I think that's up to the club but can't confirm. There is an allowance of $300,000 for veteran and developed players. Developed that make top 30 is all that I've been able to find, and players who have been a top 30 player for at least 8 years at the club or a top 30 player for at least 10 years across the game. I'd guess the Tigers might use that for Makasini 2026 and maybe Klemmer next year that's purely a guess.https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2024/10/23/new-deals-for-faataape-and-porter/
Can someone refresh my memory....development Contract players are guaranteed promotion to Top 30 in future years?

Faataape and Porter on Development Contracts Im happy with but not if it is going to further clog our top 30 in coming years. Makasini is a worthy punt.
They’ve got us right where they want us 🙁

@tiger5150 I can in some ways understand Porter but Faatape is pretty terrible.

As Winston Churchill may or may not have said..."Now we are just haggling over price".
Sounds like they will find a number. For mine that number needs to start with a 2 or less but it seems to me he is going to be a bad influence to have around in a culture rebuild and we desperately need that roster spot.
So why did we release Large if it wasn't to sweeten the Bateman deal?
Because we’re morons?So why did we release Large if it wasn't to sweeten the Bateman deal?

Very good question. Have we had any official announcement on him from either side?
