Official THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

[Gumby]

Thomas Mikaele set to leave super leave and sign with the titans on a 2.5 year deal.

 

[Jaz]

If he's happy with $850k what sort of irresponsible fool would just round it up to a mil because ?

At $850K Hynes will be earning ~30% less than Mitch Moses on $1.25M.

Sign him up for $850K and you'll have his manager, his family and other teams telling him he's undervalued in no time. How happy is he going to be then? What are the chances he sees out that contract, or signs another with us after?

With the cap increase Hynes on $1M is already a bargain. Why get greedy and risk losing our MVP? That would be foolish.

Why would he sign it in the first place if not happy with it? Why would his manager say "yeah good deal, sign it bro" only to change his mind a month or two later?

Because that’s the norm at the moment. Managers are greedy as ****. And fill their clients heads with all this bullshit.

Nicho ain't that gullible.

Also, like I said, the time the manager will be greedy is now right, when the deal is being done. Not a month or two after it's done.

Also Moses seems like the type of guy who wants to get his and however the rest of the team forms is secondary.

Whilst Nicho will obviously want to be fairly compensated, he seems more concerned with how the side will form around him to give him the best chance at success.

I'd happily pay him a mil, but if he came to the negotiation table and was given the choice between top dollar, or slightly less and keeping Kennedy at fb, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the kind of guy to go the later.

parramatta are playing their team like supercoach

have 3 players on big coin (moses, brown, gutho) 4 players on good coin (matterson, rcg, paulo, lane) and then hitting autofil and wondering why they are behind snowman on the ladder

Crazy amount of cash in their halves.

Tigers are chasing Jayden Campbell for their 14 role.

Don’t see the titans letting him go.

Manly have seemed surprisingly good at finding budget squad fillers

Apparently the Eels have identified him as a potential X-factor player too.

With Titans blocking his path someone else was always going to give him a chance. He should be waiting for a chance at the #1 jersey though – why swap #14 at the Titans for #14 at the Tigers?

Yeah I think he'd be right in the mix for Tigers 1
They haven't seemed sold on either Laurie or Staines yet and from limited I've seen I think I'd pick JC over either of them too.

 

[Gumby]

Blake Taaffe is another one they are looking at.

 

[Thresher]

Would love to see how Campbell went at the back for the Storm

 

[Capital_Shark]

Laurie, Staines, Campbell - all pretty similar. How many do they buy till it works?

I'm pretty convinced that he'll get an origin call up this year in some capacity and should have a bocus clause around that in his contract. More money for Nicho there too

They paid a bit for Waqa didn't they, and silvo wouldn't have been cheap to keep

Is there really anyone in their starting side/squad that wasn't signed before he came on board?

I think Gutho had to settle for 750K despite his managers best efforts - still nice coin though - not up with the other 2 guys ..
