Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[balmain boy]

I hope you are right.
The only logical reason why we didn’t at least attempt to sign Zac Lomax has to be due to Salary Cap constraints, otherwise why are we doing nothing about strengthening up our weak backline when a big, strong, fast and skilful player who is also one of the best goal kickers in the competition becomes available?
Not to mention he’s previously mentioned he would be interested in playing for Wets Tigers the team he followed growing up.

I think while we're looking for a back we weren't going to look at 700k on an outside back.

 

[Demps]

Time to negotiate an upgrade with Stefano and identify some outside backs.

 

[Telltails]

I think they need to sort out what is happening with Richo before anymore signings happen.
Not sure what his demands are - did hear 3 years - but ATM he should be the priority focus.

Let’s see how Cleary copes when his best prop his Eiso. 😁

Don't rate Leota...

He has been their best forward in consecutive GFs

Looks like Panthers now have cap room to retain Turuva

Just read a Fox article saying they are chasing Utoikamano

Stefano needs to be a priority… but are they actually going after anyone new? Preferably now… but what about next year ? No point waiting until the end of the season

Probably already a done deal, would the Panthers just release Fisher-Harris without having a suitable replacement lined up ?

Doubt it’s a done deal ..he doesnt even get an “out“ from the Tigers if he gets picked for Origin ...

However … I would suggest it might be prudent for the Tigers to get him locked down now …no doubt this will mean throwing him some money

Panthers also play dirty which means he could be gone end of this season.

The clause in his contract was put in for a reason and it wasn’t because he had confidence in the direction we were heading.

Wasn’t the out related to finals?
He played SOO last year so having an out for that would be voided.

For him to stay at the Tigers ..one of these two things need to happen

One is Tigers making the 8 this year ..(Lol ..that ain’t happening )

He has to play another two origins this year ..( which is some hope)..

Who from the club allowed such dumb clauses in his deal …. One guess..😂

Like a lot of West Tiger supporters, I give up.

Over what? With all the failing of this club over the last 10 years I don't think anything that's happened lately is worth giving up over.

 

[Telltails]

Sort Richo out and we will have more chance of retaining Stef.

Can’t they multi task?

Business shouldnt stop because Richo and the club are haggling over his new deal ..: i assume he is still getting paid

Gonna be a heap of sides after Utoikamanu .....Roosters .....Dogs .....Storm .....Penrith

Big test for Benji’s new direction at the club.. I think this is one of those situations that needs to be resolved quickly … longer it goes on the bigger distraction this becomes for the club and Stef

So what people are saying is, if Stef plays 2 games of Origin this year Stef has an out?

So if Madge wants a bit of pay back, all he has to do is pick Stef for 2 of the Origin games this year regardless of what Stef's form is like at the time.

How does that saying go, "pay back is a [This word has been automatically removed]," or something like that.

Not sure what “people “ are saying …it’s in the SMH article that has the story about Penrith talking to him..

I mean .. how dumb is it? does he have to take the field in the game ? If he gets selected but pulls out through injury … does that count? 18th man ?

Richo is also in demand at Souths. It needs to be sorted.

I’m pretty sure the clause is if he gets picked for origin the get out clause is void. So Madge can snub him if he wants revenge.

I can’t imagine anyone inserting a clause that if you play origin you can get out of your contract.
