Player Watch #21: Noah Balta - Signed Until 2032

[tigersnag]

Bloody beauty! Now play him in defence FFS

 

[tigersnag]

Will he ask for a trade to Freo next year?

No point, Freo are tight arses and don't pay the bill

 

[Jedwards]

Absolute legend! Getting the number 21 put on my next jumper to celebrate!

 

[Ah Cheung]

I love it! 7 years for balta. Kane Cornes will have an aneurysm!

 

[SunshineBoy]

Awsome

 

[Muddiemoose]

God bless the CFMEU for getting it over the line

 

[shaky]

Finally some good news!

God bless the CFMEU for getting it over the line

Now they just need to help out with JD stand redevelopment

 

[THE_GUN]

7 year $7 million deal with $3 mil paid in the 1st year
and the next 6 years at $660,000

Now we can meet the cap floor of 90%

 

[Muddiemoose]

With Dusty, Rioli and Bolton coming off the books with no one really coming back the other way how much do we think he will be getting in the 1st couple of years of the contract?

Gotta be at least 1.3

 

[sante]

Never not going to sign. Could be our next captain

 

[Daka]

Not sure how I feel about this, I don't think he is 7 year deal worthy however, Hopper got a 7 year deal.
and if we didn't give it to him likely someone else would have, I am hoping it's massivily front-ended.

The cap goes up $3 mil next year and we have $5 mil of salary coming off 2024 list for next year and nobody thats getting an increase. just give him $3 mil up front and pay out Lynch salary thats $4.5 mil just there
we could also front end Taranto & Hopper contracts leaving us virtually SFA to pay the next 5 years for these players

 

[THE_GUN]

Virtually a Tiger for life now

 

[Carnthefkntigs]

Good show of faith in the club considering the departures. Would have been guaranteed to receive monster offers in FA.

 

[SunshineBoy]

God bless the CFMEU for getting it over the line

You mean the ETU

 

[djspank]

great to lock in this guy, big fan and he's a good looking rooster too!

 

[SunshineBoy]

Never not going to sign. Could be our next captain

Careful,with the next captain thing , we did that with. Graham , then Baker

 

[sabso]

Wonder if he helps out the club by taking massive unders on his playing contract then taking a sponsorship with someone suspiciously closely linked to us

Or if he signed on condition his cousin also stays on the list til 2032

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

The rock of GilBalta.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

One of the few boys that has a good relationship with Yze. Perhaps the Balkan connnection.

Congrats big Croat

 

[Muddiemoose]

You mean the ETU

Both I’m pretty sure

Old man is ETU and family is close with Setka

 

[el_simo]

Could have leadership potential like Jack, just takes a few more years for the maturity. Step up Balta and the team is yours

 

[SunshineBoy]

Both I’m pretty sure

Old man is ETU and family is close with Setka

I know that I was ETU

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

God bless the CFMEU for getting it over the line

now I know where my union fees are going
