Tedesco at 500k over 4 seasons?


I hate the idea of overpaying for hype but that's way underpaying.


He's clearly worth more than 125k a season. Personally I doubt that's right.


But if it is the tigers have stuffed up big time.

No 500k per year. Even that I think is overs

800k per year this early in his career is crazy money and even the most loyal bloke would be an idiot not to take that money

i wonder how accurate that 800k figure is
i had heard the Raiders deal was 300k more than the tigers... but i suspect that is over the course of the deal, not per year, which would make our offer 100k more per year than the tigers

That article reads like a total beat-up. There's no list of all these uncontracted players, just a few names led by Mason and Houston who wouldn't have been priorities to re-sign anyway. The funny thing is there was another Telegraph article yesterday that had a quote from HSG saying that Bennett and the players are all contracted to the Knights and always have been.

Most of the guys we want to keep are signed up till at least the end of next year. Our big problem now is going to be attracting decent new signings from outside the club.

Well that's f*cking nuts then.

500k is overs and the raiders are throwing 800k per season at him?!

when you consider they were going to pay Milford 1 mill a season, they've done well



Why ? Milford's twice the talent Teddy is and ..... actually plays . I Won't even go into the fact that Tedesco on anything more than about a maximum of $400K is crazy money .

Losing Milford's going to be the equivalent of Canterbury letting JT slip through their fingers .

I'd take Tedesco over Milford at the Dogs. James has had his injury worries but the Dugan was similar not so long ago.

Plus.. Tedesco can tackle....

You suspect wrong

Not all of us have had the advantage of viewing the contract ourselves. Which you clearly have... Or maybe a club is disseminating information that is inaccurate so they can soften the blow of losing a potential star.

It's not like we didn't fight to keep milford, sometimes you just can't keep them.

The raiders could pay tedesco double the offer and still have room left under the cap so the whole 'paying overs' thing doesn't really apply.

Depends on how many players you'd like to sign over the next couple of seasons I guess . Paying overs when you're shit is inevitable but going ballistic is nuts . If there's any truth to the 800k tag then that's going ballistic .
