Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[BxTom]

He can't tell the difference between Tuesday and Thursday for one.

And he seems to like beating it...

 

[The yak]

Well we got the hooker we needed. The mongrel forward I think we need. The only one we missed was a good centre.
Hopefully one of the youngsters fills that breach.

 

[Coast panther]

The only way I'd believe we couldn't afford xerri in our cap for next year is if we're chasing JAC hard In the off chance he does leave early

There’s pretty solid evidence we don’t have much money left.

 

[Luke Bowden]

There’s pretty solid evidence we don’t have much money left.

Where is this evidence?

 

[unKwn]

probably means nothing

 

[betcats]

probably means nothing

Na that’s as good as confirmed in my mind

 

[herbert henry1908]

Where is this evidence?

Put everything we know together and it’s a compelling case.

1. There were reports we were over the cap for next year, hence why we moved Blake & DWZ

2. We know for certain we’re paying some of RCG & Blake’s deal

3. There were reports we had 600k spare before we signed Capewell & Tetevano

4. We’ve got at least two posters who get pretty good info from the club who have said no more signings unless someone leaves

5. We’ve got 29 players now under contract, this is the number all clubs take into the season



No one thing here is enough proof, but when you put it all together it seems very likely we don’t have much cap room left.

I'd take xerri over whare any day that would be the go sign xerri and let Dean go his too injury prone and 3 knee reco's means his best days are behind him.

Xerri like Mitchell will price himself out of the market

More convincing than James "I've got all the scoops" Hooper.

Other than having 29 players signed, the rest of that is speculation. The only people that actually know anything, would never say anything.

“Best guess is, we don’t have any money left in the cap for this season” is more accurate.

Going to get JAC on my jersey as we speak

I thought it was said on a podcast by a board member about paying a few players?

Just because some of that is speculation doesn’t mean it should be dismissed. You have the information coming from various sources, not just one.

Seems pretty compelling to me at least.

And the people that know things definitely speak, haven’t you noticed how much the panthers leaks? We knew Tetevano was being signed over a week ago. One of the board members is related to the editor of the local paper for instance.

Im not sure, but you can take it to the bank that we are. Of course you could call it just speculation, but it’s obvious. We couldn’t have offloaded RCG’s contract unless we were prepared to pay some of it, some things don’t need evidence.

We will have money IF Tryonne May gets the flick

Not much. May would be on a minimal deal.

 

[Dave's mate]

Not much. May would be on a minimal deal.

I doubt that. He'd be on closer to double that I imagine (Which still isn't much)

 

[herbert henry1908]

I didn’t say the minimum, I said minimal.

Pure guess but I’d say 150-200k.
