On BSB this morning they were talking about this, and fatboy's manager rang in to say there was nothing happening at this point in time.
Which probably means he's signed!!! :shock:

What was it that Piggy Riddell said to him when he was on his way to the sin-bin..."Woohoo........On ya way Fatboy!!!" :lol:

Irrelevant, but important

Always loved riddell's sense of humour

if we do sign him, we have just purchased an expensive lemon. Then again I'd consider 100k per year expensive for him

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

my mate reckons he just heard on 2ue his been signed for three

A visual perspective of my opinion.

EQUALS

 

[Lime_Green]

Apparently we are in 11th hour negotiations with him.

But according to reports you guys have offered $200K (!!!) and we are unwilling to match that.

Canberra prop Michael Weyman appears set to move to St George-Illawarra next season after the Dragons offered him a two-year deal worth a reported $200,000 a season.

...


The Raiders are making a play at Sydney Roosters prop David Shillington, which if successful will leave Weyman on the outer.


...

The Raiders have also expressed interest in off-contract Wests Tigers and Country Origin back-rower Chris Heighington.


...


Weyman is currently serving a seven-match suspension for striking and won't be back in action until round 13.
He has played just 43 NRL games since debuting in 2003 thanks to a string of injuries and suspensions.

So let me get this straight...we have say 200K at least to spend...and instead of looking to proven players such as Heinington and Shillington (who would add so much to our forward pack) we look to go to an injury prone, undisciplined player such as Weyman?

 

[Hutty1986]

This administration is f*cking unbelievable. 200k a year for that fat nuffy??

 

[stg666]

having seen what horse is capable of i would be very interested to see how a bit of bennett magic would work. capable of playing for aust again if things go right.

 

[Steel Dragon]

holy sh!t!!!
Weyman is a uselss waste of potential.

You know the Dragons are only gonna make him a star to see him return to the Raiders in 2-3 years time for twice the money he is worth.
Stoopid Raiders.

As the player transfer market intensified further yesterday, Canberra prop Michael Weyman is set to become Wayne Bennett's first signing for St George Illawarra after being offered a $200,000-a-year deal - a move that could spell the end for Jason Ryles.

 

[Godz Illa]

Money wise $200k is probably the maximum you'd pay for Weyman, but for Heighington and Shillington such a price would be at the lower end of the scale. But Weyman's upside is probably as big as his backside. Was captain of an Australian Schoolboys squad that included Ryan Hoffman, Liam Fulton, Ashton Sims, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, Tim Smith, Ben Hannant and Justin Poore. His situation is comparable to Ben Cross, who started with Canberra, had some judiciary problems, played 20 games in 2 years... then was transformed by Craig Bellamy into a topline rep level prop.

I personally think gambling on Weyman is a long long shot, especially if it means we lose Ryles. But I've been repeating this mantra: in Bennett we trust.
