Signings and Depatures

[Davester]

If you fellow supporters don't mind, would you be able to post in this thread our signings and depatures for the 2005 season. I guess it would save people having to search threads to find out who's going to be leaving our club and whose going to play for us next season. So yeah would be good to put any updates in here too. This thread should be made sticky.

Paul Whatuira (Penrith Panthers) signed for 3 years.

I don't know how long the others are signed for though...

 

[innsaneink]

Sattler=retired
Senter=retired
Moodie=retired
Covell=Sharks

Meredith<Souths 2 years?
Nicky K<Canberra 2 years?
Tim McGann= 2 years
Jarodd Saffy=????

Mears?
Heighno?

 

[Davester]

I know that Covell is now signed by the Sharks but for how long?

 

[innsaneink]

Who cares?

:? ...what I do? unless there's some good reason you got something against me...I don't understand.

Best bet is to trawl to the hundreds of posts about signings etc.....and dude, not everything is personal - people just see hundreds of topics that are the same and get sick of them after a while, its nothing personal

[Bring it home Knights]

Dave...........

Believe me......I have nothing against you......you are a name on my computer screen. :lol:

Luke covell has gone to the sharks...hes finished , kaput, goneskis, history....thats looking backwards thats all.

Unless your hoping he'll come back? I dont see what difference how long he's gone for makes.

what are these guys like?
Luke Branighan (Cabramatta JB Cup)- Was signed mid-season to help Balmain premier league in the halves. He was going to the next big thing when he was 18. Has had alot of injuries. He is off contract at the end of this season. I haven't seen much of him in premier league but have heard he is inconsistent.
George Gatis (Cowboys)- Same as Branighan signed mid-season by Magpies. Former Cowboy. Don't know much about him aside a five-eight/hooker
Nick Kouparitsas (Raiders)- five eight/lock from successful Canberra premier league. Has some wraps on him and Sheens sees him as a possible replacement for Sattler.
Mark Meredith (Souths)- Missed all of this season after a knee injury in a trial match. Has a lot of potential. A front rower who is 185cm and 107kg. Can't wait to see him play. Looked good for Souths last season.
Kosta Kouparitsas (Raiders)- Nick's younger brother. I think his only about 17?

Steve Turner (Melbourne)- What's happening with this guy? we still after him?

Well I am guessing with all the talk of Jamie Lyon coming all talk with other players were put on hold. Magpiemax probably knows more

Atm I want to know how much we have left room under the cap and how much we
have to spend

I think we are about $200,000 under budget for next season.

 

[You Igits]

Low on good gains so far......low on bad losses......a fantastic 5 re-signings......a few we should re-sign soon i hope (heigh and miles)......and a couple of rumoured signings that we could use (esp. youngquest).

All in an I think we have gone about things well. The re-signing of players was the key to next year. Skando, Halatau and Harrison being the 3 more important than most.

 

[B_Tiger]

fakahua could prove a valuable resigning if we keep him. He is a terrible defender but has the dene halatau approach to taking a hitup and is very effective. If he learns to tackle he'd be a quality first grader. In any case, I'd like to see him retained (if only for Balmain's sake).

I know I know. It's all good! ...I don't think I'd dislike you here or in person. Anyway...nah just wondering how long he's been signed for, that's all.

 

[uuem]

Whats the go with Gravy ? Last year he really looked the goods , has he not recovered from the broken arm .
Is the club no longer interested ?

 

[magpiemax]

I've heard buettner is a 90% chance of retiring.

make that 100%.

I think we actually have more then $200,000 under the salary cap. But the club can't afford to spend the full 3.5 million. Thats the main reason they are looking to play matches at Telstra Stadium next season. The club can afford about another $200,000 on players next year. I have no idea how much under the salary cap we will be next season
