Rumours and Stuff

Luciano has asked for an immediate release.

Will the tigers grow some backbone and make him honour his last year. Or will they cave in just like they did for Matterson and Aloiai in the past 2 off seasons and let him go early.

If he does get released i bet they will be into papali'i for next year with an upgrade to join immediately which we will tell to shove it.

Papa can chase the collision and front load his effort for another 12 months before his paycheck
Players only go to the tigpies for a cashed up holiday don't they?

Think about it this way. If Rheed goes to the dogs whilst goulies is there he can get paid 800k a year, then when Ghantous has 3 decent games in NSW cup he'll offer Rheed up for 500k and we get him back anyway.

apparently we have increased our offer to Mahoney.

According to the article we have offered $1.5 m over 3 years but dogs have offered $2.4m over 4 years…..

if those figures are correct, looks like we will be looking for a new hooker.

actually reckon $600k is probably a pretty fair amount for Mahoney and we probably should get closer to the dogs offer (assuming they are close to the truth)

Post the whole article. Let’s avoid giving them anymore clicks than they deserve.
We won’t but we should consider giving Rheed an extra year to bring us closer

Yeah an extra year and $200k top up 2022 (papa money/KP money above minimum), pretty much meets their offer.

So why would we not offer 4 years? Do we not see him as our long term hooker? or is this a MON policy of 3 year contracts.

Yeah there’s a pretty strict policy of 3 year max contracts. And it makes sense for long term risk mitigation but then on the flip side of it, if it costs you good players/costs you an additional $X dollars over the 3 years, then is it worth it?

At his age the extra year represents a potential loss of income. In 2025 (that extra year) he will be 28. At his peak and possibly an established Origin player. Locking in that year at $600k means he could miss out on whatever the market might pay at the time.

Probably the figures etc are being fed to the media knobheads by another moron in his player manager. Actually , like a lot of supporters who pay their hard earned etc, getting a bit tired of the circuses from player managers and their clients. Sometimes it seems like, well if you don't like it, just fornicate elsewhere and give nothing back to the club that rescued you from the rubbish tip earlier and developed you.

If the Roosters and Storm can play hard ball, perhaps it’s time for that to happen. Just over the media and player manager games .😡

OT @Twizzle seriously this site on an iPhone is unusable at times.

Paraphrasing from the post that got wiped by this shithole site.
Firstly, depends if our original incentives are still in offer.
Secondly, depends on Rheeds mindset. Could be risk mitigation after heavy injuries to lock in 4th year.
I reckon our negotiations are fairly comprehensive so we’ll have a solid idea of where Rheed is at and where he wants career to go.

You people have lost some quality content to this site feature.

Turns out though that if you lose what you've typed you can try refreshing the page. Sometimes the draft will reappear at the bottom.

Seriously we as a fan base are the ones perpetuating it. Stop clicking clickbait and it’ll stop appearing.
We should all agree that one person opens the clickbait then posts the whole article here. If you came across an article, don’t open it, come here first. Who’s with me?

Occasionally it does. Didn’t this time.
Either Twizzle needs to fix it otherwise Ram might get frustrated during his Iliad length essays on the benefits of outbidding competitors exceedingly early on unproven players
