James Hooper reported on NRL 360 the deals are worth $4 million for the pair combined.

Lol fuck me
Mario tartak is having a laugh

Never gonna compete with 500k a season for 4 years for both of them

He killing it right a million a year in your cap for two players which one has played 5 games of first grade.

With this type of recruitment the tigers are going to at the bottom for another 10 years.

The two kids have only played 5 first grade games between them to bank a 4 year @ $500k a season each deal. Their manager is an Absolute magician

Only seen them in the U19s SOO, but the one that plays second row, looked pretty good, however that could just be because he is bigger than everyone else, which won't be the case in the NRL. Anyway could almost justify 500K for him, overs but could work out. The other though an unproven halves player is just crazy. Gus probs helped drive up the price which might help us land a big fish for 25 but not 24.

Yeah that's crazy money when they're still so unproven even if both have a lot of potential. Hopefully it doesn't backfire on the Tigers like it usually does.

It’s no different to dogs paying $500K for KO

500k was a transfer fee mate, he is on less in the cap.

The difference is that they're paying 500k each for 4 years for both of them. The KO transfer fee wasn't as big as reported but still a decent chunk. That was a one time fee though.. Oloapu would be on half the salary of the Fainu's.

Still a disgusting piece of business no matter how you look at it. 500k transfer fee (or any significant sum) for an uncapped player is unheard of. Not to mention he’s not yet even first grade standard

Why? Are you jealous you don’t have that sort of coin to throwaway to get a club to release a player? If it has no bearing on the cap, who tf cares what they spent?! Oh that’s right you don’t, because all you’re here for is to troll.

Funny coincidence that Gould has suddenly shown an interest in visiting the stabber at the same time the other two brothers have been offered a release.

Definitely wasn’t taking a stab in the dark with this approach

He’s lucky we paid for his flight down he is that bad

 

[chihuahua dog]

500k gets ya a gold toof apparently

Question is who does Gus want from the tigers…

Nice gesture by Gould, sure players fuck up when young but they dont stop being people after being hammered, we all hurt.

Who gives a fuck if it's out of uncle Arthur's back pocket. He probably spends more than that at the brothel every month.
