Not gonna get too wound up but it’d make a lot of sense for Madge to be trying to lure McInnes to the club. They have history and Tigers are in need of a quality 9.Just saw Cam, Michael McGuire and a couple of other older overweight gents having breakfast in Maroubra together.

Yes and they do. Why do you think otherwise?Why do players have managers? I say that players should let their managers do all with regards to potential contract negotiations; isn't that part of the manager's job.
It goes both ways, clubs move players on all the time as well.He is a Dragons player at the moment and should show more respect for the jumper and the club.
If he leaves well so be it but please show some class in your dealings.
Gold!Maybe he was hungry.
McInnes will stay if Saints match his market price which is a pay rise of about 200k. Coincidently, Packer's contract of about 750k is up at the end of 2021 so the Tigers will have room to fit McInnes in under their cap.If Harry Grant is going back to Melbourne - the Tigers will have a major hole to plug in their spine (they have some more pain to come in 2021 as a result). Queue Cam McInnes (and/or possibly Brandon Smith) for 2022.
As discussed in other threads - our hands are unfortunately tied to Ben Hunt until end of 2023 - and why shouldn't they be? Regardless of who was pulling the strings (Mary & his jet ski, Millward and Co) the club ratified his signing and why shouldn't he take every cent of what he is entitled to? Even if we release him early and fit half the bill for his salary to go play at another club, there is no way he will get the same coin (even though I believe figures being thrown around for his current salary are being 'over-guesstimated').
If Sullivan shines through then Hunts remaining two years beyond 2021 will be at number 9 (with Corey Norman & Cam McInnes naturally moving on that enables an upgrade for Sullivan with some money left to spend elsewhere). Not sure if Clune is our best option to partner Sullivan in the halves, and what other options will consequently be available? 2021 will be the determining factor in this.
If not, then does Hunt partner Sullivan in halves - then how far does the Norman money stretch (along with contract expiry and release of others) to upgrade McInnes, Sullivan + also the likes of Ramsay (just as one example) + also upgrading/bolstering our forward stocks + also ensuring our depth in the halves and back five?
McInnes will stay if Saints match his market price which is a pay rise of about 200k. Coincidently, Packer's contract of about 850k is up at the end of 2021 so the Tigers will have room to fit McInnes in under their cap.
If McInnes stays at Saints and we promote Sullivan, some of the Norman salary cap will have to be used for McInnes and Sullivan. However, Saints would want to wait till a few rounds in next season to see how Hunt goes at 7. If he kills it, I'm sure they will sign McInnes and leave Hunt at 7.
100% agree. If I was one of about 12 NRL coaches and McInnes was off contract at the end of 2021.Not gonna get too wound up but it’d make a lot of sense for Madge to be trying to lure McInnes to the club. They have history and Tigers are in need of a quality 9.
Madge wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t making inquiries.
