WT Player Retention/Recruitment/Loss List

Would gamble really be top 30? I would doubt it unless he is part of that 6 development players or whatever.

dont forget robbies money and I think sirros too.

I don't think we are paying either of them in 2018 are we?

Not in 2018 but we are this year

From Milky's Off Contract list I reckon MM would be the only one I'd be concerned about signing. Edwards seems to be in favour with Ivan and is fairly strong defensively but not really what we need as a backrower so unless he's cheap and a depth only option I'm not fussed. As for Tim Grant - sorry but as much as he seems like a great bloke, I don't think he's an option at all. I like Kev a lot too, but his game seems to have gone backwards. Idris has a long way to go for me and I can't see him getting there. As for the rest IMO they are all B grade NRL players who wouldn't get a run in a WT top 20 - so why keep them? Lets clean them out and use the money to buy some players we need and would get value from.

We are paying Siro in 2018 cos he took up the 2018 option that was in his favour after he found out we were trying to move him on

You're right .. probably not Top 30\. Did JLJ get an extension?

Are you sure? I thought end 2017 was it.

I thought Idris was coming good as a defence centre. He was very solid in his last game. I'd offer both Idris and Edwards minimal contracts. You need Experience and if they are playing fairly well I'd sign them. Our ISC is currently for of rookies. They would benefit from experienced players coming in and out.
I wouldn't sign Grant. Think he's getting a bit old.
MattMcK is a must have.

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.

As if we let him go. Just leave him in reggies.

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...

You could be right but I just don't see how Manly would have agreed to pay the full 500k for Curtis Sironen. When they pay 700 for Taupau

That's good to hear.

 

[jadtiger]

We are still paying part of Sirros contract this year but not next.That was the agreement.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Am I the only one who wouldn't sign Grant if he was free? The second he gets on the field our go-forward comes to a rushing halt.

No, I wouldn't offer anything for him to stay, very ordinary. Not even as a bench player

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