Player Movements and Rumours 2012

[Ari Gold]

Look at what's going on with Sandow at Parramatta or better yet what happened to Asotasi at Souths. Both accepted huge contracts at a relatively young age & their careers really suffered as a result.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

I'm sure regardless of his salary Te'o is going to try really hard to be a good player for Souths. Might as well get paid great money whilst doing it, rather than just good money.

 

[OXY-351]

1.2 million over 3 years(what ever that is after tax)

$2.20, if you inlcude the carbon tax

 

[Meat77]

I'd be absolutely stunned if he was on 400K. There's no way anyone would see him as that sort of "marquee" player in my book - not even Souths surely

 

[Alec]

It does sound like a little much, but it also sounds like the salary cap is going to rise quite a bit each year.

On the Footy Show Erin Molan said the rumour going around is the Broncos didn't offer Te'o a contract.

She contacted the Broncos about it & she said they wouldn't comment on it.

 

[Broncoman]

Dissapointing that Ben is leaving. Thanks for your services.

I'm finding it very hard to believe that they wouldn't offer him a renewed contract :shake:

 

[Kaz]

Maybe they knew they couldn't compete with the offer from Souths & didn't want to insult him.

If it's true, that he is getting $400,000 at Souths no wonder they didn't offer him a contract.

 

[Fozz]

I think it probably went down like this.

Gee: Alright, Benny. We're prepared to offer you a contract. Let's talk numbers.
T'eo: Well, Souths are offering me *insert number here*
Gee: they want to pay you HOW MUCH?!?!
T'eo: I know, LOL! I'm going to take the money and run.

 

[Kaz]

More likely this happened.

Gee: Alright, Benny. We're prepared to offer you a contract. Let's talk numbers.
T'eo: Well, Souths are offering me *insert number here*
Gee: they want to pay you HOW MUCH?!?!
Te'o: So how much are you willing to pay me.
Gee: See ya, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[noisetheory]

mcguire on the game plan last night mentioned how souths are attracting guys like teo to the club because they want to play with the likes of inglis,taylor, *whoever else he said cant remember*.

maybe he forgot taylor is leaving or there is something to be read into it.

 

[mrslong]

he said Isaac Luke. therefore it was a bunch of bollocks.

 

[Son Edo]

They better keep Glenn.

 

[Bucking Beads]

They better keep Glenn.

If you mean Alex Glenn then I think he won't be let go and we will do everything to keep him. Wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors had a red hot crack at him though.

 

[OXY-351]

Didn't Teó's manager get suspended?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Didn't Teó's manager get suspended?

Yes

 

[Foordy]

Didn't Teó's manager get suspended?

yeah, but he works for one of the biggest sports agency firms, they would have just got one of the other agents to make the deal. (or Te;'o did it himself, like he did when he first came to us)

 

[nathano11]

I wonder how the broncos would approach it if Glenn got offered 400-500k at the Warriors? It all depends on how much the salary cap increases by then though but huge offers are going to be thrown at most of our side when they are up for renewal
