Former Panthers in the NRL

Corey Waddell is proving a big loss. Just a bad timed injury stopped him debuting last year

Doesn’t surprise me

Well given he has every player on $800k.. I doubt his figures

True. I guess there’s little doubt due to the fact that almost every single player that we’ve let go to rival clubs were still under contract to us.

The money that we would be contributing would easily add up to 1M+

Blake assuming was on $600k. Why would we be paying $200k of that for 5 years? I think we would of paid some but not that much for the whole deal

Buzz is just a good honest journalist. He'd never be the kind to hold a grudge. Nope. No axe to grind whatsoever.

None of them looked like great losses getting carved up by the Storm.

Must be some bad news coming out of Cronulla, so he needs to misdirect again!

I’d believe a mill over 4 years between Reggie and Waqa.

I can totally understand they may be circumstances in which a club would pay a portion of a players contract when they are looking to free up salary cap space. However, at most you may kick in for the first year, perhaps even the second year but not for three or four. In the case of RCG for example we would have been better of sucking it up and just keeping him as opposed to paying a quarter or worse still a third of his contract for the next four years. Cost benefit analysis it doesn’t make sense if we are that desperate that we pay a portion of his contract for the remaining four years may as well just keep him and hope he rediscovers his better form.

1 million a year equates to 250k a season. Divided between two players is $125k each a year. That is nothing and can easily be offset by getting a junior to deliver the same level of performance. If that's what it has cost, that is good business. The trouble is we don't really know.

Trent Merrin maybe coming back to the NRL.

There could be some carnage with Fifita, Dugan, Moylan, Ramien, Johnson etc. Could be fun.

Old mate Segeyaro suspended for failing a drugs test (performance enhancing).

2014 I rated him as a top tier hooker, especially from the bench. Was surprised he didn't get an origin call up.

This will probably be the final straw. Very disappointing career.
