Sio Siua Taukeiaho Signed

[D- voice]

What's calculated about signing a player that said he was done as an NRL player and went for a holiday in France where he could barely stay fit? It's pure casino. The club just isn't capable of pulling off anything better at this point.

As always the ultimate optimist
You must be one of many who believes that the English poodle Thompson was a bargain at $850k a season

 

[Cartel]

Agreed, 500k for 2 seasons is too much, nevermind 500 per season

No way on this planet Gus is paying him 500k per season

We're paying about that for Sutton.

I don't believe it

 

[bradyk]

I don't believe it

I didn't want to believe it either because you just wouldn't sign him for that under and circumstances.

It's the reported amount from the SMH tho



This deal is up there with Napa bad. I'm a big Gus fan but it's the truth. These are the types of decisions that have held us back over the past years.

 

[D- voice]

Why is he going to play well though? I don't get it. How the fuck are you guys so positive ffs.

Here is the trick, we have to think positive to become positive !!!
Sadly we are so used to being negative...

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I don't believe it

It's what's been reported both here and in England. Gus also talked Sutton up a fair bit so I don't think it's too far off the mark.

Figures given out by the media are - guesstimates

No one knows the figures players get other than the clubs themselves

I don't agree with some of his signings, but I doubt any media outlet knows what players are getting

That screams to me now Pangai was on 850k or 900k+ with us then he retired and now it’s 700k

Broncos were still topping up his salary when he played for us.

We will never know but that's all we can go off with for now.

There's no better source of information when it comes to play salaries unfortunately so if you're going to jump into these sort of conversations they need to be used.

One of the journos reported today the reason we haven't announced SST is because the Dogs are still negotiating with Catalans on the release (transfer fee by the sound of it). We're f..king mad if we pay 1 cent. They should thank f..k that after managing only 7 games this season someone else is stupid enough to take him off their hands.

Probably negotiating a player swap with RFM now is my guess otherwise this entire banning him from pre season makes fuck all sense if he’s going to be apart of the 30 man squad this upcoming season.

Well, most people on here were chucking a fit yesterday because we didn't sign him and that he was supposedly going to the roosters. It shows the lack of intelligence on this forum

May have played 7 games in the season but was imo their best player in the semi and played well in the final as well.

 

[The DoggFather]

So have we actually signed this broken dud?

Hes still tossing up if he wants to swap escargot and red wine for garlic chicken and arak..
