Rumours and Stuff

[oldmancraigy]

We had 450-500k for Blaize but had not signed Superman. There would be 250k gone.

I doubt we paid Simmo more than he was already on!! So that nullifies itself out, no?

 

[oldmancraigy]

I have a very good idea. It's common sense.
We would have next to nothing as nobody notable is coming off contract and we have splashed 650k on Lomax.
If we had 600k for Holmes after signing Simmo that suggest we where playing the last few years with 1 million under the cap. Highly doubt that

But maybe?

Don't. You're just joining the dots NRL360 style. "Based on 25 assumptions I am sure that....."

What was he on. 300k? I'd assume around that. I'd suggest he wouldn't of taken less then 200-250k. Before his injury he probably get 300-350k.

The biggest X on our books I'd say is HAZE. He signed as a young player showing lots of potential and had just about cemented a first grade spot and took 3yrs
You'd guess around 250-300k.

Sorry, saying that someone is a better guesser means nothing.

This place would be crickets if we relied on having factual information before posting. Of course we need to play a bit of joining the dots.

I rather be paying Lomax 650k then Holmes 830k a year.

Lomax has way more upside and age on his side.

I think we have won out of this 3-way deal.

Especially as the Dragons are probably paying more for Holmes then what Lomax is on now 800k isnt he or around that mark.

Absolutely spot on. Huge win for us.

stopped watching the three stooges pissing in each others pocket whilst bagging rothfield about everything he says

We have heaps spare with same roster and nobody off contract after signing Lomax.

Skelton to the Tigers whilst we are re-signing a winger who has just don his ACL for another 3 years. FMD

Skelton is shit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Skelton is 26 in 2025 and has so far played 6 NRL games and 34 reserve grade games over 22/23/24. Now he has signed with the Tigers.

Are you taking the piss ?

ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Regardless. Storm just signed Stefano and have Big Nelson. They are two.of the biggest forwards in the game.

They are surrounded by skinny toilers though.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That idiot, Adam also stated on the latest podcast that our CEO approached him at the game and knew his name to intimate that he was a somebody and not some balding nobody.

What’s wrong with balding nobodies ffs?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Sorry, saying that someone is a better guesser means nothing.

I disagree. Even the best analysts, forecasters, punters and investors have margins of error. But those margins are much narrower than for their lesser peers. Likewise with guessers.

If there was a choice between Superman coming back from an ACL and Skelton I'd choose Skelton.
The guy is a beast.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I figured Lomax would stop us signing Simonsson. My guess (assessment) is that the ACL has pushed Simonsson down into a lesser squad status and pay bracket. He will battle Russell for the fourth outside back spot.
