It doesnt make alot of difference but we got Tuilagi early before he hit form from the tigpies so I recall him being 250k and Veaga would be 150k mininum surely and 400k for Harper I think is also a bit inflated as he was barely playing 1st grade at the dogs when he came here ,but I guess may have been upgraded
At the risk of sounding like a smarty (coz I'm really not trying to be) but when did Tuilagi hit form? Or are you suggesting it's still coming?

Any props worth considering?

Possible props:

Toby Ruldolf
Tevita Tatola
Coen Hess
Jack Williams
Frank Pele

I think Luke Thompson from the Dogs would be a good signing, if hes off contract.
Rudolph would at least play on an "inclusive" round.

Rudolf would be great.


Most of the estimates in this thread would be way over. Even reported figures are sensationalized and are much less.

Then factor in 3rd parties, long serving player allowances yada yada yada.
I'd wouldn't mind him in the team either. Has a go, that's for sure. And could be good for the Club to loosen things up a bit. I don't want boofheads grubs in the Club but I also think we could do with some colourful characters.

Very injury prone though. Coen Hess has good leg speed. I rate Tatola but he might be too similar to what we’ve already got.

he allegedly hit some form when he was playing for the tigers after we had signed him earlier in the season. It was at this point there were some commentators and learned friends on STs saying that we had done well picking him up .But I still reckon we got him on the cheap side ,not saying value ,but cheap, like I think 250k ,cause the tigpies were offering him more but he said he d already signed with us and that was that.

Gotcha. Let's hope he does finally bring some form coz Seibs is putting a lot of faith in him throwing him straight back into the FG side.

We currently have 31 Players listed on the clubs website as NRL players, All other than Latu have played NRL ( So I guess Latu is actually not in our top 30)

Clubs Top 30

Backs: 13 players $5,535,000 (Not incl Latu Fainu $ 350 K )
Turbo $1.1 mil
Garrick $ 500 K
Saab $ 350 K
Tuipolutu $250 K
Koula $350 K
Parker $ 350 K
DCE $1 mil
Schu $ 800 K
Harper $ 300 K
Vaega $ 120 K
Weekes $ 175 K
Johns $ 120 K
Arthur $ 120 K


Forwards: 17 Players $6,540,000
Aloiai $ 650 K
Keppie $ 350 K
Bullemore $ 350 K
Tuilagi $ 500 K
Olakau'atu $ 800 K
Jake T $ 900 K
Woods $ 200 K
Paseka $ 600 K
Croker $ 450 K
Sipley $ 350 K
Lawton $ 200 K
Boyle $ 250 K
S Fainu $ 200 K
Condon $ 250 K
Burbo $ 250 K
Matterson $ 120 K
Z Fulton $ 120 K

Total $ 12, 075, 000 (My estimates only)... I belive the cap is $12, 100,000



2024 includes new signings and upgrades ONLY 26 players take up our cap???

Backs: 12 players $6, 275,000
Turbo $1.1 mil
Garrick $ 500 K
Saab $ 350 K
Tuipolutu $250 K
Koula $600 K - upgraded
Parker $350 K
DCE $1 mil
Schu $ 800 K
Weekes $ 175 K
Talau $ 250 K
Paolo $ 250 K
Brooks $ 650 K


Forwards: 14 Players $6, 000,000
Aloiai $ 650 K
Keppie $ 350 K
Bullemore $ 350 K
Tuilagi $ 500 K
Olakau'atu $ 800 K
Jake T $ 900 K
Paseka $ 600 K- Resign
Croker $ 450 K- Resign
Sipley $ 350 K
Lawton $ 200 K
S Fainu $ 200 K
Condon $ 250 K
Burbo $ 250 K
Gordon CKT $ 150 K- Promoted to NRL

So it doesnt leave much room , if any in the cap to get that one hard nut enforcer forward that we really need.

Total $ 12, 275,000 (My estimates only) Over the cap if it stays at $12, 100, 000 but there are some rules around this that I don't know enough about.

BUT if the cap does go up 10% to 13.3mil for 2024 then this leaves us the room to pick up a quality forward and fill another 2 spots from the group listed below, we would have $1, 125,000 for the 3 or 4 spots, so we wouldnt be over the cap for 2024.

Im not saying the club will not resign- Harper, Arthur, Johns, Veaga, Woods, Boyle, Matterson, Fulton, they are all off contract end 2023.
They may just put them in the BWSE team and NOT in the NRL Top 30 list, So they wont offer them an NRL Contract.

We also have players like Croker, Paseka, Lawton, Burbo off contract but I believe the club will retain them, then again they may move one or more on and look to strengthen our forward pack.
Problem is alot of players have clauses in their contracts that stipulates their money goes up when the cap does
 
Player agents will be raking it at the end of 2024....

Some of those figures are pretty generous,you also have guys incoming for next year with guys not contracted/probably leaving
Doubt that Koula,Harper,Paseka,Croker,Ola,Tuilagi,Jake,Vaega are on that much.
Brooks is reported as 600,DCE may be on a little less as well.
I do believe that we are going to be spending most of our cap on 17-19 players next year and we will have a lot of minimum wage guys for depth.
I like going that way,just means we need to make sure our depth can compete.
Might see a few guys like Dias,Stuckey,Matterson,Faulalo and Toby from workers get a look in.
Flegg guys like Uesele,Dunford,Navale,Bunting,Hopoate,Brown and Thompson might get a look in too.
Bit like what the Storm did to accommodate the Storms big 3 a while back.

I put this post in the Liam Martin thread guys, but I think it's appropriate here too (sorry about repeating myself).

(And remember, the relates to all players)

I've been mucking around in a lot of threads tonight, but one thing I WILL say, is don't believe all you read / hear in the media around contract values and prices.

Everyone was certain and adamant Choc was on 900k with us which was complete bull****. Not even close. I promised Wayne Honeywood I wouldn't give the actual figure away and I won't, but it couldn't have been further from the truth, please trust me.

Also, don't forget a lot of contracts include incentive requirements i.e. making finals, number if games played, if you play rep footy, winning Grand Finals and all that.

I can assure people just because some nuffy on NRL on Fox claimed he was on 800k plus, and everyone latched onto that , it's almost certainly not real.

Secondly, he's just been offered (and accepted) an extention with the club knowing he's moving back into the backrow (as behind closed doors , Brooks would have been in our radar for some time). The new contract would have considered positional play.

As NWA said - don't believe the hype
