I'm wondering how melbourne can fit him into their cap next year. Their spine players would be on $1mil each when averaged out. Plus NAS is reportedly on $800k. How do they find the room? Amazing.

The NRL are a joke. They, or any other club should not even be allowed to negotiate until they have room in their cap.

I'm saying you should have to clear players out first to make room rather than the other way around. No wonder clubs like ours have a bloody hard time turning around their fortunes.

It's dodge. The only way we can compete is letting guys like Stefano go. Surely they are paying him 800k plus which to me is ridiculous.

They are apparently shopping Papenhausen. I wonder if he's coming home to the tigers ;)

Neither of them for us unless it's a good price. You'd have to find room them wouldn't U?
You would have to think Paps is a risk, that we couldn't afford.
With Ute going, we need a big bopper, NAS is only 28 (so he should be at his peak), just not sure if he's carrying injury or just out of form.
But whatever happens, we need another FR maybe two. Klem is doing it either.

Nelson hurt his knee I think. He's a big body and if he's on his game would outshine Stefano in a skipping or egg and spoon race

NAS is having a reasonable hitout against the dragons. We should jeep an eye on him. I bet you Benji is

You would think he can see the writing on the wall, now.
Not suggesting he will come to us or even we want him, but his days at the Storm seem numbered.

He's played 23 min so far. Just put a big shot on with head contact and on report. He'll fit in, if only he got sent to the bin as that's a required credential to be a tiger.

Hang on he's thrown a ball at a player that started a melee and still didn't go to the bin... he's definitely not a tiger.
