Recruitment and retention

[Liverbird with Phins up]

What's with all these props suddenly becoming available? Christian Welch is another rumoured to be on the outer.

Great attitude. Busted motor

Storm very rarely let go of a player still in good condition to play first grade for a while. I know they lose some to higher bidders but signing Welch for next year would require Storm releasing him a year early.

Hard worker, not much impact. We have hard workers already. Welch might partner Flegler well. One to do a lot of work and one to save himself for strong charges and big hits.

RCG is still on the lookout for a new club but apparently doors are closing fast. He's asking for too much money and/or too long. I don't think Dolphins are interested at this stage but it might change.

I think they are monitoring as the saying goes.

daniel saifiti done deal to phins 200 plus paid by knights told his team after there game

 

[Equaliser]

Former NSW prop Daniel Saifiti’s move to the Dolphins is on the verge of being confirmed after a breakthrough in negotiations with Newcastle.

It is understood that after weeks of protracted talks between the Knights and the Dolphins, a deal is close to being struck. Saifiti is expected to have played his last game for the Knights after their 28-16 loss to North Queensland.

The NRL had to approve the reworked contract which will see Saifiti link up with the Dolphins until at least the end of 2027. The final stumbling block was for the two clubs to agree on a financial commitment from the Knights, given Saifiti still had two years left on his rich deal worth about $850,000 a season.

Newcastle are expected to tip in about $200,000 for the next two seasons for Saifiti to play elsewhere.

good result if we have made them bend to our demands.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Looks as though we will be paying 600k for DS from the Knights, with them paying 250k.

I think those are good numbers. I had a look at other club's pages that were interested, and I am reading a lot of, why aren't we paying 600k for him.

We might have won the financial battle on this one.

i would say brodie jones is incoming to hearing the latest offer from knights is not been accepted

 

[Red]

I know all the talk is about Saifiti joining us but what is he waiting for? Seems to me, it isn't done deal just yet. I know about the 10 day waiver period but if Newcastle have given him permission to sign elsewhere (as they certainly have), why would they be insisting on the cooling off period?

because its part in parcel with nrl transfer contracts they have to do it clubs n players have no choice in the cooling of period

They have a choice. The club who the player is currently contracted to can waive the cooling off period if it chooses.

that can only be done if both parties aggree ie like laui deal to tigers

guess the fact the knights pay some his contract still suggests to me they wouldn't

Why would the team signing the player need to agree to that? Only the club where the player is contracted at needs to agree to it.
