Vaughan took a massive cut after getting punted by the dogs as did the bronco half he dropped 500k .but given it’s his last contract I think he will drop a little but not much

We're talking about giving up like 400K at least. I don't see how the NRL can allow it under the way they enforce these rules. Or have realistic expectations anyone would have such a massive amount of money up.

What tanked Vaughan's value in the eyes of clubs is he's f**ked up and got caught off the field multiple times. And he was on plently in the first place. So most clubs aren't willing clubs aren't willing to pay him huge amounts of money because it's a risk.

Tariq's different there's going to be clubs willing to pay close to his current deal. Or close compared to the meager money we can afford on recruits.

The core of the side is locked in. Just need a few fringe guys to come in and hopefully kick on like Capewell and Sorensen did

Interesting.

Report below has suggested that Edwards is on the Dolphins’ radar but is expected to re-sign with us.

Dolphins target Panthers premiership hero

The Panthers have a fight on their hands to keep premiership winning fullback Dylan Edwards from the new expansion franchise the Dolphins.

Brent Read reported on Triple M that the NRL’s newest franchise have their sights set on Edwards who is free to negotiate with rivals on November 1, as he comes off-contract in 2022.

“One of the guys on the Dolphins’ radar is Dylan Edwards,” Read said on Triple M.

“Dylan is one of those November 1 guys and he enters the last year of his deal on November 1.

“Penrith will sit down with him in the next couple of weeks and try and lock up a deal for Edwards.

“My expectation is that he will stay. I can’t see him wanting to go. He is very close to Nathan Cleary.

“He has a good relationship with that club and he has been an outstanding player for them this year.

“So as much as the Dolphins will have interest in Edwards my gut feel is that Penrith will knock a deal over pretty quickly with Edwards and they will look to get it done by November 1.

“I’m expecting Edwards to sign a long-term extension with Penrith reasonably soon.”

The 25-year-old has scored 21 tries in 80 games for the Panthers since his debut in 2016.

Not before training goes back. 1 or 2 players need to be shipped off which changes the squad needs

Which 1 or 2, also do you have any idea who is replacing Knowles, Catterick and Campbell in our Strength and Conditioning department

We don't have many guys on contract past next season so it limits the options. If both re-sign and Api then Staines won't be here.

As for the other question. No actual roles defined but Elford and Lee Hopkins I heard are coming into NRL

Just a twist it appears RCG at parra has told them he will not take up his option for 2023 looks like he after the money at the new club.this will be a problem for a few clubs that could work in our favour as we already have the core of our group signed up

Was it really confirmed how long we were subsidising the RCG contract at the Eels.

A good friend of mine suggests our obligations ended this season just finished while elsewhere it has been suggested we are paying for another season.

Read that RCG has turned down his player option for the 2023 season. I guess he is hoping for a chance with the Dolphins.
Will Smith has signed with the Titans.
