You are right about this being very interesting...very interesting indeed considering:
Schuster had four clubs after him...but will stay.
Sione wasn’t even off contract
Barrett never tossed Wright up as a lock and Des never wanted to keep him. He got rid of Kelly to help get us under the cap.
Funa is also another of those players that get talked up unnecessarily on the forum: he was playing Union 7s and was lucky to get a deal at Manly as a gamble. He has never been a star at any level or any grade...he might turn out to be a solid footballer is all.

Based on your info, is Schuster basically guaranteed a spot in the top 30 for next year?
 
Ben turbo is a gun from the games I watched him play, big unit, big motor and just a real footy player. Reminds me of a combination of jake and tom. He is talk like tom but will fill out more and knows how to get the ball over the line, but he is like jake that he competes for every play and works hard on the field ie Will be there in a covering tackle on out line, then wants to do first hit up on next play

Yeah no doubt as usual player managers talking out of there arse to get maximum value.
What's the latest on thommo and walker will they be retained ?
No doubt club keeps turbo and jake before anything else.
 
Maybe dez is looking at making a play for Tyson (who apparently wants a team and coach to take his game to another level?)
 
On this point, that gives a fair bit of extra coin -
Maybe not exact but working out the extra money 2020...
Api - $400,000
Perrett - $300,000 -
Hogko - $300,000
Elgey $250,000
Salary Cap - $350,000 + $200,000 increase for 2020

That's 1.75 million (approx)

Tom and Jake go to 1 million and $900,000 respectively already in 2020, so how much more will they climb ??
Exactly its not like we are paying the T bros peanuts this year and next. Their upgrades will hardly break the bank. Im sure we will be able to retain everyone we want and if a player was to leave then we would be signing an equal replacement anyway. Squad looks strong for the next several years
 
Here we go again.....let’s get rid of this player & that player & let’s sign this player & that player. Perhaps the Trbos could take less money to stay so we can keep all our players including Walker. We could save a $hitload of money & sign quite a few good players with the money on offer for the brothers! Perhaps we should let them go? Go after Papenhuyzen who we’d get for half of what Tom is asking.......just sayin’

Yeah.
Tom only plays half a season anyway and Jake's ill discipline cost us this years Premiership.

Jokes people, jokes!;):p:eek::rofl::giggle:

THommo on one year deal and Walker to stay. Lloyd Perrett will more than likely go and he was on more than he should have been.

We will have almost an identical team next year. Musgrove coming as a centre not a winger though...Parker will have his work cut out.
 
So........you're suggesting we are better off letting Jake and Tom go ?

I'm guessing you're not going to find too many that agree with you if that's your stance.

They've already stated they'll take less to stay. But you can't offer them 300K each and expect that to be ok. Let Walker go if we have to but Jake and Tom must stay.

They're just too important to this side to be let go.
Simon my post is tongue in cheek .....got attention though!
