Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Iamback]

The clubs should just stand together and set the cap at 10.5. I'm a fan of Peter V'alandys but this shit is so unprofessional

It is shit, Next week there are 240 players finished for the year. Many of them have no idea where or if they will be playing next year.

Clubs like us would of loved to lock guys up before the finals, We can't as no cap

I wonder if they're purposely doing to assist Redcliffe...

Probably helps the Sydney teams, less likely to move kids interstate with less notice

Lomax and Staggs are both on $700k, That seems the fair price point.

You still have to offer fair market value just not overs

Both of those guys were signed by struggling clubs and they haven’t had success in a long time. There’s only one top club that has a $700k centre, that’s the Roosters with Manu. But he can play 5/8 and fullback and he’s a better centre.

I don't think Crichton has even proven he deserved more than the $500k he originally agreed to. He hasn't really improved much since his rookie season.

$600k would be more than generous. Between being surrounded by mates, part of a successful team and having an advantage for rep games.... i just dont see any other club blowing that out the water. If they did he can go IMO.

All he is to us is a right centre... And our right wingers tend to get f**k all scoring opportunities. Defensively he has been off lately too. I just expected a hell of a lot more than he has given us this year. He hasn't been horrible. But there has been absolutely no improvement in him this year.

He sure as f**k only played origin because he's a Panther

Also is older, Crichton is an Origin player, Backup fullback also, Won comps ticks most of the Manu boxes.

The Sharks whole back 5 is needing to get re-signed, off less achievements. Will add more to the list to compare to Ramien in particular will get close to that.

I fail to see a club that will have cap space to blow us out of the water anyway, So a redundant point anyway

But is he really an origin player?

I read on a Knights page on Facebook that Hayden Knowles has been given the flick off the back of the Klemmer incident. I’d be happy if he came back here.

Not sure it sends a good msg to keep going back to old staff

After thinking about it. I tend to agree. Like going back to an old flame.

Manager has gone public to apply the squeeze.
The rest of that article is speculative rubbish.

Expect a lot more of the usual DT gobshite starting from next week, right through to as far as certain teams make it in the finals.

He is good at his job but the way we welcomed Barrett back and even Ivan. Can't have the staff thinking they can chase cash and that we'll always take them back

I think Knowles family (wife and kids) live in Newey.

I agree. You can't continually go back to the past. Spud is doing a great job. Sorry Hayden but life has moved on from you.

The same paper had us retaining Crichton on $750k now their bullshit rich list has him at $625k.
Make it up as they go along.

And herein lies the click bait reasoning towards their website.

Fair. I think his reason for going was more to do with being close to family than cash though. But yeah, it’s kinda like banging an ex, usually not a good idea.

 

[Iamback]

But is he really an origin player?

He is 22. Over the next 10 years chances are he gets another shot

Which given no one is signing anywhere is all they have

 

[GongPanther]

Someone mentioned that TPJ is playing reserve grade this week; maybe the Dogs are willing to pitch in ALOT to move him on?

Maybe got him in cotton wool until next season if he is carrying any niggles.

 

[Munky]

TPJ was reported to not have a great attitude at the Broncs.

Could be a culture killer for a rebuilding club.
