News Transfer bombshell: NRL’s highest-paid prop requests release

[Bulldogs09]

Great comeback troll. Find another thread to play in. This one is for the grown ups

Yeh haas, Tino, shit even fisher Harris almost on this kinda coin and afb as good as that tier.

Nelson’s on 800k and these guys are a tier above.

Broncos, storm, panthers…. I’d say roosters had jwh on mega $ for years.

 

[Bringbackbaa]

Whoever gets him will need plenty of available cap money, I don't see anyone swapping a million dollar player for him,clubs tend to wanna keep them. The club who gets him will likely be paying freight on the player they let go,plus need the million plus for AFB

Yeah fair call. Equally tho AFB was a big part of the warriors plans moving forwards and so he leaves a big hole. They’ll need to feel as tho they can mitigate that as part of any transfer deal

 

[Heckler]

I'm hoping there's a transfer fee involved...surely that'll work in our favour??

 

[Nate DAWG]

AFB is an irreplaceable loss for them. Big minute forward leaders with footwork are fkn rare AF

Definitely. Gotta feel for The warriors. If they lose him. Losing Walsh 1 year and AFB the next

We’ve had close to this amount sitting on the sideline. Spending it on a metre eating middle is a no brainer. Plenty of cap space + position we need

 

[wendog33]

So many teams...almost all....have far better forward rosters and rep forwards in their team. They have managed it, so surely we can afford top knotch signings.

Tpj/Thompson safely ate 1.6mil.

Afb & may…. 1.6 sounds good swap for me.

 

[axeman23]

If the reports are correct, AFB is on $1m a season…. We’d have to be forking out $1.3-$1.5m for him to just pack up and come over surely?

So what? We have the space! Hell, we still need to reach the salary FLOOR, AFAIK... Just get him to sign on the dotted like before Gus finds another utility to spend it on!

 

[Papa Joe]

Laundy can offer him a pub

Fuck, Offer him 2!!!

 

[Kelpie03]

Would love to get my hopes up but won't just yet.

But he would be a God send for us.

Exactly what we need.

A good time for prayer my friend.

 

[bradtalo]

It's amazing this opportunity has even presented itself (and he wants to go to a Sydney club).

Time for Gus to really prove his worth / his salary and hit this one out of the ballpark. If he can't get this deal done I'll always have serious doubts about his value to us

 

[ddt192]

This is what I got told earlier today guys and gals

“Gus has been in discussions with Cows to take Taumalolo off their hands “

This is what I got told 5 mins ago

“The Taumalolo plan on hold, Gus is making direct enquires on AFB..If the Warriors let him go which looks likely Dogs going all in”

“The problem is Dragons are making him a priority now and I believe his parents live closer to Dragons HQ, it’s early days but dominoes will fall once the Warriors make their decision “

Thanks for sharing braz

 

[turveys asthma puffer]

Just looked him up. He turns 28 on Monday and is from Meadowbank. 3 years for $4M and don’t let O’meley any where near him at training.

 

[EXPLORER]

Fuck, Offer him 2!!!

He is exactly what we need

 

[Benno Bulldog]

From Zero Tackle…. Apparently they (dragons) have a spare million lying around

Look at the Dragons form on requests for immediate release, plus they terminated the guy. Dragons unlikely.

 

[MichaelM]

Aside from the fact he would be a massive signing it’s pretty shit that you can build a team around a marquee player, lock them down with a huge long term deal and then they can renege.

Even worse is if they end up at a top 4 team.

If there was one thing the NRL could do to make it a more equitable competition they should enforce a rule that players who break contracts cannot end up in the top sides!

 

[Benno Bulldog]

Warriors won't release him. Dogs need to look else where imo.

Their CEO pissed off another forward who didn’t want to be there recently, so I can see him letting it happen players have families.

 

[capt obvious]

Hopefully it eventuates and happens as quick as joshy curran!

 

[Cujo]

How have you known this? Is he related to your ex Tongan girlfriend that used to bash you?

With her 18” strap on?!?
