Parramatta another..
Beat me to it.. You think Parra would sign Moses for $800K if they could get Bird for $700K?
Parramatta another..
As much as it grates me to say it he will go well no matter where they put him for mine. The bloke is an out and out winner.
The only frustrating thing is how they get him under the cap and keep all their other stars as well as young Nikorima. It doesn't add up and my problem with rolling out TPA's cover it is the bit of that term that says Third Party. There is no way any TPA money for Broncos players is at arms length.
There is a group of businessmen in Brisbane called the Thoroughbred's. They were set up to 'assist' Bronco's players. There is a certain guy at the Bronco's who is known as 'the bagman'. He will pick up the phone and call members of the thoroughbred's asking them to help out. He left the Bronco's for a period of time and surprise, surprise, their recruitment and roster went south. He came back and suddenly players are again prepared to play for unders again.
The thoroughbreds are the reason Darren Lockyer was spruiking coal seam gas after his retirement lol.. He wasn't getting by only on the $250K a season the Bronco's were paying him.

You blokes said that about Barba. That ended well for youThat seems standard for a player of his ability in 2018 and beyond. Good signing.

So he gave up $800,000 to not have to play for the Knights.
Yeah, probably is believable.
He didn't "have" to play for the Knights. Cronulla's offer was similar to Newcastle's.
Does this mean we keep Taylor? Or can they somehow afford him as well?
