Tedesco Thread || He's staying!

[happy_tiger]

Yeah apparently even Anasta is owed most of what he was entitled to from last year…

Says who? Where is this info?

_Posted using RoarFEED 2013_

Well its not as if the club will release this info in a fuzzy , feel good interview is it ??

And it would be career suicide if a player came out and said they were still owed money by a club and made a major fuss

Probably be a breach in their contract doing so

Anasta isn't the only player owed money by the Tigers

I understand the Tigers are playing a fine balancing act with funds at the moment , but the players have to be paramount in all of this

I'm currently studying my 3rd degree and anyone worth their grain of salt knows you don't rely on unfounded sources. There is no weight to those comments except the weight you give it. Spinsters!!! they can't afford Gatorade bottles hahah, even I can afford it which just sounds dumb!!! James Tedesco was out for a full season and supported by the tigers boys, what, now he can't help out a fellow youngin in brooks…if that was his attitude then we are better off without him...unfortunately, I don't believe a word of that nonsense and YOU shouldn't either...I got Tedesco resigining and im pretty sure about,,, just a gut instinct!!!

I don't mean to sidetrack this thread, but the above statement is just too rich in irony, self-righteousness and inconsistency not to comment on.

Simmo writes: "I'm currently studying my 3rd degree and anyone worth their grain of salt knows you don't rely on unfounded sources".

Yet in the very same post he writes: "I got Tedesco resigining and im pretty sure about,,, just a gut instinct!!!"

And in another post: "… Tedesco will be staying for sure...it's a no brainer!!"

Magnificent stuff.

Where's the irony, self righteousness or inconsistency? in one post your concocting a ridiculus far fetched story with unfounded proof and in the other im stating that it is a no brainer and a gut instinct of mine that Tedesco would stay. A gut instinct is a feeling, i'm not saying it's a fact, but if you do the maths I can't see why he would want to leave the tigers, it doesn't add up. Stick to the story and stop sidetracking!!

 

[Simmo]

I'm not saying i'm right but my understanding is that the Balmain Leagues club is in financial trouble and having difficulties with their funding for the team in which the NRL has stepped in and guaranteed all player payments. Are you saying that the NRL has not honoured this agreement? if it's a 3rd party deal it hasn't anything to do with the Tigers…think craig wing or mark gasnier, it's not like that type of thing doesn't happen anywhere else!!

 

[innsaneink]

Do the maths???

Its not just the BLC redevelopment.

Its the training base uncertainty, the WestConnex will likely see us go from outdated facilities at Concord to ??????

Until then, we continue to use old gym equipment, GPS scientific data is outdated compared to other clubs, medical treatment isnt on a par….the facilities are cramped

The budget yet again is thrown into disarray - we withdrawn the anniversary jersey due to a cock up in production - less $$$$ in the bank here

The board is in disarray...the NRL lifeline is now up in the air due to the BLC developments currently

The coach is on peanuts, two poor weeks in a row and hes on the chopping block...thats just a couple of issues that make the prospect of going to a club with more stability probably appealing to Teddy.

He goes to a new club, he loses his mates - he wont be with them every day - thats all he loses, and a few fans he has now

 

[stevetiger]

How many players have left us that we wanted to keep ? I don't think that there have been any players in that category.

 

[Simmo]

still…if you got training facilities and gps trackers in one hand and in the other hand you got ya local team and mates and the ability to play on an exciting football team, i'm going for the 2nd option every day of the week so long as my contract is paid. I mean it's not like there using stones and bricks for weight lifting are they?!

[supercoach]

Certainly not the perfect environment for the club to be in when they are trying to re sign the likes of Teddy, Sirro and Nofo and of course only two weeks into their 2014 campaign. If the NRL pull their prop up loan we are in all sorts, although I would imagine that is unlikely to happen in the near future as they have a contract to supply x amount of games a week.

We need a private partner to sure up our finances, but I am not sure too many people would invest in a football team at present. Lets hope we can convince the likes of Teddy that the club will survive and their are good times around the corner

 

[Juro]

Given that:
1\. we have had a good recent record of retaining key players,
2\. Mayer has stated Tedesco is a priority to resign,
3\. Tedesco has stated he wants to stay,
4\. we should have some room under the cap,

I am confident that he will stay. May happen, may not. But sitting on the outside with no direct involvement in the decision making process, all I can have is faith.

 

[innsaneink]

Well Simmo…thats you.

I can see why he possibly would take a better offer

Anyway, lets hope he stays

 

[alex]

In order of priority:

1\. Teddy
2\. Nofa
3\. Siro

Don't re-sign Anasta, Thompson, Lulia and Koro who are all off contract.

I can see us losing at least one or two of our depth forwards too - Sue, Ava, BMM, Buchanan

 

[southerntiger]

Unless he gets a super offer, I am confident he will stay.

But I would like him locked up sooner rather than later.

 

[Irvine]

The Wests Tigers have no money and training facilities are well below that of the bulldogs.

Look at the Bulldogs
- Superior training facilities and Belmore would be closer than Concord in travel from Camden.
- Quality players and no hope for the best Tigers type of recruitment
- Have more money and more members..third party agreements guaranteed.
- Premiership winning coach
- Top 8 team every year.

What are we offering ?
They must be confusing Tedesco with Moltzen banking on him not being able to make new friends at Canterbury.

Then we have Mayer saying he is doing his best but Mayer saying he is doing his best and Mayer actually doing his best are two different things.

Exactly, that info is not released, so how do you know this? How do u know what you're saying is fact?

Come on Irvine … why wouldn't he do his best? Mayer knows better than anyone on this forum what the club's financial position is, and therefore how much we can afford to offer a player like Tedesco, keeping in mind we still have other players coming off contract as well. He will put the best offer forward that he can given the club's financial circumstances. Hopefully it will be enough. If not, then unfortunately Teddy will leave. That's it. We are not the most financial of clubs and the reality is we probably can't match clubs like the Roosters, Souths and the Dogs. And as a result we will probably lose some players we would love to keep. So if people on this forum can't accept that, then go follow one of those teams mentioned above!

My mistake I thought we had the same salary cap as other clubs, I didn't realise we couldn't spend it all.

I don't know if we can. Do you? We couldn't in the earlier days of Sheens' tenure. Maybe we can't now.

You'll just have to trust me If you don't that's fine

That's all I can say

Lulia has a 2 year deal,also the NRL gave the loan with 2 years to pay back,that would be around february 2016.
Balmain will really struggle to pay there end,but they have 2 years to find a way,so 2 years are financially guaranteed for the weststigers.
