It just means he has rejected their offer but they could agree to amended figure

Luke Brooks to Roosters.
Both the wrong choices for the Tigers where they are at atm.
Could see them going the UK route, G Williams or Welsby.
Could see them going all in on Sam Walker and I think that would be a good fit for both player and club.

Good luck to him, he has battler that goes to the ESL and returns home with a Man of steel written all over him.
Apparently the Tigers only offered him around $500k per season. Sounds like they don't have a huge amount of money to chase a replacement.

Most of that money might have gone to Api.

They'd have heaps of cap space. They've offered him 500k because he hasn't led them to the finals in 11 years and that's all he is worth to them.
They spent a fair bit this year, Api, Papalii, Klemmer and Bateman wouldn't have come cheap.

They’ve managed to fit them all in this year with Brooks on a million bucks. The rest of their roster is modest and I doubt they would structure their cap in such a way as to have only a paltry 500k spare for what is arguably the most critical position in a roster.
I could be wrong But I don’t think even the Tigers are that dumb.
