Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Fangs]

Don't know the number but chickenfeed comes to mind.

I remember him signing on, I was so impressed. Whare was a star in the making. Loved his work at Manly and I couldn't believe a player like that would leave Manly to play here.

That is the figure I heard

Mansour? Or Whare.

We know sauce took unders. He had bigger offers.

2012/2013 was an exciting time for Panthers fans. Lean results on field but there was so much happening with signings and alike. You felt we were on the right track and you could sense things were building.

That needs to be restored in 2020. Like for Fangs if you agree!

I'm still waiting for your campaign for prime minister.

All in on the fox please Panthers.

Souths may not have as much $$$ as they initially thought because Burgess cap relief won’t come quickly and they are also favourites to get arrow.

I like the sound of Melbourne falling apart

 

[herbert henry1908]

Any reliable number on what Whare is on?

We know the length of his deal but I've never seen the yearly figure.

I like him, even if he was depth are we paying overs? I don't think he is the worst centre going around. And geez he has a lot of experience. Mansour looks like the one to chop if push comes to shove, his figure would be around 350k I believe.

All the talk at the time Whare signed his deal was he got less money because of the length of the deal. Pure guess but I’d say around 300-350k

Melbourne seems to be giving off a bit of a trouble in camp type of vibe.
Lots of potential player movement is not like them.
Croft, chambers, drinkwater, possibly Scott and fox.

The rumors among fans that I've heard is Smith staying in and causing issues but it could be total nonsense.

Melbourne need to get rid of players if they want to keep Papanhauzen, Hughes, Smith, Grant, Fa'asuamaleaui, and any other young guns they've got, I'd assume they're just making room for their next gen of stars, instead of losing them.

 

[Kilkenny]

What have you heard he’s on?

We had to lure him away from another club, and he was a SOO & Australian rep, has to be good coin.

When he signed with us it was a massive deal somewhere in the vicinity of 600K which at the time was huge money.

I agree. I like this squad better then last year. Have plenty of space in upcoming seasons to make changes as needed.

Whare. Heard $350k was overs back then average now with where the cap sits

I’d give him $300-$400k. That with a few other moves gives us enough for a decent roster move

Media had him on $750k a season. (4 years / $3 million. I think the higher figure seem more likely considering gains and losses in recent years.

No way he would get that much to re-sign though. He certainly wouldnt expect it when he was fearing the club would show him the door through the last off-season. Mez got the tap on the shoulder instead though.

 

[herbert henry1908]

When he signed with us it was a massive deal somewhere in the vicinity of 600K which at the time was huge money.

When he signed with us it was known the salary cap would be increasing massively. The latest TV deal was signed initially way back when Dave Smith was CEO, and he left the post in late 2015. It didn’t kick in until 2018 but that’s still 3 years of Tamou’s 4 year deal. All that is to say 600k isn’t as massive as it once was.

 

[martielang]

Call me crazy but surely you address the need for an outside back when you actually have space in your cap rather than praying for a late season offload or two? Maybe instead of signing 2 forwards?

But get JAC & all is forgiven Ivan.

 

[John Hamblin]

It would probably be hard to move Mansour on as well I think. I guess we could offer him in a swap deal with Melbourne, a change of scenery could do Mansour some good plus he’s the type of player that would probably thrive under Bellamy.

Josh has been very good in the past BUT his defence has always been average

 

[Crashtest]

No doubt Cleary has a huge say & influence, just pointing out that others likely have to sign off on the decisions. Which is a good thing I think.

I agree it’s a good thing. Most teams seam to have gone away from one person making all recruitment and contract decisions. The length and size of the RCG deal is a good example of why one person shouldn’t have total control, so that things like personal bias or effection for junior players can’t play a part in making total irrational decisions.

Father son holy ghost baby! All hail Dave's Mate.

Again if Walker signs problem solved
