Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Was at Wests before Parra....

Matterson played his junior rugby league for the Wentworthville Magpies and Bankstown Bulls, before being signed by the Parramatta Eels.

He said in bloke on the bar.

Dogs (lower grades) > Parra (Lower grades) > Roosters > Tigers > Parra

Williams would be cheaper you’d reckon
Say he’s $750k and Moses is $1m what would you do?
They’re both 28 by the way and both kick goals, not sure %
I’d go the value option in Williams
Moses I’d be happy with but I just don’t think he’s an every week gun which I feel you need to be for a million

$1.4m is the figure for Moses (apparently)

Per year!?

 

[WT2K]

Per year!?

Yes, per year

Zero tackle saying Bateman has his house for sale, and heading for the Tigers'.

The way i see it ,is the club is waiting for Moses decision, and if not succesfull will go for Williams'., who i think they will get. If they get Moses for 2024 ,which is possible now with the club showing a far better roster, they will stick fats on the current halves, with Smith as cover. That will end recruitment , unless Moses signs for 24, which still leaves a spot open for 2023.

I don’t think that represents any value, we pay that to Api & iPap combined don’t we?

 

[Tommy_the_Tiger]

I'd find very hard to believe that we're offering 1.4 and the dogs have offered more

Is there a planned salary cap increase which would make this figure seem less absurd?

 

[jrtiger]

it will be one of Williams and Moses, not both. the two of them are both genuine halfbacks and would stifle one another. need variety in your halves pairing.

Brooks and Moses would be pretty good to be fair. we were wrong to blood them both around the same time and it was probably Brooks that needed to be in reggies longer, but that’s over now. the two of them would be dynamite together from the years they spent at Holy Cross and the early years at the tigers and then reuniting.

Herbie Farnworth is off contract after 2023, I think he’s one of the best centres around, had a great World Cup
I’d love to see us make a big run at signing him for 2024

Will only come to play fullback.....

 

[diedpretty]

Didn't Matto share that he played for the Magpies at some sort of junior level?

With salary cap increase top tier players will all be asking for 1 mil or more ,. DCE signed years ago for over a mil. It's a fact of life today, Williams is not top tier, Moses is.

The WEST'S TIGER'S hey lol, more excitement in the off season instead of during footy season bwahahahaaaaa

I'd say that figure is the Bulldogs offer. (as they're ahead)

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Both and let Brooks Go

if you want Moses then condition will likely be Brooks is here in 2024

I was in a magpies training squad with Ryan matterson

Moses behind our pack, it is better than the parramatta pack of 2022, he will kill it.
At 6 Brooks is a better option or at least equal to Dylan Brown
They will prove a very formidable partnership in 2024 Moses 7 Brooks 6

 

[tiger_scott]

If Williams is 750K and Moses is 1.4M, I'd be saving the 650K. That's another very good 2RF, when you upgrade from minimum wage 120K -> 770K.

(edit) If we can only have one

It is strange to feel this prevailing optimism, this cannot be the WT forum, for sure!

Wait until the season starts. Things will go back to normal then.

He is a good player, but i think the Tigers are intent on getting the halves settled first. - Top priority. Their are hundreds of fast and talented kid playing NRL, and we have a few of them. Each year the comp has a new bunch of young superstars. It's better to wait and see what eventuates , so as not to blow out our salary cap for 2024.
