Would be great to get him at 600k and could form a good combo with widdop for sure. The worry is now thursdays game. Its amazing how well players go when trying to impress for a bump up in their contract negotiations. He will be up for it big time.

I'm not sure, how much bargaining power we have, if this gets dragged out. We can offer a starting spot each week, a chance to spark his career and lead the team around. If it comes down to $50k per season surely we would not muck about with that?
Farrel, Benji, Creagh going would free up a fair chunk of cap space?
Frankly it's now or never...

I think its simple if he wants to be a starting 7 then he should move onto a club that needs one.

Benji has had a new contract pulled off the table and honestly its the best thing the injuries and starting to mount up.

If he gets offered anything between 400-600k then he should be happy with that but if his manager tries to call teams bluff then he may get sfa from anyone.

At least $1M in cap space you would think.

Promote Host for Creagh, and Milne for Farrell in the squad both for small money. Plenty of money left for a good half back.

Would still like to see Hutch and Mann given another chance at FG.

Agree...Benji has had his best days. His Hamstring injuries are a sign of ageing. Would rather Keary > Benji.

Then also make a play for Bird in 2017.

That's all true but he doesn't necessarily have a lot of bargaining power either. If he doesn't take this offer he will have to take less to stay in the NRL or go elsewhere (overseas or union). It seems both sides are playing hard ball, hopefully it doesn't cost us.

Both Host and Aitken are contracted until the end of next year.
I would look at upgrading and extending their contracts now as well.

KEARY has to be a must signing !! Sign at all reasonable costs!!

Also one big starting prop to assist Packer and AhMau.. Not sure if Masoe will be match fit enough after missing a full season ..
