Leaving it late to sign must be waiting to see how much cash is available if kelly leaves

Some clubs have other things to deal with at present.



"I love playing footy for the club. I just want to make sure we keep winning games and put ourselves in a position to play finals footy,” Hopper said.

"Myself, the club and everyone else involved are super happy with where [the contract discussion] is at.

"If we can get back to Sydney and there is an opportunity to really assess everything, and there is a bit more comfort around it, then we might look to really focus on that."
 
This guys a gun. Rate him much higher than Taranto.
Taranto is garbage, and one of the most ineffective midfielders in the comp alongside Matt Crouch.

For some entertainment go visit Taranto's trade thread from last year, I pointed out that he's barely worth a late 1st, while others insisted that it takes 2x top 10 pick to get Taranto at the very least...

Watched him plod around marvel last night. Nowhere near an A grader

He's absolutely dropped right off.
 
He's on a 5 year deal yeah?
Contracted until the end of next year.

A little birdy said that mid last year he may have approached the Richmond Football Club asking if we could potentially look to bring him in. I don't know what happened from there, but no trade eventuated so we either weren't interested, he changed his mind or we just didn't have the currency to get a deal done. Interesting, St Kilda later looked into bringing him in.

I wouldn't say him and Coniglio are the best of pals, at least they weren't when this approach was made last year.

Funny he keeps re-signing. Bit strange for someone who isn’t a fan of his club.
Contract is up next year and he hasn't re-signed yet. Taranto may have repaired his relationship with Coniglio now, but he certainly wasn't in love with the club last year when his management approached Richmond.

Lol so because he hasn’t re-signed over a year before it’s due he isn’t a fan. FMD laughable.

You're rather ignorantly choosing to ignore most of what I'm saying and focusing on one line. Do you struggle with comprehension?

I explained that he has in recent history had issues with his captain, and his management has in recent history approached Richmond and asked about a potential move.

I don't know if he is unhappy at GWS now, but I do know that he was in 2020.

Lol I can comprehend some random quite easily.
Do you know how many times we have “insiders” tell us that our players are definitely gone only for them to not be?
They they want out? And they don’t?

So without the slightest bit of info that has slipped to the media, and as it’s the Giants we have players always in the media “wanting out” supposedly, you want to throw it around.
I’m sure I can find plenty of tigers players unsigned after next year. Do they want out?

As I said, laughable.

Look believe what you want to believe, but the person who provided this info is very reliable and not a "random".

They also said months ago not to worry about Bolton because he will be signing a deal for $600k a year and won't leave. Guess what's just been reported by the media today? Exactly that.

I suggest you watch the Bigfooty tigercast.

Matt Bain, Taranto's manager, laughed off the suggestion that the former number two pick, who was the Giants' best and fairest winner last year, could be moving.

"There's zero truth in it. It will not be happening. He signed last year until the end of 2022 and he loves the club, he loves it up there. Tim Taranto is not leaving," said Bain
