New signings to be announced #nextweek

So if the cap rises, the salary per player will rise but the extra money doesn't change. If they have 10% spare cash at the moment, after the rise it is still only 10%. The benefit would be negligible and would be cancelled out by the fact that every other club got the same increase therefore the player values increased and you will have to spend more for the same players than you would have pre increase.

Sounds like a piece on the Australian housing market from the FR.
 
Give us Boyd any day.

Not if you've seen the size of him nowadays. Could use him to run laps around.

Don't we have anyone in PR or advertising who can tell us the optimum day of the week, probably even the best time of day, to make your NRL announcement get maximum exposure? When we learn that, we can relax until the hour is nigh!
Do you want an actual response...
 
As mentioned a number of times Thompson is 29.....born 24 / 8 1988 so we're not getting a 30+ player! We're getting a player in the peak of his career!

pardon me the + was a bit premature. 30 in August of his first year, if he is signed.
means we should all be a lot more forgiving of Curtis Sironen then.

He has 6 years to be at the peak of his powers? I'm not sure that the Silvertails can wait that long.

Thompson is a good 1st grader, and if anyone thinks his best years are in front of him, please have a look a small bridge I have for sale between Milsons Point and the Rocks. A bit old, but its at the peak of its powers too.

We are severely lacking in experience and mongrel. We had the least experienced side of the top eight teams and less than many of the bottom eight.

Its not like Thompson has been on a downward spiral in terms of form; in fact, he probably had close to his best season this year. He is aggressive, a strong defender, a good edge runner and consistent - all the things we lack in that position.

He will be an excellent signing for us.

So was Nate Myles.

Nate still looked a little past it. Thompson just had a brilliant season, and his stats match, even better, some of the best second rowers in the game. We need his experience as well, as was mentioned

Nate was a current SOO and Australian player at the time. A tough no nonsense forward.
He became Mr Plod.

I'm not saying Thompson will become Mr Plod MkII, but if we think he will take us from 6th to top 4 challenging for title, .....
