I'm currently having an argument with a tigers fan in twitter that thinks we are dirty merkins and that try could afford more than 750k a year if Andrew wanted to go back...........

Didn't they just sign Woods for some god awful amount ??

I'm over it. Let him go if he wants. Don't throw ridiculous money at him. He's a good player, but we've got to wait and see if he is going to be as good as last year, and props don't win comps.

Dragons have reportedly offered Fifita 750k a year for 5 years.

@RugbyLeagueNews: St George Illawarra Dragons have offered Sharks, NSW & Australian prop Andrew Fifita a 5 year deal worth $750k a year. #NRL

That's approx 13% of the salary cap (currently $5.85 million if memory serves me correctly ).

That's a very high proportion on 1 player. Craig makes a lo of sense but in some ways, he's worth it.

750k could get us 2 decent centres or a prop and a centre or a half like K said.. I wouldn't waste that sort of cash on a prop.

With added $ kicker from the Sharks, that pre season, he gets to go 3 rounds with the Gal.

Get the crown jewels & a block of flats thrown in while you're at it Fith Eater.

If its true about the dragons, smells more like them pushing the price up to piss rabbits & us off, chew up more of the salary cap than needed.

They'd probably have that sort of $. Are probably paying too much for Widdop & Dugan but what else do they spend it on?

Hahaha. The Tigers wouldn't have that much to their name. There's a reason why the NRL have taken over the balance of power there and installed 3 of their own men on the Tigers board.

That price, and the price that was quoted to Parra, are basically what Fifita said it would take for him to go to those teams.

He won't go to a rebuilding team, or a team that won't contend for a grand final any time soon.

It will be down to us and Souths, Souths are odds on to sign him ATM.

Bloke on the left looks pretty fit. Can he play?
