Probably just his manager trying to stir up interest. Our salary cap space for 2024 could well be spent before Thommo even returns to the field this year.
Its usually player managers leaking this sort of speculation, and if Luke has two of them its doubly likely.

38 games so far, at most another 12ish this year. 50% attendance rate over 4yrs whilst on reported big coin isn't really sustainable, even with the excuses.

Thank you Wigan, thank you!
800k....what a bargain!!!! We'll throw in a so called number 7 to go with him.

Ah don’t mention it! You're welcome.

Much love,
Gus.

We should be negotiating with the cheaper manager. The one that's not talking to Wigan.

Correction, there are good half’s available, there are no elite half’s available … how about we grab a good half & the coaches focus on making him elite ?
Who are the “good” halves available?

Assuming we have 800 freed up for next year, is there even a half available?
Brooks is the only recognisable half available for 2024 ....anyone else available? Unless we go for the half back from St. Helens who has stated wants to play in the nrl in 2025....then what happens to Oloapu?

At least thommo is getting offers and he hasn’t played a game this year.
How is Flanagan doing anyone flashing the cash at him ? Uber driver next career move.

target ben hunt if griffin gets the chop. Know he is contracted but Hunt is a big griffin supporter and is already making noises that he would not be happy under a new coach. Short term fix for a year or two then gives as a chance to sign or develop someone else.
7. Hunt
6. KO

Burton expansive centre roll, kicking involvement and can roam a bit. Perfection that.

Thommo won’t be staying regardless. I don’t see any Australian clubs paying half of what he is currently on.

I would be going all in and then some for Haas and someone like Trindall would be a cheapish option for 7 with the lack of other options. Maybe Keary if the Rooster’s chip in something.

Other than that sign from within

I’d keep him on a much reduced salary like half of what he’s on now. Not always his fault but he hasn’t been on the field enough
