Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[WestyLife]

Sharks have heaps of money available in 2022. Looking increasingly unlikely we can keep him.

Being serious for a second I can't see the club offering less than $400k for him so that's being tied up until he decides(adding to your point earlier) same goes for the other clubs and whatever they're putting up as well.

Unfortunately I think you are right. Out of all the young blokes he was the one I wanted to hang on to the most.

I know it’s easy to say now, but I think we should’ve played him more this season. Shown him a bit more love. Cleary obviously had doubts over Naden at centre, would’ve really hurt to try Burton at centre for a couple of games?

 

[franklin2323]

Realistically how much would you pay for a guy while promising is yet to find a fulltime position?

$400k would be the most I would pay

For us, 400k

for another team I could see them going 550k-600k on a 2 or 3 year deal to minimise the impact if he fails.

 

[herbert henry1908]

If we had the cap space I’d offer him 550k to stay here, it’d be a bit of a risk, but he’s genuinely one of the most talented juniors I’ve seen.

If we weren't paying RCG and Blake I'd say easily $500k

Wouldn’t surprise me if we’re struggling to come up with 400k for him.

Other than the Broncos we are the only other club that develops players all the others just focus on recruitment and retention . We are already being pillaged by Barrett with more to follow . Penrith has already stated there will be a big downturn in money being spent on junior league and western regions due to covids financial effects. I expect lean years to follow success wise as well but understand we still have some exciting prospects in elite pathways but they can still be poached as they talent pool dries up .
So my question is to everyone with so many clubs unwilling to spend big money on grass roots football where will players come from ?
Looking at headlines this week it looks every club just want to cannabilis one another and the more i think about costs i can see a 10 to 12 team competion and less money from the broadcastors in the future .
Anyway lets just hopes kids wanna play for the Panthers in the future and we havent put too many eggs in the one basket .

According to the Telegraph we are looking at Marion Seve.

Would be a poor signing in my opinion. Did his ACL last season playing for Melbourne. Didn’t look that good before it happened. Would be better off giving that spot to a local junior.

Yeah I’d rather give that spot to Turuva, unless there’s 2 spots?

Our juniors aren't viable. Other clubs keep paying overs for them

We have 6 spots left. Depending on moving guys on early

That is the very reason that the NRL should help developing clubs.

Not one quote has been said from Matt, or his manager, yet people are up in arms about his, rumored move to the bulldogs. Some peoples reactions on here is bemusing.

No one is up in arms. Just discussing.

6 total, but I meant for the centres.

for centre we’ve currently got

Crichton
Naden
Burton
Jennings

if it stays like that then Turuva would be a better option.

 

[Jane Murray]

I disagree with that one. I am hopeful that Matt stays.

 

[Kilkenny]

I don't know what people expect. We have 6 rep players that means depth guys will go

We are in danger of losing our future, some of the guys we have already lost played in our top 17 during the course of this season.

I suggest most of us expected we would have effectively managed our roster & cap and perhaps had our future signed and sealed yet despite a large number of outgoings including some high earners we in a battle to retain three very important players essential to our on going success.

Maybe i was naive, but i thought we would have done better and not in the position we currently find ourselves in.

We lost Aekins and MWZ from the squad so depends on the balance.

Turuva is in Development squad. So that can give best of both ways
