Player movements and rumours

I think we can all agree, that as long as the Tigers keep making horrible decisions we are all happy.

 

Apparently Tapau --> Broncos. Pretty solid signing imo as long as they didn't have to fork too much out.

 

Surely that means Palasia leaves early to the Titties. Haas, Carrigan, Flegler, Tapau and Jensen is a pretty good middle.

 

Well damn, Dolphins have signed Farnworth and Flegler from next year in the past 24hrs.

 

Yeah, I'd say that $800K has a lot to do with the amount of cash they have spare at this time, and would assume there are some pretty heavy conditions like minimum games played and playing well enough for international caps etc. for the back 2 years when they will have opportunities to sign other players coming off contract around that time.

As for the Broncos, they should be pretty pleased they held onto Jensen. He's a real solid hand. We aren't seeing a ceiling as high as Flegler's from him, but he's far more consistent week to week and doesn't spend 10 matches a season out via suspension. Plus he'd probably be on around half of what Dolphins are paying for Flegler.

 

Broncos should be using the money to get Fifita back now his value should be more realistic, and the edge stock at the club being putrid.

 

I think this has worked out well for Canberra. Them offering Wighton 1.1 over 4 at his current age and ability, was absolute madness. And Souffs paying a centre 900k is just as stupid, especially when their attack is already dangerous enough on that left. Wighton is gonna be an expensive decoy to be cut out for AJ to score.

 

In my experience identifying as an abo gets you more pay, not less.
