McMeekan

[nottinghamtiger]

Money money money if he want to go just go. I'm sick to death of players who come to our club and enhance their performance 100 percent and stab us in the back and move on. When will we learn.

And when will supporters realise that a rugby career is a short one, so players want to get out of it what they can, whilst they can?

I don’t begrudge anyone who “uses” our club in that way. To me, it means that they’ve performed well whilst playing for us, which is all I ask for.

He’s had one good year.
With maybe a dozen good games dotted here and there.

So are we bothered if he moves on if he’s so inconsistent?

As with many retention and recruitment decisions, I don’t think it’s a matter of whether we want to keep him or not; it’s a matter of how much percentage of the salary cap he takes up and whether he is worth it.
I’d like to keep McMeeken. But if he’s asking for more money, I could completely understand the club not giving him that. He’s not done anything to warrant a pay rise since he signed his current deal towards the end of 2017. If he can get more money than we think he’s worth at another club, that’s fine.
On a more general note, I wish the club were a little more ruthless with retention. If we want to keep him, offer him a deal now and say he has until the end of April to sign it. If he wants to take his chances of getting more money elsewhere come May, he is more than welcome to do so - but don’t expect our offer to still be there. If he wants to test his worth on the open market, we’ll so the same from the club’s point of view and may well offer his wage to someone else. This would leave him in a weak negotiating position with other clubs.
We saw what happened when Latrell Mitchell thought he could hold Sydney Roosters to ransom - the club took a stand, withdrew their contract offer and he ended up having to take less money than he was offered in the first place. Wakefield did it with Hampshire too - he thought he was worth more than he was so he left the club. He then signed on a lower deal than he was originally offered when he realised that he was in a weak negotiating position.

Personally I’m not bothered.
Like you say he’s far to inconsistent.

I’ve accepted we are a feeder club.
Top clubs with plenty of ££££££’s will always be sniffing.
We bring players into the club as nobodies, Powell makes them somebody then the rich clubs say thanks daryl, we’ll have him.
Sadly it will always be like that.
The ones we keep are usually our own cas lads, for example.
Holmes
Milner
Clare
Shenton
So there you go, don’t be to surprised in the next 2/3yrs trueman and Richardson will be off, with bigger contracts from the Richer clubs.
Watch this space.

Very few players have left cas and gone on to be better players maybe him and anybody else should think on that ,personally if him or anybody else like Gale want away -see ya later -weve always brought good players into cas and will continue to do that

McMeeken is a good age for Cas to retain, that is my only concern, getting someone better at that age to mould into our structure.
Letting Gale go for cash was a no brainer, he was the wrong side of 30 and long term injury risk. Richardson was primed to replace Gale. Who replaces McMeeken?

They can be as rich as you want makes no diff really. Can only spend the same cap as everybody else

Makes you wonder with some clubs.
Catalans.....falou will be on Very good money.
Maloney....Very good money
S Tomkins.....good money.
McIlorum.....good money.

Warrington.
Hull fc have brought in some bloody good players who won’t be cheap.

Just seems some clubs bring in big names players who won’t come cheap.

[Scoopage]

Think you can go 2 ways with your squad.like us with strength in depth,27/28 good players with 2/3 very good players,or the saints,wire,hull root where cap as gone into 20/21 very good players and 2/3 excellent high calibre players.imagine hull wire and saints losing 9/10 of there starting 17.they wouldn’t be able to compete.

[ERG2012]

Doesn't Meeks also get topped up with a central funding payment as well?

[Mucky1978]

50/50 to play Friday.

[TT Tiger]

If he plays Friday we start 1 sub down as he’s not in the 21

Catalan get away with it by paying thier French players peanuts, think this was stated by escare after he left.

Chayse Blair looks like a good fit to me.

Not going badly is he, but is he the long term solution. We have stability at the club now (last few years, bar the odd clown doing something stupid), and we haven't looked better. Mind you, nobody is bigger than the club and if the right offer comes in, then everyone has a price.

[Mysterio]

Blair would need to work on an offload

[Fumper27]

Blair would need to work on an offload

Doesn’t need one when he simply tramples over defenders and scores like he did last week

[Jazzman]

I think he is the right age and stature for a second row. Probably not going to be fast enough for an out and out centre but big enough and strong to punch holes in the line and get the backs moving.

Easy for any club to stay under the cap, no matter who they sign....................until the day they upset their accountant, that is!
