So how much have we got for him then ?
No idea mate. We turned down 260k so it's at least that much. And okay Lurcher lol, Trueman will be wearing primrose and blue for 2022.
If a club has offered £260k for a player who is only contracted until the end of 2022, we have got a very good deal.
He's good, but he's no Rangi Chase.
That's not to say I want him to leave, but it's sport and players come and go. It would be a shame for him to leave after we have given him the opportunity to establish himself as a SL player, but if we get lots of money for him (and that is reinvested in the playing squad) then we might actually be a better team. We could use that cash to tempt Theo Fages, for example.
but we have an history of taking money for a player then only spending half or less of it.

I agree.
I’d be telling Warrington 300k or no less than 275k and he’s yours.
We have to be firm on this.
Trueman is contracted for next year, so if Warrington want him so much, dig in and demand 300k

That’s my worry.
Will the money go back into the playing staff....doubt it very much.
Some might but a lot won’t.

Tamworth Tiger wrote: 16 Apr 2021, 11:01 No idea if you’re right or wrong. If Trueman wants out and we get a good chunk of cash for him I can live with it provided it goes Ito strengthening the squad, we keep the rest of the spine in place and the new coach can take us forward.
That's the key point in this transition once Powell as gone will the squad be improved like it needs to be and will the full salary cap still be spent for instance a top back rower be brought in to replace MM a top centre be brought in to replace Shenton if this happens the new coaching team will have every chance for mine

Look what happened with Gale reportedly went for £150,000 and we spent £70,000 on Richardson who is probably only on half the money Gale was on.
To attract a top half will cost big style , probably from Oz so unless we get a ridiculous offer for him I'd be keeping Truey and hope the new coach can persuade him to sign a longer deal.

Chill sonny

My fears are based on the history of the club and how we always seem to be in a cycle of "boom or bust".

Am I not allowed and opinion and why have you asked me to back my opinions up and not all the others?

never mind sonny, you had your two minutes fame

If this is true, probably not, I wouldn't begrudge Trueman a shot down under. He's more chance of bettering himself in aus than he ever has over at dire.

The important thing is if there is any move to Australia, Is we have a clause in his contract for first refusal when he comes back.

Personally I’d say it’s a year or two too soon for that move

Ultimately plenty of players head from us to bigger clubs for better chances of international appearances and NRL gigs, Right now however I don’t see how Warrington would offer more than we do.

If we're going to lose JT, then it may aswell to the highest bidder. Let them and Warrington get in to a bidding war if they want him that much. I would much prefer to lose him to Warrington than Wigan mind.

Fantastic news so that’s Wigan Wire and the NRL should be looking at 500k easy.
With saints having to sell 2-3 players let’s get Fages in.

I thought he’d already signed for Warrington.
Just saying.
