Flanno is resigning Gall for another 2 years, chew up the cap and 4th tackle hit ups

Interesting quote from Meninga in today’s paper.

“Holmes has cemented himself as one of the game’s best wingers in the rep arena but is only now starting to explode as one of the game’s best fullbacks.”

“He has proven to everyone that he can play fullback.”

“If you asked me a while ago I would’ve thought he was a better winger but now he can play equally as well in other positions which makes him valuable.”

Hey Meninga you forgot about now he can be a goal kicker for a team now too!!

Very valuable player Holmes!

Meninga had golden era coaching QLD, a drovers dog could have done that job, Australia could win without a coach, when Mal coached at club level what happened he was found out, and he has never returned to prove anyone wrong

Meninga must be recruiting for the Cowboys.

He always has an agenda.

this is a monumental f**k up.
how do we have cap issues when it was well reported how far under the cap we were?
this better be lip service otherwise I'll be livid considering all the other stories about a barba return earlier in the year.

 

[MilkShark]

You people give mal too much credit.

My goldfish could coach the Australian and qld team

 

[Card Shark]

He shouldn’t have been an immortal, there’s other more deserving players imo.

Considering the game has done nothing for him

I am hoping we dont have financial problems again, after all these years and the development, that better not be the case.

It is hard to understand cap issue if you consider we were under this year an going forward and what has happened in recruitment this year.

Signed
Josh Morris - would not be big $$ any more
Aaron Woods - On discount for initial couple of years to start

Re signed all these till 2020
Jayden Brailey - would be upgrade
Jack Williams - yes upgrade for sure
Sione Katoa - upgrade
Jayson Bukuya - on par with last contract

Losing

Trent Hodkinson - already gone was here in bargain amount
Edrick Lee - Going, Katoa's new deal would par Lee going i would guess if that
Ricky Leutele - Nice contract, i doubt paying Morris more to come here
Luke Lewis - He would have been on very good coin, Woods would eat some of that
Joseph Paulo - I would take it that Williams is taking that cap space
Jesse Ramien - would have been on smallish coin under last contract

Unsigned

Kurt Dillon - Bottom 25 money
James Segeyaro - we chased him to bring him to club so good coin
Paul Gallen - On big money for sure

There is no way we have chewed up cap should be plenty of space for buying the right players

who knows stake.
I bet woods recruitment isn't what we are being told.
bench recruitment for this year was a master stroke.
we better not have paid overs for morris.
gal would come with heavy concessions.

Gal comes with heavy concessions, but they would move over to Graham going forward as he has been at club i think 7 years, so again no hurt on cap.

Flanno loves keeping these veterans, we lose younger players beacuse of it, we are the only club to do that, basically everyone else moves on the older guys

 

[Don Tweddle]

Barba has 5 years left in him. Holmes will never light a candle to him.

I’d rather have Don Tweddle at fullback

Only if I get "fullback money".

We are paying Woods peanuts. For all 4 years.

 

[SharkShocked]

You blokes are mad, it's clearly an attempt to ensure 100% that Flanno is coming out looking like Holmes is his #1 option to ensure he retains him.

Nothing more - throw away line.

BB def coming home to the shire

Smoke ‘n’ mirrors...

I know its not the case. He wont be a Shark again.
