Brent Webb
Not much of a rumour, but was reading the homepage and it read this ..
the Tigers as they were expecting to lose current fullback Stuart Donlan to Leigh for next season and they also turned down the chance to sign Brent Webb from Leeds Rhino's.
Since when did we turn down a NZ international who is stated as the best fullback in the world?
I once heard of this news but the statement says 'turned down'!
Is this true, or is someone frickin kiddin me?
Seriously someone answer me this, since when have we been in a position to turn down players such as Brent Webb?

I have aswell a few times infact, actually heard Leeds wanted Mcgoldrick or something and instead we could of had Webb .. How true i have absolutely no idea. Could swear i heard this news on the forum!Flat Capper wrote:Could've sworn I'd seen this rumour several times.
But then again you always after doubt people when they say that Brent Webb (accordingly best full back in the world) may be coming or rumours of the matter spread!
But to actually here we've turned him down is sickening and asks massive questions?!
Can anyone shed light on the matter?

yes folks its true, another wonderful Cas pecker up.
I was told Brent Webbs agent offered him to cas, once they heard what certain cas players are getting for next season and beyond.
Because the club had done some of these stupid deals Brent was offered for 115,000 per season.
I dont know how long for but Cas or our CEO turned it down, and there excuse was couldn't afford the salary cap due to other players on stupid 4 year deals.
I would love to have watched a world class FB play in a tigers shirt and im sure he would have boosted the profile of the club aswell as season ticket sales and cas have marketed it well with him being a rhino coming to cas.

Seen as it is my report i will explain
Brent Webb was trying to negotiate an improved contract with the Rhino's and unfortunately they are renown for their tight budget so told him if he wanted more cash to look elsewhere, He offered himself to Cas for 115k a year -- about 10k more than Mcgoldrick is reportedly on -- This is 100% true - brent webb could have been at cas
Richard Wrights answer to me when quizzed was We had to think why Leeds wanted to let him go and why Leeds wanted Mcgoldrick in return
Now seen as both players were out of contract there would have been no reason to let goldy go -- But IMO it would have been the best business the club have ever done getting Webb for Mcgoldrick
I was told though the club consulted Awen Guttenbeil about the signing and he declined saying we didnt need Brent Webb as we had Ryan Mcgoldrick - Now this bit may be a tad off the mark but i doubt it -- The rest is true -- We did reject Brent Webb

I think we really need somebody on board who can sort our finances out. Over the next 3 seasons every club is going to be on even terms so getting the best contract out of players will be crucial.
So far it's been rumoured that Korki is on 80k, McG on 105k, Sherwin again around 100k if we sign Hudson and that's correct then another 100k can be added on.

Dont go over the top - He isnt the best but he is a top international and i know mate -- The decision is possibly the most ridiculous i have ever heard - But it is trueWHELDON-ROAD-END wrote:CHRIST
The though of just having Brent Webb in our number 1 shirt is great.
I mean you cant blame Guttenbeil for not wanting to get rid of one of is mates and team mates can ya.
But having the best fullback in the world on your team seems for Cas just too much to ask for

And i would put him in the top 3 then at least but still someone of is calibre being let go.
I just hope we can make up with Moi Moi coming as you said may be a possibility, hope your right!

Brent Webb is a very good player, but there are a good few fullbacks playing in the NRL that are better than him.

I also heard the Guttenbiel tale, but don't know how true it is or whether it's just rumour. The rest of Dettorimans post though is totally right and he's also right when he said we'd no need to let McGoldrick go if we didn't want to. We could have had them both.dettoriman wrote:Seen as it is my report i will explain

The club have not denied it and in fact have confirmed it to some When I asked about Webb at the AGM, RW merely replied "I don't discuss individual players".
I agree there are some better full backs in OZ, it's a position over there where there is a plethora of riches, Hunt, Bowen, Slater etc etc to name just some. However Webb is still top class and as far as I'm concerned our lot wanted shooting for missing out on a golden opportunity. Still when you pursue a policy of not having anyone on the BOD with any idea when it comes to these things, it's what you get.
So I said to the Taxi driver, "King Edwards Close". He replied "It's alright we'll lose him at the next set of lights".

Fact is we haven't got Webb we have Mcgoldrick who on is day can play as well as anyone and we know it!
Webb would of been fantastic, talk of the town kind of signing but instead we stayed with Mcgoldrick which in certain games as showed why.
Would of been nice to have Brent this season alone he as been up there with Paul Wellens and im most certainly sure he he is the 2nd top try scoring FB behind Greenshields.
Mcgoldrick also has is fair share of things as in the SL Stats on engage SL site, he comes in the top 4 of nearly everything.
So there's pros and cons to both players games.
