Rumours and Stuff

Just looked up Daniel Saifiti's current salary and they reckon he is on $700K a season. So if we are seriously thinking of taking over Ofahengaue's contract of $650K at full freight, we have rocks in our head when we could hypothetically get Saifiti for almost as much and maybe even the same or slightly less if the Knights came to the party.

Lets see how it plays out, I dont think the Knights are seriously willing to let him go.

He also wont come to us to come from the bench with Reg and Barlo infront of him.

Joe I see could come on rip in for 30 and make his mark at 400k a season!

If this is what he is currently on and we are paying full freight, he isn't worth it. I mean the Roosters just paid $525K for Spencer Leniu who is twice the player Ofahengaue is. A player like Ofahengaue should never be on our books for more then $400K.

Wests Tigers​

  1. Luke Brooks - $850,000
  2. Moses Mbye - $815,000
  3. Russell Packer - $750,000
  4. Joe Ofahengaue - $650,000
  5. Adam Doueihi - $625,000
  6. Joseph Leilua - $550,000
  7. David Nofoaluma - $525,000
In contrast Daniel Saifiti isn't even in the Knights highest paid players list. If that is the case we should be signing him for that sort of money.

Newcastle Knights​

  1. Kalyn Ponga - $1 million
  2. Mitchell Pearce - $900,000
  3. David Klemmer - $800,000
  4. Tyson Frizell - $700,000

that contract was what we took over from the broncos who apparently paid a decent chunk of it. its obvioulsy way overs considering the level he is at. he has since signed a new contract (that i assume) is more inline with his ability

I can see another Waka Blake situation here, get them to pay some freight for 2 years then we sign him to a 4 year deal which for which the last 2 years he is just not worth.

Just some others that we can compare to.

Maybe, maybe not, you are a desperate club after all. You also have to take into considering the salary cap has come up a considerable amount since then.

A couple of years ago yes, however the clubs recruitment/retention has been good the last 12-18 months. The fact that another club is wanting to sign him shows that it can’t be that bad.

Makes it sound like a hostage negotiation @The Silverdale Phantom

Lol.

I’m all good with Joe leaving to help another struggling club.

That said, in return we just need any spare halves you may have lying around.

And Brooksy comes with Joe. No returns Sorro.

We can meet at the Horsely Park turnoff on the m7. Push Joe and Brooksy out of the van in a blindfold.

You guys can have JA and we can take Brooks for the rest of his contract and Joe!

We could leave the blindfold on Brooks. He'd probably play better ...
