2022 Squad, Signings and Rumours Thread

[Whats Doing]

Zero tackle reporting that it was the Titans who tabled the $1milion contract to Smith, the Warriors are going to offer huge money considering they have missed out on Manu, no news on Roosters yet and Storm are next to no chance of retaining Smith

[DIEHARD]

I'd love to see Tino NOT be a Dolphins marquee player signing. Hope he gets sealed away.

Seems like we are very serious about Smith. That's huge money. What type of money are other hookers on?

[Hail Sezer]

Brandon Smiths dad has come out on facebook and responded to the zero tackle article - he’s said that the Storms max offer is 725k, and the Titans did not offer $1mil.

I’ve always been a bit wary of Zero Tackle just because they don’t do any actual journalism. Instead they just consolidate other media reports and draw their own conclusions

[Titslover]

To be fair HS, Michael Carayannis from The Daily Telegraph said that we offered him a mill, but yeah no journo’s are to be trusted and I’d imagine every salary figure is exaggerated. Did he say anything else, any hints about where he might end up?

A million makes for a good headline grab

[psmitty]

Could all be just political talk. He may not have been offered a million it might be 3 million over three years or 1.05million a year. I wouldn't read much into what he says. Not that I trust the journalists to get it right either.

[Mr Bods]

If anyone suggests Tyrone May I will permanently block them.

The latest from the Shane Smith facebook comments investigation unit:
-despite reports, the Warriors have not submitted an offer at all
-Cowboys have submitted an offer

[willhelm]

Taylan May anyone?

[GCTTSD]

Interesting from the cows when they have Robson and cotter, we should be pushing for one them two aswell

-Father Smith reporting Brandon's preference is to stay at Melbourne, but not unless they guarantee he is their 9. (In other words, he doesn't want to play 13, and the rotation with Harry Grant probably isn't on the cards). An increased offer won't matter.

Melbourne will choose Grant, which means Smith is goneskis

Remember when DCE's mum was posting stuff about not backflipping?

Not comparable here mate

I wonder what mrs Cherry is doing these days

[5 Year Contract]

To me the cheese would be the final part of the equation for us. Apart from that what else do you think they are looking for in 2023. A decent centre? Apart from the mystery around the halves this has been a pretty stress free off-season (in contrast to day the eels who look like losing a good chunk of their guns).

We have locked up he absolute critical parts of our team (pending Tino) and honestly the club really needs to be commended for it. We know we have a good 3-4 years with the same young core so we just need the missing pieces
