Looks like Poore is definitely leaving Saints.

Our offer would place Justin in the top few players in terms of salary at our Club but Justin and his Manager have informed the Club that they wish to pursue other alternatives with a view to gaining a better financial offer.
Bid to underwrite Shark recruits' wages

Asked about Poore's demand to have his contract guaranteed, Zappia said: "They wanted that assurance, and the leagues club will underwrite the contract. The leagues club is not broke and the leagues club is profitable whereas the football club is struggling. But we are not going to fold tomorrow. What we are trying to do is be proactive rather than wait until it is too late."
Zappia said other players had not sought similar guarantees to Poore, who is also being courted by Parramatta but is believed to favour joining the Sharks as he lives in Wollongong.
Happens all the time with players/managers and clubs.can you imagine if one of our good players (or their manager) said that - this forum would have them tarred, feathered and hanging from ray price's statue :lol:
The figures I've heard are around $250k/season from Saints, $330-350k/season Eels and Sharks.I couldn't agree with you more! .... how much money difference are we talking? fmd - the dragons must all be on cheap salaries if he's leaving for more money (enough to make it worth leaving) yet he's been offered right up there with the top salaries at the club
I still don't think he's proven he's worth throwing big top dollars at.
Bennett is a smart man and he's offered him what he's worth.
The Sharks are paying massive overs if reports are true at $400k. Ridiculous.
I personally think we can get better value out of the likes of..
- Logan & Learoyd Lahrs from Canberra.
- Scott from the Cowboys.
- Shackleton from the Roosters.
2 out of those 4 would help.
