4 years for a contract is the absolute max, even 3 years is too long in some instances.

I doubt it’s a money thing with him, he’s a country lad / home boy that wants to go home.

What we can offer are his mates, a successful club, a good lifestyle & the fullback spot in the future.

where do these figures come from?

He's not on 850K this year, he's not worth 1 million and there's not one shred of evidence the club is offering that. When is the last time the club paid overs for a player?

Why do people think they're about to now?

He's a young kid with probably a 10 year Origin career ahead of him and has all the makings of an elite fullback. That being said I wouldn't guarantee him the fullback jersey. If that's what it comes down to he will go.

I hope we keep him and wouldn't want to lose him to get Barba.

6 yrs at 1m???? 6m???
No fecking way.
The club plays the cap by percentages, that figure would not configure.
It's the surest way to become a basket case like Many, Canterbury and from next season, St. George.
He wont accept that anyway. Hes been given this pay packet purely on potential. For 6 years it would have to be 1.5 million.
Even then, would we be subjected to the home sick story every 2 weeks for 6 years? No thanks.

$850k is the number being bandied around.

It may have started as the Defer exaggeration number & now its stuck.

What do you think it is...what have you heard?

He may well be on that much total...wouldn’t surprise me if he has $150 to $200k in 3rd party’s.

I think we sent a message with Maloney, I hope we do it with Holmes. Val’s a great player but let another club play overs.

Ponga has been in the comp 5 minutes.

He’s potentially a great player but there’s no guarantees of any position.
