Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[herbert henry1908]

Everyone crows about the salary cap making a close comp yet the top 4/prelim games are all prem winners from the last 5 years and Storm will be playing 3 GFs in a row and going dor back to back. The salary cap really isn't helping.

Compared to other leagues around the world we have a much more even comp, you’re never going to get real parity. There are simply clubs that a lot of guys would prefer to play for.

What’s everyone’s $$$ predictions?

I’m going to say it’ll be speculated as 4 years, $5m

My feeling is the actual contract will be a bit lower though.

I think there will be the max of tpa's in the salary which will bring it down a bit. To me that sounds like a fair amount.

At least a mil a season.

True.

They always do stuff with AFL teams. Go to NFL, EPL clubs for tours. Can you remember us ever doing anything like that?

You can’t seriously be suggesting that this is because of Gus’s ego?? That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve read on here.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Problem is Gus' ego... Never would admit to being wrong

Didn't Gus admit to be wrong about letting Ivan go. Didn't gus also go and bring staffs with him to see the Broncos set up when he first arrived ?

Didn't Gus admit to be wrong about letting Ivan go.

The closest he's come to this is saying that whether he was right or wrong, he believed he was right at the time.

Didn't gus also go and bring staffs with him to see the Broncos set up when he first arrived ?

He went and looked at the Broncos setup with a view to emulating it at Penrith when Griffin was Broncos head coach, I don't know who if anyone went with him though.

 

[Blues Riff]

I understand the press conference to announce Nathan Cleary's re-signing will be on Monday.

Good, hopefully this will be an opportunity to clear up some bullshit as well.

What bullshit? People let the media talk get to them way too much

Looked at Broncos wow. Hardly world class

Gus knows all afterall. Why would he need to go halfway around the world

Of course Gus can do no wrong your eyes. You must enjoy almost being good enough

 

[Blues Riff]

For a start, the perception that Nathan is holding the club and his team mates to ransom with his financial and other contractual demands.

Do you believe that?

 

[Blues Riff]

Do you believe that?

Not at all, but it puts the club in a bad light and I'm fkn sick of reading it.

No one has to read the dribble from Kent and Beetroot Head if they don't want to. I don't like Gus as a person or commentator but i respect that he knows this fact

Mate all I said was I hope Nathan clears up some of the BS. Why the f**k are you busting my nuts?

Gus has done plenty wrong in my eyes!

Your mental if you think his ego is stopping shit like this. He is all about spreading the game and getting the team into the media with interesting stories.

You don’t think Gus would love a story about the boys heading to NZ and training with the All Blacks???

Wake up to yourself. Gus is happy to let the coaching staff handle the coaching.

You’re unbelievable.

One thing Gus isn’t about is spreading the game. If he had his way it’d still be the NSWRL.

Maybe not but best in our game though.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Really, that’s why he’s been the driving force behind the expansion into the country, the Women’s comp and making all players available for rep duties.

He was frustrated when the all stars game was cancelled and has been very vocal in his support for the emergence of Tonga.

He has many faults, but this is not one.
