will thurston be an eel?

[Avenger]

700k is a lot of money on one player. I reckon he should go to union. 700k is too much for ones salary cap in the NRL.

It won't be $700K if he comes to us. The lure will be premierships.

 

[JessEel]

he can kick goals too, be funny if he signed for us then people wouldnt call him a cheat/dog/etc anymore

I would.

Me too.

Me Three - it would take a spectacular fkn chain of events to sway my opinion of this doucebag..


I was talking to Rowdy this morning on the train, and got so heated she had to get me to calm down.
I think a may write a letter to the club this weekend begging them not to employ this guy. That's how strongly i feel, IM WILLING TO TURN INTO MY MOTHER AND WRITE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT!! :lol:

 

[Avenger]

If he wears the Eels jumper I forgive, maybe you should consider it too Jess.

 

[Twizzle]

for those who want him, what 3 players would you give up to sign him ?

:lol:

WHAT Premierships?

 

[hineyrulz]

In 2011 we will have a sh*tload to spend, Caylo,Burt,Grothe are all of contract by then there is around 700k there. But i would not spend more than 500k to get him.

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

Yeah don't we have like $2 million available at the end of next year???

 

[Twizzle]

Cayless, Burt and Grothe.

so who plays on the wing with both wingers gone

Reddy/Inu on one wing, Tahu and Reddy/Inu in the centres and a Wenty player on the other wing ?

 

[fish eel]

for those who want him, what 3 players would you give up to sign him ?

where does the three players come from?

The 700k figure reported in the press?

You're assuming thats right - and it is a base figure coming out of the cap.

Personally I dont believe any club would pay 700K as a base figure out of their cap for any player.

Both Keating and Mortimer can't be keepers if we want Thurston.

Agreed, they are the ones with Hindy and Poore we can build a team around

 

[TheRam]

How good was Morts defence on Monday?

Sensational.

Wingers are just finishers. Folau is the exeption to that....the other origin wingers are just blokes who stand on the wing and score what is presented to them. As long as they are solid enough to play first grade.

f**k I could score meaties with quality ball laid on by a quality halfback.

There'll be others.

Daniel Fitzhenry was a try scoring winger and a grand final winner outside Prince and Benji :lol:

 

[The Colonel]

With players like Hayne, Mateo, Inu, Cayless, Grothe, Mortimer, Kris Keating, Matt Keating, Burt and a few others off contract.

I reckon it will be unlikely that the club sign Cayless, Grothe and Burt to long extensions if at all.

We still need to wrap up Hayne and Mateo long term. We'll have Tahu picking up a bit extra on his backloaded deal as well as Hindy. You would hope that we would keep Mortimer.

I don't think it is as easy as saying give him Cayless's money and grab a few outside sponsors (the third party sponsorships are limted to a two or three players and capped at $150,000 a player - if for instance Tahu and Hindmarsh are bieng topped up in that way we can't approach anyone for Thurston anyway) to nab him.

I don't think we'll be looking at $700,000 for him to move clubs but we'd be looking at a fair chunk over $450,000 which would place at the very least four players (Hayne, Hindmarsh, Tahu and Thurston) taking up to close to $1.7 million of our cap.

Mateo certainly won't come cheap either so you could estimate $2 million on five players.

The next twenty under $2 million considering Poore is on a reasonably good wicket as well it is a decent basis for a team? But depth will be severely tested.
