Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVI

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

And why would Tanginoa be on more coin then Terepo? Terepo was quite impressive last year.

Tanginoa was re-signed / extended (whatever) at a time when there was a lot of (well deserved) hype about him. To me, he has always had the more significant chance of becoming a rep level player.

I'm not saying I want to get rid of him. I'm saying that if the story is true then I could understand why it might be Kelepi. Partic if he has been getting restless playing NYC.

Any clubs chasing Luke Kelly?
And what about Justin Hunt? Would he be on much? What a waste of cash.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

You'd think it would be Tanginoa before Terepo on the release list given who is getting first grade opportunities this year.

Kelepi has been injured for most of the year

 

[natheel]

It wouldn't be Tanginoa. He hasn't even had a chance to prove himself.
Id say Peni Terepo or Mossop.

We would be cutting MoiMoi , Allgood & another prop.Does that leave us a little thin?

The fact Tanginoa is fit and not getting NRL experience is telling though. Maybe he isn't impressing off the field?

 

[Noise]

It better not be Kelepi. Haven't we just had an article showing we are paying 750k to players at other clubs? Why would we pay some more to another club to have one of our best young forwards play against us?

Doubt he is getting restless playing 20's when he has been injured. Probably would be playing in front of moeroa if he wasn't injured

He played 8 games last year before getting injured.There was a lot of talk but wasn't enough time to make impression.
This year he was un fit for first grade so dropped in rnd 4..Went back to Under 20's.Forced his way back into first grade maybe 7 games later and been re-injured.Not sure Kelepi or club would see this as being fed up with the situation.
If he stayed fit he would be in first grade now before Terepo and Allgood.

He has been injured

Kelepi is injured mate.

 

[Forty20]

otos it says jelepi

So that means it is not him then

It is worth mentioning that the author of said post on nospam07 has regularly contributed signing posts that have always been well off the mark. I'm not trying to tarnish all the posters over there by any means (hell, I'm a regular) but this particular contributor has no runs on the board.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Is that Joseph and Kelepi's love child?

Nah, jelepi is just ths Spanish pronunciation

I'm don't think Kelepi would be on much. Obviously extended last year as mentioned although still in NYC cap this year which wouldn't have him on more than 20-25k. Can't see the next year as being a massive leap. Guessing minimum or 100-120k. With his potential hardly worth releasing at this point.

Kelepi is part of our top 25. Just because he has been playing under 20s does not mean he is part of their cap. So his minimum wage this year would be at least 70 or 80k. I'd suggest more

 

[Twizzle]

my money would be on Sef, we know he is leaving anyway

 

[Y2Eel]

Just saying if it was Kelepi or Terepo they would already be signed up by another club..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You started it. You used to be a pretty good poster but now you've just become boring.

Apparently there were heaps of good posters before I turned up.

Tanginoa signed for three years when he turned 18. He couldn't be on much. Terepo signed his current extension last year while playing first grade.

Not if we're negotiating the amount. If we're releasing players it's to free up room. Therefore we want the gaining club to pay as much as possible.

Really? The club announced the re-signing of Tanginoa, Terepo and Kaysa on 5 July 2013. All three had played FG last year.
