News Cowboys weapon Jason Taumalolo axed as Captain

[Freakzilla]

Ryan Sutton, Blake Wilson & Jeral Skelton for JT. Cowboys pay 500k a season for the last 2 seasons of his contract.

 

[D- voice]

I'm not sure he is worth 750k now, certainly won't be in 2 or 3 years at the rate he has been deteriorating

3 reasons why I'm not sure either
Duration of his contract, His age, His fitness levels and enthusiasm
The question is, How desperate are we for a prop ?
The other question, How desperate are the Cows and how much they are prepared to pay to let go of him ?

Not Wilson, can have the rest

Wilson is the 2nd backup back right now. We don't need him.

Not right now no. But would regret losing him imo.

As long as we have JAC & Kiraz he'll always be a backup.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

As long as we have JAC & Kiraz he'll always be a backup.

Ideally I see Wilson replacing Fox. In a year or so. Or alternatively if Critta has to play FB, Kiraz centre, Wilson wing. Just couldn't cop losing our best and most versatile reserve back

Kiraz can find an injury and Fox won't see out his contract.

Critta will play centre. Tracey & Xerri are the next 2 options.

I think Wilson is a little overrated. I'd rather Skelton than Wilson.

JT is more important than a backup winger who is already 24.

Time will tell I guess. Wilson is fit as fuck and to me seems to be faster and a better system player.

Better option, Sutton, RFM and Topine

He's already 24 though & isn't a NRL regular. If he is what gets us a good middle then I'm all for it. I'd trade JAC for JT but he moved from Melbourne because he wanted to be in Sydney.

Cowboys are loaded in the forwwards & need outside backs badly.

Doesn't matter, this trade is never ever happening lol.

 

[Dogs4eva13]

I can see a situation where Tracey plays fullback and Critta and Kiraz are the centres. CC likes Wilson may try to squeeze him in.

I can't see him wanting to leave really. But we are probably desperate enough to enquire. The cows would have to pay 400k in freight to make it a good deal for us

The Cows have had to upgrade and re-sign some players and I think their cap is under pressure. JT's salary is a liability on their cap so if they can free up let's say $700k then they definitely will offload him and at that price it's a bargain and not many clubs have it except for Dogs and maybe Dragons.

Demoting him from club captain is a way of saying mate, we want you, but we don't really. The Cows are going to ruffle his feathers or in this case squeeze hit teets a little so it won't surprise me if we hear about a meeting with his manager and Cows about his future.

Sure no clubs can approach him but we know this is crap, it happens indirectly and now the word is out (which the Cows want) clubs will be enquiring no doubt.

Gus should start to heat up the wok in the kitchen of the leagues club and put a little bit of beef in black bean sauce in front of JT and his manager.

Get it done Gus. The last time we had a JT at the club we won the comp. Hmm....

We had Jackson Topine last season...

 

[Nate DAWG]

He could still be good playing the simple role as a middle BUT.
$750k for 4 yars would be an extra BIG mistake in my opinion, I'd say $750K for 1 year or $500K for 2 years with options in our clubs favour for the remaining 2.
lets not ignore the fact that his form has gone down hill in recent years and he is likely to go down hill further and produce a NAPA like preformance for us.

Why would anyone give up a 4 year deal to a 2 year contract with a club option?
