I found it a bizarre move. Tedesco is class but we would have another Hayne scenario where our most expensive player is a fullback with a questionable injury record. I'm more than happy with Gutherson and French.

I'm hoping we can jag someone who is surplus to another club's needs. Someone like Klemmer or Graham and a hooker. Hope we also get Nofoaluma.

I would be very surprised if we got Nofoaluma. I can't see why the Tigers couldn't match (or beat) any offer of ours.

We must have a heap of $$ still to play with if we were genuinely in the hunt for Tedesco.

That would mean despite signing Moses & Evans, we still have circa $1m available for next season...

I'd be waiting to see what happens with Semi's case in 2 weeks, and if he gets off then offer him a very solid upgrade, with re-contracted terms for 2017 and front load it with the cap space we have available now Moses isn't coming early.

If Semi gets done, we can still chase a genuine rep quality back and forward or hooker. I'd go for Gagai or Nofo or Kahu for a back.

I wish I was getting paid that much. There is some interesting clauses in the contract as well

Kahu just resigned..

Gagai loves Newcastle

Nofo will bolt if teddy and woods do I reckon

Gagai used to love Brisbane too.

I bet he'd love playing in a team where he isn't the only attacking threat as well. I doubt he's impressed that Ponga will ride into town on more $$ than he is too

You're f**ken kidding merkin. Those two together would be $1.2M+. How far under the cap do you reckon we are?

We also need to sign/re-sign another half dozen players into the top 25.

I met my future self once. He told me that for the world to survive I had to die, otherwise I would become patient zero for a particularly virulent strain of syphilis after a night on the town with Gary.

Obviously this came as something of a shock, but being the selfless bloke I am I swallowed my fear and killed him right there and then....
Smart move.

If we were in the hunt for Tedesco, then I'm guessing we're also talking to Dugan and possibly Hayne. Maybe Brad doesn't think French is ready to be a fulltime fullback yet.

Hasn't Semi already signed a contract with Toulon, for 2017/18 and with an option (in Semi's favour) fro 2018/19?

Noticed on Instagram that all the NRL players are using the hashtag #powerinnumbers @rlplayers

@rlplayers refers to the Rugby League Players Association. Something brewing??

There are 2 blokes that can save the tigers right now and they now have the funds to do it...Cronk and Hayne!

If they're smart enough they'll make it happen
