GWS chasing Nathan Foley [rumour]

Greater Western Sydney have put an offer on the table for Nathan Foley. He's still yet to re sign with the Tigers.

:LOL
next twit

Nathan Foley is actually contracted until the end of 2012. Anyone know if GWS can still nab him?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

The guy has corrected himself about Foley being contracted...

"@mightytiges All I know is that there is an offer there to be considered. Hoping his contract status means they can't touch him now."

For there to be an offer for an contracted player it needs to put to the club first.

So any offer would have to be an offer of trade?

Pick in the mini super dooper underage draft?  :whistle

Hey guys, long time reader.

Obviously I didn't know Axel was contracted, but it makes our situation a little better.

GWS will have to trade for him of course.

What I do know, as I tweeted to mightytiges, is that there has been an offer of some sorts.

RFC are aware of this but want Axel to stay, and he is definitely not on the trade table.

GWS obviously have next year to get him as well, when he comes out of contract.

Regardless, I think he'll stay, he's a good clubman.

Go Tiges.

Yeah they can still get uncontracted players at the end of 2012.

Welcome mate.

In all honesty, if it got us a pick in the 17yo mini draft, I would trade him in a heartbeat. That is in effect getting next years Pick #1-5 for Axel.

Its a clear decision for mine. Play hard to get the best price. That means a pick in the U17s draft and I would also ask for a Luke Brown via a pre listed trade.

It's well documented that GWS want senior players for their mini draft picks, and not draft picks.

Foley + Bock compo pick is probably around the mark to get one of those draft picks.

However, I don't think it's enough to snap up O'Meara. Crouch, perhaps.

Weird situation this one.

No way should they give up the compo pick and foley for a pick of a 17 year old.

Flagman is on the money here.

If they are willing to over pay compensation like they did for Scully.
Foley can go.
