Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Whino]

The Packer to Penrith rumour is still lingering. I don't like rumours that don't go away.
I am worried.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Disagree with Spencer. For the limited games he had, he looked the goods.

What exactly makes him worth paying overs for?

Spencer is a keeper, even at this stage he's better than Tetavano and Leota in my opinion

I want to keep him, but I don’t think he’s worth paying more for him than we have offered.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Spencer isn’t that good to worry about, Critter, Romey and Yeo are the ones worth fighting to keep. If Spencer gets a better deal, good luck to him.

Wow, couldn’t disagree more. He looks a gun prop, and props best years are typically from 21-25. He’s just coming into his prime.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Wow, couldn’t disagree more. He looks a gun prop, and props best years are typically from 21-25. He’s just coming into his prime.

So we should pay more money than he’s worth?

Agree with you on this one, he’s still a kid and already looks like a very good player, very quick for a forward and is strong as hell.

I like that we’re taking it easy by not giving him much game time at this point of his career, once he builds a solid foundation he could easily be one of the best forwards running around in a few years. I really hope we hold onto him.

 

[herbert henry1908]

So we should pay more money than he’s worth?

There’s always a certain price to pay for potential, so yeah I’d pay him a bit more than his current worth. It all depends on what the other offers are.

You say that like you don’t agree with me on other things

 

[Luke Bowden]

Of course, that’s kinda my point, he’s been made a competitive offer, taking into consideration his potential.

He wants to go and try an get a better deal.

Best of luck to him if he does, I personally don’t think he would be worth paying more than we have offered him.

 

[murraymob]

What about Spencer, and co?

Spencer is with the group as is

 

[franklin2323]

If we pay everyone on potential it is a sure way to slide down the ladder

 

[Jane Murray]

Spencer is with the group as is

I mean hopefully he re-signs.

 

[Jane Murray]

No one, apart from the club, Spencer, and his manager, knows what is being offered.

I’m confident that the club has offered as much as they think he’s worth. If they have tried to low ball him, we don’t deserve to have him.

I just hope the Russell Packer rumours are bull.

 

[Sime_11]

Spencer still in the potential at the moment but he’s tracking very nicely, still play fish leota and tetavano ahead of him, but it won’t be long before Spencer is one of our best props (fish will always have him covered tho)

How do we know the offer is competitive? As far as I can tell I haven’t seen an figures mentioned at all.

You’ve got to choose wisely. Some are worth taking a punt on potential, some are not. Someone as skilled as he is, at the age he is, I think it’s worth a punt on some extra money.

Fish and Yeo are bigs that should be on big coin. Then the halves speak for themselves. Crichton gives you the class out wide.

The rest need to be weighed up what they offer compared to what is out on the market.

Rumours had us at having $600k left. Then we got Tetevano and Capewell. So you need to weigh up across the squad. Like if we pay $600-$700k for Leinu ( which using Flegler as example he'd get). We risk losing Kikau. Are we better off? Or do we spend less to keep a deeper squad?

That is the tough balancing act

All 3 of those guys you mentioned can all be approached in 12 months time. Api and Kikau too... Paying too much on potential now risks losing them

Isn’t that what Blade said? Or am I thinking of someone else.
