Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Bred not Bought]

I don’t know how he will go coming home but I am keen to see him back. Always liked him.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

If Cogger moves one, Jayden Sullivan from the Dragons would be a good buy to slot into that role. Might even get him for a two year contract!!

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Something about the Api/Tigers contract extension seems off to me. He went to the Tiggers with a ‘2 year deal with a mutual option for the third’. If it was a true mutual option, going to the Tigers for one extra year than we were offering seemed weird. Now he has signed for another two years (having only played once in a few months due to injury) is weird. My guess is the four year deal was agreed, but the Tigers didn’t want the optics of signing another later career player on four years at huge money…

I read last week (tele) he was unhappy at the Tigers and his manager kept getting calls about him.
I reckon the Tigers quickly gave him a upgraded deal to keep him happy.
You would have to pay extras to stay there

Api's exploits at Origin time a few years back are well documented.

He needs all the cash he can get for the inevitable post playing career payout.

 

[Blade23]

Let's face it, Laurie always had the Panthers at heart, and his celebration, while contracted to the West Tigers, after the 2021 victory, proved that.

I also hope Cogger re-signs. @Blade23 any news about that?

I will be stunned if Cogger stays. The Knights are desperate for him. Too good of a deal to turn down in his position imo.

Likewise

 

[Blade23]

Laurie coming back has no impact on Luai.
I still remain confident he will stay.

A few more fringes to come.

Edwards is getting closer to being done.

Helps pays for all possible little Api’s out there

And Martin?

 

[Blade23]

And Martin?

Slowly getting there. The last bit is a drag.

Can't really afford him.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Can't really afford him.

How is that ex Panther forward wanting to come back going?

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Can't really afford him.

Thanks Blade. That surprises me that he is asking for more than minimum.

 

[Blade23]

Still an option.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Still an option.

Thanks.. I think his initial might BT

He is on more than minimum. That is the problem Saints stuffed up big time. Paid overs for potential.

What about Mav Geyer and Preston Riki for next year?

 

[Black Diamond]

Who?

 

[maple_69]

Until Nath starts getting on I like the idea of bringing in a fairly experienced true halfback looking to revive their career on a 1-2 year deal. None of these boom kids are going to step in and play his role well. Flanagan would be an outstanding option.
