Fuccanne looks like the better deal at a reasonable price say no more than $500 k over 3years with 3rd year option in our favor woild suit me, but need top line centres

He wants $650k pa over 3+ years

Has Angus Crichton re-signed with the chooks?
I’d offer him that 700k before TPJ.

It is understood the Tigers were ready to table a two-and-a-half year deal for an immediate transfer, but Pangai Jnr’s asking price, said to be in excess of $700,000 a season, shapes as an impediment.

Also saying dragons could be keen on him

Brent Read saying he thinks we've gone cold on signing tpj.

Can listen here. It's the 6min version towards 4 min mark https://www.triplem.com.au/story/brent-read-s-huge-update-on-gareth-widdop-s-return-to-the-nrl-177466

We all know what will happen and we will miss out on both TPJ and Funicane because the decision makers at our rubble of a club cannot agree on something.. FFS someone needs to take charge and make a decision because our marquee signings will be Joey L and Packer extending their stay the way we are going.. Listening to that it sounds like we are low balling players and hoping they have no choice but to come here.

I am the first to throw the club under the bus but there’s no point paying $700k for TPJ. He’s not worth it.

Deal is as good done & speaking to someone with links to the Roosters at the Confraternity shield they have asked the Raiders for permission to negotiate with Tapine

I think that we go for Pangai then because of his age with the broncs contributing $$$$ to make it close to what Fuccane wants at his age.Fuccane great consistant forward but danger of injuries during his contract. Good luck Hardigan been great so far

 

[Wildcat777]

I reckon he is worth it. Angus is on a million if i remember correctly. And if we offered the $650 then we were not low balling that was probably what he was asking for at the time. Tbh i have no idea what players are actually getting paid and I am even more sure that no one does here either.

Leilua and Packer wont be here next year..

yes 700k is a little high but when you are a club like us we need to pay overs for the 1st one..

I'm just pissed we are continuing to only attract the bottom feeders.. Something has to be wrong at the top that needs fixing urgently.
Look at the Warrior for E.g. - Just in the last few months they have added Walsh, DWZ, Townsend, Lodge and I think a lot comes back to Gus Gould. I am hoping Sheens has some kind of pull as well.

As in he's coming here? What's the chance he gets a early release if so?

Paying overs for inconsistent players is not how you turn a club into being successful

Recruitment is better than it was 2-3 years ago. I don't care how we go as long as we aren't overpaying players.

That may or may not be true (I think recent singings have been pretty good), but @hsvjones said that the reason these guys arent coming is because "decision makers" cant make up their mind.

I'd like to know who he means and how he knows they cant make up their mind.

It was the POM that mentioned yesterday that there were some that wanted Funicane and some that didn't. Some that wanted TPJ and some didn't ...
Players and there management won't hang around while our Management mull over who they want. If another teams comes in and agrees to there terms we miss out.. Simple as that. I would stick up more for the club and recruitment team if we actually signed a quality player but the proof is in the puddling as they say.
I will also give credit where it is due and they have done an excellent job at buying younger talent and I have said that for the last 12 months.
