Watmough $600k

Surely Merrin couldnt cost that much?

Watmough's contract will plateau/decline whereas Merrin's will be increasing over time. He'll more than likely get $600-$700k next year and then will want $50k more the next year and then possibly more the year after.

If Trent Merrin is worth $600k, then I'm putting the boots back on.

You wonder why the Saints are in a mess.

Farrrrrrrrk!!!
I can handle Hayne leaving this place, but Haynzy? No way. I'm devastated.

Suity

Don't worry mate, I'm not leaving, I'm just on holidays in LA.

Stagger, where the hell are my slippers? That damn bath had better be hot too!

He was quick enough when he played fullback for Manly. How long does it take to get one's speed back?

Dunno.

Have to admit, I share similar concerns re Hoppa's speed or lack thereof to play fullback.

He has just about all the other skills covered though.

Lets hope the speed/sprint training pays off but I have my doubts.

Notice Paul Kent in the DT had short 4 line story that when Hayne returns from the NRL (yes, that's what he said) the Eels will be strapped financially so he will end up at Bondi

Strapped financially?
As in the club's going broke? Or no room under the salary cap?
Because it makes perfect sense that we have no room but the Roosters would have plenty.

paul kent is a wanker

we will get compensate most likely and he will probably have a cry because roosters didn't get him

Ins: Reece Robinson (Raiders), Beau Champion (Rabbitohs), Isaac De Gois (mid-season - Sharks), Richie Fa’aoso (Sea Eagles), Cody Nelson (Titans), Ben Crooks (Hull FC), Shannan McPherson (Salford Red Devils)

When you put our signings together so far. And Wow!!! It looks like a "quality" group coming in. Daniel Anderson's slogan is "if you don't want em, don't worry we'll take in your shit"

Oh yeah, replacing Foran, Santi, Harrison, Loko, Sio, Tanginoa, Smith, MoiMoi, Pewhairangi, Evans and Cummins with those blokes is a horrible idea....

Sure, losing Hayne sux. But we didn't sign any of those guys to replace Hayne, they are mostly experienced players who can step into the backup roles vacated by the schmucks I listed.
We are still allegedly after Watmough, plus have Hayne's cash to splash now. Let's wait until the book is finished being written before going off half cocked?
