WT Player Retention/Recruitment/Loss List

[Milky]

Tedesco gonee

Yes Milky he has and WT will survive and prosper with the extra cap space available that he leaves behind.

Meh, we would have been better off keeping him but what can we do

I would have like to have kept him as well but the reality is we had no chance. So let's make the most of it and spend his legacy wisely.

Dam. So Manly aren't paying anything for him?

They'd be paying, I just mean we'd be paying also as he was on our books for this year and next. Unless they agreed to pay the full 500k

Thats a big unless. In other words your just assuming that because he was released from a contract we are paying something. Doesn't work that way.

It could very easily have been "we will keep him but are happy to release him if you take full value".

People need to stop making these assumptions.

Paying part this year…not in 2018...

CEO Pascoe is on record stating 2018 Wests Tigers will not be paying ANY players to play with other Clubs...unless that is a Fib...

Looking at what we are doing in the player market now, it just seems so crazy that 1-1.2 million was going towards another teams salary cap. I can understand 200-300k if you really wanted to get rid of a few players, but the Tigers were taking the pi-55 so to speak.

Hopefully we'll see quality signings every year from now on. A bit concerned we offered Reynolds 4 years on that money though. Hopefully he'll do plenty for our culture.

Are you sure? I thought end 2017 was it.

Pascoe said that 2018 will be the first time that we are not paying anyone to play for another club.
We might have paid part of Siro's contract this year but not next year we don't know what agreement the clubs came up with.

Siro on 500 17' and 18'

So they would have frontloaded his contract.

650 first year, 350 second year?

Tigs pay 250 of the first year so really hes on 400k on manly books.

Watson is old news and the Roosters won't let him go.

 

[airbus]

Still need to recruit a fullback, centre and another prop and backrower for the starting 13

 

[kh_canada]

Lolohea at fullback over Hopoate thats for sure.

 

[Milky]

Been updated to include Russell Packer (2021).

 

[earl]

I think our pack for next year is okay now. We need some backs now.

 

[swag_tiger]

Probably won't have the money for Hopoate now.

We should go for Jet and Johnston.

Johnston is a rubbish fullback i reckon…Jet (James Roberts?), I think the same goes.

Having bought so many experienced players...Reynolds, McQueen, Packer, Matulino...I think we are now able to throw some youth in there. I would be heavily inquiring about Dylan Edwards from Penrith, signing him as our long term fullback.

He has better creativity than Tedesco does, he is a strong kick returner too. I'm not sure about his positional play though, haven't seen much of it.

Edwards and a NYC Winger/ Center would work for me
