Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVIII

LOL, yeah, then how come they knocked him back when the tiges deal fell through?

Not sure on the exact timing but the Titan's extreme cap problems were made public somewhere in that time frame. It is possible that they simply could not afford to have him back.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Why did the tigers not want him is the other question?

Taylor was assistant coach of the Roosters when Takairangi was playing there, we've all heard about how bad Taylor is at relationships with players so maybe they didn't like each other?

Cmon Pou your estimates are complete $hit...Wicks and Watmough I believe would be there abouts.
F'aasso is coming back from a broken neck.I doubt anyone would offer him anything bar MIN which is 85k.He at his best and fully fit would of been lucky to demand $200k...And same goes for Robinson MIN.
As far as Champion goes? he is an injury prone centre that at best is just above average.If he is on more than $150K id be very surprised.Which other club would want him? Same goes for takarangai.I watch NRL and honestly never heard a lot about him.
All these signings Bar watmough are MIN wage signings.Maybe with some incentives included.
300k would get you a lot better centre than takarangai mate.Unless im way out on what guys get paid now but watmough 500 and taka on 300? Big difference in class there

I have to disagree with your comment on Beau Champion. At his best he is way above average. The question is: will he regain his best form? Let's wait and see.

Yep, same reason he chased the Tigers money in the first place.

You merkins know the average salary next year is $262k don't you? If he's agreed to only one year then we know Takairangi's on overs.

So every Merkin is on 262k sweet...

Maybe no one else wanted him for next year couldnt get him in the cap we come along have a spare 200 give him a shot that or England...

Yes simple maths would have stated $1 (any other clubs offer)>$0(Titans offer)

You don't reckon some blokes are on less than that? It would mean some other blokes are on more.

Yeah maybe.

If he was only worth a dollar do you reckon we would have bothered to sign him? We would just give the opportunity to a kid.

Takairangi is here to be part of our top 17. He will be paid accordingly.

[Poupou Escobar]

He's on more than a dollar? I thought so.

 

[hindy111]

Who ever posts next on here is King of the Co$$ heads........ My moneys on Pou-He wont be able to resist to trap.....C'mon Pou you know you want tooo

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What's the question?

 

[lingard]

Ah! Beat me.

 

[yy_cheng]

Ah! Beat me.

do you prefer long strokes or short ones

 

[TheRam]

do you prefer long strokes or short ones

Slow ones.

 

[Harley Gorillason]

Wicks doesn't look to be in to bad a shape.

 

[emjaycee]

Of course he doesnt. He has had nothing to do but spend time in tue gym for 18 months.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I had a completely different idea in my head of what Danny Wicks looked like.....think I must have been thinking of Michael Wicks....who I guess retired about 25 years ago.

 

[Gronk]

I am sure that his body transformation has helped him get a contract. He wasn't exactly an elite player whilst at N'castle.

The lunatic with the moustache that swam across the bay to Jack Gibson's place one night to ask why he got sacked?
