Holy shit, Battyman. You need to bring this up at the next shareholder meeting. If you have evidence they're keeping the cap situation secret from the majority owner, this is a MAJOR scandal. Even if it just came to you in a dream, it's still FRONT PAGE NEWS.
Jump in the Battymobile. There's not a minute to lose.

It's a filler story that's just joining these dots you already know:
1. Haas is Kangaroo standard. Check.
2. He's "criminally" underpaid. Check.
3. Any club would want him at the coin he's on. Check.
4. Need to fill space.
5. Story.

Badel already covered it a few days ago. Said this in the context of competing interest from the Dragons and Bulldogs. Sounds like they're playing negotiation games:
"It is understood the Tigers were ready to table a two-and-a-half year deal for an immediate transfer, but Pangai Jnr’s asking price, said to be in excess of $700,000 a season, shapes as an impediment."

I expected as soon as i had a go at his heroes
Billy is off contract in three months- why would you do a deal for him? Simpkins is signed until end of '24 and just signed the extension why would they change their mind a few weeks later and not want him?

Would it be because they re-signed Liddle as well? I have no idea, genuinely asking simply because the Tigers seem to have as well organised a plan as we do.

the moving guys on ASAP makes no sense unless... a) they are causing dramas among the group or b) we will be making some signings before August 1 for this year

I don't know about that ... because our plan is coming together quite nicely right now.
so far we have two important pieces locked in. a game managing half and an experienced edge backrower.
could use a hooker and some depth, a fullback would be a luxury as well
Milford?
Better make it Yen.

Sorry, I meant as good a plan as we used to have, wrong tense. I have full trust in Donuts and Ikin, and I really like the three recruits we have coming on board, all target an area of need. I also haven o issue with our outs other than the way Kevvie has handled it all to be totally blunt. I feel like management has gotten their act together even if it won't lead to being a contender for a year or two yet. Even so, I feel they are trying to understandably work around Kevvie as opposed to working through him.

It makes me sick to think of all the money we will be paying to other teams next year for ex-Broncos to play for them.
DD and Ikin need to ensure that we no longer put ourselves in position where we are subsidising players for other teams, but more importantly, need to ensure that the marginal benefit we get from shipping a player like Lodge is worthwhile.
I like Lodge and I think we should have kept him ESPECIALLY if we are paying half his salary for the next 2.5 years anyway, but the move can't be judged in isolation... What is our plan for using the money we saved by offloading Lodge? Did it go to Capewell? Surely we have more room in the cap than that...
The constant flip-flopping, back and forth from Walters just muddies the water and makes things worse - as from the outside it looks like the club either has no clue as a whole, or Kevvie has no clue what the others in charge are up to.
It's going to take a fair while to fix this whole mess, let's hope DD and Ikin are up for it!

Maybe an unpopular opinion (probably been discussed here already) and I'm not sure what the asking price would be but I'd be happy to offer Tolman a 1 year deal, provided we're not paying overs.
I think he's one middle on the market that could offer our pack the grunt work we need without the thrills. Would be a good pro for guys like Flegler to learn from on the training paddock too.
At worst he's got a ton of experience, isn't a flog and would be handy depth. With Lodge gone and TPJ heading for the door, we need to at least get another serviceable middle forward that doesn't break the bank (like Finucane might).
