Pete Badel just reported this:
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.
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.
