You can’t buy an entire squad you need to develop players and most of those players were developed long before 2013 we had 6 of the 17 who played the grand final were part of the 2009 wooden spoon team the likes of Maloney, Jennings and SBW didn’t put in the hard yards with the clubLast edited by Bates; 07-08-2023, 11:39 PM.

To quote Peter Peters - Some on here would advocate signing the magna carta if it was a player.
It's a no from me - develop the youngsters in the system
Won't be able to match the following in any case if he does decide to exercise his option to leave the Titans
The Canterbury Bulldogs are reportedly set to make a bizarre offer for Gold Coast Titans captain Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, with a $4 million contract and a share in a pub on the table.

Tedesco, Keary & Brandon Smith is probably 25% of the cap.
I think the main squad issues lie internally with the talent we are bringing through or rather haven't been bringing through over the last 5yrs.

The Titans captain is on $900,000 this season and has a ratchet clause in his deal, linked to the NRL’s salary-cap increase, that will see the Origin and Test star become a $1 million player next year.
The Titans are hopeful no rival club will be able to beat his Gold Coast salary. Picture: Getty Images.
His salary for the 2025 and 2026 seasons will then rise to $1.1 million annually, a wage hike that will force potential suitors to pay at least $1.2 million a season.
The Roosters were one club interested in Fa’asuamaleaui – they made preliminary inquiries last week – but quickly withdrew when they learned of his pending $1 million contract.
Mammino said Fa’asuamaleaui had enormous respect for Titans senior advisor Mal Meninga and added he had no interest in stringing NRL clubs along.
“The reality is it will be hard for clubs to afford what Tino is on,” Mammino said.
“We’ve had no formal offers at this stage.
“I’ve told the clubs, ‘I don’t want to lead you down a gully and stuff you around, we will only talk if things are genuine’.

Surely with JWH and Gus on the way out, their wages would more than cover Tino’s mooted $1m ask?Exonerate the West Memphis Three - www.wm3.org

If you look at the Roosters NRL squad
Cap is 12.1 million and the minimum wage is 120k - not sure how many would be on the minimum wage though if any
Estimated wages for 2023- Tedesco - 1.1 million
- Toops - 400 k
- Billy Smith - 200 k
- Manu - 800 k
- Suaalii - 750 k
- Keary - 800 k
- Walker - 300 k - rises to 500 k for 2024/25
- JWH - 750 K
- Brandon Smith - 800 k
- Collins - 700 k
- Crichton - 600k
- N Butcher - 400 k
- Radley - 600 k
- Hutchinator - 200 k - Off Contract at end of 2023
- Turpin - 200 k - Off Contract at end of 2023
- E Butcher - 300 k
- Sitili - 400 k
- Watson - 300 k - Off contract at end of 2023
- Momirovski - 300 k
- Allan - 200 k - Off Contract at end of 2023
- May - 200 k
- Paulo - 200 k - Signed with Manly for 2024
- Wong - 200 k
- Whyte - 200 k
- * Brown - 120 k - Off contract at end of 2023
- Baker - 200 k - Signed with Brisbane for 2024
- Toia - 200 k
- * Lodge - 120 k - Signed with Manly for the remainder of 2023.
Estimated wages of 11.49 million for 28 players
Doubt that many would be on minimum wages so being paid above that - between 130 to 200 k or so
* Estimated what the Roosters may be paying Brown and were paying Lodge since their former clubs were still paying them
12.1 mill less 11.54 mill leaves an estimated 560 k plus NRL Long serving player allowance of 250k - 810 k spare
2024 - New Signing and extensions
Leniu - 525 k
Young - 500 k
Murphy - 300 k
JWH ?
Toops ?
Billy Smith ?
