Rumours and Stuff

[TheCrowe]

Potential = risk for the club.

 

[Parra Pride]

You know what I’d do if I was Parra. We want an x - factor player don’t we? Then be ruthless and offer Reece Walsh $1.5m a year. Give him a 5 year deal and blow the Broncos out of the water. He hasn’t signed yet.

Get rid of one our props, Lane and tell Gutherson that he won’t be fullback long term.

I'd cream my pants five times over within the first few minutes of us signing Walsh if that ever happened, so luckily for my pants that'll never happen. He's a trackhead, but f**k if he isn't exciting to watch and he just makes shit happen.

I doubt even Wayne Bennett would get $2.5M per year. It would have to be total contract value.

Potential = risk for the club.

Exactly. We want to pay him based on what he's worth now. He wants to get paid on what he hopes he will be worth in the future. Whichever club signs him will be paying somewhere in between.

Rumours were that amount in total over 3 years. Which seems cheap for Wayne.

 

[Glenneel]

It means the PO ended up worthless to the player, which benefits us. He should only have taken up the option if it was overs. If he has rival offers on big money we would do well not to match them.

Or a big risk by his manager. His form on Friday will tell if he is a budding champion or not and if the latter we may have him for a cheaper price, unless some desperate club makes a play for him.

Probably learnt of the senior players how to squeeze an extra year and 100k on his contract.....
Penrith or Strom have them locked up already....

But but but but player options are the way to go!! We get them cheaper!! We’ll be paying on potential now if we manage to keep him. Yep the club are doing a bang of job ffs!!

 

[hineyrulz]

They wanted overs.

Source???

He obviously thinks he's worth more. His manager will be receiving offers, so he'll know what he's worth. Some clubs will be willing to pay for potential and can give him a starting spot next year.

He doesn't get a starting spot in any team...not even soufs, tigers, titans or dragons....no chance.

We did with Drown and Penisini, who are strong defenders. Talagi has a lot to work on. Currently he is blocked by Gutherson, Lomax, Penisini, Drown and Moses for 2025. How long does the little merkin want to wait? The Bulldogs can give him 20+ games next year.

Absolutely zero chance they can give him that. They won't sign him...to play where?
They have their 3/4 line stacked with about 8 very good to decent players. Fullback is covered. Burton 5/8. Only position would be 7 and he's not a 7

Lol

Again he acts like he's the second coming of Jamie Lyon...

What the f**k have you done in First Grade, Talagi?

Scored a good try against Manly, and then....what?

You can leave, for all I care.

He's so over-rated, it's not funny, but the media keeps pumping this agenda that he's some superstar kid.

When the game was on the line against the Tigers, he did nothing.

Enter Lachlan Galvin, who put on the match-winning play for the Tigers.

Schiller has signed for the Knights.
Plenty of impressive performances in that write up though

 

[Avenger]

What about Sam Stonestreet? He’s as fast as they come.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

If Talangi took up the player option he would have been off contract for 2026 in November anyway. There’s every chance we are preparing a longer contract and the whole going to market is a media beat up. ( also a good chance we are fiddling with our dicks while the Roosters make an offer too).

I hope we call his bluff.

He hasn't shown enough to suggest he is a priority re-signing, imo.

Hindy should stick to being a comedy act with Fletch.

I cant take a dribbler in Dobbo seriously.

I still think Wayne will drag this out for a month or two at least.

What's the rush from Wayne's perspective.

He could wait for the Cows job tbh because i reckon Payten is on thin ice if the cows keep spiralling.

I see that as a better fit for Wayne then what Souths are in atm.
