It rly stuffs us if we cant get him though, cause then we gotta come up with 12mth fill-in options.. and I dont think Ilias is signing for 12mths...
Both Douehi and Ilias have 2025 contracts. Douehi was reportedly on $600k at the tiges in 2024 but has signed for $350k for 2025. However, tiges need spots and would probably release him for 2025 but we surely would not offer more money than that. No more than two years.
At Saints he might at least get first grade time.
According to the Souths forum, Ilias is on over $500k. Why on earth would he leave the rabbits when he is on that? Flanno won't give it to him.
The opinion at Souths is split between "he is a dud" and "he will come good". That is a bad sign.
On this page linked below it is said that he has no kicking, long or short, no speed, and can't organize, but can tackle.
I’ve heard Lachlan will be at the dogs next season.
