Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Panther Mick]

You can't really say without him playing that position a few months.

I wouldn't do it but some clubs sign players on potential. Potential of talent or the chance to play a certain position.
Maybe part of negotiations happening right now from his management is the choice to play 5/8 at his current club or a new one?
Centres don't usually command a million dollars a season.

I wouldn't pay him a mil with the potential to play 5/8.
I wouldn't pay him a mil to play centre either.

I don't think it'd ever happen. Our signing policies seem to have changed since Gus left and big money risky signings like him are a thing of the past.

Funny that they are making up the number. No doubt tigers will make an offer but don't write a figure if you don't know. Hate journos.

"With money available for 2020, the Tigers could make Mitchell a $3.3 million plus offer over three seasons."



Won't happen. The club has had a clear shift in recruitment policy which seems to be against high money deals that Mitchell seems to want.



Don't think they care at this point. Everyone is struggling to keep up with the big 2 clubs and everyone will become more desperate as time goes by. Tigers for example haven't played finals since 2011. They don't have the luxury of caring anymore.

Nathan Cleary says thanks for his 5 year deal on ~$900k (plus?)...

The stars are aligning, Latrell to the Riff

And close the door on your way out!!

I agree with being disciplined with contracts etc. At the same tine the idea of him playing outside Kikau is mouth watering.

Even with all my concerns he could be a match made in heaven. I am so conflicted. Can you imagine the back line. But the high maintainance Phew.

One player who the club developed doesn't refute or confirm the signing policy. If anything it's pretty standard to over pay halfbacks at the moment.

Question for those in the we want Latrell camp.
A few stories this year has been his desire to play 5/8 in the future. Could be next year or could be in a few years time.
Would you pay him a Million to play 5/8 here?

No.

His main talent is in scoring his own try, he’d be more effective a little wider.

It’s not standard for a 20/21 yo to receive that type of deal. Yes, he played origin, but he also did very little on the stage, it was more a case of there being very little depth in the position.

Other halves that produce similar numbers are paid less than Cleary. Guys like Reynolds, Moses, Brooks.

Cleary got hype level money.

His best NRL performance(by a long way) has been in the 6. Id play him there over 1 or 4 if we signed him for a mil(rather not tho).

Which game?

I wouldn’t say no to trying him there, but he’d be less effective as a try scorer. That’s what we really need right now.

We don't sign player in the calibre of Latrell. Not until they are fat and past it.

Rumour time.

New Zealand prop Zane Tetevano has turned down a move to Super League to find a new club in the NRL.

Tetevano, 29, was linked with a move to Warrington, but the Daily Telegraph reports that he wants to keep his young family in Australia.

Sydney Roosters recently revealed they had no room on the cap for the prop for 2020, with the likes of Penrith, St George Illawarra, Wests Tigers and Gold Coast being linked with the Kiwi.

His stock will have increased following his performance for the Kiwis against Great Britain last week – while he has also previously played internationally for Cook Islands.

I think I got the games mixed up. There was a really good one followed by a terrible one. He did play well in round 1 or 2 V the storm at 6.

You can all breath easy (unless they’re foxing)

I never actually thought we were in the race tbh

Tetevano is not a very nice person, would rather find someone else, he is very lucky he didn't get Ben Barba'd cause he is far worse.

Well Nathan had hype AND was re-signed by Gus.

Which probably means that super duper want him. LOL. Like RCG is in our plans for 2020. DWZ will see out his contract.

Expect an announcement within 2 weeks.

Neither did I.
If we were it would only be to drive his price up to the eventual suitor.
