Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Vic Mackey]

After agreeing to terms to coach riff after his current WT contract ended, which would have been 2-3 seasons later... thats 2-3 seasons that could have been Ivan at the helm, instead the tigers uproar got so bad that they were calling for his head asap, pushed him out the door...

Thats complete and utter garbage and you know it.

 

[Ned Kelly]

He would certainly give us backline to help the forwards.

OH YEAH !!!

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Or, even better . . . The Magpies. That'd be sweet.
We've had 20 years of the Tigers. Surely it's the Maggies turn ?

I vote for Tigpies. Be unique. Think of the branding opportunities.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Could have kept "the one and only Ivan", for his remaining years....

Im sure the "bus" would have had a succession plan far better than what's happening now...
Even so i do rate sheensy as an elite coach

I don’t think any of the crew here think Ivan is a bad coach.

On the contrary.

Exception was taken to the fact that he was negotiating with you while coaching us, the manner of his departure and his use of texts messages to announce same.

‘Twas seen as cowardly and unbecoming in circumstances where he had led us to believe he was honourable and committed.

He is disliked on character grounds, his actual coaching was otherwise commended and even mentioned in the kindest terms once he had left.

I for one, cannot forgive him and in this instance, my heart rules my head and I never want to see him at WT again.

That said, I wish no personal harm to befall him, friends and family in any way.

Where our paths cross, I must otherwise turn my gaze away from him as I for one, I do not respect him.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I was having a look at Furner, hes another snout but also interesting.

For the most part, he’s found himself in fair demand despite sides he’s been involved with not exactly reaching nirvana. A lot of fails

Apart from being a laddy ladster does anyone know why he’s here?

NRL announces record-high salary caps for 2023 season

The National Rugby League (NRL) is excited to announce the NRL and NRLW salary cap for season 2023 at a new record-breaking level for both male and female players.

www.nrl.com

Can someone with a far superior mathematical mind to mine (wouldn't be hard) break this article down into what it actually means as far as more money to spend on new signings?
Taken in to account that "NRL has announced that the minimum salary for all male players in a club’s top 30 NRL squad will grow to $120,000." does that mean there is still money left over for us to sign Moses and Bateman ?

Depends on how much the tigers have left...
How much bateman will cost plus transfer fee from ESL, and how much mitch can count...
Usually he can start from 1, then 2, but after that just yells POTATO, ...as its his favorite number

 

[Shredder]

I dont think an ESL transfer fee is included in the cap.

 

[The Rosco]

The other forum is reporting that SEN reported that Bateman is signed on a 4 yr deal.

The NRL has announced the salary cap will rise to a record $12.1 million in 2023 while the minimum salary will jump from $80,000 to $120,000.

In a Christmas boost, players who have ratchet clauses will receive an 18 per cent increase to their playing fee, which will be back-dated to November 1.

Clubs have been working to a cap of $9.5 million but had anticipated the figure jumping to about $10.9m.

The cap for the top-30 squad will increase to $11.45 million, a 22 per cent rise on this year’s figure. The development list will increase from $240,000 to $650,000.

‘Disrespectful’: RLPA unhappy with NRL over salary cap announcement

The NRL salary cap will rise to a record $12.1m in 2023 - but the players’ union said they had not had time to agree to the proposal before it was announced by the governing body.

Benji carved out many real potatoes to become intimate with before he saved up and bought Sharon the rubber potato.

He tried out his best pick line on the vegetable

“ Hey baby do ya wanna root?”

He was cooler than the fonz.

Benji can counsel Junior Amone in gaol.

Teach him how to get a job in the kitchen and carve a women out of a potato.

He can tell him about his f**king pass he threw by accident 25 years ago. Make Juniiors time in gaol seem like an eternity in 5 minutes.

Junior can then petition the state governor for the death penalty to be reintroduced to save himself from anymore torture listening to Benji.

Amnesty and Greta would be on board too.

Thats pretty bad bra, very low to ask for the death penalty

It’s an act of mercy.

Junior would rather end it all than listen to Benji crap on about his f**king pass every visit.

I would.

Chill bro it’s Xmas.

Yeah, fair enough.

Amone might cop 5 years plus lagging and a $2.5m lost career haircut over a f**king nature strip parking issue.

Should donate his brain to a lab when he morbidly passes away. Help science understand our cave man ancestors.

He could get a job on the wt board and improve it I guess.
