He could claim mental illness.
They might have to clear him and stump up a good part of his remaining contract!

Agreed very high price, I can barely wrap my head around it.

Big wigs have already met twice in the hub.
Its confusing, I copied his text exactly, It could've been written clearer lol.
He was spot on last year but, again no specifics so it feel like a kick in the balls.

Re: Tim Taranto Footy Classified
Higgins he will be 33 at the start of next season.
On the other hand Savage will be only 30.
Why would you chase a guy aged 33 when you can chase guys aged 23 ?

Re: Tim Taranto Footy Classified
Or it could be for Joyce, McKenzie, Dunstan and Parker ?? I would be more than happy to trade fringe players and draft picks for a couple of quality players.saintsRrising wrote: โThu 01 Oct 2020 7:40pmSAINT-LEE wrote: โThu 01 Oct 2020 6:57pm A mate, who is connected to the club, who has not failed me, yet never given me exact info says...

So
IN one GWS and one North player in
OUT four players out plus two picks.
with an exchange of picks (so could be plus or minus)
Hard to envisage who from the Saints that GWS would want, that we would be ok to lose and especially two such players.
Is say Taranto and Higgins for Lonie, Billings, Carlisle and Webster and picks a win or a loss?

Nah that's a good job getting it out mate. So our net position is 2 players and 2 picks lost. So it all depends on who the players are coming in and out, and which picks in and out.
It would have to be Toranto for that price, although his manager says the rumours of him leaving are BS:

If it's for 1 year, you'd think he'd have a decent output and give Byrnes and Bytel a few matches to develop in the reserves.

Unfortunately, those pieces might not combine to get a deal done as the Giants, the Saints and the player's manager insist Taranto is going nowhere, but supporters remain confident as Ted said " Lock him in. Told you you wouldn't be disappointed".

โScoopโ was a nickname Ted earned under his previous alias (or one before that) when he would post widely available info but with no source, claiming it was inside info he was able to get. Quite embarrassing!
Sorry again for the mix up, I meant no offence!

Re: Tim Taranto Footy Classified
Would hate to see Lonie go to be honest. Ironic since he was my whipping boy for his tenure under Richo.
Billings is the "big" name we will trade. You can all see it.
Carlisle yes.
Webster would be a loss. A big loss. But you gotta give up something.
I betcha Polec is the Nth player.

Paton is a young gun in the making. Just radiates quality. Beats the best small hands down PLUS generates drive with quality ball. all with pace.
Long could be anything or not, but I think will make it.
Paton I believe is a lock to 200+ games. Hopefully for us.
Personally unless GWS have a salary cap problem I cannot see him being on the table unless we offer a player whom GWS believe will make their 22 better. Gresham or Marshall are probably the only two on list that would temp them, and we need both.
Caldwell is another story entirely. Not contract and fringe due just how many talented mids that GWS have. If GWS keep him he may well remain not playing regularly.

I understand when i first came on here i stated Jye was keen to come to the club, and that was certainly the case at the time as our offer far outweighed the one from GWS . But today i have been told after returning to Sydney JC has informed us this arvo of his current intentions to stay at the giants. We threw a deal at him which in totality was upwards of 3m over 5 years. Clearly a disappointing result on face value but their will be advantages down the track with that money being spent equally and efficiently on our current crop of rising stars. Retention is going to be crucial to our success in the future.
In more positive news, Benny Paton will sign his deal shortly, Higgins is firmly in play, and Lethers, Gubby and the banker are doing their best to improve the list for next year and beyond. 3 days away from our first finals win in 10 years! can't wait.

Re: Tim Taranto Footy Classified
Perhaps the Taranto talk is a way of talking the spotlight away from our real target which is Caldwell.
Caldwell is clearly more gettable as he is out of contract, and would cost far less in trades.
Also he may be more interested as he hasnโt been getting a regular game at GWS.
