Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Jane Murray]

I know. It all adds up.
RCG and Blake and a small amount for Hetherington.

Which is stupid, considering Hetherington, and RCG, demanded, and was granted, a release.

Hetherington didn't demand. It just happened because he was ready and we didn't have space for him.

I don't understand how they ended up chipping in for Hetherington and Mansour. Surely someone would've taken them.

Hetherington is on a "healthy" contract. One of Gould's deals.
No club was willing to pick up the full tab.
I wouldn't either.
We need to grease the wheels to get rid of Mansour. Not including what we have already paid in salary.
He has options but no club wants to pay the full amount. Not many clubs have a spare $300 - $500k left to throw at a 30 year old winger this time in the pre season.

Firstly hows the health, hope your feeling better, on Mansour paying 1 year is not so bad, I assume Hethro is 1 year as well

Corey Allen officially to dogs so they'd have to be filling the cap soon. also allows Sauce to Souths.

Thanks.
I felt woeful early last week. Had a lot of pain in the middle of the night. I think I tossed and rolled on my wound the wrong way in my sleep. I picked up closer to the weekend. Just trying to balance exercise and getting the right amount of rest in between.


Yes, just paying for this year.

ah ok that make sense. We all kind of didn't want to believe the big figures thrown around for Hetherington I think.

Fun. Tigers will have some cap next year as well.

 

[Abacus]

Is it more disrespectful to be truthful or just drop him come round 1?

If the club had not made the comment re Staines, then assuming Mansour finds a club for 2022 before Round 1, the club wouldn't need to make the call.

The way things happen these days, the new club would push for an early release, Panthers grant it, Mansour is elsewhere in 2021 & the same outcome is achieved in a more professional manner, with no disrespect to Josh.

Anyway, 1 to learn from for the decision makers.

Why would Mansour be looking for a new club if they didnt tell him he would not be in the top 17? Or do you mean just leave Staines name out of it?

Like Westy I am not sure how we ended paying for Heathro. Sauce I can understand especially once we started upgrading guys for next year and the fact that he is possibly on 500k. But if it is only for 2021 then it isnt so bad, its 2022 when things really start to look difficult with Fish and Kikau off contract plus a few more.

Scott sorrenson now officially signed good interview on twitter.Very humble and gratefull to be given a chance.this is what we need .He will fit in well

Hetherington was on overs for what he gave. I can see the want to get rid of him

Exactly what you want in your depth players

Poorly worded on my part. My sentiment still stands with regards to RCG.

RCG for whatever reason was clearly unhappy here. Shame I liked him when he was in that period he made origin.

 

[Hooked]

Yes, it is out now. Souths.
Looking at Nofa, but his price is too high.
A few minor things to touch up but Mansour will be gone to Souths, Unfortunately we will be chipping in.
4 players on this year’s cap we will be paying to play elsewhere.

Thanks mate. I hope you feel better.

Might get them off the bottom for a year or two but I'm betting they'll be back there before long.

If Paul Kent can be believed Ivan Cleary didn't understand him. But then again Hook didn't either. But Brad Arthur does.

Funny thing, I'm not in the paid workforce these days but when I was the only understanding I received from my superiors was money deposited into my bank account every fortnight. It was I who had to understand them.
