Marquee...Your Shopping List : Thu Jun 04, 2015 7:56 am  
(You've got £100,000-175,000 to spend on a marquee signing, who heads your shopping list? Sorry no bread,milk or cheese today)

RD shopping list.

SBW
Greg Inglis
James Graham

Not halfbacks but either of these would certainly make a significant difference in our team.

Well technically we've got as much as we want to spend on a marquee signing, only £100k or £175k counts on the cap.

That being said, any decent halfback with a kicking game and leadership ability or get Cooper back.

Re: Marquee...Your Shopping List : Thu Jun 04, 2015 8:51 am  
You haven't got £100k or £175k to spend on a marquee signing. You've got whatever you need to spend and only £100k or £175k will count on the cap. There's no one we can sign that would fit in the £100k bracket anyway, unless you think Tyke is worth re-signing as a marquee player (or giving Ben Currie new terms as the marquee player).

Assuming that Moran will pay what it takes to get the sort of player we need then the list is short and exclusively made up of half backs with one exception....

Shaun Johnston
Cooper Cronk
Jonathan Thurston
Greg Inglis

If none of the above is available, would you offer Kevin Brown £500k to walk out on his Widnes contract? Are we that desperate?

Thanks for explaining. I'm sure I ain't the only one who's ignorant to the workings.

Regardless of the marquee ruling, I would personally like the following players at wire (and none are too unrealistic)

1. Ukuma Ta'ai
2. Zeb Taia
3. Scott Dureau
4. Fetuli Talanoa

Is Moran paying transfer fees directly? I remember he put the cash up for Westwood and Nat Wood but I was under the impression the club was paying all transfers and wages. After all we have just posted a huge operating profit and I hope we our position is not reliant on one kind mans generosity

So only £100/175 k counts on the cap & there is no ceiling to what a club can spend ,limited only by the depth of the sugar daddy's pockets ?

Some club's will benefit while others fall further behind unless they too can get financial investment. The RFL have been working for years towards the idea of the level playing field for SL & this idea risks derailing that goal.

The club has to meet certain criteria in regards to income/expenditure also so we don't have more Bradford's.

Well yes, I suppose that's true. The Board might want some guarantee though. He is majority shareholder, isn't he?

Apperently we are chasing a mix of halves and forwards in the NRL, now as to whom i dont know. But... Cronk would be my dream signing, he could split teams in two!
