  1. Johns Magic

    Rumoured Signings

    Exactly. He was a young Origin player and signed for well below his value. Apparently convinced to to help keep the rest of the squad together. That went to throwing $1mn a year at Aaron Woods. How happy would you be if you were Klemmer in that situation.

    Rumoured Signings

    I'm happy for you to think that and happy for us to throw ~$1mn a year his way. Anything north of that I would assume comes from TPA's and to be honest I think some of $1mn would come from TPA's but I am comfy making him the best paid prop in the game to get him here.

    I agree with the sentiment of this but unfortunately for the Dogs their track history of lowballing their best young players to long-term deals may be coming back to bite them again. I don't have much sympathy for them when they seem keen to pull the wool over the eyes of their young players so...

    Brown is looking at Mann to play hooker according to Toohey. That's out of the box.

    Has Jennings still got it? I hope he's ready to take a pay cut.

    This was always going to happen. Phil Gould went in there trying to paint this hunky dory image of a stable club that grows from within and builds around its juniors. That meant 4 year contracts for every player under the sun and puff-piece articles quoting players never wanting to leave the...

    The most inventive way around the salary cap yet. If only every player had a dad that clubs could legally write a big fat cheque to for safekeeping when the club is struggling to match their market value.

    Yeah I get that but our wingers next year are likely to be Edrick and SKD. They will do a lot of that dirty work like Holmes and Feki did for Barba, and that worked a treat. His ability under the high ball I can't really comment on to be honest, haven't seen enough. I do understand the...

    The fact it's a grand final shouldn't come into it. Sorry, I meant Origin.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Yeah I wouldn't be putting all my eggs in his basket but you don't score 19 tries in 13 games for nothing. Only 22 and maybe just a confidence thing. He's always had Gutherson/Hayne/Hoffman breathing down his neck for that fullback spot and injuries hurt his hold on the position. Natural...

    I think there's plenty of upside to getting French, particularly if it's for a steal which it looks like it could be. There is none better in the business at sniffing out a try through support play and he has serious pace. He has flaws yes, but his form this year was largely injury-related it...

    Thanks mate, always appreciate you writing this up. I haven't seen Dargan play. French is interesting. I barely watched a second of the Eels this year, not sure why he fell off the radar so much. Obviously physicality may be an issue. No thanks to Mead. I don't mind holding on to Ross, not...

    How much arms did Waqa Blake use? The answer is none. If you think his tackle was fine then you can't complain when judgement calls on grey areas come in. Clearly you don't think Blake's tackle was what the shoulder charge law was brought in for. Plenty out there agree the same for Slater's...
