

However, Tedesco is the top priority, with the club upping the ante with a revised offer
\
\
\
\
I reckon they where going to give him around 350k a year but since 2-3 clubs are chasing him hard they Revised the offer and it's now probably about 400-450k a year.

 

[Tigersman]

Teddy Is the Priority then Nofo then Sirro then the rest….......

 

[GNR4LIFE]

In that case Happy, give Koroibete his walking papers.

 

[Black_Orange_White]

Awesome. According to the SMH article Sironen has an option for next year. Don't even need to worry about him now.

Last week Mayer came out saying the club was nowhere near making an announcement …..... suddenly we've knocked up a lucrative four year contract just like that ! It's hard to disagree with you Irvine.
