even if he wants $800k and Brooks is offered to us for $400k?

Brooks isn't worth even that much at the moment the way his playing but will probably end up getting more than that. Isn't there in option in his favour at the Tigers for over 500k

Brooks isn't half the player Norman is, and he would be wanting similar money.

We lost our best front rower, losing Norman would be an absolute failure as far as our retention goes. But of course Pou is happy for us to lose our best players.

It's probably too late now. He took a risk waiting until he showed his best form and now his price is massive. He'll end up somewhere as the primary half.

We should sign one of the kids from Wests. At least their prices will be dropping.

Funnily enough I bought Mitchell Moses on my Rugby League Team Manager game for 2017. Initially I slotted him in at fullback until Beven French was ready though. Corey Norman's form fell away in the game though and he's been lucky to sit on the bench as the impact player.

Probably bought a house now he's staying in NQ , not that's theres anything wrong with that :sarcasm::crazy:

:lol: Because he's overhyped to the max and the dearth of decent halves in the competition you f**king know it all f**k face

I mean an average footballer like Mybe is looking at 800k.

Well they did let go of Wright, plenty of room for upgrades on Coote,Tamou and Ethan Lowe.

True Norman is a lot better and there is no way you would pay the same for him as you would for Norman.

But don't forget Norman wasn't going that great 3 years ago when he signed a big contract with us, he was probably playing no better then what Brooks is playing now. And Brooks would be playing in a stronger eels side then what Norman started playing in.

It comes down to price and what cap space we have. If we have, lets say $1million to spend on a prop and half, I would happily sign brooks for $400-$500k and $500k for a prop, then Norman on $800k and $200k on a prop.

 

[hineyrulz]

People will really think we could sign Brooks on 400k??? lol

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yep, but if I was his manager I would be telling him, to worry about playing some good footy, pick a club with a good squad/coach and sign for 3 years rather then worrying about the size of his contract. As if he stays with tigers his next contract could be in the UK for f**k all and his career will be over.

The kid can play but I doubt staying at the Tigers will give him opportunity to develop to his full potential.

We will if no merkin offers him more.

$400-$500k I reckon is possible. It's not like he has been offered huge money or he probably would have left the Tigers now.

He is only on $500k now I think, so if he had the option of staying with the Tigers or joining a strong club for similar money he may just decide to leave to progress his career.

 

[Twizzle]

I think Norman is doable. He wants to stay under BA and also he wants to stay and partner Foran.

I also dont think it will be too hard for him to attract TPAs with his current form.

On the down side his current form may encourage other clubs to pay overs and thats something we cant control but he may not necessarily go to the highest bidder as he has expressed his desire to stay.

Plus he is marketable, meaning he will pull good TPAs at our club. It's just the non-marketable players (like Ferguson, Watmough and Darius Boyd) that can only get big TPAs from clubs with rich fans.

So who do we go for at FB now?

"I want to stay" always includes the disclaimer "...for the right price." I'd say the right price is very close to whatever the highest offer is.

I reckon the club has French lined up for fullback - he has re-signed for a few years.

 

[TheRam]

You understand the key to remaining competitive is paying unders for as many players as possible and overs for as few as possible?

You understand that your proclivity for mediocrity in the halves and for possibly half the team, has gotten us nowhere over thirty years? Even when we had great teams under BS, we failed to win titles because our halves were always inferior to the better ones.

To replace one member of arguably the best halves combination in the NRL, for someone that would cost at least $6-700k and is a shadow of the player he is replacing is total illogical nonsense. These are the guys that we build around for the next 6 or 7 years mate.

If we do that we will be the envy of the NRL. If we don't we will be the envy of the Mediocraty Party and its leader YOU.

One of you best Pou. You been using to much of your own snow my friend. Me thinks you should ease off a little. It's doing you no favours.
