Does the little turd still call it inside mail or whatever garbage he used to say?
Could be that just wants to keep the narrative as it is to avoid new talk and new disruptions. Negotiations are done behind closed doors.Well he does love a good lie. Doubt it though as i don't see how lies would help or be allowed in that situation.
Oh wow did not know that...well I guess that is why they pushed Mbye out so quick.It has already been added up according to Hill, that is the point a few of you guys are missing.
I don't know, Greenburger was there and you'd think he wouldn't let the club flat out like about the clubs position. I do think the club leakes the bs cap info tonthe media in the lead up the the meeting.Could be that just wants to keep the narrative as it is to avoid new talk and new disruptions.

Really if you look at our players and add up the salaries individually, even with the big names on a mil, you will struggle to get to the cap limit.
You are assuming tigers are paying his full salaryWith $800-$900k now available if you were the boss how would you spend it?
With Cogger and Meaney on their way to the club it is obvious that we see them 2 as the future 7 and 1. This still leaves 6 and 9 as a priority. With that in mind we could buy 2 players of around $400k each for 6 and 9, or put faith in the halves we have at the moment in Lewis, Frawley and JMK, to compliment Cogger, and go all out for a hooker. $800k for Cook (even though we could've kept him for much less) seems to me to be the best way to spend the cash. I would love a Rockstar fullback or Cleary, but in reality at this point, unless we can medically retire Foran and have an extra million to spend it is only 1 player we can buy. If we free up Foran's money then I would go all out for Cleary. In my opinion no other 7 or 9 are worth the money, even though they would all be better than what we currently have in those 2 positions.
For the record, despite his drop in form I would keep Woods. We will need his size and leadership when we have no experience in our spine next year. Mbye's and Foran's money should be enough for us to fill our 7 and 9. The positions we desperately need filled.
Thoughts?
Woods doesn’t need replacing our spine doesI would buy another prop to replace woods.
Won’t happen, but he’s pretty much the only high profile player I’d bring to the club. He definitely won’t be a dud like Cronk or Foran.Thinking out of the box a bit, Cam Smith still has not resigned with Melbourne. If Bellamy goes he has no reason to stay so if u could get him at a good price for a year or two with no rep football might be worth doing. Means u can bring in some younger halves who he can teach game management to(since he is pretty much onfield coach at Melbourne)
I think the Tigers are paying zero $$ for MBye for this year.Surely mbye leaving half way through year frees up approx $300-$400k surely some players are getting extra this year so we have more next year
He will re-sign with the Broncos, to a long term contract.Tevita Pangai Junior will be great buy, his still off contract for next year & beyond
I'd almost bet my arse that Mbye will play to the fullness of his ability and apply some effort every time he plays against us for the next few years and never when he's not playing against us.I bet Mbye has a man of the match parting gift performance for us tomorrow ♂
It's a very poor idea for the NRL to try to supplement teams that aren't financially stable by hindering clubs that are. If they had any sense they'd work hard at ensuring that every club funneled more cash into development systems and allowed free reign with spending for the NRL. So many players that were attributes to the NRL have left the game because they displayed enough ability to boost their price tags beyond manageable levels for many clubs. I think a situation has grown where many clubs scramble madly to recruit emerging players now because in reality you might have two years where player managers need their young charges to establish themselves before they can chase big money for them. So clubs that do put in the finances and effort into building gun lower grades usually end up having to make some tough decisions about who they're going to keep and elevate. We've failed badly here in the past few years.the salary cap is a fucking joke it has never worked and will never work i dont care what anyone says
I sincerely doubt thatI think the Tigers are paying zero $$ for MBye for this year.
That was the deal so they pick up his full contract from next year on.
We should be locking up Lewis & Martin who as yet are not signed.
Then sit back and wait and see who comes on the market.
Sign young potential players cheaper.
Our situation isn’t going to be solved in a year. We need to build slowly. Or we will become another Parramatta. Forever chasing.
