Mansour asking for 400K a season

Dogs are paying 650k+ from memory for B Morris. Based on that I would take Mansour as that is a bargain. Not saying B Morris is bad but he aint 250k better than Mansour that is for sure.

Saints have Lomax and Mann to fit into the starting 11 so getting Mansour is not ideal.

The trouble is that Mary is not interested in using Mann or Lomax on the wing. I think Morris will go Super League and Nighty will retire. But Millward has signed Aitken, and Lafai for the next few years so the only way for Mann or Lafai to progress would be via a wing spot.

You mean Lomax

No way we were paying that sort of money to Morris & Florence. Morris left whilst he was on 400k so you would think flo was or is on no more than 350k ( i hope so ! )
I remember reading that Nightingale was one 500K a year after bonuses and incentives for making rep teams. I could hardly believe it myself. I also remember reading that Morris was on 500K or more. I thought it was terrible cap management.

Nightingale and De Belin share the approx. 300k bonus from the NRL for long service. So they are not so expensive under our salary cap.


We get that with JDB .. it is not per player - you don't get extra if you have multiples. We don't need nighty to get this extra cash so that is absolutely zero reason to hold onto him assuming Jack is on more than 300k

Big yes from me at that price, and possibly even more if needed.

What many don't know is that Mansour is the ultimate professional when it comes to game prep and getting his body in peak condition. It's one thing to be told what to do by a conditioning coach, it's so much more powerful when one of the senior playing group follows through, to the fine detail (exhibit A: Graham's effect on our pack)

He might be an aging back, but he still has more speed than any of our current wing options, and could set a standard for the young kids coming through in terms of training and work ethic off the field.

Mansour is worth $500k as a winger!! Worth every cent but unfortunately if he leaves panthers he will be a straight replacement for Radrada at the Eeels

Mansour is a weapon. If he were a dragons that would be great.
But why exactly are we talking about Mansour? He plays for Penrith.

Mansour 400k per year. How is there anything but a yes at that price?

For mine, it's a no brainer.

Like him a lot, however he has/is injury prone & does miss plenty of games.He appears to miss more than Dugan & we've seen how some on this forum ripped into him so imagine what would happen to Mansour.
