Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

Have the Sharks sent scouts to the World Cup?

Yep. They made $150 washing cars, helping old ladies across the street and teaching old deros how to properly roll their Tally-ho papers.

Easily the cleanest post you’ve ever made.

You think? Uncle Sad might perceive "helping old ladies" from a whole alternative perspective.

f**kin sharks legend retired email. Fifita. No f**kin shit.

I suspect we’re waiting for the announcement on salary cap for next year (which is an absolute shambles that we still don’t know - it’s a shambles that we didn’t know before Nov 1st last year, let alone this year).
And what that tells me is that we’re definitely going to be paying Wade more than he’s worth. If we HAVE to sing hIm (clearly I don’t think we should) he should be on minimum wage - whatever next years cap is should be irrelevant.

Would minimum wage satisfy the NRL? They would have a value on Wade's contract. They supposedly have a value on all of them.

It would satisfy me.

Absolutely it should. Roosters are signing Lodge on at minimum wage - despite the fact Warriors are paying him $750k for this year.

I’d still be pissed at minimum wage.

Yeah but what the Roosters pay is only what they have to pay to get the contract to what it is registered for.

If Warriors weren't kicking the tin the Roosters aren't getting Lodge for $100k.

I reckon if the Sharks try and get Graham for minimum wage the contract gets rejected.

 

[shaggs]

Then they’d have 2 fullbacks who don’t tackle.

Make it 3. They just signed Staines

I’m not sure that is the case - the Warriors released him and paid him off. There was no Warriors to Roosters deal, so there’s no ‘Warriors pay x and Roosters pay y to = z’. He got his full salary from Warriors. Roosters should be forced to pay his full market value this year.
I’d love to see what evidence NRL could upset to justify Wade being anything over minimum. They certainly won’t want to be using his last 3 years stats to suit that arguement.

Well let's say that's how it works. There is also the fact he was only signed for 8 games and the Roosters were 10th. He helped get them to the semis and ended up with 9 games but I won't count the semi.

$100,000 for 8 games isn't minimum wage. He already had 3/4 of a mill in his kick when he signed that as well which made it easy for him to sign on for $12,500 a game (probably unders). He remains unsigned for 2023. Whoever signs him won't be getting away with $100k for a fill season.

The comparison of what he got for 8 games against what WG "should" get for a full season is beyond apples and oranges. It's really just a commentary on disdain for the Roosters

Not that there is anything wrong with that

For what it's worth

Luke Brooks’ departure could be delayed until 2024

The article says that Klemmer and Brooks may play together in 2023 at the Tigers. Surely that means they don't give Klemmer the money he wants.

It's a thick plot

Dylan Napa has been released by Catalans. Has a Fitz relationship. SOO player. Mongrel. Big.

 

[Mr Angry]

I like Hiroti, big, fast, strong, just needs a coach.

Australian school boy.

Some need more time than others.
