Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hopefully Stef remembers we identified his talent long before anyone else did.

Plucked him from the obscurity of eels Reggie’s and they punished him for a year.

They denied multiple requests from him for an early release.

He won’t be going back there I’d say.

He should stay and enjoy the revival, especially next years spine.

Plus he’s popular with us ugly lot!

Money and opportunity will talk.
 
I don’t think Lomax would have passed the team first test. Not sure he would fit in here. Took us a long time to remove a negative influence on the team so we definitely don’t need another. Good player but would cause more harm than good on team morale. It will end in tears at Parra, too many “me first” players

6 games in 4 seasons and he'll come here to play off the bench rather than somewhere else to be in the run-on side - why would he do that if his aim is to be a consistent first grader ?

Klemmer signed a 3 year deal and is in his second. If he comes next year, playing off the bench for a year as understudy won't be a big deal. Stef may leave also.

I doubt Tigers exercise their end of the mutual option with Klemmer for a 4th year, so either way, we'll need at least one starting prop for 2026 season.

A mutual option can be activated by either the club or the player. Does not have to be both, Klemmer could activate his option for 4th year and the club would be powerless to stop him.

Panthers probably looking to combine the Cleary brothers over the next few seasons in the halves.
 
Trey Mooney would be a brilliant addition, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. the Dogs are in dire need of a starting front rower that can play long minutes and they will be front of the queue. I'd say he's short odds to end up there.

I don't think the dogs are going to be in a position to be doling out too many more big contracts for a while.

They still need a halfback and have Fox, Burton, Kikau, Crichton, Mahoney all on decent money, with upgrades on the likes of Preston and Kiraz in recent times, alongside likely mid-tier contracts of players like Curran, Mann, Oloapu, Salmon, Taaffe and Tracey.

I doubt they'll have another 750-900k for a prop.

But I may be wrong.

**EDIT**

I just realised this post was about Mooney and not Stefano.

I'm a peanut. Sorry all.

I don't think Trey Mooney will get 800k a season!

Trey Mooney would be a huge get if it's true we are after him. He'd be an instant upgrade on Seyfarth on the bench & then would contend to replace Klemmer as a starter when his contract runs out.

No one is going to sign Mooney on anything over $400k & it’s more likely to be even lower

I don't think that's quite right Frodo. Otherwise you would call it a player option or club option. A mutual option would indicate bot parties need to agree.

Schiller has strong family ties in the Hunter region. It was only every a choice between staying put or going to the Knights.

With Schiller going to Newcastle apparently to play centre, I would love us to make a play for Dane Gagai on a 2 year deal. Gagai & Olam as our centres mentoring Makasini, Luke Laulilii, Saukuru, Feledy as our next gen coming through. Yes he's getting on but he plays more like a 30yo than a 33yo. Though Roosters are keen so he'd probably go for the sambrero.
