Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XX

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep. Was probably holding out for more but realised his value was just going to plummet throughout the year.

There's a lesson in this for sea eagles everywhere - if you play your cards right, you too can become an albatross.

"Parramatta are a rich club and do well with third parties.?

Since when?

BA said on MMM that no contract has been signed, Toovey said he spoke to Foran today and nothing was mentioned and was under he impression that Foran would tell hm first before the media.
I'm have a bad feeling that certain factions from the club may have leaked this trying to see if they could cause the deal to fall over making the current board look bad heading into the election.

As good a player as Foran is...

Foran for $1.2 million a year, or Norman for $300,000?

Tbh I think we'd be better off long-term with the latter...

Or certain factions might have leaked it to make themselves look good in the lead up to the election.

Or maybe this kind of political speculation is stupid and self-serving.

I'd say Norman is on a bit more than $300k. But anyway why not both? Having a 'cheap' half like Norman allows us to pay overs for the supposedly necessary superstar.

Me too. Even Sandow for 600K or so...we shoulda re-signed him by now.

He probably is.

You're right about having both, but I think we would be better served with Sandow partnering Foran.

I suppose Norman could always move to fullback.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Because Sandow knows he'll get more by holding out and playing well. He could get a lot more than $600k from a desperate club.

Problem is Foran's no superstar.

How about some good forwards and outside backs and some so-so halves?

It's like we won the lottery with Hayne leaving and we immediately plonked it all on a horse.

Yup. With no disrespect to Jarryd, but he was taking up a lot of cap space.

Since when?

Since guys like Bill Moss are involved with the club.

I don't think Sandow's holding out for more money. He's already stated his desire to stay. If anyone is holding out it's the club.

I was told that Moss was very important in securing Choc's signature due to his influence.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Or we could let Norman go? Norman isn't a fullback, I'd much rather have Hoppa, a fullback, play fullback.

 

[IFR33K]

If we have indeed signed Foran, interesting to see who Misses out. Sandow or hoppa.

If sandow is retained Norman goes to fullback. Will probably come down to $$$ and who we retain without bustling the cap.
