All Ive read here during this saga is how N Cleary was NEVER going to sign with the Tigers. All that has ACTUALLY happened is Panthers have sacked Hook.
So explain to me why N Cleary hasnt signed with Panthers before now then if he loves it there so much. Why does he want to push it out past the nov deadline to test the market. Surely if the Tigers are as shit as you are all saying and he is sure he doesnt want to go to the Tigers it would be simple. Or maybe there are more than two teams that could use a SOO half and a good coach?
Then explain to me how the Tigers are in any different position to two weeks ago.
There are not that many on here who have been bad mouthing the tigers as shit.
Most of us just think we have an advantage for his signature because he has played and thrived with most of this team for basically his whole career.
Unlike coaches he cannot receive offers from other clubs until November.
Even if he is 100% staying it would be absolutely stupid for him to negotiate without fielding offers.
The Tigers will certainly offer him some dollars as will roosters, Brisbane and just about everyone.
Roosters and Brisbane seem to have a much bigger salary cap than everyone else so we certainly could loose him, personally I think he is worth big $$$ but lots on here don’t want to break the bank to keep him.
