News JIMMY BRINGS: All the inside mail on the NRL, delivered by James Hooper

[EB18]

Does anyone know how much the long serving player allowance is? And who qualifys for it. I'm mainly referring to Jackson. Is he egilable for it? If he is then his resigning isn't too bad. I'm sure Tolman might be able to get it as well but I know it's capped. So hopefully the club is smart (which I doubt) and pay most of Jackson's contract using that allowance. It's bascailly getting a player for free under your cap. Therefore I hope they don't resign Tolman and give all the allowance to Jackson.

$0.2 million – Veteran and Developed Player Allowance for eligible players who were either developed by the Club prior to becoming NRL players and / or have been a Top 30 player for at least 8 years at the Club or have been a Top 30 player for at least 10 years across the game

 

[Alexander the Great]

Maybe not but I’m only pointing out many said we hadn’t even tried to sign anyone and were a “do nothing” board

 

[Natboy]

Is that it.

Back to your tapestries.

Bet Wendy is wounded by that 'hurtful' remark.

I don’t waste my time with the old fool these days

You would think Jackson and Tolman are the only 2 that get it then. So moving forward 200k on Jackson's salary per year is payed via the allowance. Which isn't included in our cap. Better then nothing I guess.

Be prepared for a very good signing. All agreed on, just need the signature.

It's coming....

It’s $200k/year and yes, he qualifies for it under his contract beginning 2021. It’s either 8 years continuous service at one club or 10 years in the NRL. Jacko debuted for us in 2012, hence he qualifies. Of course it was a factor in his re-signing, 100%.

Come on dude, can you please give us a hint? Spine or outside back?

No one here knows who we're recruiting.

Some people would know but they might not want to post it on here which is fair enough

We have to sign a top notch #9 with leg speed through the middle a kid at the warriors who has been injury prone we could nab is Roache, an established outside back (at 22yo and 4 years under his belt) Cotric is our man and we need to sign Bateman as well as re-sign CHN. They will give us some creativity and attacking flair on the edges. A hooker will give us speed and presence through the middle and Cotric a big body set starter and finisher. Another prop with leg speed like Tupinoua from the Roosters also.

Let go of Elliot, Jacko can play in the middle.

1. Averillo
2. DWZ
3. Smith
4. Hoppa
5. Cotric
6. Foran
7. Wakeham
8. Napa
9. Roache
10. L Thompson
11. Bateman
12. CHN
13. Jacko

14. JMK / Katoa
15. Tupinoua
16. To'omaga
17. Topine

Get rid of Elliot, Sue, RFM, Cogger, Lewis, Montoya, Chricton etc

But we do know they will be on ‘overs’!!

The way players seemingly renege signing with us at the last moment, who would want to let on.

 

[Family Guy]

Hopefully its Burton or Cotric or B. Smith. Hastings would be good but he'd only be a second tier signing

 

[Noeasyday]

Did I say you should be content?
Not you but other negative people told us a million times the board was shit for not even trying to sign players. That’s my point

So now the board is shit for not being able to sign players. Same same.

 

[Noeasyday]

We’ve been very limited on what we could spend. You know that

And where we've spent money has been money wasted. The poor recruitment and retention in playing and coaching staff is the fault of the board.

 

[Natboy]

What after the convos you sent her.

Which ones?
