Tigers rumoured to sign Dragons Luciano Leilua

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

@Kazoo-Kid huge ceiling and upside and I don't believe we have parted with a lot $$ if it doesn't work out. Dragons are now in a rush to sign Capewell. So happy we steered clear of him!!

ahaha now that you say that all I'm thinking about is him having a breakout year then we have another Matto on our hands.

@Kazoo-Kid hey it wouldn't surprise me with the lack of loyalty in the game these days... Kid is a future star, a lot of bitter dragons supporters today!!

 

[WT2K]

@TJ21 hopefully we can make it 2/2 and take Lomax off them. Just to add some extra bitterness.

 

[TJ21]

@WT2K that would be brilliant!!

 

[TJ21]

@WT2K and then 3/3 with Frizzell for 2021

 

[WswWt]

Luciano to take Mattersons block off

 

[Roar_Power]

@TJ21 Same dollars as McQueen is on I think - $400k pa over 3 years. Hopefully McQueen has taken that ESL offer. Maybe a direct swap out.

 

[TJ21]

@Roar_Power hopefully McQueen takes it. Geez we have a lot of dead wood don't we!!

 

[Roar_Power]

@TJ21 Sure do. Exciting though - I mean a lot will be gone at the end of next season and then we are only carrying Grub and Packer until the end of 2021 which frees up another $1.7-1.8m?? Basically the roster will be completely overhauled over the next 2 seasons. Will be a vastly different line up in 2021 and 2022.

 

[TJ21]

@Roar_Power I'm excited mate, I stated in a post earlier that I am loving the direction the club is heading, especially with the powers that be mate, it's great and exciting

Who is the ESL offer from...?

 

[Roar_Power]

@Geo I dont think an article has ever expanded on this, just that there was a multi year deal on the table he was considering. Mightn't even be true. Who knows.

Just checking on this one, are you saying LL was signed for $400k per season?
Seems a lot
I’m guessing Garner is probably lifting to $300k on his new deal, surely LL wouldn’t be on any more than that, I’d think he’d be cheaper than Garner

 

[Roar_Power]

@Curly_Tiger they were the numbers I saw in an article yesterday but can't seem to locate it now. It was $1.2m over 3 years. I wouldn't think its a bad figure if he is starting in the second row.

I think Lucy is worth that sort of money myself, runs a good line (only thing Garner does), breaks the line, offloads and can ball play.

He would do me if you can believe unofficial reports.

Big Sports Breakfast mentioned this morning that the LL signing is NOT done deal Yet but looking good sounds like another premature speculation from someone on the inside at WT's

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Thanks @Roar_Power just saw it in the DT yesterday. Seems a lot, would likely see him as one of our best paid players behind Mbye, Brooks, JRey, Packer & Nofo at this stage
He averages 41 mins per game so it's not brilliant value compared to Matto, but I guess we know how that one ended

 

[Snake]

Big body fairly mobile and has ball skills what’s not to like ! come on down ....

 

[The-moP]

@Snake .. Apparently he realised he had to trim done a little and get fiter so he could get more game time. He's trimmed down from 116kgs to 108kgs .. but still a big body.

Lots of upside to Lucky Luciano
