Dylan Brown is overrated

[Gary Gutful]

Liam Martin cost 700k. A
Crighton was 750k. S.Crighton 800k Matterson 650k signed when made origin.
D.Walker is not costing 600k.He is in his twighlight years and a bench player. Plus contracts start Nov 1 so he has been paid for 5mths already 400k average max

Sources?

 

[Gary Gutful]

We would have rnd 1 mill from Guth/RCG spare.
We will have Dylan's million
Dunsters 250k
Bryce 250
Lussicks 200k
Maybe -
Mattersons 650k
JAC 500k


Walker would cost about 400k MAX I'd say.
Yes we need to upgrade some youngsters. But that isn't going to cost a million dollars.
We should have plenty so spend

Link?
You wouldn't know what he's on, so why say that?
You've claimed so many times before that no one here knows what players are earning, when they have posted similar claims.
So, you've only posted that to get a raise out of people.
You really are a sad merkin. And I don't mean merkin. I mean ****.

I honestly don't get this level of vitriol.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Walker is a bit of a fat heap but he could do more in attack on one leg than Hopgood.

Sources?

Delboy and Suitman are desperate for hindyeleven to share his sources. God forbid merkins should have an opinion without sOuRcEs?!?!!? being thrown in their face.

Maybe Brown's slump in form or visible interest in games this year is due to being booed after signing his mega-contract...

Dylan's just not smart enough to understand why fans aren't all celebrating his amazing good fortune - after his "hands" let us down in 2023 when we really needed him, and failing to stand up when taking over at #7 from Moses last season. So maybe he's having a bit of a sulk, instead of proving people wrong?

euphemism...

 

[eels_fan]

i reckon Newcastle have just told Dylan to play at 50% so he doesn’t risk his partially torn ACL and miss the start of their season

 

[senior]

Is Hopgood even a good link man, do we think he should be moved to an edge?

They'd rather him tear it when he gets there!

D.Walker wouldn't cost over 600k. My source is common sense. Australian players on 800k. Very average NRL players 200k.
Around 400k is about right for D.Walker at this stage. At most id say its a million with the Warriors having already paid 200k due to Nov 1 contracts starting.

Prop, I really believe he is very much like Nathan cayless. A bit of a worker with some skills but not an 80 min player.

For hopgood I think it's more about quality rather than quantity. I feel he gets sloppy when he's done too much work. Leave that to jack williams.

I think he does too much coz others are not?

That's why I like Guymer, get in there and do the hard stuff and let Hopgood focus on quality.

I liked Ray Stone before too but not at hooker

To be a link man you have to pass. He regularly takes the tackle. Probably still thinks he needs to chase the collision.

This year he is taking the tackles. Prior years, he was always looking to offload.

Not sure what Ryles said to him

Agreed, must be a role change.

Bring back the offload.

 

[Timana]

Bring back the offload.

Agreed, that's when he was dangerous as they didn't know what he was going to do. Now head down and straight into the defense. Tackled and so be it

Maybe it's part of Ryles' go back to basics plan.

Lane in his first game back threw a few (and they were loose), last week didn't throw many at all.

However, Paulo threw wild ones.

I mean can't we learn to only throw if the supporter is in a better position

I've always preferred Matterson in this role over Hopgood.

Me too

I liked starting marata and bringing matto
