Rumours and Stuff

Are they? Only Cartwight was off contract for next year.

Upgrades don't only happen when the extension is signed. They can be delayed until the new contract starts (12 months later) or even structured to increase every year. You might remember hearing about 'ratchet clauses' that increase the contract in line with increases in the cap. This can still be approximated with a predefined annual increase, in anticipation of an increased salary cap, as well as anticipated improvement in young players. As an example, look at all the backup merkins whose contracts have them in the top 30 in the final year.

And the Later JJBM has more upside than the first 2 players as well as a few others in our dev or top 30 squad.

Crazy how he's missed out on one of the 500+ full time contracts on offer in the NRL: https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/01/01...ings-news-details-contracts-signings-updates/

Maybe that's why the Dogs have wriggled out of their deal with Taukeiaho?

So which player on that list is getting paid more next year than this year?

Is it August 2024? isn't that when the NRL squads need to finalize there contracts? Come back to me then.

No they were both much better:

More Lies JJBM first played NSW Cup in March 2023.

I was talking about Taumoepenu's 2021/2022 form: https://www.nswrl.com.au/players/nsw-cup/parramatta-eels-nsw-cup/tevita-taumoepenu/

He was signed into our 2024 top 30 based on his excellent reserve grade form in 2021 (much better and a year younger than JJBM was this year). So if a young prop can decline after a very good season in reserve grade why would we offer a top 30 spot to JJBM? He was only average this year.

I'd like you to tell me which ones are being paid the same amount!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No you can come back to me then. Right now he's nowhere to be seen. Is he on a train-and-trial somewhere? Google doesn't know.

How many games did you watch again?

Should call you RAM.

We offered other players contracts for being "average"

Why would I come back to you? You didn't need to hit the quote button.
You don't even know all the players running around at Kellyville this week.

Why would he need to watch games he can cherry pick stats from his loo in Perth.

About a week ago, you didn't seem to know how the Top 30 worked... and expressed surprise that signing someone in on a higher salary might push a play you'd thought was in the Top 30 down to #31

Yeah I am sure Dogs would be interested they already have enough blokes who don't want to train/work hard apparently.

If anyone has time to listen, be interresting to know what Georgallis other role is and who the signing rumour is

The signing rumour is the one they read here from yours truly.

Curtis Scott.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Your the one answering my question.

I challenged your assumption. You don't know players are on the same amount every year of their contract. I even gave you examples of when they aren't.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Must be why no club has given him a contract. They should've watched him play every game!

Should call you RAM.

All showed more than JJBM did this year. That's why they have contracts and he doesn't.

I don't, but I'm sure they're all looking like world beaters!

You replied to a question I had.
