Rumours and Stuff

72k plus match payments. For this season anyway.

So if we drop him to reserve grade we can save on the match payments? Get it done Bernie!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He knows the word (and can spell) "cuisine". Must sign.

But he pronounces it with three syllables ffs!

Because Mennings is a better defender and would cost much less.

Last time they were both here mennings was on more. He’s also declining too.

So why do you think he wouldn't be on less next year?

That sounds more like a job for Max

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And for a team that already has two expensive outside backs and a glaring deficiency in the middle of our defence I don't see how we could get value out of Radradra.

It's gonna take a lot of not talking to him and telling him to get f**ked to get him at the right price.

Semi is great. But I reckon some fans are over rating him.
I just do not see the point of having too many good backs. They only get to touch the balls so many times.
Semi brings fans. Snd he would be a super signing but not worth 1 mill imo and isnt a Turbo Tom level. I rate Turbo as one of best in game

How much is Michael Jennings on this season? 800k? Offer 600k to Semi if he takes it cya Later Jennings...

What do you think we offered MJ for 2020? My guess is around 400k

Are you Kidding?

Semi better than Ponga.

There, I said it.

If we offered him 400k he would have signed in the ESL

No I dont think so. How much would he get there? 600k? The big pay days in UK are gone.
Plus he has a young family. Some people put that over money. Not everyone wants to pack bags and family up and move across to the other side of the world. Plus MJ would of been on great money since he was about 19. I doubt he is short of a mill or two.

Great example are the morris boys.

So we have an option for Jennings who wants 1 year at 400k(I highly f....ing doubt that but seeing as though most posters on here are on the fairy dust ill use that value) as he doesn't want to go to the ESL at 32........... or Semi who is 4 years younger and probably wants a 3-4 year deal at 600-700k?

Only reason I wouldn't want Semi is if he wanted any more than 700k

Yeah look how great they are going this season....(some how one of them got picked for NSW this year!!!!) Did you watch the Sharks last night...

A full Semi > a Ponga

 

[chiefy1]

Pau you bum. A wingers 4 main jobs are as follows, & Sivo scores a massive pass.
Scores tries A+
Hard hit ups A
Safe with kicks B
Tackle C-

Sivo just needs to clean up his defense which was ok until hoffman partnered him.

Semi does some things a lot better than Turbo (eg: hitting it up and getting the set started well, doing something to spark the team, finishing off a backline move, he is also a fine defensive winger can really force errors, he was developing a great off load).
Dont forget how massively we missed him last year. It cost us a whole year. He was the difference between top 4 and wooden spoon arguably.
Semi would also be a good islander role model (I think). He would easily be worth $1m. First year $800k, then $1m then $1.1m.

It will be very exciting.

If Semi comes back to Parra I'll eat Gary's golf hat.
