Jamal Fogarty

[Waz13]

360 mentioned we are meeting with Jamal’s management team tomorrow to get the deal done.

 

[The '47ers]

Sadly the longer the negotiations go on the less chance we are of getting him..
We have people on here doubting this signing.. I guarantee Ricky has got Jamal and his family over for dinner tonight and will be making sure the other senior players do the same to ensure he stays at the raiders.
They value him and he will stay

Then we will have posters on here complaining we havnt got a half back.. the most crucial position on the field

Didn't the Raiders pass on their option to keep him?!
Like others suggest it's probably Ricky pushing the price/years up to get his boy some extra coin

Yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Is that you ruebs?

If ricky loves and values him so much why doesn't he pay 700k?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Seriously he is a $500-550kk max player.

In 2021 yes, but not in 2025

Ricky loves him, that's why he's making us pay 700 over 3 years

 

[Brookie1973]

Is Ethan strange any good? Seems like Ricky doesn’t rate him.

 

[Ned]

If that was true ricky would want to keep him. I don't doubt ricky wants to screw us just don't think this love story is real.

I would be on the front foot now if I'm Seibs and management having a talk to walsh and large and letting them no they are still in the picture etc. This needs to be handled with honesty and integrity but we still could loose one of them now potentially!

 

[LeonardCohen]

How hard can it be to teach a kid to kick …. They do it in AFL all the time!

Just sayin’

Obviously more difficult than you think or every half in the NRL would have an elite kicking game.

 

[LeonardCohen]

Is Ethan strange any good? Seems like Ricky doesn’t rate him.

He handed him a debut at 18 years old and used him at 6 all of last season and into this year...I think that says he rates him pretty highly.

Seriously. 700k and 3 year deal.

Goodbye our next halfback saviour Joey Walsh. We won't be able to afford to keep him, just like Humphries 😤

Cool tell me more about our current cap structure that makes you feel that way.

If this is correct Manly Sea Eagles then by the time Walsh is off contract in 2027 he is one of only 10 players under contract at that time...which means there is a hell of a lot of wiggle room

But I guess it is better to get upset over maybe losing a kid who has played three lower grade games this year when the data does not even really back it up

 

[Chip and Chase]

If the extra year is what it takes to get deal done then I'm good with that. $700K is maybe a touch overs but it's not a buyers market when it comes to halves. I think he should be a solid enough buy. What are we paying Brooks in comparison ??

I don't think the 3 year deal scares off Joey Walsh. 8 year deals are what scares off young players.

Um why? It is one more year than what we offered DCE in the end and that is even assuming both players end up in the halves...which we do not know will happen

Apparently we are paying brooks 700k as well

So we have decent 6 & 7 for the same price (almost) that newcastle paid for Brown?

SEASON 2025 STATS

View attachment 29990

Those stats don't include that Fogarty has helped his team to 5 wins
DCE 3 wins

Brooks is on $600k

 

[Chip and Chase]

DCE 3 wins

And there is no way Fogarty is 77kg

Brooks is on $600k

So we get two for the price of 1.

As long as the way we play evolves at least we will see something different

Not to mention we don't even know if they'll end up being very good. We've had some media puff pieces and already we're assuming he is the second coming of Jesus.
